BISHOP coRBETT's
PASTORAL LETTER
An Able Review of Many Subjects o
General Public Interest.

We have received through his secre-
tary, Rev. John P. Funk, copy of
the pastoral letter of Rt. Rev. Timothy
Corbett, bishop of Crookston, compris-
ing a fifteen-page leaf1et of magazine
size, of neat appearance. Bishop Cor
bett deals with many of the basic
problems of religion and philosophy,
such as materialism and its effects.
He also discusses private interpreta-
ton of the Bible, the Luther quarter
centenary, the remedies of the church
of the laity in the work of the church.
All of these subjects are made the
subject of careful, analytical and con-
structive criticism, which is couched
in forceful and vigorous language. We
give below his scathing condemnation
of Martin Luther and his Reform:
Professionalism strongly endeavors, at
present, to revivify the memory of it's
founder on this his fourth centenary,
Notwithstanding the odious conclusions
of the Investigations of modern schol-
ars relative to his low vulgarity, OBJ
scenity and immortality. Genuine his
tory depicts Martin Luther, the father
of professionalism, as a vow-breaker, a
flatterer of the senses, a wine bibber,
slave to shameful excuses and an
individual whose speech betrayed a
corrupt heart. Falsely posing as a d.
vine messenger, this pretended reform
er denounced good works and pro.
claimed that faith alone justified man,
which doctrine leads mortals to open
immortality. St. James expressly states
that even as the body without the
spirit is dead, so also faith without
works is dead" Though called the
emancipation of free thought, Luther
denied the freedom of the human will,
preached the Interpretation of the
Bible by individual reason and under
took to even defend sin. "Lie brave
ly. something will always stick" was
Luther's utterance. Thus did this re-
bel]ious man proceed from error to
error in his indomitable pride and
audacity, and unwarranted innovations.
Nov 1 beseech you, brethren, to
mark them who make dissensions and
offenses contrary to the doctrines
which you have learned, and to avoid
them. For they that are such serve
not Christ our Lord, but their own
belly; and by pleasing speeches and
good words seduce the hearts of the
innocent" says St. Paul. His deeds,
words, reckless inconsistency, his pres
entation Of religious ideas opposed to
divine law, completely disqualified him
as religious teacher and as having
no commission from God to found a
new religion and guide immortal souls
in the paramount work of eternal sal
walton.

on to assist by reporting to the near

The effect OF the regulations is to
create all the local boards into judi

a formal notice OF not less than three
nor more than seven days served on
the registrant, directing him TO present
such evidence as he may care TO sub

follow the present method and require
all proof to be submitted IN affidavit
form.
Method OF summoning.
A local board may summon any
many who may be idle or non-pro-
ductively employed within It's terri

In the printed regulations issued
no additional employments are placed

Local and district boards are cautioned
not to extend the list OF non-produetive
employments without specific authorl-
ty from the war department.
Reasonable Excuses.
Reasonable excuses for Idleness Oh
non-productive employment must be
considered under the following heads:
First. sickness; second, reasonable

temporary absences are hanitual and
frequent. shall not be considered as
idleness.
Another phase to be considered by
local board is whether there are COM
polling domestic circumstances that
would not permit change Of employ
ment by a registrant without disp1o-
portionate hardship to his dependents
or whether a change from non-pro-
ductive to a productive employment or
occupation would necessitate the re-
moval of the registrant from his place
Of residence, causing hardship to his
family.

Here Is an appeal made by a man,
upon whom rests the great responsible
ity Of assisting in providing food for
the allies and the soldiers at the front,
who are fighting the battles In mud
and blood. It cannot be ignored. At
