THE LUTHERAN PIONEER.

St. Louis, Mo.: “Being an officer in a Presby-
terian church, I have been particularly interested
in the fine messages you are sending out, which
should be the means of pronounced enlightenment
to a great many people and should be a great
benefit in a spiritual way.”

Flat River, Mo.: “We are Presbyterians, and
we think you people are alive and very much about
the Master’s business.”

theology ?

Our own people are delighted to observe the
deep appreciation with which many non-Lutherans

mine stated that one of the men who worked in
her office and who was a Catholic, told her that he
heard a splendid sermon from KFUO at St. Louis
recently. No doubt, the ‘Gospel Voice’ is pene-
trating. Appearing before an unseen audience is,
perhaps, a little discouraging at times, but you may
rest assured that your efforts will bear much fruit.”

Danvers, Iil.: “Recently a certain man stopped
me for a friendly chat. He drifted into radio and
said, “The greater part of Sunday I spend at my
radio set, listening to the various sermons. Some
preachers only talk, others speak of topics not
Scriptural. The most enjoyment I get is from a
