Explanation of

The Common Service

in the form of questions and answers comprehensively and clearly given

With Appendices on Christian Hymnody and Liturgical Colors and a Glossary of Liturgical Terms

This book is the direct result of Luther League Devotional Study and has been prepared by a committee of Liturgical Scholars appointed by a District Luther League. It should be widely read and studied by all young and old Lutherans.

No question concerning our Services remains unanswered.

In the preparation of this Explanation the Standard sources have been consulted. Whatever seemed well adapted to explain the meaning and the connection of the several parts of the Service of the Church was freely used.

The book is 64 by 81⁄2 inches, printed in red and black, the portions from the Church book being in red, while the Explanation portion is in black, on fine Oxford laid paper with wide margins. It is to be had in two styles of bindings.

THE BADGE OF ROYALTY

Men are proud to wear badges that identify them with kings.

To have a "decoration" bestowed by a monarch is to hold a great prize.

But kings get their power through inheritance-how much more honorable is it to win power by strength of character.

Martin Luther was born a peasant, but he has exerted greater power than any king the world has ever seen.

Wear his badge and read the secret of his power in the description he wrote of that emblem.
