No. II (Exodus to Deuteronomy). By W. Moenkemoeller, Department of Bible History and Greek, Concordia College, St. Paul, Minn. 100 pages. Price, 35 cts. — Guide Lines for Study in Connection with Word-Pictures of Bible Events. No.l. Price, 6 cts.; dozen, 60 cts. Order from Concordia Publishing House, St.: Louis, Mo., or from the author. In thirty-four chapters the author takes us through four books of Moses. As he guides us through the sacred pages, he applies the Word to conditions of to-day. We are pleased to think that the reception Professor Moenke- moeller’s Word-Pictures on Genesis received was sufli- ciently encouraging to induce him to continue the series. The author’s Guide Lines for Study should by all means be used in connection with the Word-Pictures, since they will prove a great help to the student. The Mission of Lutheranism. By Rev. K. Kretzschmar. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 20 cts. This is a reprint of a paper read by Pastor Kretzschmar at the last convention of the Western District of the Mis- souri Synod. The Literature Board showed good judg- ment in deciding upon this reprint. Some of the chapters are intensely interesting, and the whole paper is of more than ordinary value. The language is simple and easily understood. The general reading of this pamphlet would do our Church an untold amount of good. Convention Year-Book, 1926. Walther League, 6438 Eggleston Ave., Chicago, Ill. Price, $1.00. On 128 pages a complete record of the late Thirty- fourth International Walther League Convention is given in this book. It brings the official minutes and reports of the various departments, such as the Executive, Edu- cational, Hospice, Junior, Mission, and Business Depart- ments, the annual statement of the treasurer, and a re- port of the superintendent of the Wheat Ridge Sanitarium. Also the complete programs, the addresses and sermons are given, and the reports on the sectional conferences held during the convention are not missing. We feel sure that the limited supply of this Year-book will soon be ex- hausted, for which reason we suggest that you send in your order soon. The Land of Sunny Days. By G. L. Wind. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $1.25. Those who have read the author’s Natalie will be pleased to hear of this new story. Natalie is interesting; but we believe that you will enjoy this story even more than its predecessor. The plot is well developed, the lan- guage is chaste, the spirit is thoroughly Christian through- out. Mr. Wind has once more given proof that it is quite possible to write an interesting story without becoming immoral in any way. F.J.L. LUTHERAN EXPOSITION. Chicago Lutherans invite all friends who will be in the vicinity of Chicago on October 9 and 10 to visit the first Lutheran Exposition at Hotel Sherman. Due to the splendid cooperation of the various boards of Synod at least fifty exhibits of the various phases of Synod’s work will present to the eye an idea of the world-wide task our Church is undertaking in Educational, Mission, Pub- lication, and Charitable endeavors. Admission to these exhibits is free to the public both days from 9 a.m. to 11 p.at. The exhibits will prove an education as well as an inspiration to all who see them. : In addition to the exhibits six special programs are being arranged, and able speakers will present Synod’s work in an edifying manner. The Official Opening of the Exposition will take place on Saturday, 10 A. M., and combined with this there will be a special Program for Children, with special addresses to the children. Satur- day, 2.30 P.M., a Rally for Ladies will be held in recogni- tion of the great part the ladies play in the building of the Church. At 6.30 P.M., Saturday, a Young People’s Rally and Fellowship Dinner will be combined with show- ing of moving pictures of our Seminary dedication and Walther League convention. Sunday, 11 A. M., a Lu- theran Service will be conducted for travelers and vis- itors. At 3 P.M. a Program of Six-minute Addresses on various branches of our Chureh’s work will be combined with special music by the Chicago Bach Chorus. The Ex- position will come to a close with an Inspirational Ser- vice at § P. M., with special music by the Chicago Teach- ers’ Choir. The committee is working and praying that this Lu- theran Exposition will prove a stimulus and power for promoting and maintaining greater interest in the world- wide task of our Chureh. We hope that all who are within reach of Chicago will take advantage of the op- portunity to accept the invitation and attend the first Lutheran Exposition. Tue CoMMITTEE.
