Wanda, Mankato, Sleepy Eye
And New Ulm Uncover
Ancient Volumes

The Gazette started something
when it published the article about
a month ago concerning Rev. w,
Henry Westby's Bible printed in
l1772. At first a local old book con-
test was started, Rev. E. A. Birk-
holz, bringing to public notice a
Concordance of the Bible" prin-
ted in 1896. Since then the sport
had spread through Southwestern
Minnesota.
This week two more Bibles each
lower down the scale of years than
the previous uncoveries were add
ed to the gradually lengthening
list. New Ulm produced its Sec
ond contribution to the --latest in
religious controversies" with Hen
ry N. Somsen's 1852 tome, but
nearby CORTLAND retaliated with a
1862 Bible owned by Rev. Henry
Stassen. The book, 274 years old,
is the oldest yet discovered.
Sleepy Eye was the first to start
with Bible published in 1857 and
Wanda followed with a German
Bible printed in 1895 and owned
by Rev. William j. Langholz. The
volume was presented to the Rev
Langholz by his grandfather
Mankato then entered the competi-
ton with a Bible belonging to
Rev. R. o. Aga, pastor of Beth
lehem Lutheran church there and
former pastor of the Redwood
Falls English Lutheran church
This book was printed in Germany
in 1761.
The debate over the oldest re-
ligious book; in this part of the
state reached New Ulm last week,
New Ulm going into first place
with a volume which came off the
press in Nuremburg, Germany
home of Johannes Gutenberg, in
ventor of movable type, in 1854
The $50 year old prayer book is
the property of F. B. Blauert, in
structor in St. Paul's Lutheran
school and was given to him by
his grandfather.
! Each time another volume is un.
covered Redwood Falls is giver
credit as the originator of the con.
test but no mention is made Of
Rev. BirkholZ' Concordance"
which rightfully places Redwood
Falls in fifth place in the rank Of
antiquity Of the books. Only Rev
Westby's Bible is mentioned.
