Protestant Foreign Missions. The Protestant Foreign Missions are supported by about 700 organizations; but of this number only 380 actually send out missionaries. The total income of these organizations for the last year that reports are at hand was $69,555,148. The following figures will show how the income for Protestant Foreign Missions has grown since 1860. In 1860 the total income for the enterprise was $4,104,296. By 1900 this had grown to $19,598,823 ; and for 1923 the income was, as stated above, $69,555,148. These organizations re- port 29,188 workers — 11,444 men and 17,744 wives and unmarried women.

Arndt. cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. ing. 142 pages. Price, $1.00. Prof. Arndt has rendered many among us a decided service by writing this book. It is bound to sell; for it is just what many have been looking for. It is really re- markable what the author has succeeded in packing into this book. Despite its compactness, nothing has been left unsaid that needed saying. The style is in the author’s usual clear and simple language. Con- Cloth bind- Voice Preservation. By Emma Selle. Silk-cloth binding. Price, $1.00. Order from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. - This is the second and revised edition of a book writ- ten by a specialist in voice training. Though small in compass, we believe that on its few pages the writer gives advice, which, if followed by our pastors, would do away with the “preacher’s sore throat” among us. ‘Teachers who have occasion to use their voices a great deal will find wholesome advice here for the preservation of their voice. Synodalbericht der Allgemeinen Ev.-Luth. Synode von Wisconsin u.a.St. Northwestern Publishing House, Wilwaukee, Wis. 191 pages. Price, 15 cts. This is more than a report of the last synodical con- vention of the venerable Synod of Wisconsin. Besides the ordinary report (including a fine paper on the Es- sence of the Gospel) this pamphlet contains a statistical report of the whole synod and its congregations. Te Deum Laudamus. Year-Book’of the Ev. Luth. Mission in New Guinea. 1926. Wartburg Publishing House, Chicago, Ill. Price, 50 cts. We like this book of ninety-five pages and thank the editor, Prof. G. J. Zeilinger, for favoring us with a copy. It gives the present status of the former Neuendettelsau Mission in New Guinea, which is now being conducted by the Iowa Synod in a very efficient manner, assisted by Lu- therans in Australia. The perusal of this year-book af- forded us great pleasure. The work is carried on at no less than nineteen stations, four schools, or seminaries, and two printeries. Twenty-eight ordained missionaries are at work in the field. — While reading this year-book the thought came to us whether the publication of such year-books would not be of service to other mission enter- prises also. Koonibba. Twenty-five years of Mission-work among the Australian Aboriginals. Lutheran Publishing Co., Ltd. Adelaide, S. A. The reviewer has always been intensely interested in the work of our Australian brethren among the aborigines of Australia. Occupying almost the lowest rung of cul- ture among human beings, work among them is especially arduous. The more honor to those who are willing to bring the Gospel of Jesus to them. This well-written and copiously illustrated book of ninety pages most interest- ingly and graphically relates the story of the successful work our brethren are doing at Koonibba, a work which has again and again been highly commended by the Aus- tralian officials and others that have visited the station. Lutheran Church. What It Is and What It Stands Ce For. The Lutheran Publishing House, Adelaide, S. A. ‘A well-written tract of twelve pages that fully comes up to the expectations it arouses by its sub-title.
