$1.50. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
These two books are practically a reprint of Prof. Mez-
ver’s Lessons for Bible Classes, which appeared from
month to month in pamphlet form during the past three
years. ‘The professor, in these two handy volumes, gives
us 2 popular commentary of the Gospel according to St.
Matthew and the Acts of the Apostles. Both books are
well illustrated, and are each furnished with five colored
maps. Pastors and teachers will find these commentaries
very helpful; but also those of our lay readers, espe-
cially Sunday-school teachers, able to read German, will
never be sorry for the investment if they procure these
volumes. We hope that the publishers may decide to is-
sue these commentaries in the English language also for
the benefit of those not able to read and understand

German.

SAENGPRBOTE — LYRICAL QUARTERLY. No.8. Suc-

We are pleased to announce the publication of the
latest issue of this excellent quarterly to our readers.

by old and new masters, and two maps of Palestine.
IX and 481 pages. Size, 7% X10. Beautifully

Northwestern Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis.
Price, $3.00. ‘To be had from Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo.

The author of this book is known to not a few of our
‘renders as a popular writer on religious subjects. This
book, however, is by far his most ambitious literary ven-
ture, There is no doubt in our mind that through this

book the knowledge of our blessed Savior will be in-
creased in many a family. Rey. Dallmann’s style is al-
Ways racy and crisp, simple and popular. There isn’t
a long, involved sentence in the book. The language is
just of the kind that our people can best understand,
and the manner of presentation throughout is of such
a nature that it can be grasped by all. The twenty col-
oved plates are fine examples of sacred art, while the 195
half-tones are in a great measure reproductions of mus-
terpieces of sacred art. To use the author’s words, may
the book “create a want that ought to be felt, and then
supply the demand.”
