of Mount Zion. — Rev. McDavid is again troubled
with nervousness, and Director Drewes has granted
him a brief vacation. :

Anniversary. — In a special anniversary num-
ber the Lutheran Hospice and City Mission Bulletin
of Buffalo calls attention to the fact that the City
Mission in Buffalo has been carried on by our
brethren for-twenty years. ‘The City Missionary
and his assistant have been visiting regularly in
fifteen public institutions of the city and have had
interviews with thousands of persons every year.
The statistics given show that it is indeed a won-
derful work that is being done by our city mission-
aries and that this blessed work should be prosecuted
in many more cities of our country. F. J. 1.

BOOK TABLE.

Synodical Reports of Missouri Synod for 1921. Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. No. 9. Ver-
handlungen der 10. Versammlung des Atlantischen
Distrikts. 4S pages. Price, 23 ets. — No. 10. Pro-
ccedings of the 27th Convention of the Southern Dis-
trict. 16 pages. Price, 8 ets. — No. 11. Proceedings
of the First Convention of the Colorado District.
G4 pages. Price, 30 ects. — No. 12. Verhandlungen
der 49. Jahresversammling des Oestlichen Distrikts.
72 pages. Price, 33 ets.

The report of the Atlantic District brings a fine Ger-
man paper on “Infant Baptism.” ‘The report of the
Southern District is wholly English; besides the presi-
dent’s address and report, it brings only the business
transactions, probably because it was felt that a short
synopsis of the doctrinal paper on “The Office of a Bishop,”
from the pen of the sainted Pastor Reinhardt, would not
do justice to the essay. The minutes of the Colorado
District contain an instructive paper on “The Saving
Grace of God.” This paper is given in German, but the
business transactions are reported in English. The Eastern
District report has a German essay hearing the title, “Der
Hausgottesdienst.”

To Our Congregations Using the Envelope System.

. Sunday, July 9, 1922, is the day set apart for observ-
ing the fiftieth anniversary of the Evangelical Lutheran
Synodical Conference of North America. On this festive

occasion we wish to thank God for the great blessings be-
stowed upon us through this religious organization, to
thank Him also with our hands. The jubilee offering is
to be used for improving the colleges at which our Colored
pastors and teachers are trained, and for the erection of
chapels and schools in our Negro Missions. All our con-
gregations which use the envelope system are requested
to insert an envelope for the jubilee offering, Sunday,
July 9, 1922.
In the name of the Board for Colored Missions,
