# The Lutheran Pioneer_St. Louis_1933_S112 # Machine transcription, uncorrected — CHI Digital Archive (demonstration) 112 THE LUTHERAN PIONEER The Freimund-Wochenblatt reprints the following from a German newspaper: “Australia destroyed approximately $00,000 sheep in the fall of 1931 be- cause they had no value worth mentioning; England threw a half million herring back into the sea be- cause they were unsalable; America burned two million of its six million superfluous bushes of wheat; Mexico destroyed millions of rotting bana- nas in storage; Egypt burned a hundred thousand tons of unsalable cotton; Central America heated with corn and barley; Brazil burned 70,000 sacks of coffee and sunk 1,000 sacks in the ocean; Czecho- slovakia, because of the high tariff, poured tons of pickles into the Danube; Upper France left two- thirds of its harvest of hops on the field in 1931 be- cause of the low price. Contrast with this that in China 60,000,000 people are threatened with star- vation; in India, during eight months in 1931, ap- proximately 600,000 people starved to death; in Germany 30,000 people annually commit suicide.” N.L.C. News Bulletin. BOOK TABLE. (By the Enron.) Statistical Year-Book of the Ev. Luth. Synod of Mis- souri, Ohio, and Other States for the Year 1932. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $1.00. So brimful of facts is this book of 179 pages that it . would not be a difficult task to expand it into a volume containing thousands of pages. The annual work of com- piling this Year-book must be a difficult task indeed; but our painstaking statistician, the Rev. E. Eckhardt, never seems to lose his enthusiasm in its performance. Right well has he again done his work, so well that we greatly doubt that another church-body has a year-book that is equal to ours in comprehensiveness and exactness. The Education of My Children. By A. 0. Stellhorn. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 5 cts.; dozen, 15 cts.; hundred, 75 cts., plus postage. The responsibility of parents for the proper training of their children is strongly brought out in this tract of five pages. It is convincingly shown that the Christian training of the home can best be supplemented by the systematic Christian training of the parish-school. The Trebalto Collection. Two-part and Three-part choir Numbers. No.101. Wake, Awake! By M.N. Lund- . quist. Three-part. Price, 15 cts. —No.102. Psalm 100. By Edw. Carstenn. Two-part. Price, 20 cts. — No. 103. Lift Thine Byes to the Mountains. By Edw. Carstenn. Two-part. Price, 20 cts. Concordia Pub- lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. These are the first three numbers of a new collection of two-part and three-part choir selections. This collec- tion should be welcomed in congregations where mixed choirs cannot be organized. The first is an Advent selec- tion for female voices, to be sung a cappella; it is of me- dium difficulty. The other two selections are adapted to all kinds of festive occasions; they are both easy. The second selection has English and German texts, the other two only English. Wa hope that this new series will be _ welcomed as it deserves to Concordia Collection of Sacred Choruses and An- thems. No. 32. 0 That Men Would Praise the Lord! By F.L.Calver. Price, 35 ets. Concordia Publish- ing House, St. Louis, Mo. Parts for basses, soprano, quartet, and full chorus. A selection intended for a musical organization of some ability, but very beautiful. Contributions Received by the Treasurer. May 1—31, 1933. For Negro Missions: From C. F.

The expense of maintaining this list has been materially increased. Under 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 aggregate 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 (postal card, costing only 1 cent) will take care of the ad- dresses for several publications. We shall be very grateful for your cooperation. Concorvia PuBLisHine Hovss, St. Louls, Mo. Kindly consult the address label on this paper to ascertain whether your subscription has expired or will soon expire. “Jul 33” on the label means that your subscription has ex- pired. Please pay your agent or the Publisher promptly in order to avoid interruption of service.
