of years, while others have only recently entered
upon this phase of missionary endeavor. ‘The Cen-
tral District of the Missouri Synod is working with
fine success in the public institutions of Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Columbus, and Indianapolis and is by
this means bringing the Gospel to no less than
15,000 persons. The Inner Mission Society of the
San Francisco Bay district is reaching 8,000 per-
sons. From other centers of missionary endeavor
along these lines the reports are equally encourag-
ing, plainly showing that it is the Lord’s earnest
will that we should look for lost souls in the streets
and lanes of the cities and not forget those who,
like poor Lazarus, are dependent upon the charity
of others.

Nxcro Scnoous 1N THE Souriu.— The prin-
cipal of a mission-school in the South writes this
concerning the public schools found there: “It is
notorious that schools for Negroes in these parts
are a mere farce; a Colored girl or man willing to
work for $20 per month is appointed to teach (? )
school four or five months, beginning in January
or February; an old building or church is secured,
and the farce begins.” This same writer claims
that he knows of a county where no school for
Negroes of any sort was carried on during the en-
tire year by the authorities! F. J. L.

BOOK TABLE. :

Christliche Dogmatik. Von Dr. F. Pieper. Erster Band.
Concordia Publishing House, St.Louis, Mo. 690 pages.
Bound in durable cloth. Price, $5.00.

With the appearance of this volume Dr. Pieper’s Dog- -

matics lies complete before us. In giving us this monu-
mental work on Christian Dogmatics in three volumes, the
author has made us all his debtors. Clear thought, lucid
presentation, and simple Janguage made use of in setting
forth the everlasting truths of God are the outstanding
characteristics of this volume as of the two that have pre-
ceded it. Only to few is it given to see the truth with
such clear vision. His exposition leads us in the most
wonderful way to the very center of Christian truth. No
aspect of Christian doctrine seems to be left out of view,
and every page brings the rich fruits of a rare, if not
unique, scholarship in the service of an unwearying thought.
May many of us profit by the study of the three volumes
of Dr. Pieper’s Christliche Dogmatik!

From Advent to Advent. Sermons on Free Texts. By
Rev. L. Buchheimer. Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. 354 pages. Handsome cloth binding.
Price, $2.50. anaes
This volume of sermons ought to receive a cordial re-
ception. I should feel no hesitancy in saying that they
are models of their kind —wise, reverent, no less imag-
inative than practical, and, above all, truly Biblical. They
abound in illustrations, and possess distinct literary merit.
The author’s exegesis is fresh and vigorous, his teachings
truly Christian, and his applications practical and timely.
Surely, these addresses deserve to find careful students far
beyond the limits of those to whom they were originally

addressed.

The Twins. By Marg. Lenk. Johannes Herrmann, Pub-
lisher, Zwickau, Saxony, Germany. Order from Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 193 pages.
Bound in cloth. Price, 70 ets.

We have here another of Mrs. Lenk’s touching stories
translated into English. What a blessing for our youth
it would be if more fiction of this wholesome kind were
to be found in our homes! May the demand for these
juveniles encourage the publisher to put out more!

Hospice Directory. Published by the Walther League,
6438 Eggleston Ave., Chicago, Ill.

This booklet, which may be had for the asking, gives
the addresses of all active hospice workers of the Walther
League. Every pastor should have this booklet within
reach, so that when any of his young members go to an-
other city, he may direct them to the hospice secretary
of that city, and inform the hospice sceretary of the mi-
grant’s new address. By enlisting the services of the Wal-
ther League in this way, we shall be helping them in do-
ing a very necessary mission-work, and we shall do our
part towards preventing our young people from losing
their contact with the Church. ¥F.J.L.
