(By the Eprror.) ‘Amerikanischer Kalender fuer deutsche Lutheraner auf das Jahr 1933. Lutheran Annual, 1983. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, each 15 cts. Here are our two old friends once more, and we are all glad to see them, are we not? There are many of us that should feel lost without our Kalender or Annual. Only yesterday an old member told the Editor, “I shouldn’t know what to do without my Kalender. There are so many beautiful little stories in it every year, and it contains so much information about our Church. I believe I read the stories over four or five times in the course of the year. When you told us last Sunday that only about one-third of the families in our church had a Kalender or Annual in their homes, I was surprised; I always thought every family had one. It seems to me that many of our families should have both the Annual and the Kalender, one for those who prefer English and the other for those who rather read German.” The Editor fully agrees with this old member, and he hopes that many others are of the same opinion. Sermons for the Home. By Prof. H. A. Klein, president of Concordia Seminary, Springfield, Ill. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Bound in black cloth. 216 pages, 6X9. Price, $2.00. The title and the preface tell us that these sermons are intended for the use of shut-ins; and they are ad- mirably suited for that purpose. The selection of themes, comprising all the chief doctrines of the Christian religion in order, will make this book an excellent guide for pas- tors when giving doctrinal lectures to adults preparatory to confirmation. In these sermons we see how a culti- vated mind is able to communicate profoundest thoughts on the highest subjects in simple language. These Ser- mons for the Home are plainly not the by-work of one whose interests were elsewhere in higher matters. Every sermon bears the imprint of careful study and workman- ship. These sermons are worth perusal, if only to show what preaching, even to those not so highly educated, may be made in really competent hands. General Catalog of Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, for 1932-1933. The catalog proper comprises over a thousand pages. The catalog of Juvenile Literature covers another 112 pages. You would have to go a long distance to find a more _ comprehensive catalog of good books, including story-books and picture-books, wall-mottoes, stationery, Sunday-school supplies, and such other items as you would have a right to look for in the catalog of a house of this character. Concordia Publishing House has established for itself a name, and this catalog again shows that its management js doing its utmost to live up to the high standard it has till now maintained.

The expense of maintaining this list has been materially increased. nder present regulations we are subject to a “‘fine’ on all parcels mailed to an incorrect address, inasmuch as we must pay 2 cents for every notifica- tion sent by the postmaster on a parcel or periodical which is undeliverable because no forwarding address is available or because there has been a change of address. This may seem insignificant, but in view of the fact that we have subscribers getting three or more of our periodicals and considering our large a te subscription list, it may readily be seen that it amounts to quite a sum during a year; for the postmaster will address a notification to each individual periodical. Our subscribers can help us by notifying us—one notification pocatal card, costing only 1 cent) will take care of the ad- resses for several publications. We shall be very grateful for your cooperation. ConcorDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE, St. Louis, Mo.
