BOOK TABLE.

Amerikanisches Luthertum-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
bound in cloth. Price, 75 cts.

Some time ago Prof. Bente published a book in which
he showed what stood in the way of a union of the various
Lutheran synods of our country. The above-named book,
bearing the title, American Lutheranism, may be fitly
called an introduction to the first published monograph.
The chapter-headings of the new book are: I. The Lost
Swedes and Salzburgers; II. Dutch and German Lu-
therans in New York; III. Lutherans in Pennsylvania;
IV. Lutherans in the Southern States; V. The Tennessee

“ Synod. All that have an interest in the carly develop-

ment of the Lutheran Church in America will find this

book most interesting reading. We found the chapter
treating of the Tennessee Synod especially interesting.

Synodical Reports of Missouri Synod. No. 3: Michi-
gan-Distrikt. No.4: South Dakota-Distrikt, Fach
96 pages. Price, each 24 cts. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo.

The former report has a fine address on the purpose
of the Church, and a very lucid doctrinal essay on “The
Way of Salvation.” The latter report brings a splendid
paper on Eddyism, misnamed Christian Science. We deem
both these reports of more than ordinary value and in-
terest.

Latest publications of the American Lutheran Publicity
Bureau, 234 E. 62d St., New York City.

We have received from the Bureau two fine tracts.
One is on Prayer, and the other, bearing the title, The
Great Physician, is especially intended for soldier boys
that are in hospitals. Kither tract may be had for 35 cts.
per hundred. The Bureau has also gotten out a large
sheet, containing Sermon Helps for Patriotic Exercises,
Reformation Services, and the like. This large sheet may
be had at the price of only five cents per copy. Here are
some of the headings found on the sheet: “The Lutheran
Chureh in America, and: What It Stands For.” “What
Contribution has the Lutheran Church Made to Liberty?”
“God’s War-time Call.” - “Our War-time Duty.” “The
Influence of Lutheranism on the Principles of Govern-
ment.” “The Opportunities of a Free Church in a Free
Land.” “Dedication of a Service Flag.” “Unfurling of
U. S. Flag.” ~

‘ Our Boys. Arranged for mixed voices and also for male
es quartet. Words and music by Herm. Hahn. Concor-
dia Publishing”House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 10 cts.
We called attention to this fine musical composition
“arranged as a solo in a recent issue. Its popularity as
a composition for a single voice will eae to sell it in the

new arrangement.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR OUR MISSION-
WORKERS.

The regular monthly meetings of the Colored Mission
Board will in future be held in the afternoon of the fourth
Thursday of every month. All the mission-workers will
kindly take notice of this change and be guided thereby.

Boarp oF Cororep MISSIONS,

OUR FUNDS WILL NOT HOLD OUT,

unless something soon happens. During the first nine -
months of last year the receipts were $46,273, but in this
+ for the same period of time, the receipts only total
5 5 3y a simple operation of subtraction you will
find that that is a decrease of no less than $8,680 in nine
months. And all this time the expenses are growing.
The Board is paying out $450 more every month in the
way of salaries than it did last year, and the increase in
salaries ought to be still more. ‘The small increase in sal-
ary given the laborers is by no means in proportion to the
increase in the cost of living. But even the meager sala-
ries of the workers cannot be paid out by the Treasurer
of the Board if our people do not remember their Colored
Mission Treasury more liberally.
