80 THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

he quietly accompanied her to the service. At the
close of the service the missionary asked if anybody
present wished to become a Christian. To the great
surprise of every person present the persecuting
husband arose and announced to all that he in-
tended to be a follower of Christ from that day on.
When he was asked what his reasons were for
wanting to become a Christian, he replied that it
was all due to his wife’s conduct. He was then
told that a Christian man could have only one wife;
to which he replied that he had already thought
of that matter and had decided to release all his
other wives and to live only with this one, who
had shown him by her example what a true Chris-

BOOK TABLE.

Search the Scriptures. 1V. A Survey of the Writers
and the Books of the Bible.—V. The Chief Doc-
trines of the Bible.— VI. Survey of Old Testament
History (Biographical). By Paul EF. Kretzmann,
Ph. D., D. D. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,
Mo. Price, 15 cts. each.

Many will join us in thanking Dr. Kretzmann for
these three series of Bible lesson outlines. The Bible
classes that will study their Bibles under the guidance
of these outlines and the leadership of a competent teacher
can only be envied by those who are not so fortunate.
No pastor and no teacher among us should fail to send
for these outlines with the object of eventually using
them in class-work.

The Fundamental Differences Between the Lutheran
and the Reformed Churches as Set Forth in
the Visitation Articles of 1592. Edited with
notes and comments by John Theodore Mueller.
Concordia Publishing House, St.Louis, Mo. Price,
10 cts.

Many of those who attend our adult confirmation
classes are persons who were brought up under Reformed
influences. To them the fundamental differences between
Lutheranism and Calvinism will be set forth by every
conscientious pastor, even though it be very briefly. Pas-
tors will find it most convenient to have a supply of this
booklet on hand to give to such adult catechumens. Pro-
fessor Mueller’s terse and illuminating notes and happy
selection of Bible proofs help greatly in bringing out the
fundamental differences existing between Lutherans and
Reformed.
