The Lutheran “Pioneer. |

Lutheran Annual for 1921. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 15 cts.

This Annual of the Missouri Synod should find a wel-
come in every English-speaking home of Synod. How-
ever, it does not. The manager of the Concordia Publish-
ing House says that it and its German counterpart are
sold in 130,000 copies, and that it is undoubtedly the
most widely distributed Protestant year-book; but for
all its wide distribution, the manager’s statement shows
that there must be about 75,000 homes in the Missouri
Synod that have not yet opened their doors to this Annual
or to the Kalender. I wonder why not?
