THE LUTHERAN PIONEER

BOOK TABLE.

(By the Eprror.)

Concordia Historical Institute Quarterly. Editor-
in-Chief, Prof. W. G. Polack. Associate Editors:
Prof. Theo. Graebner, D. D.; Prof. R. W. Heintze.
Subscription, 50 cts. the copy; $2.00 a year. Vol.V,
No. 3, October, 1932. Order from Mr. Theo. Eckhart,
3558 S. Jefferson Ave., St. Louis, Mo.

.; This issue brings reports of the Second Triennial Con-
vention of the Concordia Historical Society, of the presi-
dent, and of the curator. It has a very instructive article
by Pastor Karl Kretzmann on “Methods of Historical Re-
search.” The articles “The Beginnings of Our Work in
China,” Part I, and “A Brief History of Lutheran Educa-
tion in Oregon,” Part 11, as well as “Documents Regarding
Church Affiliation and Organic Union in the Lutheran
Church of America” are valuable.

Convention Year-Book, 1932. The Walther League,
6438 Eggleston Ave., Chicago, Ill. Price, $1.00.

The editor of this Year-book is Rev. Erwin Umbach,
the Executive Secretary of the Walther League. It con-
tains complete proceedings, reports, sermons, addresses,
and many other matters of interest pertaining to the con-
vention at Los Angeles, July 24—28, 1932. As a part of
the record of our Lutheran youth movement, this Year-
book is an important document and is deserving of careful
study. A copy should be made available to every Walther
Leaguer. The Walther Leaguer and, in fact, every church-
member, reading this record of our youth’s achievements
and the statements of its high aims for the future cannot
but feel inspired and encouraged to take part in the good
work.

Two Marches. Especially adapted for weddings and
other festive occasions. a) Processional, Marche
Nuptiale; b) Recessional, Marche Triomphante. By
Walter Sassmannshausen. Price, 60 cts., net. Order
from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

We are of the opinion that the composer has done the

Church a decided favor in publishing these two fine marches.

May we not hope that with the appearance of these com-

positions the unchurchly compositions so often heard at

weddings will be done away with?

Concordia Collection of Sacred Choruses and An-
thems for More Ambitious Choral Organiza-
tions. No. 26. A Hymn of Praise. By Albert V.
Maurer. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Price, 25 cts.

This is an anthem for a mixed chorus and soprano solo,
with organ accompaniment. This composition should prove
a popular selection for festival occasions with choirs that
are able to render compositions of some difficulty.

Whither Thou Goest. A sacred solo, with piano and
organ accompaniment. By Walter Sussmannshausen.
Price, 50 cts., net. Order from Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo.

This solo is very suitable for weddings. The text is
based on the words of Ruth 1, 16.17: “Entreat me not to
leave thee,” etc. The melody is not difficult and is within
the range of an ordinary voice. The accompaniment will
readily adapt itself to the organ, which fact is a decided
advantage in a composition of this kind.

Christentum und Goethe. By M. Willkomm. Published
' by the Schriftenverein, Zwickau, Sachsen. Price,
50 Pf.; 10 for M. 4.
Rector Willkomm clearly shows that Goethe departed
‘from the Scriptural way of salvation in such important

| doctrines as sin and grace, repentance and atonement, and

"went his own way. On the other hand, the author of this
sea pesarblet shows that he has great admiration for Goethe
4 arpoet and scholar and deems it desirable that his pro-

sh pene i ee ap rend ia reference to much of the literary trash
b publi to-day.

NOTICE TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

In order to render satisfactory service, we must have our
current mailing-list correct. 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

tting 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-
resses for several publications. We shall be very grateful for
your cooperation. ‘
