THE LUTHERAN QuADRE.cEN1ENARv

holds the Chair of Church History the Baptist Theo-
ea SEMINARY at Crozler Pa in recent work expresses
views that run counter to those usually obtaining among
Protesants regarding Luther and the Reformation
The Reformation says Professor vedder was not a
great ethical force Instead of this ethical revolution
Luther offered novelties in doctrne-a theological reform
not an ethical"
Again he says

OF Luther himself, Professor Vedder writes:

us, did not much know that was Bible until
he found one in the Erfurt Library, must have taken
great pains to keep himself state of
And again:
THE common impression that Luther invented German
Hymnology is utterly wrong"
Professor Vedder speaks follows of Luther as a
scholar:

neither philosopher heologian no time of his
life did he show himself capable of working out svs

These expressions vedder show the status

minds of critical Protestant historians Is it to be

the glory of the Divine Lord But this consdera

With this issue, the Irish Standard enters upon the
thrtythrd year career. To have lived through

vorabe attention and comment of the Catholic press
throughout the country.
In relation to Irish affairs, political as we'll as general
we challenge comparison of service that any
other paper i'll the country We believe matter of
TACT hat we have presented all phases of Irish political
news and discussion with completeness balance that
mas not been achieved by other publication America
Edltoraly we have tried to elucdate arguments
that have been by proponents of the
national policies principal purpose being keep our
readers informed regarding the discussion
rather than unduy to emphasize our own opinions on the
subjects in controversy.
In this it is we'll to remind thoso who
inclined to criticize that nasmuch ais America is now
oegerent nation regard her interests as paramount
to all other political civil considerations We intend
first to do duty toward own country as we feel
convinced that the largest issue at stake in human
aars is wrapped in her destiny The situation calls

we expect to continue the fight for American until
the menace of Hohenzollernism is laid low This basic
proposition will to those who are in.

IDoLATRY OF PROPERTY.

Speaking at the services of dedication of the Knights
OF Columbus building at Camp Pike Arkansas the Bishop
of Little Rock, Rt Rev. John B. Norris emphasizes this
special providence of the war:
1T will recall us from that doatry of property which
fast taking possession the land and was undoubt
eddy threatening to become the dangerous menace
to liberty Our material had almost led us to
point where wealth and pleasure had become our GODS
Providence has taught in this that we have es
tiny higher than these things that the realization of ones
life is to be found only in perfect compliance with duty
first, towards Cod then towards country and lastly
towards ourselves"

A MALICIOUS AND MENDAcIous MONITOR.

The Christian Science Montor-tat lofty preentious
ana pedantlc exponent of religious camouhage-has
aligned itself with the Menace and the Watsonian pub
cations in reference to matters Catholic prggsh and
Pecksnlan purifier of public morals exhausted eyerv
contemplate means IN Its power to muckrake
versy with reference to the recreation and welfare work
OF the soldiers between the asons and the KNIGHTS
OF Columbus In spite of the fact that the representative
heads OF both these organizations have patrocaly dis
claimed and denounced any Indicative attempts in this
direction this Christian CO patriotic G.? publication
has neglected to emblazon and emphasize no incident
however trivial and obscure, that tend to kinde
and foster quarrel between these of Amer
lean citizenry.
The sneaking and hypocrtcal Monitor does not manu-
factre the fuel intended perncious and highly
unpatrotic fire, but it assemblies stuff and places it
conspicuousy to attract the attention of the public
The original sources from which this derived
is usually some obscure fraternity publication whose range
OF publicity is small, whose emanatons generally
excite as much notice the chpng sparrow on the
housetop These jawpngs the alert, broadgauged and
patriotic editor of the Monitor undertakes assemblies and
sets on the table for the qualification his supposedly
refined and cultured patrons We know of many them
who do not relish this unpaatable of scraps No
patriotic citizen can in this period of the national and
world Crisis, do otherwise than condemn this insidous
effort to the spirit of religious bgotry for that is
all there is to the matter when sifted to the bottom
The Monitor moreover, does not hesitate resort to
caumny and lying to make out it's case not, however
making these caumnies and falsehoods it's own but quot
from the above referred to- statements that
every grammar school boy knows be erroneous and
ase If the Monitor does not know that these
false then it admits ignorance the grossest and
most cupable character If it does they are wrong
md yet persists in offering them readers as truth
hen it bellies the basic principle upon which it relies for
is existence the truth shall make free. The latter
the worse horn of the dilemma and is the which
he Monitor must choose-a position in which it is at
america variance with the intelligent patriotic senti
nent of the nation. So far afed what it would like
pose being, has the blind and perverse hatred
catholicism led the SNUG and mendacious Monitor.

LACKS GOVERNMENT FORCE.

Kentucky IrishAmerican The conference of the Sim
Fein party which held in Dublin, decided to estab
fish provisional government without delay consti
tuon also provisional for the purpose of securing
national recognition of Ireland independent republic
Now while we have dearer wish than to the dream
of the Sim Fein party realized at the time
not close to the fact that the proposed provisional
government will be without power to enforce it's DEGREES
or compel obedience and will have international stand
ing whatever, and therefore hope any assist
ance from any of the great nations Indeed, not of
the bell1gerent powers is in position where could
champion Irelands defined by
Fein for each and all of them have within boun-
dartes natonaes which they rule with hand
which are as much entitled to Independent existence
is Ireland Nothing, therefore, is expected from
them. Nay more, believe that If England herself
were willing to submit Ireands to the peace confer
ence, neither her allies her enemies would permit
because would open the doors the many natonates
within their borders which demand independence
these facts may be not of place what can
he Sim Fen party hope to accomplish by the establish.
