Early American Bibles

The first Bible printed in the
United States was the John Elio1
translation in the Massachusetts
Indian language, published in Bos
ton in the year 1868.
Eighty years later another Bible
issued from the American press
and this time German Bible fol
! lowing the translation of Dr. Mar
tin Luther. This appeared from
the press of Christopher Saur. a ma
tive of Germany, who came to
America in 1924. Christopher Saur
was deyoutly religious man, with
sincere interest in educating the
German Americans Of PENNSYLVANIA
among whom his lot was cast.
Bibles were then imported from
England and a tax of sixpence an
ounce was collected as duty. La ad-
dition, the expense of purchase by
an agent and transportation added
materially to the cost. To remedy
this Saur induced several German
Bible societies and publishing houses
to assist in spreading the gospel #n
Pennsylvania.
The interest aroused in Germany
by Saur'es communications bore
fruit in the gift By the Dunkards
{or Tunlers) in Germany Of a press
with type and also quantity of
boks. The task Of setting up this
press finally fell upon Saur, thsn a
preaching physician. having been
trained in German universities. In
1888 Saur began printing in Ger

There isn't going to be any further

the price will be just one-half what
it is today. In fact tags now cost

juy it because there will be abso-
Ately no further reduction in price
this year. They will cost just as
much in December as they did in
January. But after January 1 the

Mrs. Elizabeth w. Jones

Edgar Clyde Jones of the Medical
Corps Of the United States army;
Mary Edna and Pearl Katherine

With the exception of about five
years the whole of her married life
was spent in the home where she
closed her eyes in death. Her hus-
band preceded her to the spirit
world nearly 26 years ago. Their
married life was ideal and after his
death her affections were centsred
upon her children and grandchil-
dren. She was dutiful wife,
kind, affectionate, loving mother,
and consistent Christian woman.
Reared in the Lutheran faith from
childhood, early in Der yoang wom-
anhood, there being no church of
her early faith near, she united with
Eagleport, where she retained her

present Republican senator, Frank

choice of Ohio Republicans without

has refused to give any indication
of whether he would enter the con-

Vic Donahey enter the contest he
would have no opposition within

Sale OF Fireworks
While almost every city in the
state has laws which prevent the
sale of fireworks, villages and town
ships have been lax in passing such
laws and on almost every cross
road in the state, at many gasoline
filing stations, soft drink and lunch
stands along main travelled thor
oughfares, fireworks are being sold
this year. AS a result of this evas-
ion of the law, or rather the lack of
laws. discussion is rife at the pres
ent time which leads one to prophesy
that when the general assembly re-
turns a law will be enacted which
will prohibit the sale of fireworks
any place in Ohio. Danger from the
use of fireworks has been realized
for years and city council has passed
stringent laws prohibiting their
sale. Since these laws became eff.
fective there have been fewer
Fourth of July accidents. With
sales being conducted on the out
skirts of all cities. about the only
thing accomplished now is the loss
of the profits by the city merchants
and tax payers.

ciated with printing in Pennsyi-
yania
In 1899 through the Almanac
which he published ara also through
his newspaper, SaUr issued a pro
posal to print a German Bible. This
was for that day a major under
taking. requiring much more type
and paper than a printer would
have in stock Again assistance
came from Germany, wEole font
of type being presented TO Saur by
Dr.. Heinrich Luther, a type founder
at Fraukfort-in-the-Atain. The
Bible was completed in 1T43, the
title-page being printed IL black and
red type which was common in
many early printed books. Like the
Indian Bible this also was three
years in the press. Twelve hundred
copies were printed and the price
was placed at eighteen shillings.
For DR.. Heinrich Luther twelve
copies were prepared in special
binding and these were sent on the
ship The Queen of Hungary, which
fell into the hands of pirates
Finally, the Bibles, as DR.. Luther
himself wrote in his own copy,

Of Providence, after lapse OF two
years were released from the
bands Of robbers, and delivered un-
injured to the Luther Printing

copies 10 a number of German Ii
braries where they are for the most
part preserved to the present day

doubtedly unaware Of the appear

walls. There is little room left for
more men. Something has to be
done. and in the absence of ayaila-

cases of trustworthy prisoners and
giving them their freedom. The
question of housing criminals is one
of the most serious that confronts
