Luther and the Bible


Staupitz heartily believed in it, and
made it an important part of the re-
quirement in the theological course
of the Erfurt monastery. A red
leather copy Of the Vulgate was put
into Luthers hands soon after he en-
tered the convent, and he studied 1t
with such diligence that he knew it,
SO he says, from cover to cover and
could tell exactly where every passage
was to be found.
At the time he took up his work in
Whittenberg it was a small and mean
town of some 5000 inhabitants. 1t was
walled and somewhat strongly forti-
fled. and the, elector, who was an in
defatigable builder, had beautified it
with a number of imposing structures;
but it still resembled a poor village
rather than a city, and the contrast
with Erfuret was extreme. The coun-
try moreover, was fiat and sandy, very
unlike the beautiful Thuringian hills,
from which Luther had come. His
first impressions were distinctly un-
favorable. He wondered why univer-
sity should have been established in
so unpromising a place. and he was
sure it was due to the sins of the early
settlers that they were cursed with
such land. He found the people cold
and inhospitable as well as ignorant
and boorish. The place lay, he thought
on the very edge of civilization, and
a few miles to the north and east
would have meant pure barbarism.
But it was here that he made his
home for the rest Of his life, and 1t
was here that the Reformation had its
birth.-The Century.

Allen, of West Petersham, gave up
Minnie, his wife, and his trusty bar

After all, however, Houghton got the
worst of it, for he could not keep Mrs.

Mr.. Perkins expressed the opinion,
judging from the reception of the idea
in Florida, that the Washington com
mercial organizations would do we'll to
lay the plan before similar organiza-
tons in this country and South Ameri-

The original suggestion that the
States establish permanent exposition
buildings at Washington was made
about twenty-five years ago by Wash
ington newspaper man. In 1897 the
idea was revived by Louis P. Shoe
maker, who had a bill introduced in
Congress to set aside tract Of land
for the purpose. Since then little has
been done seriously to promote the
project.
Both the, Board of Trade and the
Chamber of Commerce are now ex-
pected to devise plans for presenting
the project to the States and foreign
countries. The Board of Trade has
Endorsed it, and E. G. Graham, a d.
rector of the Chamber of Commerce,
has recommended that the plan be
coupled with the movement to have a
celebration in Washington at the open
ing Of the Panama Canal. His sug-
gestion received favorable action by
the Chamber.

Luther's studies at the university
embraced the writings of the church
fathers, and particularly the Bible,
to which he was becoming more and
more attached. He tells us that it
was in his goth year that he first saw
complete copy of the Scriptures in
the university library at Urfurt. He
had hitherto supposed that they en-
braced only the lessons read in the
public services, and was delighted to
find much that was quite unfamiliar
to him. His ignorance, it may be re-
marked, though not exceptional, was
his own fault. The notion that Bible
reading was frowned upon by the &C.
clesiastical authorities of that age is
quite ,unfounded. To be sure, it was
not considered part of a Christians
duty, as 1t is in many Protestant
churches, and few homes possessed
copy of the Scriptures; but they were
read regularly in church, and their
study was no more prohibited to uni
versity students of that day than to
those of this, and was propably as
little practiced by most of them as
now.
AS to Bible study, the opinion of
the theological professors of Effort
was divided. Some favored it, ascrib-
ing to Biblical writer's an authority
superior to the fathers and to the
schoolmen; others advised against
it, because all that was of value in
the Bible could be found in the writ
ings of the theologians, and its study
was apt to foster pride and promote
seditious and revolutionary spirit

The rapid growth of the cities in

forced municipalities to give an unus

increasing measure of attention. Sta

An exhaustive investigation into wa
terworks, gas works and electric light
plants was made by the bureau of Ia
Dor some time ago, and it was found
that there were 1877 municipal wa
terworks in the United States as
against 1889 private plants. But there
were only fourteen municipal gas
works as against 951 private. There
were AGO municipal electric light
plants as aginst s2,527 sprivate. NUM-
cipal sownership is thus shown to ap-
ply much more frequently to water
works than sto other public sutilities.
Since the report of the bureau of labor
much data has been collected by the
government on cities. The trend Of
this, SO far as municipal ownership is
concerned, is to show that it is be-
coming more common, especially in
the large cities. All but thirty eight
cities having over 100000 population
owned their own water plants at the
beginning of 1907.
Municipal ownership has existed in
this country for the earliest stages of
the Republic. In 1910 there were five
water plants publicly owned. Twenty
years later, this had increased to nine.
In 1910, there were twenty-three water
works municipality owned, and in 1850,
thirty-three. By 1870, the number of
waterworks under municipal owner
ship was lie, or AT per cent of all the
plants in the country. In 1880 the num-
Der was 293; in 1890, SOC; in 1896,
1890, and in 1899, 1887. In 1896 the
number of water works owned by the
municipalities exceeded the number
owned privately. Since then the per-
centage Of municipal plants has been
growing.
New York took hold early of mum
icipal ownership. That city was first
supplied with water by private COM
pany in 1776. But in 1912, it put into
operation it's own municipal works.
CChicago was supplied with water by
a company in 1910 but built its own
works in 1854. Buffalo got municipal
ownership of water works In 1868 and
Cincinnati in 1889. Across the line in
Canada, there was early agitation Of
municipal ownership. The city of To
ronto bought the works there in 1873.
In Great Britain and Ireland, munich
pal ownership of water plants is the
general rule. Water works were in
troduced by the municipality Of Lon
don in 1888.
Greater London for many years was
served by eight private companies.
These date all the way from 1913 to
1922. After years of agitation for
municipal ownership of the water sys-
tenn, and in 1904 the transfer was
made.
Municipal ownership of sewerage
plants is now almost universal. Nun.

In 1901 there were only sixteen water
works in the United States, yet one of
these was owned by the municipality

pany established plant at Boston.
Richmond, Va, was the first city In
this country to own it's own gas plant,

In practice, municipal ownership is
applied only to the retention by the
municipality of such public utilities as
water works, electric light, and power
plants, gas plants, telephone compan-
les and transit systems. Under the
plan of private ownership, such proper
ties are owned by public utility corpor-
atoms. In theory, the business of sup
plying water to city or town, of sup
plying gas or light or power, telephone
service or street car transportation, is
or tends to be a monopoly. 1t has been
found in practice, with such utilities
and needs of the public can better be
furnished from one source than from
two or three or half dozen. Hence,
every municipality of importance
sooner or later has to- settle whether
it will have it's corporations or wheth-
er it will take hold itself and own its
public utilities instead of granting
franchises to private concerns.
