THE LUTHERAN PIONEER

BOOK TABLE.

(By the Eprror.)

Curriculum in Church History for Lutheran Schools.
By M. EB. Dobberfuhl. Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. Price, 25 cts.

Curriculum in Language for Lutheran Schools. By
Alfred Schmieding. Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. Price, 55 cts.

The Lutheran teacher who neglects to order and study
these curricula is making a big mistake. Very clearly these
curricula, as did those which have been previously pub-
lished, point out the aim to be striven for and then just
as clearly suggest the activities of the pupils that these
aims may be attained. The teacher who uses these cur-
ricula will not only impart knowledge to his pupils, but
will truly train them.—The Curriculum in Church His-
tory is going to bear blessed fruit in more consecrated and
intelligent service of God, we are sure.

Concordia Christmas-Cards. Series of 1932. Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price per set of
ten cards and ten lined envelopes, 25 cts.

Ten high-grade gold-edge greeting-cards, ten choice
Bible-texts, ten artistic paintings, all in ten beautifully
lined envelopes, —all for only 25 cents! And if you so
desire, you may send these cards, provided you don’t seal
the envelopes, with a “Merry Christmas” and your name
for only 1% cents postage. Of course, you should tuck in
the flaps of the envelopes in this case. These cards are
to be sold by the children of our schools, and we should
wait with the buying of our supply of cards till these little
venders have come to see us.

From Heaven Above. A Vesper Song Service for Christ-
mas. Compiled by P. 2. Kretzmann. Concordia Pub-
lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price: Single copies,
8 cts., postpaid; dozen, 72 cts., plus postage, 100,
$4.50.

This program is somewhat “different,” and for this
reason it will appeal to many. After an opening service
the Christmas-story is told in song and recitation under
four heads: The Message Proclaimed, The Message Re-
ceived, The Gift Appreciated, Giving the Heart to Jesus.
The service closes appropriately with the Nunc Dimittis,
prayer, and benediction. <A liberal selection of recitations
is added for optional use. i

Christianity vs. Freemasonry. By 7heo. Dierks. Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Bound in
blue cloth. VIII and 166 pages, 5X7%. Price, $1.00.

This book ought to find many readers; at least every
pastor among us should procure a copy for his own read-
ing and study. The author has a pleasing style and ad-
mirably succeeds in setting the “natural religion” over
against the religion of Christ in a way that should not
offend, but rather compel the commendation of, those to
whom he brings proof that only the Christian religion
can save. While writing his book, the author frequently
consulted a large number of Masonic books, — he mentions
thirty in the bibliography, — volumes of the Builder, the
official journal of the National Masonic Research Society,
and various monitors and rituals.

NOTICE TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

In order to render satisfactory service, we must have our
current mailing-list correct. The expense of maintaining this
list has been materially increased: Under present regulations
we are subject to a “fine” on all parcels mailed to an incorrect
address, inasmuch as we must pay 2 cents for every notifica-
tien sent by the postmaster on a parcel or periodical which
is undeliverable because no forwarding address is available or
because there has been a change of address. ‘Chis may seem
insignificant, but in view of the fact that we have subscribers
getting three or more of our periodicals and considering our
large aggregate subscription list, it may readily be seen that
it amounts to quite a sum during a year; for the postmaster
will address a notification to each individual periodical. Our
subscribers can help us by notifying us—one notification
(postal card, costing only 1 cent) will take care of the ad-
dresses for several publications. We shall be very grateful for
your cooperation,

ConcorDIA PubLisHinG House, St. Louls, Mo.
