BOOK TABLE.

Synodical Reports of Missouri Synod for 1921. Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. No. 15:
Verhandlungen der elften Jahresversammlung des
South Dakota-Distrikts. 63 pages. Price, 30 cts. —
No. 16: Proceedings of the Ninth Convention of the
Central Illinois District. 67 pages. Price, 34 cts.

No. 15 brings a paper on the Mormons by Pastor F. W.

Loose (German), in which the history, organization, and
doctrinal position of this unchristian religious body is
tersely stated. The report of the District’s Home Mis-
sion Board makes interesting reading. — No.16 has two
doctrinal papers; the German essay is on Article VII of
the Augsburg Confession, while the English paper treats
the Eighth Article of the same symbol. The English pa-
per has been abridged considerably. The business pro-
ceedings are reported extensively in German and briefly
in English.

Lasset die Kindlein zu mir kommen! By Rev. C. M.
Zorn, D. D. Published by Johannes Herrmann in
Zwickau, Germany. May be ordered from Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 528 pages. Sub-
stantial cloth-binding. Price, $2.00.

The venerable author, in his inimitable way, here
brings the contents of the four gospels in 298 short chap-
ters, to be read at the family altar. In writing these
chapters, the author’s special desire always was not to
use any terms and expressions that would go beyond the
comprehension of a child. We feel that Dr. Zorn has ad-
mirably succeeded in producing a book of devotion adapted
to the child’s mind, and hope that some one may be found
to do for our English-speaking children what the Doctor
has done in this book for the children that are able to
understand German. Every chapter concludes with a short,
simple prayer and averse. May the reading of these chap-
ters help to bring many a child nearer to Jesus, the chil-
dren’s Friend!

Lichter der Heimat. By Fr. Gillhoff. Illustrated by
R. Schacfer and O. Rothe. Bound in artistic boards
and cloth back; gilt edge. Same publisher as above,
and may be ordered as above. Price, $1.00.

The contents of this mechanically so tasteful book of
178 pages are more than worthy of the outward dress.
As we read these poems so full of Christian sentiment,
and so pure and choice in expression, we more than once
pitied those who will be unable to enjoy the chaste beauty
of these poetic pearls. We are sure that many a reader
of these poems will be sincerely grateful to poet and pub-
lisher for having: put out this collection of carefully fin-
ished poems, which all breathe a healthy Christian feeling.

Missionary Sermons. Collected and edited by Rev. L. H.
Schuh, Ph. D. Lutheran Book Concern, Colum-
bus,O. 549 pages; substantial cloth-binding. Price,
$2.50. Order from Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. ,

This book brings a wealth of material for missionary
addresses to the busy pastor. There are twenty-six ser-
mons on “Missions in General,” nine on “Home Missions,”
fourteen on “Foreign Missions,” six on “Inner Missions,”
three on “Negro Missions,” and four on “Jewish Missions.”
In one of the sermons a very sympathetic outline of our
Negro Missions is given. While not able to read all the
discourses, we found those wliich we did read fine exam-
ples of missionary discourses — instructive, edifying, con-
vincing, and persuasive. F. J. L.

A Call for Help.

- Pastor C. P. Thompson writes the Editor that he needs
an organ in Plaquemine. Some friend promised us to send
an organ to Plaquemine months ago, but it seems that he
forgot about his promise or changed his mind. Who can
help? Address: Mr. John Thompson, Box 503, Plaque-
mine, La. John Thompson is the teacher of the Plaque-
mine Mission School and a brother of Pastor Thompson,
and the Editor knows that this teacher’s fingers are itch-
ing to play an organ. Who will help?
