Notice.

With God's help the fifth number of the Ev. Luth. Martyrology is now also completed and has just been sent to the honored subscribers. It contains the Italian martyrs Giovanni Mollio Montalcino, Faventino Famino, and the massacre of Montalto. The late appearance of this number has its cause in this, that the privilege obtained for this book did not arrive sooner, for which reason one begs kind indulgence.

It has already been made known that, God willing, a second volume of the Ev. Lutheran Martyrology will appear on the same terms as the first. All who wish to subscribe to it are requested to do so as soon as possible, so that the size of the edition may be determined accordingly.

Letters are requested, postage paid, at the address:

Rev. H. Fick,
Bremen, near St. Louis, Mo.

Betbuch

of Christian the First, Duke and Elector of Saxony, of the year 1589.

This precious prayer book, newly edited by Dr. Irmischer, has lately appeared from the publishing house of Mr. Andreas Deichert in Erlangen. It is 312 pages strong in small octavo format and costs in Germany only 6 Neugroschen. The book was not, as it seems, composed by the Elector named on the title, but was merely put together at his wish from existing prayers. After 38 daily morning and evening blessings follow 65 prayers taken from the Bible, then 42 prayers for particular estates according to the Table of Duties of the Catechism; thereupon 86 petitions for every need of all Christendom, together with thanksgivings for all benefits, according to the chief parts of the Catechism; a threefold exposition of the Lord's Prayer, and finally a Passion history after the four Evangelists, with a general Passion prayer. The prayers have the special merit that they are as instructive as they are full of unction. Where the need of a good prayer book in a family shows itself, it can hardly be better supplied than by this beautiful, substantial and yet so cheap "Betbuch."
