The Lutheran Pioneer.

Tue Four Gosrets Given To Five Mimion
More Preorie. — German missionaries of the Bethel
Missionary Society have been working in Nuanda,
German East Africa, since 1906. Recently they
completed the translation of the four Gospels into
the Nuanda language, and thus gave this portion of
the Bible to five million more people.

Ucaco, German East Arnica. — Bishop Peel,
of the English Church Missionary Society, reports
fine progress in Ugago and Ukaguru. He relates
that in many places the natives are building their
own chapels. ‘This field has 370 stations and out-
stations where regular services are being, conducted.
In some places from 80 to 100 are being prepared
for Baptism.

Women MIssioNARIES OUTNUMBER MEN. —
Women are a tremendous factor in the promotion
of Foreign Mission work. Mr. J. Campbell White
recently declared that women are a generation ahead
of men in their interest in missionary work. For
this reason nation-wide missionary campaigns have
been inaugurated in the hope that men might be
awakened to the great responsibility resting upon
them of carrying the message of Christ to all the
world. Mr. White states that of a total of 21,307
missionaries, 11,659 are women. “It has developed
upon women to shape the characters of young people
that their energies may be turned into the channels
of more serious endeavor; it is given to women
to decide the plane of life we shall follow, and to
set the pace in religious and social service.”

BOOK TABLE.

SYNODAL-ALBUM 1914.. Concordia Publishing House,

A tastily gotten-up booklet containing pictures with
explanatory text of general interest to every member of
the Missouri Synod. This is the second album of a series,
the first having appeared in 1911.

VOKATIONS-DIPLOM. Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. Price, 15 cts., prepaid; 6 for 50 cts.
Sent on rolls, unfolded.
A capital idea. Every pastor would do well to have
a few copies on hand. Will save him the trouble of writ-
ing out the call for a new pastor when having charge of
a vacant congregation.

HOMILETISCHES REALLEXIKON. Vol. 6. Die Schule.

By BP. Eckhardt. 352 pages. Order from Rev. E.
Eckhardt, Battle Creek, Nebr., or’ from Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $1.60, and
postage. —

This sixth volume of Rey. Eckhardt’s enterprise, in-
dexing and classifying all the literature on the school
that has appeared in the various publications of the Syn-
odical CARES shows the painstaking diligence of the
author in a remarkable degree. Every pastor should pro-
cure the whole work, and no teacher of our Church can
afford to be without this volume.

KEHRE

WIEDER. Order from
W. 24th St., Milwaukee, Wis. Price: 10 copies,
5 cts.; 25 copies, 10 cts.; 50 copies, 15 cts.; 100
copies, 25 cts.; 1,000 copies, $2.00.
A two-page tract well worthy of wide distribution
among those who have wandered from the Chureh. May
it be instrumental in bringing back many a lost sheep.

SAENGERBOTE. Lyrisches Quartalheft. No.6.  Sue-
cess Printing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Price, 15 cts.
This number of the Saengerbote brings 57 original
poems, of which eight are English and one is in the Low
German dialect. Five lyrics are set to music, one being
an alumni song with English words. Among the articles
on musical topics is one on “Singing Mothers” which
strongly appealed to us. An article by the editor on the
causes of the lack of lyric poetry anent the Luther anni-
versary in 1817 and one by Prof. W. Schaller on Hebrew
poetry are good.

ART OF KEEPING IN GOOD HEALTH. By Pmil Wilk,
2262 S. Jefferson Ave., St. Louis, Mo.; also to be
had from the Concordia Publishing House. 40 pages.
Price, 25 cts.

We judge this to be a very helpful and practical book.

It is written in simple language, and treats the subject

in such a common-sense manner that it is bound to ben-

efit every one that follows its advice. The following of
its simple instructions will help the healthy man to
maintain his health and strength, and is sure to put the
physically weak person on the road to new vigor and effi
ciency. What makes this little manual particularly val-
uable and worthy of wide recommendation is the Chris-
tian spirit that pervades it from beginning to end. The
pamphlet contains the following chapters: Wealth, Pos-
ture, Walking, Breathing, Bathing, Sleep, Tecth, Diet,
Exercise.
