128 THE LUTHERAN PIONEER

“Our struggle to take the world must become
a service to the world. He is ready for the conflict
who is prepared to serve; he is diligent in the
struggle who has learned to serve. We dare not
let the heathen notice that we are in the contest
for them; they will think that we want to rule them.
If we serve them, we shall win them to the lordship
of Jesus.” i

BOOK TABLE.

(By the Eprror.)

The Atlantic District and Its Antecedents. By Karl
Kretzmann. Order from H. F. Holtorf, 69 Fifth Ave.,
New York, N. Y. Cloth; 160 pages. Price, $1.00.
The author of this history of the Atlantic District of
the. Missouri Synod is the Secretary and archivist of the
District. It was written and published by resolution of
the District, which last year celebrated its twenty-fifth
anniversary. The facts here presented by Pastor Kretz-
mann make interesting reading, and the author has made
the most of the material he had at hand. It will be
a model history of its kind for years to come, we are sure,
and District historians coming after Pastor Kretzmann
will do well to study his method. The book is profusely
illustrated.

Statistical Year-Book of the Ev. Luth. Synod of
Missouri, Ohio, and Other States for the Year
1931. Compiled by EZ. Eckhardt. Concordia Pub-
lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 216 pages. Price, $1.00.

A volume of more than a thousand pages has here been
compressed into a compact book of a little over two hun-
dred pages. It is an example of statistical accuracy, giv-
ing information as to the location, size, and other valu-
able data of every congregation in the Synod. It tells of
the educational, missionary, and benevolent enterprises
of “Missouri.” Yes, it is a veritable mine of useful and
interesting facts and should find a welcome in every home
of the Missouri Synod.

Historias Biblicas para Menores. Compiled by Rev.
L. Heinemeier. Order from Rev. Aug. C. Kroeger,
Villa Alba, F. C. C., Argentina, South America. II-
lustrated; 155 pages. Price 60 cts. Postage extra.

This is a small Spanish Bible History, the publication

of which was made possible by a gift of Prof. A. W. Reese,
St. Paul’s College, Concordia, Mo. The book brings thirty-
five stories from the Old Testament and forty-four from
the New Testament. The compilation is for children and
well serves its purpose as far as the selection of stories
and the language are concerned. The many illustrations
enhance the value of the book, which is strongly bound
in stiff board covers.
