able that the horse stood still. Had he kept run-
ning, Prof. Bakke would have been dragged to
pieces. The Lord was with His faithful servant,
preserving him from death. How truthful are the
words of the 121st Psalm: “The Lord is thy
Keeper!” Prof. Bakke left Mansura on Tuesday,
November 12, for New Orleans, where, according
to the advice of the doctor, he was taken to the
hospital. He will remain there until he will be
able to go home. May the Lord be with His servant
in his sickness, and may He also grant him a speedy
recovery, that he may be able to continue the great
and glorious work which the Lord has given him
to do. Cras. PEay.

In a New Fieip.— Prof. M. Lochner, who

professor in Immanuel College, Greensboro, N. C.,
and as a willing helper at various mission stations,
has accepted a call to a professorship in the Lu-
theran Teachers’ Seminary, at Addison, Ill. May
"God bless him and his work in his new and impor-
tant field of labor for the Church!

MISSION STUDIES. By Edward Pfeiffer. Second, en-
larged and revised edition. 371 pages octavo. Cloth
binding. Lutheran Book Concern, Columbus, 0.
Price, $1.00 net.

An informing and stimulating book by a writer who
has given much careful study to the subject of missions.
The book contains a valuable Historical Survey and in-
structive Outlines of Missionary Principles and Practice.
The statement on page 80: “The Missouri Synod has
been at work in a portion of the territory of the Leipzig
Mission among the Tamils in South India since 1895”
has been, we have learned, misunderstood as meaning
that the Missouri Synod began its work in a field already
occupied by others. That is not the meaning of the
author’s words. It is well known that the Missouri
Synod, when beginning mission work in India, was very
careful to begin the work in a field where Christ was not
yet named. — Prof. Pfeiffer’s book will prove a helpful
manual for the study of the important subject of missions.
