THE LUTHERAN PIONEER

The Freimund-Wochenblatt reprints the following
from a German newspaper: “Australia destroyed
approximately $00,000 sheep in the fall of 1931 be-
cause they had no value worth mentioning; England
threw a half million herring back into the sea be-
cause they were unsalable; America burned two
million of its six million superfluous bushes of
wheat; Mexico destroyed millions of rotting bana-
nas in storage; Egypt burned a hundred thousand
tons of unsalable cotton; Central America heated
with corn and barley; Brazil burned 70,000 sacks
of coffee and sunk 1,000 sacks in the ocean; Czecho-
slovakia, because of the high tariff, poured tons of
pickles into the Danube; Upper France left two-
thirds of its harvest of hops on the field in 1931 be-
cause of the low price. Contrast with this that in
China 60,000,000 people are threatened with star-
vation; in India, during eight months in 1931, ap-
proximately 600,000 people starved to death; in
Germany 30,000 people annually commit suicide.”

BOOK TABLE.
(By the Enron.)

Statistical Year-Book of the Ev. Luth. Synod of Mis-
souri, Ohio, and Other States for the Year 1932.
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price,
$1.00.

So brimful of facts is this book of 179 pages that it
. would not be a difficult task to expand it into a volume
containing thousands of pages. The annual work of com-
piling this Year-book must be a difficult task indeed; but
our painstaking statistician, the Rev. E. Eckhardt, never
seems to lose his enthusiasm in its performance. Right
well has he again done his work, so well that we greatly
doubt that another church-body has a year-book that is
equal to ours in comprehensiveness and exactness.

The Education of My Children. By A. 0. Stellhorn.

Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price,

5 cts.; dozen, 15 cts.; hundred, 75 cts., plus postage.

The responsibility of parents for the proper training

of their children is strongly brought out in this tract of

five pages. It is convincingly shown that the Christian

training of the home can best be supplemented by the
systematic Christian training of the parish-school.

The Trebalto Collection. Two-part and Three-part choir

Numbers. No.101. Wake, Awake! By M.N. Lund-

. quist. Three-part. Price, 15 cts. —No.102. Psalm

100. By Edw. Carstenn. Two-part. Price, 20 cts. —

No. 103. Lift Thine Byes to the Mountains. By Edw.

Carstenn. Two-part. Price, 20 cts. Concordia Pub-
lishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

These are the first three numbers of a new collection
of two-part and three-part choir selections. This collec-
tion should be welcomed in congregations where mixed
choirs cannot be organized. The first is an Advent selec-
tion for female voices, to be sung a cappella; it is of me-
dium difficulty. The other two selections are adapted to
all kinds of festive occasions; they are both easy. The
second selection has English and German texts, the other
two only English. Wa hope that this new series will be

_ welcomed as it deserves to

Concordia Collection of Sacred Choruses and An-
thems. No. 32. 0 That Men Would Praise the Lord!
By F.L.Calver. Price, 35 ets. Concordia Publish-
ing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Parts for basses, soprano, quartet, and full chorus.
A selection intended for a musical organization of some
ability, but very beautiful.

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
getting 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-
dresses for several publications. We shall be very grateful for
your cooperation.
