Lutherans Belim I J I the Bible is I GOD'S WORD I A fry/ » It is not without significance ~W " that most statues of Martin Luther show’ him standing with a Bible in his hand—for it was the rediecovery of the Bible that made the Lutheran Reformation nos* sible. ’ : Once Luther found forgiveness for his sins and peace for his mind in the simple promise of the Scriptures, -The just shall live by his faith,” the Bible became the chart and compass of his life. Fop-more than four centuries the Church which bears the name of Luther has remained faithful to the primary principle of the Reformation, “The Bible alone.” • * -'lt insists on taking the Bible just as it reads. It refuses to twist the Scriptures to make them conform to human reason. Nor will it agree to add to the Bible “the traditions of the fathers.” The Scriptures are sufficient. To the Lutheran Church the Bible is the only measure of spiritual truth, the only divinely given guide for faith aud life. \ It is willing to rest Its faith on the simple statement* of the Bible because it believes the Good Book when it says. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” It believes the Bible, because it accepts the Bible as God's Word.

New Germ Warfare Charged By Reds Claim Allied Shells Loaded With Germs Tokyo; March 4.—(UP)r— The Chinese Comipurjist -Peiping radio charged today that American artillery has. fired shells loaded with disease laden insects into Red lines in Korea. It was the first time such a charge has been made. Previous Communist broadcasts accused American aircraft of dropping plague-bearing fleas. |i The United Nations cbmmahd has categoric aly denied that the allies are waging or have waged germ warfare in Korea. The broadcast, monitored in Tokyo, said that on Feb. 26, the U.S. third division “laid a smokescreen ; and afterwards fired six shells carrying germ-laden insects, flies and spiders” on the Imjim river front northwest of Inchon. The broadcast was based on a dispatch by Communist newsman Alan Winnington at Panmunjom. It said the shells were “laded with cholera and typhus.” Every unit of Chinese “volun- , teers” fighting in Korea now has > social equipment to fight disease, 1 the broadcast added. “The shells were very light," the broadcast continued. “They made a little noise and left a depression only as. big as a rice bowl.” “In an area 15 meters round, there were large numbers of flies and spiders. The flies were blackish with a small head, long narrow wings and more velvety than cony i mon flies. “Cholera bacteria were found in I the abdomen and among the downy j hair, inoculation, which is -taking place all along the front, was speeded up in this sector.” Allied officers believe epidemics : have been hitting front line Com- ■ munist troops as well as residents i in rear areas. Previous reports said bubonic plague has broken out behind the Communist lines. Mr. and Mrs. Sylvan Zurcher of Berne are the parents of a baby boy. born at H:l6 p.m. Monday, weighing 5 lbs.
