Forward Into the New Century PROGRESS Is Not Progress... unless it be in tbe right direction! As Your Publishing House moves for¬ ward into ever greater fields of service, it is deeply conscious that the measure of its service will always be its fidelity to the unchanging Word. The faithful proclamation of that Word by means of the miracle of printing is the only direc¬ tion along which advancement can be PROGRESS! As a token of our keen awareness of this our important purpose as well as a pledge of our continued and unswerving loyalty to the aims which have been ours for three-quarters of a century, we are happy to present on this page a re¬ production of the Concordia emblem which for years to come will be the hall¬ mark of all Concordia publications. Appropriately, its Lqtin inscription continues to proclaim the imperishable truth: “The Word of the Lord endureth forever.” Sending forth that unchang¬ ing Word as a torch to light the way for a darkening world will always be the message of our emblem and the all- absorbing purpose of our ministry. The world into which Concordia Pub¬ lishing House was born more than seventy-eight years ago has crashed and is gone, irretrievably gone; and a new world is even now beginning to dawn on the far horizon. But the WORD which “endureth forever” and to whose procla¬ mation we are dedicated will bridge the old world with the new. That death¬ less Word we shall continue to pro¬ claim . . . God helping us . . through¬ out the years to come. In that direc¬ tion shall lie our PROGRESS! (Eottrorbta Publishing lions? 3558 South Jefferson Avenue Saint Louis 18, Missouri
