sein. sondem auch daneben den Woel-

angreifen und mit falscher Lehre ver-

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!
