‘Amerikanischer Kalender fuer deutsche Lutheraner
auf das Jahr 1933.

Lutheran Annual, 1983. Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. Price, each 15 cts.

Here are our two old friends once more, and we are
all glad to see them, are we not? There are many of us
that should feel lost without our Kalender or Annual.
Only yesterday an old member told the Editor, “I shouldn’t
know what to do without my Kalender. There are so many
beautiful little stories in it every year, and it contains so
much information about our Church. I believe I read the
stories over four or five times in the course of the year.
When you told us last Sunday that only about one-third
of the families in our church had a Kalender or Annual
in their homes, I was surprised; I always thought every
family had one. It seems to me that many of our families
should have both the Annual and the Kalender, one for
those who prefer English and the other for those who
rather read German.” The Editor fully agrees with this
old member, and he hopes that many others are of the
same opinion.

Sermons for the Home. By Prof. H. A. Klein, president
of Concordia Seminary, Springfield, Ill. Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Bound in black
cloth. 216 pages, 6X9. Price, $2.00.

The title and the preface tell us that these sermons
are intended for the use of shut-ins; and they are ad-
mirably suited for that purpose. The selection of themes,
comprising all the chief doctrines of the Christian religion
in order, will make this book an excellent guide for pas-
tors when giving doctrinal lectures to adults preparatory
to confirmation. In these sermons we see how a culti-
vated mind is able to communicate profoundest thoughts
on the highest subjects in simple language. These Ser-
mons for the Home are plainly not the by-work of one
whose interests were elsewhere in higher matters. Every
sermon bears the imprint of careful study and workman-
ship. These sermons are worth perusal, if only to show
what preaching, even to those not so highly educated, may
be made in really competent hands.

General Catalog of Concordia Publishing House,
St. Louis, for 1932-1933.

The catalog proper comprises over a thousand pages.
The catalog of Juvenile Literature covers another 112
pages. You would have to go a long distance to find a more

_ comprehensive catalog of good books, including story-books
and picture-books, wall-mottoes, stationery, Sunday-school
supplies, and such other items as you would have a right
to look for in the catalog of a house of this character.
Concordia Publishing House has established for itself
a name, and this catalog again shows that its management
js doing its utmost to live up to the high standard it has
till now maintained.

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. nder 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
getting three or more of our periodicals and considering our
large a te 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
pocatal card, costing only 1 cent) will take care of the ad-

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