The Lutheran Pioneer.

trations by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. Handsome
cloth-binding. Price, 90 ets. The fourth edition of this

Ey.-Luth. Hausfreund- Kalender, 1925. 41. Jahrgang.
Johannes Herrmann, Zwickau, Saxony. Order from
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price,
20 cts.

This is without a doubt one of the very best Christian
annuals put on the market. Considering the amount of
reading-matter it brings between its covers, its price is re-
markably low. The excellent reading-matter, instructive
and edifying throughout, should make this annual a wel-
come yearly visitor in many homes among us where Ger-
man is still read, thus making it a companion to our own
synodical annuals.

Concordia-Kalender, 1925. By G. A. and EF. A. Fleischer.
Published by Concordia Mutual Benefit League, 105
to 109 N. Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. Price, 40 cts.

A remarkably cheap annual, bringing 200 pages of good
reading-matter, about equally divided between the English
and German languages, as far as we can judge. For those
who like to read poetry and stories fine selections are
provided. Those desiring humor will find in this annual
that which will satisfy them, and those who prefer more
solid reading will not be disappointed.

Unto Us a Child is Born. Uns ist cin Kind geboren.
- A Christmas anthem for mixed voices with baritone
solo, children’s voices, and organ accompaniment. By
Walter Sassmannshausen. English-German _ text.
Price, 20 cts.; postage extra. Published by Walter
Sassmannshausen, 5220 Pensacola Ave., Chicago, Ill.
Order from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
This new Christmas anthem will undoubtedly find the
same ready sale that did the previous publications of the
composer, and will well deserve it.

I Come to Thee This Solemn Hour, O Lord. Ich komm’
zu dir, o Herr, in dieser Stund’. A two-part song
with accompaniment, appropriate for confirmation
and New Year. Words and music by Wm. Heine.
Printed for the benefit of the Ev. Luth, Children’s
Friend Society of Michigan. Order from Concordia
Publishing House, St.Louis, Mo. Price, 20 cts. a copy;
dozen, $2.00.

We have here words of fine sentiment and deep piety
set to simple and appropriate music. ‘The German poem
by C. Lohrmann, used as a “filler” on the fourth page, is
a beautiful prayer for the day of confirmation. F. J. L.

The Enlarged ‘‘Pioneer.”’

Beginning with the January, 1925, issue, the Lu-

theran Pioneer will be enlarged to twice its present -

size without an increase in the price of subscription.
This is being done pursuant to the unanimous resolu-
tion of the convention of the Synodical Conference as-
sembled at Napoleon, O., August 20—25, 1924. The need
of a larger English missionary periodical having been
presented to the convention, it decided with great en-
thusiasm to make it possible for the Lutheran Pioneer
in a greater measure to consider all the mission enter-
prises of the Synodical Conference.

f course, it will mean a great additional expense
to carry out the resolution of the Synodical Confer-
ence. But we are especially relying upon our present
readers to come to our assistance by securing one or
More subscriptions for the Lutheran Pioneer in its
enlarged form. If our loyal readers will do the great
cause of missions this service, we can cheerfully face
the future. Incidentally let us say this, that the greatest
compensation and the most lasting compliment any

ler can give the Lutheran Pioneer will be to gain

one or more new subscriptions for 1925 and the years :

following! As the Lutheran Pioneer is a missionary
publication and is not published for financial gain, we
make bold to ask you to cooperate with us by recom-
mending it to others and adding to our list of sub-
scribers.

_ The enlarging of our’paper will mean a considerable
increase in the cost of publication. But in enlarging
the Pioneer to twice its present size, raising its stand-
ard, and increasing its usefulness, we are not increas-
ing the cost to its readers. We take this course be-
cause we think that our present readers will help us
meet the situation by helping us to double the present
circulation.

We feel that the Pioneer will be indispensable to
every English-speaking man and woman of the Synod- ,
ical Conference who is interested in missions. We
feel that we have the right to say that the Lutheran
Pioneer in its enlarged form belongs into every home .
of the Synodical Conference where English is read;
or, to put it in the form of a question: Can any family
among us afford not to invest one cent a week in the
Lutheran Pioneer, which will keep it intelligently in-
formed through interesting articles and stories about
the work the Church is doing in many parts of the
world? F. J. L.
