The Lutheran Pioneer.

BOOK TABLE.

DER REFORMATOR, Yin Lebensbild D. Martin Luthers.
Unserer lutherischen Jugend als Jubilacumsgabe dar-
geboten von IW. Wegener, Lehrer an der Evy,-Luth.
Immanuelsschule zu St. Charles, Mo. Concordia Pub-
lishing: House, St. Louis, Mo. 112 pages; strongly
and tastily bound. Price, 33 ets.

This book has been put on the market because the
publishers are of the opinion that Just’s Life of Luther
in the original German is too difficult for many of our
schoolchildren, since German is spoken less and less by
our boys and girls of school age. The language in this
book is simpler and therefore easier of comprehension
for our American scholars. Besides its simplicity of lan-
guage, two other things in the book appeal to us: Every
chapter in the book has a Seripture-text at the head for
a motto, and these texts are well chosen; and every chap-
ter has a fine summary of its contents given at the end.
The summaries the teacher will find especially valuable
in the classroom. The book is richly illustrated.

THE CASE AGAINST THE LODGH, with Special Ref-
erence to the Woodmen of the World. By Benjamin
Molt. Concordia Publishing Iouse, St. Louis, Mo.
72 pages. Price, 22 cts.

Some time ago Mr. Holt published a pamphlet against
the Masonic Order, of which he had been a member for a
number of years. This pamphlet was very .widely read.
We regard Mr. Holt’s new pamphlet as being of “even
greater excellence in some respects than his former trea-
tise. While he takes special cognizance of the Woodmen
of the World in this booklet, we believe that he makes
out a clear case against all lodges. What a grand thing
it would be if a copy of this book could be placed in the
hands: of every one of our young men, and if they could
all be prevailed upon to give it a careful perusal. We
feel certain that every unprejudiced reader of the booklet
must become convinced of the sinfulness of lodgism.

Prof. Heinze’s paper in the report of the Atlantic Dis-
trict bears the. title; “The Blessed Influence of the Refor-
mation on Edueation.” The very title of this paper
should recommend its careful reading to every pastor and
teacher.— Dr. Pieper’s essay on “The Reconciliation of

Man with God” in the minutes of the Southern Illinois .

District deserves to be read ‘by every Christian., It is a
inasterly presentation of one of the Bible’s vital doctrines.
—The report of the Western District brings a historical
paper by Dr. Krauss on “Luther and Carlstadt.” The
essayist has admirably succeeded in giving a clear pic-
ture of an important phase of the Reformation.

Concordia Publishing House intends to put out three
programs for children’s Reformation services. This pro-
gram is for an all-German service. An all-English ser-
vice will appear in the near future, and an English-Ger-
man program will be on the market by the end of June.

_ Of course, every Lutheran church is going to have a spe-
cial children’s service in commemoration of the Reforma-
tion in this Year of Jubilee, and such being the case, pas-
tors ae teachers will do well to keep these three programs
in mind.

TRACTS, Published by the American Lutheran

ode
In our last issue we called the attention of our readers
to a number of tracts published by the American Lutheran

Publicity Bureau for general distribution. We are pleased

to add five more titles to those mentioned a month ago.

They are: The Formation, Deformation, and Reformation

of the Church, by Paul Lindemann; 60 cts. per 100. Jus-

tification by Faith Alone, by Prof. L. Wessel; 35 cts. per

100. -What Is the Business of the Church? by John H. C.

Fritz; 35 cts. per 100. The 95 Theses; 60 cts. per 100.

The Character of Luther, by Prof. W. H. T. Dau; 60 cts.

per 100. We can only repeat what we said last time,

namely, that every congregation should keep a supply of
these tracts on hand, and distribute them on every pos-
sible occasion — mission-festivals, dedications, and special

services in general, F. J. L.
