The Lutheran Pioneer.

a costly monument, on which an eminent English
sculptor carved a group representing the deathbed
of the aged missionary. The epitaph on the monu-
ment was composed by the royal prince himself and

reads thus: —

Firm wast thou, humble and wise,

Honest, pure, free from disguise,

Father of orphans, the widows’ support,
Comfort in sorrow of every sort:

To the benighted, dispenser of light,

Doing, and pointing to, that which is right;
Blessing to friends, to people, to me.

May I, my father, be worthy of thee,
Wisheth and prayeth thy Sarabojee.

Though these lines may lack the highest poetic
merit, such a Jack is more than compensated by the
affectionate appreciation which breathes in every
line. Surely a wonderful testimony to a Christian
missionary. F.J.L.

His Passion. Short Sermons on the Great Passion of Our

Dear Savior. By J. H. Hartenberger. Silk-cloth
binding. 200 pages. Price, $1.75, Deed Order
from . J. H. Hartenberger, Red Bud, Ill., or from

Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

We are pleased to take notice of this volume of Len-
ten sermons by Pastor Hartenberger. Like his German
sermons, of which several volumes have been published,
these English addresses are clear as to thought, and the
language is simple. These Lenten discourses will appeal
because of their very simplicity, and the tone of hearty
sincerity pervading them. We do not hesitate to say that
this volume, with its reverent and practical treatment of
the Passion Story, will meet with cordial appreciation.

cago, Ill. Very handsome leatherette binding. 185

ig House, St. Louis, Mo.
We are sorry that we did not have the opportunity

_to call the attention of our readers to this handsomely

bound, excellently printed, and, above all, well-written

book # month or two ago. Besides the title story, which
takes up over half of the book, there are four shorter

_ stories and a number of poems in the volume. Professor

Mueller is a good story-teller. His tales are interesting
as to plot, simple as to lan; and thoroughly Chris-

_ tian as to tone. May this book find a ready sale and thus

_ encourage author and publishers to let other numbers of

“The Good-will Series” soon follow. F. J. L.
