Before the Reformation
COLLECTION CONTAINS GERMAN
BIBLE PUBLISHED IN 1894.

Among the magnificent collection of
rare and early books belonging to c..
Fairfax Murray of New York city and
to be offered to the public beginning
December 10, are the Biblia Pauperum
(Bible of the POOR, printed in Ger
many between 1850 and 1470, and the
Biblia Sacra Germanica, printed at
Lubbock, 1894, in Low German The
latter book thus ante-dated by more
than quarter of century the ap-
pearance of Luther's version of the
New Testament, which was printed in
1922, and is a concrete refutation of
the claim that has been made at re-
cent Reformation celebrations that
Luther rediscovered the Bible.

MEMBERSHIP IN THIS NOBLE
SOCIETY is ADVOCATED FOR
ALL CATHOLICS - BENEFITS
MAY BE APPLIED TO THE DE-
PARTED.

The month Of November is dedicat-
ed by the Church to the souls in
Purgatory. Faithful Catholics the
world over are embracing with spe-
cial fervor during this month the
means which their spiritual Mother
suggests to insure the eternal well
fare of the departed Masses in un-
usually large number are being Of
fered, and prayers said. that the mem
bers of the Church suffering may be
loosed from their sins and enter
speedily into the joys of the Lord.
AS the work of the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith is becom-
ing better known In the Diocese of
st. Paul, and the benefits of MEM
bership more fully appreciated, ever
increasing numbers of Catholics are
furthering the interests Of their de-
parted loved ones by enrolling them
in this great mission aid organization
The worthiness of this form of char
ity can not be too strongly empha-
sized. In the first place, those de-

bership is taken participate in all the
spiritual privileges of the Society
The fruits of more than $4,000 Mass
es, offered annually by missionary
priests, are applied to deceased as
well as to living persons. The daily
prayers of over 10000 missionary Sis
ters ascend to Heaven in their be-
half, as do the prayers of countless
grateful souls who, through mission
ary effort, have come to enjoy the
blessings of the Catholic religion. In
a word, to give membership in the
Society to deceased relatives and
friends is to set at work in their in
terests the machinery of the entire
Catholic foreign missionary world
At the same time, too, that we ex-
ercise this form of charity toward
the faithful departed, we give sub
Estantial aid to Christ's apostolic army,
Waging holy warfare against the
forces of Satan in the fields afar. Of
ferings made for membership in the

Italian Catholics Rally
THEY HASTEN TO THE DEFENSE
OF THEIR COUNTRY IN IT'S
HOUR OF PERIL-ALL PARTIES
ARE UNITED IN THE COMMON
CAUSE.

Italy's supreme hour of trial has
come. 1t has brought about unity
of national and patriotic feeling such
as never existed before. Even
amongst the extreme Socialists, who
alone of all the political parties here
seem officially, through their organ,
"Avanti," to refuse to recognize their
duty to their country, there are now
men who, aroused by the sudden
shock caused by the invasion by the
foe, are urging loyal cooperation
with the government and the army
AS soon as they realized the gravity
of the crisis Catholics, of course,
whose intense loyalty has already
been gratefully acknowledged by the
government, rallied to it's support
with, if possible, more enthusiasm
than before. Cardinals, archbishops
and bishops have issued pastorals
urging all Italians to be united in
their efforts to drive back the in
vader; and the Catholic associations
have circulated earnest appeals to
the same effect. The "Osservatore
Romano" the semi-official organ of
the Vatican, strongly supports this
Catholic attitude of answering de-
voticn to country as Christian duty.
Premier Orlando has formed a
coalition ministry in which all par
ties, with the exception of the ex-
treme Socialists, are included. Signor
Media, the well-known Catholic mem.
Der of the late Boselli cabinet, is a
member of the new one, the feeling of
resentment caused by Baron Sonnino' q
unjust criticism of the Pope's peace
note having been cast aside in view
of the imperative necessity of patri.
otic unity in this hour of national
peril.

THIRD TIME
WAS CHARM
Two Lee County Men Had Their
Exemption Papers Looked
Over Three Different
Times.

After having their claims investi-
gated on three different occasions
and after having gone through two
reversals, two Lee county boys have
at last been granted exemption from
military service, says the Ft. Madi-
son Democrat. They are George
Howard Toole Of FIT. Madison and
John C. Meister, Jr... of Keokuk.
Both claimed dependents as means
Of exemption.
When the claims Of the two men
came to the attention of the local
board for the first time5 exemptions
were granted them. It being the
law, however, that all claims for
exemption on the grounds of de-
tendency be appealed to the district
board. that body had chance to
look over the claims again and after
doing SO, reversed the decision Of the
local board. Then the local board
took the matter up with the district
members again, knowing more of the
true conditions than did the men on
that board, and now comes the an
nouncem ent that the men have fin
ally been declared exempt. For the
first time now in several months they
