The epitaph on the monu- ment was composed by the royal prince himself and reads thus: — Firm wast thou, humble and wise, Honest, pure, free from disguise, Father of orphans, the widows’ support, Comfort in sorrow of every sort: To the benighted, dispenser of light, Doing, and pointing to, that which is right; Blessing to friends, to people, to me. May I, my father, be worthy of thee, Wisheth and prayeth thy Sarabojee. Though these lines may lack the highest poetic merit, such a Jack is more than compensated by the affectionate appreciation which breathes in every line. Surely a wonderful testimony to a Christian missionary. F.J.L. BOOK TABLE. The Concordia Sunday-School Series. Primary Leaficts, published every eight weeks; price, 30 cts. a year.

Hartenberger. Silk-cloth binding. 200 pages. Price, $1.75, Deed Order from . J. H. Hartenberger, Red Bud, Ill., or from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. We are pleased to take notice of this volume of Len- ten sermons by Pastor Hartenberger. Like his German sermons, of which several volumes have been published, these English addresses are clear as to thought, and the language is simple. These Lenten discourses will appeal because of their very simplicity, and the tone of hearty sincerity pervading them. We do not hesitate to say that this volume, with its reverent and practical treatment of the Passion Story, will meet with cordial appreciation. _ The Little Minister of Elderon Creek, and other stories and poems. By John Theodore Mueller. Published by G. A. and E. A. Fleischer, 106 N. La Salle St., Chi- cago, Ill. Very handsome leatherette binding. 185 ages. Price, $1.25. Order from Concordia Publish- ig House, St. Louis, Mo. We are sorry that we did not have the opportunity _to call the attention of our readers to this handsomely bound, excellently printed, and, above all, well-written book # month or two ago. Besides the title story, which takes up over half of the book, there are four shorter _ stories and a number of poems in the volume. Professor Mueller is a good story-teller. His tales are interesting as to plot, simple as to lan; and thoroughly Chris- _ tian as to tone. May this book find a ready sale and thus _ encourage author and publishers to let other numbers of “The Good-will Series” soon follow. F. J. L. A Request.
