Servants of the Word. 2 Tim. 4, 1—5. By C. M.
Zorn, D.D. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,
Mo. 58 pages. Price, 35 cts.

This is a very fluent translation of the German orig-
inal which appeared about two years ago. The trans-
lator is Rev. F:W. Docter. The treatise is based on 2 Tim.
4, 1—5, and is a timely application of these apostolic
words. Though not ‘all readers will agree with the ven-
erable author in all of the conclusions which he reaches,
yet we are sure that no one can read the brochure with-
out profit. This English edition is provided with a fore-
word by Dr. Dau. It may be worth mentioning that the
German edition is still to be had for 20 cts.

tums und Christentums durch Koenigsberger
Professoren der Theologie. By F. Huebener. Price,

end. We are sure that this brochure will have many.
satisfied readers.
