Day of Trouble. By G. L. Wind. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Cloth binding; 245 pages. Price, $1.50.

Another story by our popular writer G. L. Wind. We should thank God for giving us a man with Mr. Wind's ability to write such fascinating Christian stories. Day of Trouble again proves that a story may be clean and pure and yet not lack in interest-yes, be even fascinat• ingly absorbing. This story teaches, without "preaching," that the real worth-while life is the one that is lived to give and that the true sweetness of love is e.xperienced by those who have basked in the sunshine of God's love through faith in Christ Jesus. This love of God snncti:fies our parental love, our filial lo,·e, and our connubial love and brings the only true happiness to man and woman. Die Abendschule. Wcihnachtsm,mmer. Louis Lange Publishing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Price, 25 cts.

The mechanical make-up of Die Abendsclmle, including the type and illustrations, is always first-class, and the editorial work is always done in a most painstaking and conscientious manner. There is probably no literary pe• riodical more carefully edited than Die Abc11dschule. It is only a pity that we have not its English counterpart. For those able to read German this Christmas number brings a rich table of contents: comments on recent events; several Christmas-stories, a number of articles with a Christmas leaning, a special department for women, and a page of interesting brief items. Send for this Christmas number and get acquainted with what a Christian literary periodical should be. Rejoice Yel Children's Christmas Sen•ice. Compiled by Theo. Struckmcycr. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, per copy, 5 cts.; dozen, 50 cts.; hundred, $3.50.

While Christmas will be past when this reaches our readers, we wish to call their attention to this well• arranged Christmas program for the celebration of our
