ness into the marvelous light of God’s grace? Will
you help to bring him into the blessed Lutheran
Zion, where he and his children may sit at the feet
of Christian pastors and teachers and learn those
things that will make him a fit citizen for both this
world and the world to come? As you read these
lines, think of his struggles from 1619 to 1932,
with almost every hand against him. What will the
finished portrait be? R.0.L. L.

BOOK TABLE.
(By the Ep1Tor.)

Bible Difficulties. An Examination of Passages of the
Bible Alleged to. Be Irreconcilable with Its Inspira-
tion. By W.Arndt. Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. Durable cloth binding; 117 pages.
Price, 75 cts.

In a very clear and interesting way the author treats
subjects like these: The Miracles and the Bible; Moral
Difficulties; Historical Difficulties; Scientific Difficulties;
Miscellaneous Difficulties. A careful reading of this little
book will go far towards strengthening the faith of the
timid Christian in the inerrancy of the Scriptures. We
know that the Bible is true in all its statements; but
there is some satisfaction in being able to meet the objec-
tions of the enemies of Holy Scripture by means of argu-
ments so convincingly presented in this little volume by
Dr. Arndt.

The Festivals and Sacrifices of Israel. Compiled
from the Mosaic Regulations. By William Moenke-
moeller. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Paper; 40 pages. Price, 20 cts.

This pamphlet is of permanent value, and it is a pity
that it was not found practicable to publish it in perma-
nent binding. Pastors and teachers will find this mono-
graph a reliable treatise on the festivals and sacrifices
of Israel as prescribed by Moses at the command of God.
There are few men among us better acquainted with the
Old Testament laws and usages than Professor Moenke-
moeller, who for years has made Old Testament history
his special study.

The Male Church-Choir. By J.C. Wohlfel. Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 30 cts.

The Male Church-Choir contains thirteen hymns for
different occasions. Male-choir leaders looking for rather
easy selections will in this selection, we believe, find just
what they want. The publishers hold out the promise
of another similar collection if this series meets with
& reasonable welcome. We hope it may.

Concordia Collection of Sacred Choruses and An-
thems for More Ambitious Choral Organiza-
tions. No.24: My God, Why hast Thou Yorsaken
Me? (Mein Gott, warum hast du mich verlassen?)
By J. A. W. Wiersig. No. 25: Come, O Come, Thou
Holy Spirit. (Komm, o komm, du Geist des Lebens.)
By J. O. Wohlfeil. Concordia Publishing House, St.
Louis, Mo. Price, each 15 cts.

These selections are intended for mixed choirs. The
former contains a duet for soprano and alto. Both are
of moderate difliculty.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

The undersigned wishes to thank publicly the many
friends of our Colored Missions for their generous dona-
tions of used clothing and shoes sent to him during the
past fall and winter months for distribution among needy
members in Alabama. In many cases the aid thus ren-
dered was a God-send. There are still several congrega-
tions with members in need, and a few additional ship-
ments would be welcomed for these. “Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have
done it unto Me.”— Please send all donations to the under-
signed at Box 683, Selma, Ala., so that the proper appor-
tionment may be made. Epwarp A. Westcott.
