The Lutheran Pioneer.

LUTHERBUCH. Von Gustav Just. Jubilaecumsausgabe.
- Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 100
pages; handsome cloth-binding. Price, postpaid,

28 cts.

This is Just’s classic Life of Luther in a new binding.
The text, type, and illustrations, we are pleased to state,
have not been changed; all that has been done is that
our old friend has been given a nice new holiday attire
in honor of the Four-hundredth Jubilee of the Reforma-
tion to be celebrated next year.

MISSOURI SYNOD REPORTS. No. 2. Minnesota-Dis-
trikt. 68 pages; price, 13 cts. No. 2a. Oestlicher
Distrikt. 76 pages; 15 cts. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo.

The very practical paper by Rev. H. Meyer in the re-
ort of the Minnesota District is on the subject, “The

Tem oral Provision for the Servant of the Word.” The

timely paper presented by Rev. F. C. Verwiebe to the mem-

bers of the Eastern District, “The Reformation by Luther

a Work of God,” is a continuation of the paper read by

the same pastor at the preceding meeting of the same

body. Both papers deserve a wide reading.

BEREA BIBLE CLASS LESSONS, 1916—1917. Edited
by Pastors A. Doerffler and L. Sieck. Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, postpaid,
11 cts.

This is the third number of this adult Bible Class
guide. The two former numbers were widely used, and,
no doubt, this issue will also find a ready sale. The Life
of Joshua and the Parables of Jesus are treated in the
new booklet.

BLESSINGS OF THE REFORMATION. A Children’s
Service for the Anniversary of the Reformation.
By —ev. C. C. Morhart. Price, per copy, 5 cts.;
25 copies, $1.00; 100 copies, $2.75; 200 copies, $4.00;
300 copies, $5.00. Lutheran Publishing Company,
105 Florida St., Buffalo, N. Y.

This order of service emphasizes seven blessings of the
Reformation, “presented in the colors of the rainbow.”
The blessings brought out are, Justification, Bible, Cate-
chism, Lord’s Supper, Preaching, Good Works, and Lib-
erty. The arrangement of the program is unique, and
strongly appeals to us. We advise our pastors and teachers
to send for a sample copy for examination.

HARMONIE. A selection of spiritual songs for mixed
choirs. By J. C. Stricter. No. 8. As a Hart Panteth,
Ps. 42. No. 9. Make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord,
Ps. 100. Price, 25 cts. per copy; $2.00 per dozen.
Published by I. C. Strieter, 617 East Second South
St., Carlinville, Ill. May also be ordered from Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

Those who are acquainted with the previously pub-
lished sacred songs of Teacher Strieter will be pleased to
learn of the appearance of these two musical composi-
tions. ‘The composer has evidently grasped the spirit of
the sacred hymns, and happily succeeds in bringing out
the divine thought of the texts.

SAENGERBOTE. A Lyrical Quarterly. No. 15. Success
Printing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Price, 15 cts.

This number brings some real gems. The German
poem, “Ich bin dein Pilgrim, Herr,” appealed to us par-
ticularly. The poem, “Gib uns Maenner,” has the true
poetic ring, and is a composition of rare virility. The

tic peaaring into English of Luther’s classic letter to

is little son Hans about “The Garden Beautiful” is ex-
ceptionally happy, and deserves to be received into future
editions of our Standard Readers.

NEGRO YEAR-BOOK. An annual encyclopedia of the

Negro. 470 pages; paper cover. Price, postpaid,

" 35 cts. Address The Negro Year-Book Company,
Tuskegee, Institute, Ala. - ‘

This is a book which should be in the hands of every

pastor and teacher of our Colored Mission. It is a book

that everybody interested in the Negro and his progress
should make it a point to possess. Mr. Work, the com-
piler, is to be commended upon the great amount of in-
formation he has succeeded in compressing into this book,
for it is really remarkable how many questions concern-
ing the Negro it answers. “In its pages one finds in a suc-
cinct form not only the important facts of the history of
the Negro, but also a great mass of detailed information
concerning present conditions and the progress of the race.”
After examining the book we are not surprised to learn
that it is to-day the standard authority on matters per-
taining to the Negro. There are a number of indications
in the book which show that the compiler is acquainted
with our work among the Negroes, and a reader of our
publications. F. J. L.
