“[The Lutheran Witness] has done more to build up an intelligent Synod-conscious and mission-conscious laity, one able to comprehend the position of the Church and its power and possibilities in the program of the world, than any program of lectures could ever do. We feel that some of the credit for healthy growth in church and Communion attendance and in finances is due to the reading of our fine official papers. . . . It costs only three cents a copy, but only eternity will show how much it is worth.” – The Lutheran Witness, June 25, 1940
