We regret this very much, but. beg to say that our editorial — committee experienced much more difficulty than had been antici- pated. It must also be said in this connection that Synod itself now requires very much more occasional printing than ever before, so that our facilities, even though increased, are taxed to the utmost. To add equipment before it seems reasonably certain that this - heavy output will continue to be expected does not seem wise. We have also failed to produce the historical set of books ordered by Synod . in 1923, but we express no regrets as a work of such consequence should not be precipitated. Late in 1925 we firially succeeded (after over ten years of plan- ning and experimenting) in placing on the market the first edition of the complete Bible in two living languages on parallel pages, using © the two text faces most familiar in our Church. This was a costly undertaking, and our Board, after mature deliberation, has ordered the management to sell the book, at least for the present, at a price which will barely return the investment. . Space does not permit more than the enumeration of the titles of the works published, omitting, of course, all reprints, of which there are many: — New Publications of Concordia Publishing House During the Triennium 1923—1926.
