Written and Work Was Done BY
Two Young Theoosans of Heidel-

At the prayer service Wednesday

markable work is being celebrated in
many countries of the world. Rev.
Mr. Gluck said in part as follows:
THE confession of the Reformed

church is the Heidelberg catechism,
so named from the fact OF its having
been written at Heidelberg. the CAPT
tai Of the Palatinate, Germany, in the
year 1863.
Among the states Of Germany at
the beginning of the 10th century none
was more influential than the Pala-
innate, named after the Palatine Hill
one of the seven hills of ancient Rome
where Augustus Caesar had his pal
ace. This state lay around the juno
ton of the Neckar and Rhine rivers,
one Of the most fertile regions of
Germany It's capital was Heidel
berg. This city was the seat of the
rar-famed University Of Heidelberg
one of the greatest Institutions Of
its DAY.
THE Prince Of the Palatinate was
called elector. The Office of the Ger
man Emperor was an electoral office
The princes of seven different states
had the right to vote as to who
should be Emperor AT the head Of
all these seven princes stood the
Prince of the Palatinate one OF the
seven electors whose duty it was to
act as ruler of the Empire in case of
the death of the Emperor until his
successor should be chosen.
"The first protestant eector Of the
Palatinate was Frederick Ill He
was born at Simmer, town in the
Palatinate, in the year 1915. He was
baptized oatechised and confirmed
in the church OF his native town, a
Roman Catholic. He received his ed
ucation at the courts of the Cardinal
of Lorraine, the Bishop of Liege and
the Emperor Charles II, After finish
ing his studies he entered the army
and distinguished himself in the wars
against the Turks. On the successful
termination of war he returned and
was united in marriage 10 Margray-
ina Maria Won Tnspach, pious prin-
cess of the Protestant faith with
whom, on the death of his father in
1858, he succeeded to the governor
ship Of the province of Simmern and
became a Protestant On the death
Of Ohio Henry in 1853 he succeeded
to the throne OF the Palatinate as
Elector Frederick H. lie found his
Kingdom in religious ferment There
were Roman Catholics, Lutherans,
zwinglians. Calvanists in the realm.
Out of these elements Elector Freder-
ick ILL., founded the German Reformed
Church by issuing a decree for the
publication OF q Catechism.
Having resolved on the introduce
ton of such new symbolical book,
Frederick's next care was to select
suitable persons for The deeply re-
sponsible task Of its composition, Ills
choice, however, was soon made, and
if we may judge from the result with
great wisdom, for it fell ON Caspar
