BOOK TABLE.

Five Minutes Daily with Luther. Daily Lessons from
the Writings of Martin Luther. By John Theodore
Mueller. The Macmillan Company, New York. Mo-
rocco binding. 375 pages. Price, $2.50. May also
be ordered from Concordia Publishing House, St.
Louis, Mo.

Had it been the compiler’s chief purpose to familiarize
the minds of his readers with Luther’s position on the
principal doctrinal and moral questions in Luther’s own
simple, clear, and eloquent words, we could assure him
that he had admirably succeeded in his attempt; for
Five Minutes Daily with Luther brings a fine summary
of Luther’s principal teachings in the great Reformer’s
own terse and forcible language. We feel that this par-
ticular feature of the book will strongly commend it to
many. But as the name implies, the compiler’s primary
purpose was to give to his readers a devotional guide con-
sisting of readings from Luther’s writings. For this rea-
son he has chosen for each day of the year a passage of
Scripture and a short exposition of the selected passage
from Luther’s published works, to which has been ap-
pended a hymn stanza. There is no Christian who may
not peruse with great spiritual profit the brief page of
each daily meditation, so happily selected by Professor
Mueller from the rich treasures of Luther’s writings.
Apart from its contents, the handsome leather binding
of Five Minutes Daily with Luther particularly commends
it as a gift-book.

First Steps. — Von Kind auf. The Sotarion Publishing
Co., 105 Florida St., Buffalo, N.Y. Price, 75 cts.
a year; 12 numbers, with loose-leaf binder. Cheaper
in quantities.

Pastor Hanser’s First Steps, a juvenile Bible-story
paper for the “real little ones,” with its simple language
and instructive pictures (ten or more to a story), has
struck a most responsive chord and met with wonderful
success. Mothers everywhere are praising the little pub-
lication in highest terms. Von Kind auf is the name of
the German edition of the paper: The publishers would
be pleased to send a sample copy to any interested parent.

Hospice Directory. Lutheran Travelers’ Welfare Work.
1926. Walther League General Offices, 6438 Eggles-
ton Ave., Chicago, Ill. Single copies, gratis; bulk
orders, $5.00 per hundred.

Every pastor who is persuaded of the importance of
Conservation will have a copy of this booklet always at
hand, since with its help he will be able properly to direct
the young people of his flock, and others who intend to
leave home, to those who will take an interest in their
welfare in other localities, and thus he will do his part
toward preventing any loss to the Church by their change
of domicile. This care of the Lutheran traveler on the
part of our Walther League should endear it to the hearts
of us all, not to speak of the many other most commend-
able activities it displays in the interest of Christ and
His kingdom. F.J.L.
