lege of making known the Gospel that the joy and
comfort of home could be left without a pang.

Should not every Christian consider it a blessed
privilege to help in spreading the knowledge of the
salvation which is in Jesus?

LEADING OrnErs To Crnist. —In a recent IJet-
ter, Rey. A: C. Clayton, Seeretary of the Tamil
Publication Committee of the Christian Literature
Society for India, tells of a Kanarese man in India
who went to South Africa, there learned to read,
and aftér reading some Christian books, came back
to his native land and village, where he taught his
own people to know the Christ whom he had found.
Like Andrew of old, he sought out his own brother.
The result was that through his efforts over a hun-
dred of his tribe — the Holeyas — came to the mis-
sionaries in Mysore and became Christians.

“Tt is not often.’ adds Mr. Clayton, “that an
instance of the usefulness and power of Christian
books so clear as this and so cheering comes to light.
Generally we have to do, our work in faith. » We
know that good work is being done, but we do not
see the result.”

western Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis. Price,
40 cts. each.

The late Dr. Hoenecke, professor of theology in the
Lutheran Seminary of the Wisconsin Synod, was known
as a sound, learned theologian, loyal to God’s Word, not
thinking “above that which is written” in Holy Scrip-
tures. His lectures on the doctrines of the Bible are being
published in parts, and are thus preserved as a valuable
contribution to the theological literature of the Lutheran
Chureh in America. The work will, no doubt, find a hearty
weleome. Parts 11 and 12 treat of the doctrines concern-
ing Justification, the Believers’ Union with God, and Sanc-
tification.
