bring particulars of this meeting in our next number.
The Superintendent of Schools for Alabama writes
that no Jess than 17 teachers will be engaged for the
coming year, and that a total enrolment of about
1,000 pupils is expected. At present our people are
working at 10 stations. What untold blessings by
God's grace will flow from these schools into hun-
dreds of homes and inio thousands of hearis!

Their Deep Poverty Abounded.

Fresh proof of the generosity and self-sacrifice
of Christians in the mission-lands comes from Sirur,
a station of the Marathi Mission in India, which,
like other places in that field, has recently emerged
from an epidemic of plague. The Church of that
center has assumed a budget which, in addition to
support of pastor, extensive repairs on church-
building, and contributions to the National Mis-
sionary Society and to the Bible Society, provides
aid for three of the weaker churches in the district.
All of the churches in the district are now made
independent of help from mission-funds, and money
heretofore used toward their support is set free
to open up work in new villages. For the Sirur
Chureh the raising of this budget means giving
to the sharp point of sacrifice. For all must give
out of their poverty. very worker has promised
a full tenth of his salary, and that will come pretty
hard on men who receive but from four to five dol-
lars a month upon which to support.a family. This
Church will spend more on missions, that is for

others, than on its own local expenses. That is

not a common occurrence in this free-handed
Amierica. — Aissionary Herald.

No man has money enough and no man can give
money enough to excuse him from personal Chris-
tian service. :

BOOK TABLE.

Church and School in the American Law. By Carl
Zollmann. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,

Mo. Paper-cover; 35 pages. Price, 25 cts.
The size of this phlet is no indication of its value.

It is one of those’ few publications of which we can say

that they are worth their weight in gold. Like the au-
thor’s American Civil Church Law, this monograph on

_ the legal status of the parish-school will soon occupy an

place in the library of every constitutional law-

_ yer of the country.

medium voice. Words and music by Herm. M. Haha.
Published by Herm. M. Hahn, 2852 Broadway, Fort
Wayne, Ind. Price, 25 ets., net. Order from Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

Here is a composition that is bound to meet with in-
stantaneous and rapid success with people possessing a de-
cent taste in music. Both words and music, we are cer-
tain, will appeal to our people. Our Boys, we are told,
has been successfully sung by Ernest Moeller, the leading
baritone with the American Grand Opera Company. May
all the singers among our readers take a try at this fine
musical composition!
