The Lutheran Pioneer.

*

she was willing to give up her Buddhist beads, and
yet in the afternoon I heard her learning from one
of the older Christians how to pray, and saying she
was going to get her daughter-in-law to follow
Christ too.”

Fotry oF Iporatry.— A striking illustration was
used by a mission worker in India, to show the folly
and shame of the idolatry of the Hindus. He said:
‘‘Supposing that a woman should dress a dog in
men’s clothes and tell people it was her husband,
how would the husband like it? But you do worse:
you dress up a stick or stone and tell people that it
is God!’ The Bible says: They that make these
idols are like unto them: so is everyone that trust-
eth in them.

Installation of Mr. Napoleon Seeberry.

Mr. Seeberry is a former pupil of Bethlehem
school, New Orleans. After Confirmation he en-
tered our Teachers’ Seminary at Addison, IIl.,
where he remained four years, and finished his
studies in the newly opened Luther College, under
the direction of the Rev. F. J. Lankenau. Gradu-
ating last June, he was soon after called to take
charge of the third class of St. Paul’s School, thus
remaining under the supervision of his former in-
structor. On the 17th Sunday after Trinity he was
installed in his office with appropriate ceremonies
conducted by Rev. Lankenau, who preached from
Matt. 18, 10.11. May God abundantly bless the
efforts of this young laborer in His vineyard, and
may the work he is doing bear fruit in a rich har-
vest of souls. K. KrerzscHMar.

Not a Friend of Noisy Meetings.

Aunt Judy was not a friend of noisy meetings,
in which people jump and shout. To one of her
shouting colored sisters she said: ‘‘’Tain’t de true
grace, honey; ’tain’t de sure glory. You hollers
too loud. When you gets de love in your heart,
and de Lamb in your bosom, you'll feel as if you
was in dat stable at Beth’lem, and de blessed Vir-
gin had lent you de sleeping Baby to hold.”’

OUR BOOK TABLE.

Licut pes LeBENs. Ein Jahrgang von Evangelien-Predig-
ten aus dem Nachlass des seligen Dr. C. F. W. Walther,
gesammelt von C.J. O. Hanser. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $2.25.

The Rey. O. Hanser has done the Church good service
by collecting and preparing for publication this new volume
of Gospel sermons from the brilliant pen of the sainted

Moe. Walther, whose praise as a sound theologian and as
a master of the art of preaching is in all the churches.
Of Walther’as a preacher one of Germany’s divines wrote:
‘Walther is as correct in form as a University or Court
Preacher, and yet as popular as Luther himself. If the
Lutheran church wishes to bring her doctrines again among
the people, she must be as faithful and firm in doctrine and
as touching and timely in form as is the case with Walther.
Walther is a model preacher in the Lutheran church.”? And
an American divine wrote of Walther’s sermons: ‘They are
models of Christian sermons, full of Christ and of the way
to God through Him. They are withal so simple, so trans-
parent, and so direct that the common people can read them
gladly, and yet so thoughtful, so comprehensive, and so
suggestive that the educated cannot but be instructed and
edifled. What a blessing for all time, that these sermons
will be read and pondered over in tens of thousands of
households, teaching how to believe in Christ and to over-
come by the blood of the Lamb!”’

This new volume of Walther’s sermons also sets forth
Christ as the Light of the world, in whom all that believe
find the light of everlasting life. May the precious book
be blessed for the salvation of sinners, for the perfecting
of the saints, and for the edifying of the body of Christ.
