LUTHERS LIFE M —•— I Another Chapter Concerning Life of Martin Luther is Contributed. STORY OF MARRIAGE — And Home Life That Followed— Gathering Place for Students of Time. Children's voices and the merry sound of their romping feet echoed through the monastery halls. The monk had married a nun, and they were living in the monastery. The other monks had long since gone. Many of them had married too. Ihe 1 monastery had become a home. Ihe monk was a father; the nun a pure, good mother. Life was normal, Keiligion had licensed it, not warped it. Martin Luther had married Katherine von Bora.

It all came about in the course of events. When Luther found the true Gospel of faith and grace, the old idea of celibacy being holier than marriage disappeared. Luther did not marry at once ;he did not find marriage holier in order to marry. He advised many others to marry and explained his views many times before that happened. Nothing caused a greater sensati.m than Luther’s marriage. But it was worth while to transform a monastry into a home. That laid the foundation for the protestant parsonage, from which a long line of the most distinguished servants of mankind have come. That was a busy home, too. Luther toiled incessantly lecturing, writing, preaching, earing for the church and building it up on the pure gospel. Katherine managed the home and property with discretion and success. It was not easy to do. Luther was generous in spending and giving. His home was the place many broken and discouraged men found shelter and inspiration. Young students, too. shared its hospitality, and the inevitable cousins and sister’s sons who needed help came and sliarid in its genial good cheer. The table was one to be rememberI ed. Luther, his great face wreathed | in smiles or his fine eyes flashing wi'h I interest and enthusiasm, sat at the head of the Jong line of students, guests, relatives and children down to his Katie at the foot. Awkward silence was unknown there. Some one always had something to say. It was a university education to sit there. Every topic was discussed. The discussion was enlivened and guided by a master, widely learned and deeply religious. Luther was always full of social good cheer. He loved companionship. Even while he was fighting out his big fight at the university which led him into the monastery, his room was a popular place for his fellow students to congregate. His humor saved him many trials and enabled him to bear many things a less joyful man would have succumbed to.

But his life was deep and serious. He was a wide and thorough student, a voluminous writer and a capable executive. Few men have done as much or as good a work as he has done. He was never well in later years and suffered much, but always worked hard and kept good cheer. One of the best helps he had in all this was his good wife and their pleasant home. His children were a constant source of delight to him. Few men have understood children better than he. Fe’t have been able to speak on their level as he has done. Preserved Smith, perhaps the foremost Luther scholar in America, calls Luther a model husband and father: “Luther always spoke kindly both of bis wife and to her. His letters are full of affection toward her. He thanked God for her as the best of a.l His gifts: he would not trade her .“or the deminions of France and Venice. To his friend Jonas he wrote that if Katie died he would never marry again. For his children Luther was a wise and loving father. It is true that he believed in more corjroral punishment than most of us now do. but he spared neither care nor thought nor time on their education. The greatest sorrow of his life was the death of his daughter Magdalene." —Contributed.
