THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

BOOK TABLE.
Men and Missions. Edited by L. Fuerbringer. Vol.1:
John Eliot, the Apostle to the Indians. _ By W. G.

Polack. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
4S pages. Price, 20 cts.

In a very interesting manner and in chaste, simple
language Pastor Polack gives us the outstanding events
in the life of John Eliot, the Puritan preacher, who had
the courage, in the face of much prejudice, to show in
a practical way his conviction that the natives of our
country were also to be counted among the poor sinners
whom Jesus has redeemed with His holy, precious blood.
We’ hope the succeeding numbers of this series will be the
equals of this initial issue in literary excellence and in-
terest, so that the publishers may be encouraged to put out
the whole series upon completion in permanent form.

Search the Scriptures! A Series of Graded Bible Les-
son Outlines for the Use of Bible Classes. Issued
by authority of the General Sunday-school Board
of the Missouri Synod. I. The Life of Jesus the
Savior. From the Introduction to the Story of His
Life to His Transfiguration. II. The Life of Jesus the
Savior. From Christ’s Second Foretelling of His
Passion to His Ascension. III. The Establishment
and the Propagation of the Christian Church. By
Prof. Paul BE. Kretzmann, Ph. D., D. D. Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Each 32 pages.
Price, 15 cts. each.

We have here the first three numbers of an cight-
volume series of outlines. The remaining numbers of the
series will probably be put on the market in the course
of this year. Leaders of Bible classes will find these
outlines very useful and practical. Each outline first
gives an analysis of the text to be studied, then calls
attention to the main difficulties of the passage, and this
is followed by special topics that suggest further study
and a summary of the chief lessons taught by the text.
May every teacher of a Bible class among us provide him-
self with the numbers of this valuable help!

In twenty-three meditations on the first five chapters
of the Bible the venerable author brings convincing proof
that Christ and all the essentials of His Gospel are plainly
revealed in this small fragment of Old Testament writings.
May this happy English version find many readers! We
po the translator in his wish that the testimony of

ir. Zorn may strengthen all who read this book in the
conviction that the Scriptures are the inerrant Word of God.

This new cantata will prove itself, both from the lit-
erary and the musical standpoint, the peer of the other
cantatas put out by the same publishers in“ recent years.

There is a pleasing variety of solos, duets, trios, quartets,
and choruses in the three parts of this composition, which
treat of the Passion, the resurrection, and the ascension
of our Savior. The twenty-eight numbers of the composi-
tion are not too diflicult for a choir of some experience.

GREAT NEED!

The destitution on the mission-field in Alabama
was not fully relieved by the gifts of clothing and
shoes sent by kind friends. Seven of the twenty-two
places are still uncared for. If possible, send the
clothes and shoes which you and members of your
family no longer need to Rey. G. A. Schmidt, Box 683,
