of clothes received for destitute in our poor colored

congregations bear witness to this. We take this

occasion to express our hearty thanks to all who
have sent us clothes for the poor in our Colored
Missions. And we herewith appeal again to all who
have old and still usable clothing to remember the
poor here in Alabama.

If ‘Jesus were visibly with us in the flesh and
were suffering actual need, would not all gladly help
Him? Surely! But Jesus is here. We see Him in
each poor and needy person. Oh, let us, then, help
wherever and whenever there is need. As an in-
spiration for us let us remember these beautiful
words of His: “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done
it unto Me.’ What an incentive that is to help the

poor and needy! q. A. Scumipt,
Box 683, Selma, Ala.

“Saved to Save.’’

_ A Christian must not be satisfied to know that
he is saved. He must, in turn, strive to save others.
Dwight L. Moody used to tell of a steel engraving
which pleased him very much. He said: “I thought

it was the finest thing I had ever seen at the time,
and I bought it. It was the picture of a woman
coming out of the water clinging with both hands
to the Cross of Refuge. But afterwards,” he went
on to say, “I saw another picture that spoiled this
one for me entirely. It was so much more lovely.
It was a picture of a person coming out of the dark
waters with one arm clinging to the cross, but with
the other lifting some one else out of the waves.”

Among the many good things in this number we were
specially interested in the article bearing the title “The
Place of Fiction in the Development of Lutheran Con-
sciousness.” May its reading help to inspire pens among us
to write good Lutheran fiction! As the writer plainly
points out, there are incidents enough in American Lu-
theran history which could be developed into many an in-
teresting story.

Communion Liturgy. By Karl Haase. Published by
Karl Haase, Seward, Nebr. May also be ordered
from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Price, 30 cts.

This fifteen-page composition brings the German and
English texts of the Communion Liturgy and the Com-
mon Service. We are sure that organists will welcome
this production of Professor Haase and that it will be ex-
tensively used in our circles. The harmonization is pleas-
ing, and the composition abounds in melodious chords.

Concordia Christmas Greeting Cards. 1928. Concor-
dia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Ten assorted
cards in a package. Put up only in boxes of 25 pack-
ages. To be retailed at 25 cts. a set. These cards
are sold only by schools and Sunday-schools.

Truly Christian Christmas-cards, every one of them
a work of art in six colors. Each picture reproduces some
incident in the early life of Jesus. The value of the cards
is greatly enhanced by the poetic gems accompanying the
pictures. Since post-cards at present can be sent for one
cent apiece, it goes without saying that these beautiful
cards, the equal of cards that ordinarily sell for five cents
and more, will prove very popular and that the publishers
will soon dispose of their million lot.
