The Lutheran Pioneer.

can only repeat with reference to this last volume. Its
every page shows the painstaking care of a thorough and
conscientious scholar. But while bringing the results
of a scholar’s study, this work is written in.a language
so simple and in a style so lucid that any intelligent lay-
man will not find it difficult to read it with profit and
pleasure. What a stream of blessing would be poured out
upon our Church if every pastor and every teacher in
day-school and Sunday-school could own and study these
volumes!

Until June 30, 1924, the publishers offer the four vol-
umes of this Commentary for $16.60, carriage prepaid.
To owners of the first three volumes of the Commentary
this fourth volume is offered at the special price of $4.35,
postpaid.

The Baptism, or Gift, of the Holy Ghost. By P. 2. Kretz-
mann, Ph. D., Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. 19 pages. Price, 12 cts. a copy.

This pamphlet is a reprint of a paper read before the
Western District convention of the Missouri Synod in 1922.
It is brought out in this form in answer to numerous re-
quests from various quarters. Need we say that the paper
deserves a wide circulation because of ‘its subject and be-
cause of its masterful treatment?

The Proof-Texts of the Catechism with a Practical
Commentary. Vol. II. By Louis Wessel, Professor
at Concordia Theological Seminary, Springfield, Ill.
Order from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,
Mo., or Concordia Supply Co., Springfield, Ill. 155
pages. Price, $1.60, plus postage.

Feeling deeply the unique value and significance of
the proof-texts of the Catechism, Prof. Wessel has devoted
himself to their interpretation with an enthusiasm, a pa-
tience, and a spiritual insight which leaves little to be
desired. There is nothing in these expositions that is not
plainly expressed, and every pastor and teacher will find
them a most valuable help in his catechetical prepara-
tion. We have in this practical commentary a lucid and
attractive example of Scripture interpretation and a fresh
and forcible application of Bible-teaching to daily life. All
the proof-texts of the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Chief
Parts are commented on in this second volume. :

We need not urge the possessors of Volume I to pro-
cure Volume II, since the first volume, no doubt, has been
so helpful to them that they will not want to be without
the second volume; but it may be a good thing to tell the
owners of Volume I to order this second part soon, since
the edition is limited. Those who are not the happy pos-
sessors of the first part of this Practical Commentary
should by all means order the whole work if they possibly
can. Volume I costs $2.00.

Cantate! A Song Service in Commemoration of the Quadri-
centennial of the First Lutheran Hymnal, 1524—1924.
Chorales with English and German text. Arranged
by P.E.E. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,
Mo. Music edition, 30 pages, 20 cts. a copy; special
discount on quantity orders. Word edition, 30 cts.
per dozen; 100, $2.25.

The publication of the first Protestant hymn-book is
an event of enough importance to be celebrated through-
out our Church. This Service desires to render assistance
where special anniversary services are contemplated. This
Service is of decided merit and deserves to be widely used
in our churches. F. J. L.
