The Augsburg Confession.
Triglotta. 52 pages.
100, $2.40.

This reprint of the first specifically Lutheran confes-
sion will surely be very welcome at a time when we are
about to enter the quadricentennial year of this vener-
able symbol of our Chureh. No doubt, in many congrega-
tions pastors will form special study classes of the Augs-
burg Confession next year, and in such cases this cheap
reprint will be particularly serviceable.

Glorious Dawn. <A Christmas Cantata. Music by Z. H.
Brunn, B. M. Words by G. L. Wind. 56 pages. Price,
90 cts.; in dozen lots, 72 cts. the copy.

This composition has three parts. The first part opens
with the prelude “In Dulei Jubilo,” based on the well-
known Christmas tune of that name.
has a prelude based on “Silent Night,” and in the third
part we have a prelude based on “Adeste, Fideles.” The
three parts of the Glorious Dawn bear the headings,
“A World Rejoicing,” “Lhe Savior’s Birth,” and “The
Adoration.” What should commend this beautiful com-
position to our choirs is the fact that it is not difficult
to master. Another feature that will commend this can-
tata, we believe, is the large number of solos and duets
it brings, thus leaving the work for the choruses com-
paratively light. The cantata can be rendered in about
an hour and fifteen minutes.

songs. The spoken part of the program consists of recita-
tions. A Christmas pageant, In the Days of Herod the
King, is added.
