BOOK TABLE.

Martin Luther. His Life and His Labor for the Plain
People by William Dalimann. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. 292 pages; printed on good
paper, and bound in silk-finished cloth. Price, $1.25.

Written in the author’s usual popular style, and em-
bellished with no less than 143 illustrations, many of them
quite rare, this book is bound to prove one of the best-sell-
ing biographies of Luther on the market. Every family
having members who prefer English to"German should put

a copy of this book on its home book-shelf.

Lutheran Hymnal and Prayer Book for the Boys
under the Flag. Concordia Publishing House, St.
Louis, Mo. Vest-pocket size; 89 pages. Price, 15 cts.

A copy of this neatly bound hymnal and prayer-book
has been presented to every one of the boys coming from
our congregations, and now serving under his country’s
flag, by the Walther League. The selection of the 51 hymns,

14 prayers, and 11 psalms could not be better. We believe

that the book will in every way serve its purpose in an

eminent degree, and will, by the grace of our heavenly Fa-
ther, prove a blessing to many young hearts.

auf das Jahr 1918. Concordia Publishing House,

We need only call attention to this old household friend
of every German-speaking Missouri Synod family, and tell
of its appearance; this alone is ‘sufficient to induce its
ready sale.

Luther the Liberator. An Address by William Dall-
mann. Northwestern Publishing House, Milwaukee,
Wis. Price, 5 cts. per copy; 50 cts. per dozen; $3.50
per hundred. !

This address by Rey. Dallmann was delivered by him
in many parts of the United States in commemoration of
the Quadricentennial of the Reformation, and is now pub-
lished by resolution of the pastoral conference of which
the author is a member. What makes this address par-
ticularly valuable are the many extracts from opinions
on Luther and his work from other than Lutheran writers.

‘“Irret euch nicht; Gott laesst sich nicht spotten!”’
Predigt bei der 400jaehrigen Jubelfeier der Reforma-
tion, gehalten yon Prof. Aug. Pieper. Northwestern
Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis. Price, 10 cts.
per copy; 75 cts. per dozen; $5.00 per hundred.

We find this a somewhat extraordinary text for a ju-
bilee sermon, and the sermon itself is equally unusual.

There can be absolutely no doubt that the truths which

the venerable ‘preacher so earnestly presents in this dis-

course should be proclaimed from the very housetops, but
we do not think that a jubilee service is the appropriate
time for the presentation of these somber facts and truths.

In our humble opinion a jubilee sermon should above all

things magnify the blessings of God, and not dwell so ex-

tensively on the shameful ingratitude and unfaithfulness
of man.
