HIS DEFENSE OF LUTHER.
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 <

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

a document that created a stir In all Chr

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

pleased with the document and allowed It

The Roman prelates assembled at Auf

refutation of the public profession and co
'csElon ot the "Lutheran heretics , " Mclanc
thoii at once proceeded to write an "Apoto

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

THEIRS A LOVELY FRIENDSHIP.

Melanchthon might never have found

Make up the stories ? Why yes , to b

"That Is , for Instance , a mall carrlei

Tell the truth ; It Is more fascinating thai

When you write an advertisement , try an

Tell them an plainly ns possible wlthou

A Safe Practice.
We sell shirts us low as 360 for good ones , and we sell
the best white shirt made for a dollar ten cents. When
we say the best shirt made we mean that there arc no
better materials in any shirt , no better workmanship , no
better fit , no more wear. We have crowded all the
goodness into this shirt that it is possible to crowd into
any shirt , as much as is crowded into those usually sold at
$1.75 , Finest New York mills muslin , best 2300 linen ,
Strongest gussets , most reinforcements , best bosoms , best
collar bands , best cuff bands , best seams. 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. These are not worth as
much as our best shirts not within ten cents. Our prices
on white shirts arc. 35C , 500 and 700 for unlaundered.and
the laundered are 500 , 750 , $1.00 and st.io. Grading
shirts by dimes and nicklos is not a common practice , but
it's a good safe practice for shirt b uyers. It's a practice
that prevents The Nebraska customers from being over *
charged ,
IS LIKE A GOOD TEMPER , "IT SHEDS A
BRIGHTNESS EVERYWHERE.
