LUTHER IN ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The interesting announcement is made
by the Lutheran Library association Or
ganized recently in Chicago, that it will
not only supply church and Sunday school
libraries with books of Lutheran authors,
in English but it has undertaken to pub
1ish Luthers volurainous writings in the
English language Hitherto the works Of
Luther in full have only appeared in Ger
man and in Latin. A comparatively small
portion of them have been translated into
English, while Calvin's works. have been
published in English for many years: In
view Of the fact that the rising genera
ton Of Scandinavian Lutherans in: this
country are using the English language
increasingly and ultimately that language
is likely to take the place of Scandinavian
languages largely the publication of an
English edition of Luther's works is
deemed advisable. Many persons, not
I.utherans would like to read Luther in
English. In the United States there are
1900 pastors, 10000 adherents of the
Evangelical Lutheran church, with 1875 COL
leges and academies and $50 periodicals.

difference. The plan met with criticism
the world over. 1t was declared so radi-
cal change so soon after the launching
of the company was a reflection upon the
ability Of the men who drew the original
plans The wisdom Of placing an addi-
tional fixed annual charge Of $12,500,000
upon the company was questioned. The
plan was fundamentally wrong. Yet such
was the power and prestige of the house
back Of it that it went thru against all
opposition. This was the beginning of the
lack Of confidence. ..s.s
The real decline in stocks began when
the court handed down the decision in
the Northern Securities case which
showed that there were limits to what
even the kings Of finance could do, and
since then the influences for decline have
been many. But the first great blow at
confidence was struck when the public
began to see that the men who held the
trusteeships for the smaller investors
were managing the affairs of the country's
greatest corporation for their own pur-
poses. The bond conversion plan of the
steel corporation had to go thru, not be-
cause it was necessary, not because it was
good finance, but primarily because there
was 10000, 900 in commissions in it for
the big house handling the deal. Then
the small investor began to ask himself
what sort of show he stood in such a
company. And instances like this are
numerous. Yet when the stock market
declines we have much Of the prospect OF
tight money to- Gomez and Of other causes
that are undoubtedly factors in the case
but we hear little of the great abuse OF
confidence that accompanied the recent
exploitation Of the many great schemes
of combination and consolidation.
