THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

well. The leaders of this assembly were convinced
that he was truly a Christian disciple, and he was
baptized. Immediately he began “witnessing,” and
soon he brought nine others to find the true Light,
Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

Within three months after he had found that
tattered little book, he was settled here in our sem-
inary [the Burman Theological Seminary of Insein]
to study for his ministry of witnessing. His expert
use of the Burmese language, gained from his years
in the monastery, set him above the ordinary student,
and his passion for evangelistic work will make of
him a man of power. — Missions, December, 1929.

BOOK TABLE.

Das Grundbekenntnis der evangelisch-lutherischen
Kirche. Mit einer geschichtlichen Einleitung und
kurzen erklaerenden Anmerkungen versehen. Von
Prof. F. Pieper, D.D. Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. Cloth; 155 pages. Price, $1.00.

This is a reprint of a book published fifty years ago

to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Augsburg
Confession. We thank the publishers for insisting upon
the publication of this reprint despite the objections of
the venerable author; for nowhere can a person find a bet-
ter narrative of the events leading up to the presentation
of the Augsburg Confession than is here given, and no
other person could furnish such clear-cut, succinct, and
helpful comments to our dear Augustana as Dr. Pieper
does in this book.

theran State Paper. By William Dallmann, D.D.

western Publishing House Print, Milwaukee, Wis.
Price: Single copy, 10 cts.; in quantities, 5 cts.

In terse languagé the author tells us how the Augs-
burg Confession came into being; when, where, how, and
by whom it was presented; and why it is so important

a document. F.J.L.
