96 THE LUTHERAN PIONEER

and of some successful efforts to break up or close
the doors of Christian schools.

As we appraise the faithful service being ren-
dered by those who have responded to the Gospel’s
appeal to rise up and follow Him, we know of the
heart-break of many humble followers of the Man of
Nazareth, who like Him have been cruelly mis-
understood by those closest and dearest in the home
or in the circle of intimate friends and have been
rejected by those to whom they came with the Word
of Light. “He is despised and rejected of men”
may properly be written of many a faithful Chris-
tian — Chinese or foreigner — who continues loyal
to his Redeemer, telling the Gospel-story where he
can, distributing the Gospel portions where he goes,
and living sacrificially and triumphantly the life of
the redeemed. G. C. Lacy.

‘Preach the Gospel to Every Creature.”

Important activities are going on, and great.

deeds are being done in the world. Many of them
deserve to be highly regarded. But the most far-
reaching and most necessary one of them all, the
one deserving of profoundest consideration, is the
winning of souls for heaven — mission-work. The
world needs food and clothing; it needs schools
and hospitals; it needs railroads and a score of
other things essential for this life. But more than
all of these it needs the Bread of Life and the
garments of righteousness in Christ; it needs spir-
itual instruction and healing; it needs an open
highway to heaven. Jesus knew all the needs of
mankind, and He said, “Preach the Gospel.” We
admire the great merchant, the prominent educator,
the famous doctor, the administrator of great
affairs; but a far greater work than theirs is being
done by the missionary, who builds God’s kingdom
for time and eternity. How do you regard your
missionaries, and what are you doing for them?

BOOK TABLE.

Fliehet aus Babel. By Prof. A. 7’. Kramer, Crespo, Ar-
gentina. 32 pages.

This well-written pamphlet is intended for free distri-
bution among the members of our Church in Argentina.
It has the outspoken purpose of showing the Lutherans
of Argentina that the German Evangelical La Plata Synod
has departed from God’s Word in practically every im-
portant doctrine of the Christian religion; and the author
convincingly carries out his purpose. From their own

, Written expressions, Professor Kramer convicts his op-
' pone of their unscriptural position. God speed this
je pamphlet on its way and grant it many victories!
