Vol.1: John Eliot, the Apostle to the Indians. _ By W. G. Polack. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 4S pages. Price, 20 cts. In a very interesting manner and in chaste, simple language Pastor Polack gives us the outstanding events in the life of John Eliot, the Puritan preacher, who had the courage, in the face of much prejudice, to show in a practical way his conviction that the natives of our country were also to be counted among the poor sinners whom Jesus has redeemed with His holy, precious blood. We’ hope the succeeding numbers of this series will be the equals of this initial issue in literary excellence and in- terest, so that the publishers may be encouraged to put out the whole series upon completion in permanent form. Search the Scriptures! A Series of Graded Bible Les- son Outlines for the Use of Bible Classes. Issued by authority of the General Sunday-school Board of the Missouri Synod. I. The Life of Jesus the Savior. From the Introduction to the Story of His Life to His Transfiguration. II. The Life of Jesus the Savior. From Christ’s Second Foretelling of His Passion to His Ascension. III. The Establishment and the Propagation of the Christian Church. By Prof. Paul BE. Kretzmann, Ph. D., D. D. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Each 32 pages. Price, 15 cts. each. We have here the first three numbers of an cight- volume series of outlines. The remaining numbers of the series will probably be put on the market in the course of this year. Leaders of Bible classes will find these outlines very useful and practical. Each outline first gives an analysis of the text to be studied, then calls attention to the main difficulties of the passage, and this is followed by special topics that suggest further study and a summary of the chief lessons taught by the text. May every teacher of a Bible class among us provide him- self with the numbers of this valuable help! Synodical Reports of the Missouri Synod, 1924. No. 13. Minnesota-Distrikt.
