neglect any service to his master, and as to the rest,
to commend himself to the mercy of God. He went
to the service, and on his return he was called to
his master, who, after severely reprimanding him,
administered twenty-five strokes and then with blas-
phemous mockery said to him, “What can Jesus
Christ now do for you?” “He gives me strength,”
said the poor child, “to bear this patiently.” “Give
him twenty-five strokes more,” said the cruel master.
It was done. “What can Jesus now do for you?”
asked the master again. “He helps me to think of
a future reward,” said the little martyr. “Give him
another twenty-five,” cried the master, beside him-
self with rage. It was done, and as he took wild
pleasure in the death cries of the sufferer, he asked
again, “What can Jesus Christ now do for you?”
The young martyr, by the last effort of his sinking
voice, said, “He helps me pray for thee, master!”
and expired. — Lutheran Messenger.

BOOK TABLE.

Knowledge unto Salvation. By Dr. Paul 2. Kretzmann.
Cloth binding. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,
Mo. Price, 40 cts.

This will prove a very serviceable guide for our pas-
tors in the instruction of adult classes. The book con-
tains a series of thirty-two outlines. A number of the
outlines may easily be combined with others, so that the
number of lessons can be reduced to about twenty-four,
where circumstances demand it. While the outlines do
not follow Luther’s Small Catechism, they always refer
to it. Two fine features of the outlines are their refer-
ences to Bible stories that teach the same lesson taught
in the outline and to such’ portions of the Confessions
of our Church as have bearing upon the subject discussed.

The Secret Empire. A Handbook of Lodges. By Prof.
Th.Graebner. Concordia vublishing House, St. Louis,

Mo. Cloth binding. 255 pages. Price, $1.25.
A most timely book! Never were we in greater need.
of information such as this book brings to us. A reliable
book! Professor Graebner is an authority on lodges, and

-we may place mplici’ confidence in the statements of this

book. "A comprehensive book! In the compass of about
250 pages the author gives us all necessary information
concerning the most important lodges of to-day. We feel
certain that the purchasers of this book—and may their
number be thousands! —will feel themselves under spe-
cial obligations to the author for what he has to say of
societies that are not secret, such as the Rotarians, Kiwa-
nians, Lions, American Legion, Y.M. C. A., and Y. W.C. A.
The wide reading of this book by our pastors, teachers,
and laymen would soon bear blessed fruit among us.
