path, while only 18 per cent. had been impressed
by the good character and exemplary life of
Christians.

Of the remaining 8 per cent. some became first
interested in the new religion because they noticed
that Christians were more prosperous. One man
said that he had gone years ago out of mere
curiosity to see a Christian missionary who had
been described to him as “a red-headed barbarian,”
and that the preacher had then and there “captured
him for good.” Another man answered the question
by saying that he had lost all confidence in the
heathen religion because the pig which he had been
fattening for the heathen god died! F.J.L.

fuer deutsche Lutheraner auf das Jahr 1924. Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Each 116
pages. Price, each 15 cts.

One of these annuals should be in every family of the
Missouri Synod. We see that these annuals have increased
from 108 pages in 1923 to 116 pages in 1924. Among other
improvements we notice the addition of a list of pastors
doing pastoral work among our students at higher insti-
tutions and an index.

A tastefully made-up booklet with chromolithographed
colors, which has the purpose of bearing the Christmas-
message into our homes. May it take the place of the
silly Santa Claus rhymes that have found such great sales
in the past! :

This book of fifty-one short, easy lessons on the Cate

as well as the pastor in preparing children and adults for
confirmation, will find the book of very great value.

When we announced the publication of the German.

original of this treatise, we expressed the wish to sce it
printed in English. This our wish has been gratified, and
we hasten to apprise our readers of the fact. May the
pamphlet find many readers in its English translation!

In these four volumes the publisher, Johannes Herr-
mann, Zwickau, Saxony, Germany, has given to the Amer-
ican public in a very good English translation a number
of Margarete Lenk’s classic juveniles. The traslator, Louis
P. Lochner, has been happy in reproducing the spirit of
the German originals in the language of our country. We
hope that many of our Sunday-schools will present their
pupils with copies of these fine examples of Christian ju-
venile literature.

An earnest admonition based on 2 Tim. 4, 1—5. While
addressed, first of all, to the public servants of the Word,
these words of loving caution and warning by the vener-
able writer may be read with great profit also by our
laymen. May this pamphlet find many careful readers
among our pastors and their members! F.J.

An Appeal from Alabama.

Superintendent G. A. Schmidt wrote the Editor that
the crops in Alabama have been almost a total failure,
and that in consequence the need and distress among our
Colored people will be very great this winter. He asks
that our good people send him for distribution their cast-
off, but still usable old clothing. Address: Rev. G. A.
Schmidt, Box 683, Selma, Ala.

Notice.

We again desire to call the attention of all the friends
of our Colored Missions to the three fine illustrated lec-
tures which so graphically picture our three most im-
portant ficlds. (Cspecerations should not fail to take
advantage of the opportunity offered by these lectures
to become mequiaintad with our Mission. For particu-
lars write to Rev. Theo. F. Walther, 6402 Easton Ave.,
