Price, 80 cts. Order from Concordia Publishing House,

St. Louis, Mo.
We should like to see a copy of this book in every
ublic school, high school, and college library in the land.
No one who reads this little book can fail to be struck
by the courage, the keen logic, and the lucid style of this
fascinating treatment of a subject which should be of great
interest to all of us who have the spiritual welfare of our
people at heart. Not only our young men and women at-
tending higher institutions are in danger of becoming poi-
soned by the false theories of evolution, but every reader
of the Sunday papers andthe magazines is exposed to
danger. Professor Gracbner here now supplies an excel-
lent antidote by his critical examination of evolutionary
theories, which he proves to be “science falsely so called.”

Freemasonry and True Lutheranism. — Freimaurer-
tum und echtes Luthertum. Both by Rev. Ph.
Wambsganss, Fort Wayne, Ind. Order from the
author. Price, 10 cts. per dozen; 35 cts. per 50;
50 cts. per 100.

In this tract Pastor Wambsganss brings extracts from
an article which appeared in The New Age Magazine, the
official organ of the Supreme Council, 32d degree, A & A
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, S. J., U. S. A. The article

- is by Denman S. Wagstaff, 32 K. C. C. H. In this article

Bible Christians are referred to as “church-ridden” people,

and the author prays that “they may come to know that

the God of the Parsee (a fire-worshiper), the God of Mo-
hammed, the God.of the Indian and the African, the God
of all gods, is He who is one and the same to all men.”

How to Join the Lutheran Church. By Herbert C.
Claus. Order from the author, 37254 Sullivan Ave.,
St. Louis, Mo. Price, 15 cts. per dozen; 85 cts.
per 100.

This fine tract is from the pen of one of our mission-
aries. All en, 2 A in working up adult catechumen classes,
and that includes most of our pastors, will find this tract

serviceable in removing prejudices against our Church
and dispelling peculiar notions which exist with respect
to psig membership in our Church.

Thirty Short Preludes to the Most Familiar of the
English Gospel-Hymns for the Organ. By Ir.
Reuter, 126 Washington St., New Ulm, Minn. Price,
$1.75. Order from the author or from Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

Those who are acquainted with Professor Reuter’s ear-
lier o compositions, particularly with his first series
of Preludes for English Gospel-hymns, will be pleased to
hear of the publication of this second series. We had
a friend to ney us a number of these preludes, and feel
constrained to say that the organist who is looking for
real preludes to our English hymns should not fail to
procure a copy of this book. While not easy, the com-
positions are not really difficult; without exception they
are thoroughly churchly in character, and actually are
introductions to the hymns. ey heagp Goren we found
the preludes to “Silent Might,’ “O Sanctissima,” “Go to
Dark Gethsemane,” and “Holy Spirit, Hear Us.”
