FOUR HUNDRED YEARS. Commemorative Essays on
the Reformation. Edited by Prof. W. H. T. Dau.
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. VIII

and 320 pages. Bound in silk cloth; stained edges; -

cover design in gilt. Price, $1.10, postpaid. Liberal
discount to agents and canvassers. ,

This is a sister volume of Unser Erbteil (Our Herit-
age). It brings twenty-six essays, written by an equal
number of representative men of the Missouri Synod on
various assigned subjects referring to the Reformation.
Because of the large number of contributors we have
a pleasing variety of style, and the various phases of the
Reformation are presented from many different angles.
The book is worthy of a large sale and a careful reading.
Many of the essays show a high literary finish and were
written out of mature thought, after careful research.
A copy of Four Hundred Years or Unser Erbteil should
be found in every Lutheran family, and in families where
German and English are read a copy of each should be
procured.

, Christ is the subject of the doctrinal papers in the

first two reports. No.3 brings an excellent paper by Rev.

H. Harms on “The Prophetical Office of Christ,” while

No. 3a contains a most timely and interesting discussion
by Prof. W. H. T. Dau on “Luther’s Christ.” Both re-
ports bring the usual matter on Home Missions. No. 3,
however, has also a statistical report of the various con-
gregations comprising the Northern Illinois District, in-
cluding the moneys raised in each parish for home use
and extracongregational purposes. We hope that eventu-
ally every District of the Missouri Synod will publish
these statistics with its synodical report.— Report No. 4
brings a paper by Rev. J. Hoeness on “The Holy Ghost
and His Work.” — Report No. 4a contains the continua-

tion of a paper begun last year, bearing the title, “Jesus .

Christ, Our Savior, according to John 1.” In discussing
John 1, 19—51, the essayist, Rev. W. J. Janssen, very
interestingly treats of missions under the subheads: The
Missionary Worker; The Missionary.Message; The Mis-
sionary Method.

DAS GESETZ. Kine fuer Theologen und Nichttheologen
gegebene Antwort auf die Frage: Was sagt das
Neue Testament vom “Gesetz”? Von Carl Manthey-
Zorn. Northwestern Publishing House, Milwaukee,
Wis. Bound in black cloth. 207 pages. Price per
copy, $1.00; per dozen, $9.60.

It always affords us great pleasure to announce a new

book from the work-shop of Rev. Zorn, and we feel certain
that many of our readers are just as much pleased to read
the announcement. This new book by the venerable writer
answers the questions: What does the New Testament
say of the “Law”? -No less than 179 passages are exam-
ined to bring out a full answer to this important question.
This volume on “The Law” is to be followed by one bear-
ing the title, “Das Evangelium” (The Gospel). As in
all his books, Rev. Zorn is very interesting in the treat-

ment of his subject, stimulating in thought, powerful in

- argument, and rich in illustration. .
