 (Printed in standard German Gothic type; also called Fraktur type. ) ---------- [Viewers' Note: A possible problem. Fr is the standard German abbreviation for married woman ie Mrs.; however in Latin it can also stand for brother (frater). It's questionable the president of the church council was a woman, in 1896. Keep that in mind.] |
