The first mentioned report brings a very valuable pa-
per, bearing the title, “ ‘Moses Wrote Concerning Me,’ or,
The Principal Prophecies Concerning Christ in the Penta-
teuch.” @ paper takes up only the first five prophecies
of the Pentateuch. The treatment of the other Messianic
prophecies will probably be taken up at subsequent ses-
sions of the district. ‘The Fourth Article of the Augs-
burg Confession: Of Justification,” is the subject of the
instructive paper submitted by Rev. E. Flach at the ses-
sions of the Central Illinois District. The report of the
Central District brings the conclusion of Rev. W. Moll’s
exhaustive refutation of the Romish doctrine of the Church.
— All three reports contain full and encouraging reports
on the extensive Home Missions of these districts. The
report of the School Committee of the Central District
is worthy of special mention.

THE DIFEERENCE. <A Popular Guide to Denomina-
tional History and Doctrine. By I. G. Monson, Pas-
tor at Williston, N. Dak., Norwegian Lutheran
Synod. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Cloth binding; 74 pages, large format. Price, 50 cts.,

The publication of this book supplies a great want.
Into 74 pages the author compresses a wonderfully great
amount of valuable information on the history and doc-
trines of various denominations and cults. -The first
chapter presents the origin of divided Protestantism, the
second chapter brings a brief history of the principal Re-
formed denominations, and this is followed by a brief

summary of the origin and doctrines of the more im-

The main portion of, the

k is devoted to the presentation of the principal Bib-
lieal doctrines. The full agreement of the Lutheran
teachings with these Biblical doctrines is plainly set
forth, and the false teachings of the different dendmina-

tions and cults with regard to these principal doctrines

of the Bible are briefly and concisely refuted. Rev. Mon-
son has rendered the Church a valuable service in writ-
ing this book, which, though scholarly, is yet so simply
written that any ordinary Christian can understand it.
We venture, however, to say that a brief sketch of our
Lutheran Church would have been welcome to many
readers of the book. On page 11 the author, in our opin-
ion, confounds the Pilgrim Fathers with the Puritans.
Vhile the Puritans were very intolerant, it would be
difficult to prove the charge of intolerance against the

founders of Plymouth, Mass.
