160 THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

Word-Pictures of Bible Events. No. II (Exodus to
Deuteronomy). By W. Moenkemoeller, Department
of Bible History and Greek, Concordia College, St.
Paul, Minn. 100 pages. Price, 35 cts. — Guide
Lines for Study in Connection with Word-Pictures
of Bible Events. No.l. Price, 6 cts.; dozen, 60 cts.
Order from Concordia Publishing House, St.: Louis,
Mo., or from the author.

In thirty-four chapters the author takes us through
four books of Moses. As he guides us through the sacred
pages, he applies the Word to conditions of to-day. We
are pleased to think that the reception Professor Moenke-
moeller’s Word-Pictures on Genesis received was sufli-
ciently encouraging to induce him to continue the series.
The author’s Guide Lines for Study should by all means
be used in connection with the Word-Pictures, since they
will prove a great help to the student.

The Mission of Lutheranism. By Rev. K. Kretzschmar.
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price,
20 cts.

This is a reprint of a paper read by Pastor Kretzschmar
at the last convention of the Western District of the Mis-
souri Synod. The Literature Board showed good judg-
ment in deciding upon this reprint. Some of the chapters
are intensely interesting, and the whole paper is of more
than ordinary value. The language is simple and easily
understood. The general reading of this pamphlet would
do our Church an untold amount of good.

Convention Year-Book, 1926. Walther League, 6438
Eggleston Ave., Chicago, Ill. Price, $1.00.

On 128 pages a complete record of the late Thirty-
fourth International Walther League Convention is given
in this book. It brings the official minutes and reports
of the various departments, such as the Executive, Edu-
cational, Hospice, Junior, Mission, and Business Depart-
ments, the annual statement of the treasurer, and a re-
port of the superintendent of the Wheat Ridge Sanitarium.
Also the complete programs, the addresses and sermons
are given, and the reports on the sectional conferences
held during the convention are not missing. We feel sure
that the limited supply of this Year-book will soon be ex-
hausted, for which reason we suggest that you send in
your order soon.

The Land of Sunny Days. By G. L. Wind. Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $1.25.
Those who have read the author’s Natalie will be
pleased to hear of this new story. Natalie is interesting;
but we believe that you will enjoy this story even more
than its predecessor. The plot is well developed, the lan-
guage is chaste, the spirit is thoroughly Christian through-
out. Mr. Wind has once more given proof that it is quite
possible to write an interesting story without becoming
immoral in any way. F.J.L.

LUTHERAN EXPOSITION.

Chicago Lutherans invite all friends who will be in
the vicinity of Chicago on October 9 and 10 to visit the
first Lutheran Exposition at Hotel Sherman. Due to the
splendid cooperation of the various boards of Synod at
least fifty exhibits of the various phases of Synod’s work
will present to the eye an idea of the world-wide task
our Church is undertaking in Educational, Mission, Pub-
lication, and Charitable endeavors. Admission to these
exhibits is free to the public both days from 9 a.m. to
11 p.at. The exhibits will prove an education as well as
an inspiration to all who see them. :

In addition to the exhibits six special programs are
being arranged, and able speakers will present Synod’s
work in an edifying manner. The Official Opening of the
Exposition will take place on Saturday, 10 A. M., and
combined with this there will be a special Program for
Children, with special addresses to the children. Satur-
day, 2.30 P.M., a Rally for Ladies will be held in recogni-
tion of the great part the ladies play in the building of

the Church. At 6.30 P.M., Saturday, a Young People’s
Rally and Fellowship Dinner will be combined with show-
ing of moving pictures of our Seminary dedication and
Walther League convention. Sunday, 11 A. M., a Lu-
theran Service will be conducted for travelers and vis-
itors. At 3 P.M. a Program of Six-minute Addresses on
various branches of our Chureh’s work will be combined
with special music by the Chicago Bach Chorus. The Ex-
position will come to a close with an Inspirational Ser-
vice at § P. M., with special music by the Chicago Teach-
ers’ Choir.

The committee is working and praying that this Lu-
theran Exposition will prove a stimulus and power for
promoting and maintaining greater interest in the world-
wide task of our Chureh. We hope that all who are
within reach of Chicago will take advantage of the op-
portunity to accept the invitation and attend the first
Lutheran Exposition. Tue CoMMITTEE.
