The Tutheran Pioneer.

Be not Weary in Well-Doing.

Let us be liberal and bountiful towards all men,
For it is an easy thing
for a man to do good once or twice, but to continue,
and not to be discouraged through the ingratitude
and perverseness of those to whom he has done
good, that is very hard. Therefore he does not only
exhort us to do good, but also not to be weary in
doing good. And to persuade us he adds: “For in
due season we shall reap if we faint not.” As if he
said, “Wait and look for the eternal harvest that is
to come, and then no ingratitude or perverse dealing
of men shall be able to pluck you away from well-
doing; for in the harvest time ye shall receive most
plentiful increase and fruit of your seed.” — Luther.

How Do You Spend Sunday?

Po a Christian friend who asked this question
a business man laughingly replied: “Oh, I have no
time to go to church; I spend Sunday in settling
my accounts.” “Permit me to remind you,” said
the other solemnly, “that the judgment day will be
spent in the same way.” : .

“We should fear and love God, that we may not
despise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred,
and gladly hear and learn it.”

Please Take Notice!

_ According to the amended postal regulations pub-
lishers of monthly periodicals must collect all subscrip-
tions within four months of expiration date, otherwise
the postal ‘authorities threaten to compel payment of
postage at a much higher rate on all unpaid copies sent
out. This would not only require considerable extra time
and labor in getting the PIoNEER ready for the mails, but
would entail an additional cash outlay of twelve cents per
annum, which amount, in all fairness, would have to be
charged the delinquent subscribers. We therefore politely
beg of our esteemed subscribers to take due ‘notice and

kindly remit all amounts due within the prescribed time. |

If you are subscribing through an agent, please pay the

UNSER ERSTER EMIGRANTENMISSIONAR, Pastor STEPHANUS
Key. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Price, cloth binding, 30 cts.; in paper cover, 20 cts.
A well-written story of a useful life. Pastor Keyl was
our first “emigrant missionary” in New York, faithfully
attending for many years to the needs of the immigrants
with great self-denial and loving care. After his departure
a secular paper in his home city wrote: “He did his work
nobly and well, and no man can fully estimate the value
of the blessings which came from the loving, sensible, un-
selfish, and persistent efforts of this grand and devoted
missionary of the cross.”

Tne Passion Kina. By Rev. A. R. Kuldell. Lutheran
Book Concern, Columbus, O. Price, 40 ets.

The author is known as a zealous missionary among
the Jews. In this book he presents twelve brief, edifying
discourses based on the twelve verses of the 53d chapter
of Isaiah. “This chapter,” says the author, “is very pre-
cious to me, and it is my heart’s desire to make it precious
to every truth-loving soul.”
