THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

catechist will bear rich fruit and be a means of rearing
a generation of Lutherans who will base their faith
upon the infallible and immovable Word. That is, after
all, what we are aiming at: we want our people to be
Lutherans and to accept Luther’s Small Catechism and
its exposition as we have it in our Synodical Catechism
because it has its source and foundation in the Bible.

The Wide-Open Island City.
a Big City. By Carl A. Gieseler.
and Missions, edited by L. Fuerbringer.
illustrated. Price, 25 cts.

This booklet brings the personal experiences of a pas-
tor who spent ten years of his life as a missionary in
one of our great industrial centers. We should like to
see this pamphlet have thousands of readers; but we
desire to commend its careful reading and study to all
pastors working in cities, since it contains that which
will be particularly heartening, instructive, and stimu-
lating for them.

Of Judah’s Tribe and David’s House. — Aus Judas

Liturgical Service for Children and the Entire Con-

gregation. By Prof. P. E. Kretzmann, D. D., and
Walter Wismar. Price, 5 cts. per copy; dozen,
50 ects.; 100, $3.50.

This liturgy is intended for congregations where the
children’s Christmas service must be bilingual. It has
a number of unique features that will make a strong
appeal.

Exclusive Christmas Greeting Cards. With religious
texts, Christian sentiments, and original designs.
Ten cards in a package; 25 packages to the box.
Special prices made to Christian day- and Sunday-

» schools.

Concordia Publishing House should receive the whole-
hearted support of the Church for its attempt to put
Christ back into Christmas greetings. The use of these
cards will be a missionary work; for everywhere where
these cards go, they bring the message of Christ and
His salvation. It would surely be a pity if the publishers
did not meet with our full support in this missionary
enterprise.

by Dr. W. H. T. Dau, president of Valparaiso Uni-
versity. Price, 60 cts. Order from Concordia Pub-
lishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

Of this calendar the editor says in his fine prefatory
“Greeting”: “Ninety-one pious authors from every part
of the United States have collaborated in furnishing to
the congregation of day-by-day with Jesus worshipers
some word of cheer and appeal, comfort and warning,
which the reflective mind may silently ruminate while
pursuing his round of labors.” We hope that through
the instrumentality of this calendar many. more home
altars may be erected!
