Martin Luther and Catherine Won Bora

The most.taiked.of man In Europe
in 1926 fell in love with nun. He
himself was former monk. The man
was Martin Luther, the famous re-
former, who had declared his indie
pendence of the churchly customs Of
the day; and who not only placed the
Bible into the hands Of the plain peo-
pie, but was the founder of the Protes.
tant creed in Germany.
Luther. after casting loose from the
established church. continued to
preach his doctrines toften at risk of
his life) and to gain new converts by
the thousands. Among these converts
was n pretty nun named Catherine
Won Bora. Catherine, while very young,
had entered convent near Grimma,
Germany. News Of Luther's teachings
reached her and she was soon won
over to his way of thinking in regard
to religious matters. She went 80 far
as to convince eight other nuns that
Luther's opinions were right. Then
the nine women decided to give up
convent life. But to make such a de.
cision and to act upon It were two
quite different things In her perplex-
ity Catherine wrote to Luther for aid.
Luther was touched by her appeal.
Through the help OF friend he man
aged to get Catherine and her eight
friends out of the convent one night
in 1923. The es.
Sape cape of the nine
the Convent nuns caused a
great sensation. Now that they were
freed from the convent. Luther did not
quite know how to dispose of them.
He prevailed upon the relatives OF
some to take them into their homes
and he advised others to marry. But
Catherine was not so easily settled in
life. She was pretty, and only "a
years old She was also what would
now be called a new woman" She
did not relish the idea of being mar
ried out of hand to any man her rela
tives might chance to select for her
Moreover. she had secretly fallen In
love with Luther himself. Wise as the
reformer was, he had not the wit tc
see this. SO he proposed to her thai
she marry one OF his friends. She re
fused in disgust. He suggested an
other friend; then another. She still
refused. AT length In despair M
asked her to name some man she wal

the astonished Luther himself.
Luther, though surprised, liked thu

Why We Succeed

Then these men in conference work
out the campaigns of our clients. Meth
DDS, plans and copy-all the problems of
selling and advertising-are all decided
here
Each brings to bear wealth of exper-
fence. Each one contributes ideas. And
they do not finish until the campaign ap-
pears to be irresistible.
That is why we succeed. That is why
we have grown, through the growth OF
our clients, to our present enormous pro-
portions.
Thus we make one dollar, often, do
the work of ten. Thus we develop, for
every client, all of his possibilities.
Back of these men we employ more
than 200 people, each one of them skilled
in some department of advertising.
