The Lutheran Pioneer.

A Large, Though Difficult Mission Field.

According to late statistics, there are 11,483,876
Jews in the world, 8,876,299 of whom are in Europe,
and 1,880,579 in America. The Russian empire
contains by far the greatest number of Hebrews,
it having no fewer than 6,215,805. The United
States follows second with a Jewish population of
1,800,000, over half of whom live in New York City.
This veritable Jerusalem embraces one thirteenth of
the entire Jewish race, more Jews than ever before
were gathered together in one city.

In this great population of almost a million we
have only one missionary at work, calling the lost
sons and daughters of Israel to Jesus, the Savior,
the only Savior of Jews and Gentiles.

O that the Lord's salvation
Were out of Zion come,

To heal His ancient nation,
To lead His outcasts home!

BOOK TABLE.

STATISTISCHES JAHRBUCH der Missourisynode fuer
das Jahr 1912. 238 pages. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 50 cts.

A most interesting book. We generally regard figures
as being dry and uninteresting, but the collection of fig-
ures in this book cannot but prove of great interest to
every one that loves his Lutheran Chureh. We have taken
the liberty of giving our readers a taste of the contents
of the Year-book’in this number of the Pioneer, and we
hope that this taste which we have given them will in-
duce them to send for the book and study it.

The Northwestern Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis.

has sent us the following publications: —

MORAL PERILS THREATENING ~YOUR CHILD.
A Plea to Parents. By Rev. E. I’. Hacrtel. 58 pages.
Paper cover. Price, 10 cts.; per dozen, $1.00.

PRAYERS. Compiled by Rev. EB. F. Haertel. 47 pages.
: Price, 10 cts.; per dozen, 75 cts.; in quantities of
50 or more, 5 cts. each.

DOGMATIK von A. Hoenceke. 15. Lieferung. 80 pages.
Price, 40 cts. : :

In the first of the above publications the author, largely
upon findings of the Vice Commission of Chicago, points
out the chief moral dangers threatening our youth, and
the causes of their downfall. But not only does the author
tell parents of the awful dangers threatening-our boys
and girls, but he shows in plain, everyday language how
Christian fathers and mothers may arm their children
against the enemies’ attacks.

The second is a compilation of well-selected prayers.
It is of vest- size, and therefore well adapted to put
into ee ae of our boys and girls when they leave the

tal roof. :

In the 15th part of the late Dr..A. Hoenecke’s Dog-
matics the article on the Church is completed, and the
treatment of the doctrine of the last or final things is
begun. ‘The study of each part of this truly Lutheran
Dogmatics must be a source of great delight to every Lu-
theran theologian. :

* Clinton St., Napoleon, O.

HOW LOVELY ARE THY DWELLINGS. A musical
composition for mixed choirs, with English and Ger-
man texts. By J. @. Stricter. To be ordered from
the composer, 4510 Virginia Ave., St. Louis, Mo.
Price, 25 cts,; per dozen, $1.75.

We have here the beautiful Sith Psalm set to most
appropriate music. As a musical composition it is a worthy
successor to the composer’s Lord’s Prayer, which we had
the pleasure of reviewing a few months ago.
