THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

A Christian Pedagogy. By Edward W. A. Koehler, In-
structor in Concordia Teachers’ College, River Forest,
Ill. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Brown cloth binding; XII and 260 pages. Price,
It would not be unreasonable to expect a 5,000 edition
of Professor Koehler’s Christian Pedagogy to be sold
within two months aiter its appearance on the book-
market. For one thing, there is a crying need for a Chris-
tian pedagogy; and, for another thing, Professor Koeh-
ler’s book fills the need. While reading in this book
during the past few days, as time would permit, we were
struck with the thoroughness with which the author has
covered the field of Christian pedagogy and the interest-
ing manner in which he handles the whole subject. Of
course, all our teachers will want this book, and our
pastors will not want to be without it. But we were
also thinking what a blessing this book could be made
to be if all our Lutheran public-school teachers were in
possession of this Christian Pedagogy. We should be
doing our whole American educational system the greatest
service by recommending this book wherever opportunity
offers itself.

The Pine Ridge Feud.
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
blue cloth binding; 142 pages. Price, $1.00.

The story of a typical mountain feud, interestingly
told from beginning to end. The language is smooth, the
descriptions are vivid, the action is dramatic. The long
feud, which has cost the life of many a Higgins and of
not a few Hamiltons, is finally brought to an end by the
powerful Gospel of Christ, which turns hearts of hate
into hearts of love. ‘There is also a tender and appealing
romance, which binds together in happy marriage a Hig-
gins and a Hamilton. <A good Christmas-gift!

The Child of Bethlehem. An English Christmas Ser-
vice (containing a short part in German, which may
be omitted). Compiled by J. Gieschen. North-
western Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis. Price,
10 ects.; dozen, 84 cts.; 100, $6.00.

Prince of Peace. <A Christmas Service for Chil-
dren and Congregation. Compiled by Richard R.
Caemmerer. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,
Mo. Price, 6 cts.; 100, $4.50.

The latter program consists largely of questions and
answers, though provision is also made for recitations
by the children. In this program more singing is pro-
vided for the congregation than is usually the case in
Christmas services. ‘The distinctive feature of the first
program is a short German part, which can be omitted
without disturbing the unity of the program. It con-
tains a very full and choice selection of recitations. In
both programs the selection of songs is good. F.J.L.

The

CERTIFICATE.

Pursuant to a resolution of the 1930 Quincy Conven-
tion of the Synodical Conference I have examined the
books and records of the Board for Colored Missions of
the Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference of North
America for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1930, and
certify that the statement of asset and liability accounts
as presented by the Treasurer in his printed report to
the convention, and published in the same form in the
_ September Missionstaube and Pioneer, is in agreement

- with the books of account.

In connection with the examination, which included
the tracing of all receipts to the deposits in the bank
and the substantiation of the disbursements by approved
youchers and paid bank checks, special attention was paid
to the Debenture Issue which was floated during the pe-
od under examination, as well as Coupon No.1 of this
@ issue, which was paid on May 1,1930. All features
; connection with this Debenture Issue were commend-
ably handled.
