Concordia Theological Monthly Vol. xv DECEMBER, 1944 No. 12 IN MEMORY OF WILLIAM HERMAN THEODORE DAU Theologian - Educator - Author - Church Leader Born: February 8, 1864 Died: April 21. 1944 This issue of the CONCORDIA THEOLOGICAL MONTHLY, thanks to the generous co-operation of Concordia Publishing House, can present a picture of the sainted Dr. Dau together with a facsimile of an outline written by him in 1910 for a sermon preached in Messiah Lutheran Church, St. Louis, Mo. The neat, careful chirography, thoroughly characteristic of the man, will be noted. The original of the outline was in possession of the Rev. W. F. Lichtsinn, President of the Central District of our Synod, who kindly placed it at our disposal. From 1905, when Professor Dau joined the Faculty of Con- cordia Seminary, St. Louis, till 1926, the year in which he relin- quished this professorship to become president of Valparaiso University, his work on the parent journals of the CONCORDIA THEOLOGICAL MONTHLY was continuous and of wide scope. He served especially as managing editor of the Theological Quarterly, and, from 1920 to 1926, of its successor, the Theological Monthly, and of the English section of the Homiletical Magazine. One may safely predict that, as the years roll by, many searchers for soundly Scriptural and genuinely Lutheran discus- sions of theological subjects will turn with gratitude and admira- tion to the classical sermons, books, and articles of the departed leader. What he produced can fittingly be called "apples of gold in pictures of silver" (Prov. 25: 11) . May the Church be granted many more men like him! A.
