At the i of 18 , however , he had written"n Gri grammar , a task more laborious by than at the present day , for then the sU of the dead languages had just been vlved by the humanists , nnd there bar was a good Greek grammar extant. On celvl'ig the degree of Master of Arts ho v entitled to lecture at the University of T blngen , where he was holding forth. Th of a youth not out ot his teens rending bi classic authors as Virgil , Terence , Clc nnd Ltvltis with a class of pupils ! When he arrived at the University Wittenberg this scat of learning had j sprung Into prominence some five ycnr fore. Founded in the year 1502 by thu El tor of Saxonv , It probably has no equal the world , and during all the ages , for sudden a rso In fame. Luther had nrrlr there In 1C08. Ten years Inter Mclnnchtl took the chair of the Greek. The name Luther had attracted n great number stiidc"Is to Wittenberg. Uut while the Int was the great center of attraction , .moll to itudents ot theology , Molancbthoii v responsible for tl.o ImnHnsa throng ot si as wished to satisfy tholr thlist for n 1 oral education.

As to the part he played in the gr drama of the reformation , It was a hlgl Important one ; Inferior > o that only of I Illustrious reformer himself. There Is denying tbo fact that his was not nn her talth , like that of Luther , who boldly , the name of the Lord Sabaoth , defied the powers terrestrial ard 'Infernal. He v able to muster sufficient courage In flghtl the enemy only when he saw himself si rounded by Luther and other great acti In the cause. Still , there can bo no doi that he helped along the cause to on i traordlnary degree. The books and treatl : ho wrote defending' ' the leformcr In a m , terly manner must be highly estimated , had , In time , become professor of theolc and a brilliant e\pound r of the saving d < trlnes which Luther had begun to proclal Ho > is the author jof the first dogmatics sued In the Lutheran church called "L theologlol. " He assisted Luther In lender ! the bible into the 'vernacular. His coun was of great help to him and always 1 been highly valued. The crowning worlr of Melanchthon , ho ever , was accomplished at Augsburg In t ever memorable year 1530. Charles V , ru of Spain , the Netherlands , the Germ states and of America , was presiding at Brand diet he had convened at that cl The pope had sent an ablegatc and"-many high prelate of the church was prese : A vast throng ot nobility crowded the sple did hall.1 Here tlic-followers of Luther we to glv6 ( account J oi j their tencMngs a launch tholrl gricvanccs-n Here , then , t rtrat publl61coflfessloa of HiIMProtestants ; "Protesters , " Was' read ? both iu * Latin a German.4t wastile "Augsburg uoiifcssloi a document that created a stir In all Chr tendom , a document that was as thorou as It was concise and as plain as It was pi found , a document that was Eubsequenl copied from extensively 'by ' other Protesta bodies , and which tothn present day Is t first and foremost confession of the Luther church in all lands. And the author of was 'Melanchthon , though Luther had help draw up some articles of faith before th served as a moJel for It. Luther was hlgli pleased with the document and allowed It remain Intact. The Roman prelates assembled at Auf : jurg , setting up what purported to be refutation of the public profession and co 'csElon ot the "Lutheran heretics , " Mclanc thoii at once proceeded to write an "Apoto of the Augsburg Confession , " which. Is i elaborate work , showing how well * re Melanchthon was even with respect to tli ologlcal literature and revealing eminc exegetlcal as well as po'tmilc qualities. Tl : apology served and btlll does serve aa i exposition of the "confession" It so ably d 'ends. ' THEIRS A LOVELY FRIENDSHIP. Luther and Melanchthon were stan rlends from the time they first met , 618. Each was enamored with ths otlu The later. In the year Just named , wro i Greek poem In praise of the * former. T rlcndshlp of these two men presents ovely picture. It was but strengthen vhun they had both entered the state natrlmony. Whenever a little leisure tlr could bo eked out of their ever-busy hou hqy would spend It In Joyful company wl no another. Very often Melanchthon cou lie seen at Luther's house , the old clolstc enjoying the music played and chant hero. Melanchthon might never have found lolpnieet but for Luther. As It was , tl alter did all the courting for ha ! bashf rleml , The mayor ot the town , of tl lame of Krapp , had n daughter whom t ! oformer looked upon ns a good match f ils learned friend , whose health had bei ill the worse for keeping bachelor's he or awhile.

A dollar ten cents seems an odd price for a shirt and lots of people think we ought Lo sell 'em for a dollar straight. We sell shirts for a dollar straight , too.
