and being a reader and well-wisher of the Colared Mis-
sions, you should be interested, — get to work and gain
new subscribers. You can easily, for the small price of
25 cents each, gain ‘four new subscriptions. Send on the
names, together with a postal money order or bank draft
for $1.00, to Concordia Publishing House, and they will
gladly enter the new subscriptions, and send you for your
trouble the premium you may select. Please note, how-
ever, that the subscription price in St. Louis and in for-
eign countries is 35 cents per copy, instead of 25 cents.

Of course; if you send two groups of four, that is to
ay, eight names, you are entitled to two premiums. The
only additional condition which our publishers make is,
that, when you are sending premium subscriptions, your
own subscription must be paid, and that none of the pre-
mium subscriptions you send in are renewals.

BOOK TABLE.

Little Folded Hands. Prayers for Children. Compiled
by Louis Birk. Concordia Publishing House, St.
Louis, Mo. Price: Single copies, 15 cis.; per dozen,
$1.50; per hundred, $10.00. Carriage extra.

In taking notice of this fine little book, we can do no
better than quote what the publishers say about it: “This
book of simple prayers, filling a long-felt want, has been
compiled by one of our pastors. There are 48 pages, con-
taining prayers for Morning, Evening, Table, During Sick-
ness, On Birthday, For School and Church, Christmas, and
General Prayers. It is handsomely gotten up in litho-
graphed covers, and appropriately illustrated with draw-
ings.” Every English-speaking home among us, with young
children in it, should have a copy of this hook.

Margery Lovell. Concordia Publishing House, St. Lotis,
Mo. Neatly bound in red cloth; 105 pages. Price,
45 cts., postpaid.

This soul-stirring story takes the reader back into the
Dark Ages, about one hundred years before the Reforma-
tion. It is the story of a noble woman’s confession of the
Gospel, and her subsequent martyrdom at the hand of
Rome’s minions. What a pity that books such as the one
offered here are not more frequently read by our young
people! Instead of devouring the trash which comes from
the press in such huge quantities, our young people should
tum to readable and instructive books like this. Our
yours folks often think that an instructive book cannot
be interesting, but the reading of this story will show
them their great mistake, for the unspoiled mind will not
easily find a book more interesting than Margery Lovell.

Against Odds. By K. Elizabeth Sihler. Concordia Pub-
~ lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Bound in silk-finished
slits 150 pages; illustrated. Price, 60 cts., post-

id.

The writer tells of her experiences while taking up and
proving up a land claim in the West. Her experiences
were quite interesting, and she tells of them in an inter-
esting way. Even boys in the “cub”-stage will find the
book interesting. The reviewer has a boy of that age, and
to see whether 2 woman can write so as to interest 1 boy
in that stage of development, he gave the book to him and
asked him to read it. The boy read it through in one
day. — The reading of the oe will Tore oo fine pons for

The Lord’s tae EG by H. M. Hahn. Concordia
Publish: » St. Louis, Mo. Full music size;

‘2 pages. ° Price, 40 cts., postpaid.
~~ A inmost acceptable composition, emanating from the
of one of our veteran composers. The melody is based

7 upon an old tune, but the aS is original. The music
is very simple, and the pitch is sufficiently low to bring’ it

Ve

within the range of the average schoolboy or -girl. It is

a composition well adapted for use at the close of the daily

eee of our Christian day-schools. Text in English and
erman.

War and Christianity. By Prof. 7h. Gracbner, Concor-
dia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo. Published by the Amer-
ican Lutheran Publicity Bureau, 234 62d St., New?
York City. Price, 35 cts. per hundred.

A timely Scriptural tract, worthy of deepest study,
withal so simply written that it can be profitably read

by any person of ordinary mental capacity. Z

Saengerbote. A Lyrical Quarterly. Success Printing Co.,
St. Louis, Mo. Price, 25 cts. per copy.

It is with a sad heart that we take notice of the last
number of this periodical. During the five years of its
existence it did much good, and the greater is the pity
that lack of support compels the publishers to cease its
publication. As it is, the publishers have been at a con-
siderable financial loss. In consideration of its short life
one feels impelled to apply to the Saengerbote the word,
“The good die young!” F.J.L.
