A. W. Groß, Allan H. Jahsmann, Wm. Kramer, Arthur L. Miller, G. L. Wind. We wish these men God's guidance and blessing for their very important but also difficult work, and in addition a great many subscribers and readers not only within our Synodical Conference but also far beyond it, in church and non-church circles.

Das Heilige Vaterunser. Devotions from September 19 to November 9, 1949. By the Rev. Paul Sauer. Devotional booklet No. 93. Price: 10 cents.

Show Me Thy Way. By Pastor Martin Walker. Portals of Prayer No. 93. Price: 10 cents. Concordia Publishing House, Saint Louis, Mo.

Both devotional booklets contain short devotions for every day, morning and evening prayers, and a prayer for the sick. The English booklet offers still other prayers as well: for students, Church, missions, peace; also a number of short prayers from Scripture and divine promises. The daily use of these devotional booklets in the family circle should be of great blessing to all. Hundreds of thousands of such booklets are sent out regularly. Whoever does not yet use them, let him by all means order them.

Music

Orders for this music should be addressed to Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

Christmas Music for the Pipe Organ. William Wehmeyer.

Five of the best-known Christmas melodies are offered in a new musical dress. No wonder that the composer has at times let himself be led into an abrupt, chromatic, and, in my opinion, somewhat purposeless harmonic overreaching. Yet he has acquitted himself of the difficult task of supplying something new with great skill. Organists who are looking for Christmas music that is not too difficult will find here what they want. Price: $1.00.

Five Chorales. (No. BA 25.) Walther Collection. Editor, Walter E. Buszin. Price: 22 cents.

The five chorales of this issue should be used with a suitable prelude, which is to be found in The Memorial Collection of Organ Preludes and Variations by Johann Gottfried Walther, published by Concordia Publishing House in the year 1948. (Price: $3.50.) The chorales themselves do not come from Walther; four have Bach as their composer, and one Professor Buszin. Although they are for the most part unknown to our Lutherans, they nevertheless belong among the best chorales; together with their preludes from the Walther collection they are well suited to beautify our divine services.

Jerusalem, Thou City Fair and High. (No. TR 115.) R. Hernried.
What Is the World to Me. (No. TR 116.) R. Hernried. (Trebalto Collection.) Price: 15 cents each.

Both musical settings of these well-known hymns of our Church show the mature musician; also the value he attaches to women's and children's voices. The music of these compositions is not too difficult.

Concordia Treble Series, Nos. 20 to 27.

Directors of choirs made up of children, young girls, or women should procure this series. The music is partly easy, partly difficult; but all of it is not only singable but also churchly. Numbers 20-27 also contain anthems for the high festivals of the church year as well as some for ordinary use. Price: 5 cents each.

The Male Church Choir. J. C. Wohlfeil. Revised edition. Price: 75 cents.

In a new edition anthems are offered here which have already found much favor. The collection contains anthems for the whole church year with the exception of the high festivals. For these, other collections can be obtained from our publishing house. All can easily be performed by the average male chorus.
