THE LUTHERAN PIONEER, Concordia Publishing House, 3558 S. Jefferson Ave., St. Louis, Mo. Convention Year-Book, 1928. Edited by Erwin Um- bach. 126 pages. The Walther League, 6438 Eg- gleston Ave., Chicago, Ill. Price, $1.00. This publication contains the complete proceedings, programs, reports, sermons, addresses, and many other matters of interest pertaining to the Thirty-sixth Inter- national Convention of the Walther League, held July 15—19, 1928, in the Municipal Auditorium at Milwaukee, Wis. Pastor Miller’s sermon in the opening service was a moving appeal to the Leaguers always to abound in the work of the Lord, and Missionary Henkel’s sermon in the inspirational service on “A Changeless Christ for a Chang- ing World” was a ringing call to arms. ‘The various ad- dresses and reports presented during the convention and reported in this Year-book must have had an inspiring influence on the Leaguers gathered in Milwaukee, an ir- spiration which they will be sure to have carried with em into their home congregations. Every Walther League local society should own a copy of this book. Leaders who are called upon to address young people’s societies or preach sermons on young people’s work will find this Year-book very helpful. The Lord’s Prayer. Vater Unser.
