Book of Concord. The Symbols of the Ey. Lutheran
Church. With Indexes and Historical Introductions.
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Cloth
binding; 610 pages. Price, $3.50, postpaid.

How large an edition of this book the publishers have
put on the market we do not know, but it would seem
to us that it should be quite large, since the demand for
this publication is bound to be strong, particularly on the
part of our pastors and teachers. The “Historical Intro-
ductions” comprise without a doubt one of the most note-
worthy historical compositions issued from a Lutheran
press for years, and the new English rendering of the text
of our Church’s symbolical writings as here presented is
a finished example of the translator's art.

By L. H. Becker. Con-

The Destruction of Jerusalem.
Cloth; 71

cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
pages. Price, 55 cts.
This booklet brings a revision of Dean Milman’s His-
. tory of the Destruction of Jerusalem, which is drawn from
Josephus. The editor did his work with tact and good
judgment, and the result is a’ book that is well worth
reading.

Statistical Year-Book of the Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri,
Ohio, and Other States for the Year 1923. Concor-
dia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 217 pages.
Price, $1.00, net.

Here is indeed an immense amount of valuable informa-

, tion, given in a remarkably small space. Whoever wishes
to be informed as to the work-done by the Missouri Synod
must possess this book. The Missouri Synod must be con-
gratulated upon having so painstaking and efficient a stat-
istician as Rev. E, Eckhardt, the compiler of the Ycar-Book.

Home Department Questions on Primary Leaflets.
Nos. 17—24. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,

Mo. Price, 5 cts. per set of eight lessons.

In calling attention to these questions, we wish again
to say that all pastors having families in their parishes
whose children cannot be served by the regular parish- or
Sunday-school should by all means give these Home De-
partment Questions a trial.

The Colored Lutheran. A Witness in the Black Belt for
the Truth. Published monthly. Order from Rev.
G. A. Schmidt, Box 683, Selma, Ala. Price, 50 cts.
@ year.

We gladly call the attention of our readers to this well-
edited periodical, which is being published in the interest
of our Colored Lutheran congregations. It is the church-
paper of our Colored Lutheran members and has a circula-
tion of almost 100 per cent. among them. Unlike our white
Lutherans there is probably not a literate family connected
with, our mission in which the Colored Lutheran is not
read. However, to put the publication on a good financial
basis, it needs still more subscribers. Are there none
among our readers who have a desire to subscribe?

Weisungen und Warnungen aus den Spruechen Salo-
monis. Dargeboten von Dr. 0. M. Zorn. ° Johannes
Herrmann, Zwickau, Sachsen,Germany. Board covers;
187 pages. Price, 60 cts. :

Though the reviewer has been able to take only a few
dips into this book, yet these few dips were sufficient to
convince him that here is indeed a volume which is full
of very wise directions and most loving warnings for old
and young. May this latest publication of the venerable

Writer find many readers, and may all its readers follow

its wise counsel.
