tribute to the memory of the great re-
former in "A statement he has sent to
the Rev. Howard X. Gold. of the Ma

wrote:
''On tho occasion OF the tooth

the fact that tho world has. since

firm stand before his judges is brought
out by Professor j. II. G. Fritz. Dean
of Concordia Seminary of st. Louis.
