Wessel. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 261 pages; bound in cloth. Price, $1.25. This book of thirty-two sermons will prove of value to many a busy pastor during the festival season, or when unexpectedly called upon to speak upon some spe- cial occasion. These sermons ‘are solid as to contents, and the thoughts are clothed in chaste and simple lan- guage. We do not hesitate to say that these sermons are models of sacred rhetoric. By J. Hl. C. Fritz. SS pages; Concordia Pub- Church Finances. bound in lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. paper covers. Price, 35 cts. We wish that this practical little book could be placed into the hands of every member of our congregations, and that, this being done, some way could be devised of in- ducing every member to read it with care. We are sure that, if this could be done, most of our financial worries in congregations and Synod would be things of the past. Synodical Reports of Missouri Synod for 1922.

A story for children, by Jlarg. Lenk. Translated from the German. Johannes Herr- mann, Zwickau, Saxony. 40 pages; board covers. Price, 25 ets. Order from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. Lenk’s children’s stories are well worth trans- lating into the language of our country, and it always affords us great joy when we see another one of her juveniles in English dress. May many others follow this beautiful story! F.J.L. NOTICE. Acknowledgments for sums of money given me for Col- ored Missions by individuals have heretofore appeared only in the Ifissionstaube.
