able hymn stanza. We are sure that every parent using
the book will find that its simply told stories and child-
like prayers will make a strong appeal to the hearts of
their little ones.

The mere mention of these titles will convince every
one of the desirability of distributing them at this season.
All our congregations should see to it that these leaflets
be gotten out among their own members and among as
many other people as possible.

In this connection we wish to call the attention of our
readers to the noble work done by the American Lutheran
Publicity Bureau in its chosen field of labor. Thanks to
its efforts our Lutheran Church is to-day being more and
more recognized by others, and our own members are more
and more realizing what a glorious Church they belong to.
Not satisfied to rest upon its laurels so far won, the Bureau
suggests the general observance throughout our Church of
a Lutheran Publicity Week from October 28th to Novem-
ber 4th. The suggestion seems a good one to us, for we
feel that we owe it to our Lutheran Church, as well as to
those among whom we are living, that we make known
as far as possible the Biblical principles and glorious his-
tory of our Church. In a well-gotten-up folder the Bureau
outlines what might be done during this Publicity Week,
and for all that, during every other seek, to attain the
desired end of making known to the people the good thing
we have. By all means let every pastor study this pam-
phiet, which may be had for a two-cent postage stamp by
writing to the American Lutheran Publicity Bureau, 901
Summit Ave., Jersey City, N.J., and then let him get the
cooperation of his congregation, or as large a part of it as
he can, to carry out all the suggestions given in the folder
that may seem practical to them,
