SHOW LEAF OF
VALUABLE Bible
Page From Gutenberg Edi-
ton Displayed at Library.

One of the most valuable of the
public library treasures is a leaf
from the original Gutenberg Bible,
printed during the years of 1850 and
1855, now on display in the main
room Of the Central library.
The page is kept in one of the
library vaults during most of the
year, but is taken out at Christmas
time to be displayed.
The famous Gutenberg Bible is
possibly the earliest and certainly
the most precious piece of printing
in the world. The honor of the
discovery of movable metal types
has been by general consent award
ed to a German, one Johannes
Gutenberg, and the Bible was the
first important effort of the great
inventor.
Fully five years were consumed in
the printing of the book.
The first Gutenberg Bible to come
to this country is the copy now in
the New York Public Library, pur-
chased in London by the proxy Of
James Lennox in 1847 Lenox had
instructed his agent, without fixing
any limit, to buy the book which
was coming up for auction. The
Bible was purchased for him at the
then mad price" of 500 pounds
(around $4,000. Lenox was so in
furiated he was tempted to repudi-
ate the transaction, but finally he
took the book home and lived to
cherish it as a rare bargain and
the chief ornament of his library.
Sixty-four years later it brought
$4,000.
The single page which the library
here owns bears a selection from the
book of Numbers, verses 16 and II,
describing the earthquake and fire
invoked by Moses. This invaluable
page will be shown in a case in the
delivery room until after Christ
mas.

Set Aside by Leslie
The day, known as Indiana day,

ton by Governor Harry G. Leslie.
The executives statement reads:
"A birthday anniversary always is
an event IN the life of anyone. It
should be much more important
event in the life of state. On
Dec. II, 1916, the state of Indiana
was admitted to the Union and
the new state at once became the
mecca for those who desired a
chance in life.
Since admission, Indiana has
taken front rank in the industrial
and political life of the nation. Her
sons and daughters have brought
her renown in all lines of human
activity. 1t is entirely proper that
we should stop to emphasize the
place in our national life that In
diana occupies"
