The Lutheran Pioneer.

In the afternoon a mission sermon was delivered
by the Rev. J. Ph. Schmidt, of Concord, N. C.,
from the Gospel lesson for the day, Luke 19, 41—48.
This service was attended by a large and apprecia-
tive audience. The chapel was filled with hearers.

At night, the undersigned also preached to a
very large audience from John 3, 3, the subject
being: The New Birth.

The collection for the day was $28.00. The
church in Charlotte, from all appearances, is in a
prosperous condition. It must be remembered that
this church had quite a setback a few years ago
when part of the members followed Rev. Pfifer, who
organized a congregation in opposition to the mother
church. But by God’s help, the present pastor has
succeeded in bringing back many of the stray sheep
to the fold. The membership of the church has in-
creased considerably since Rev. McDavid took charge
of the field.

The schoolhouse has been remodeled, and a coat
of paint applied, which added greatly to the pre-
serving of the building and towards the improving
of the looks of the property.

May the Lord continue to shower His blessing
upon the mission field in Charlotte, N. C.

Right Riches.

It is not a sin to possess property and a family;
but thou art forbidden to convert thy possessions
into thy masters; thou must remain their master
and cause them to serve thee. — Luther.

BOOK TABLE.

Tumrp Reaver. Illustrated. Standard American Series.
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price,
30 cts.

This well-printed, substantially bound, and finely
illustrated Reader carries forward progressively the work
of the First and the Second Reader. It consists of a care-
fully graded series of lessons in prose and verse containing
only wholesome reading matter suited to the capacity of
the pupils and adapted to awaken their interest. The new
difficult words are placed at the head of the lessons in
which they first occur, and, whenever necessary, defined
in such words as are already familiar to the pupils from
the vocabulary of the preceding, Readers. We are con-
fident that the hope of the Committee which prepared
the book will be fulfilled and that the Reader will “lighten
the under of the teacher and interest and please his
pupils.

SYNopALBERICHT des Illinois-Distrikts. A. D. 1906. Con-
por Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price,

The entire educational work of the Church ifs inti-
mately related to the work of missions. This is especially
true of our Colleges and Seminaries, whose main object

it is to prepare preachers and teachers for the Lord’s
work in church and school. It was therefore a happy
idea to present at the recent meeting of the large Illinois
District of the Missouri Synod a paper on “Our Schools *
of the Prophets,” established and fostered by the Church
in obedience to the Lord’s command: “Preach the Gospel
to every creature.” The instructive and inspiring paper,
presented in full in the Synodical Report, gives to this
Report a special value and makes it worthy of a wide |
circulation.

HANDBUCH DER DEUTSCHEN NATIONALLITERATUR. Von
O. Hattstaedt, Professor am Concordia-Gymnasium
zu Milwaukee, Wis. Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. Price, $1.75.

This is an excellent manual of German literature, well
adapted for the class-room and for private study. The
introductory chapters to each of the seven periods and
the biographical and critical notices are written, and the
selections from the leading authors are made from a
Christian standpoint. This gives to the book a peculiar
worth and makes it all the more welcome for use in our
higher church schools and for private reading in our
Christian homes. The beautiful volume, clearly printed,
handsomely bound, and adorned with a number of por-
traits of artistic merit, will also prove a suitable and
welcome present in the coming Christmas season.
