THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

A Deserved Rebuke.

A Karen (Southern Burma) convert, visiting
America, was asked to address a congregation in
respect to sending out and supporting missionaries.
After a moment of thoughtfulness he asked, “Has
not Jesus told them?” “O yes,”. was the reply,
“but we wish you to remind them of their duty.”
Said the Karen, “If they will not obey Jesus Christ,
they will not obey me.” — Selected.

A valuable contribution to our Sunday-school literature,
Comprehensive in its contents, it brings four series of out-
lines on Bible Study, Child Study, Religious Pedagogy,
Church History and Missions. Now that the Sunday-

The first edition of this book appeared in 1915. That

for its usability. A returnable copy is sent for examina-

about this book that will strongly appeal to the teacher
or pastor whose time to prepare pupils for confirmation
is limited or who is called on-to prepare persons for mem-
bership who have little or no previous religious training.
