WAVERLY – Few projects in modern times can be described as having “monumental artistic and spiritual significance.” There are exceptions, of course, and one is The Saint John’s Bible. It is the first handwritten and illuminated Bible in more than 500 years. The seven volumes of The Saint John’s Bible Heritage Edition, a fine art reproduction of the original artwork, are on display at the Waldemar A. Schmidt Art Gallery on the Wartburg College campus, now through Feb. 21. The college will host an ecumenical Service of the Word today at 4 p.m. in the Wartburg Chapel. A reception will follow from 5 to 7 p.m. in the gallery. Tim Ternes, director of The Saint John’s Bible, will visit campus Tuesday. He will speak about project at 11:30 a.m. in Neumann Auditorium. “Illuminating the Word for a New Millennium” features the text and artistic interpretations in red leatherbound books each measuring 2 feet tall by 3 feet wide when open, and a collection of framed pages for closer examination. There are more than 160 illuminations and decorative text treatments in the 1,150 pages. “There hasn’t been a Bible made like this for centuries, and it brings back the tradition of the illuminated
“The Saint John’s Bible: Illuminating the Word for a New Millennium” will be displayed in the Waldemar A. Schmidt Art Gallery, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily or by appointment. The exhibit runs through Feb. 21. It is free and open to the public. The Wartburg College Philosophical and Literary Society also will host three events focused on the exhibit: Dr. Brian Jones, professor of religion, “Seeing the Word: The Art of the St. John’s Bible as Visio Divina,” Jan. 31. Dr. Rachel Clark, assistant professor of English, “Histories of the Book: Illustrating Scripture in Wartburg’s 1597 Bible and the St. John’s Bible,” Feb. 14. All events will be at 4 p.m. in the McCoy Conference Rooms in Saemann Student Center on the Wartburg campus. The programs are free and open to the public.

Although the art of illuminating a manuscript is ancient, some of the artwork illustrating The Saint John’s Bible, the first illuminated Bible in 500 years, has a contemporary motif.

“Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”
Chiropractor Turns Pain-Busting Material Into ‘Miracle Socks’ for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers! Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes! What part of your swollen, tired, and achy feet would you like to see ‘go-away’? If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued and sore, then read on to discover the breakthrough that can change your life. Good news comes in the form of a ‘pain-busting microfiber’that is used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM. Better Blood Flow The ‘miracle sock’ is made from a new, patented anion-technology that is weaved into every strand of thread used to make a BambusaTM sock. This special micro-fiber thread uses revolutionary bamboo charcoal to stimulate blood flow and revitalize feet. When this material comes in contact with body-heat it is proven to release circulation-boosting ions. The 3D weave technology used in creating the material has been compared to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The company that makes the socks (as well as a back sleeve and wrist sleeve) says that the material provides almost instant relief to any part of the body it touches, making it ideal for diabetics, athletes, inflammation, swelling or stiffness. Anne M. from California agrees. “Bambusa™ socks are absolutely the most comfortable socks I have every worn! My feet are no longer fatigued!”
Therapy Without A Prescription! When the socks were tested using a Thermographic Camera, results showed up to a 17% to 22% increase in blood flow. This helped to improve muscle oxygenation and decrease foot fatigue. The socks have been proven to provide extended relief from cold, swollen and fatigued feet. Doctor Developed Dr. Jackson Corley, a Chiropractor and inventor of 20 years, created the patent pending circulation-boosting 3D-weave technology. “Infrared therapy has been used for years at medical clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals less pain. This microfiber works much the same way.” BENEFITS: • Increased blood flow and oxygen • Reduced swelling and pain • Anti-microbial • Wicks away moisture • Increased range of motion

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After wearing for only 5 minutes there is an increase in temperature due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. 20 minutes after using the anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and less numbness.
Doctor ‘Heal Thy Self’ The 3D-weave microfiber technology woven into every strand of BambusaTM was invented by chiropractor Dr. Jackson Corley. A self described extreme sports lover, he crashed his mountain bike and herniated three discs in his lower back and two in his neck. Looking to ease his pain, he began intensive research into circulation-boosting compounds from traditional Chinese and Japanese medicines. His research led him to bamboo charcoal and soon he developed a back sleeve that contained this element. He remembers, “Within two weeks, I had increased mobility, was walking better, and my range of motion improved. I stopped using the canes I’d become dependant on. It was incredible!”
Results in 5 Minutes? John G. of California claims he felt immediate results with his tired, swollen feet. “Without exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. It is like a heating pad set to low and wrapped around my calf. I will be replacing my entire set of dress socks with these socks!” Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks because they don’t restrict blood flow. Utilizing the special negative-anion technology, they comfortably increase blood flow and oxygen to tissues. “My feet felt wonderful, cool, and I never got that pins and needles feeling anymore. I love my BambusaTM socks,” reports Nancy T. from NJ. IDEAL FOR: • Neuropathy • Raynaud's Syndrome • Cramping • Cold Feet Goodbye to Pain and Numbness Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed fast results. “The issue for me was persistent numbness in my toes - it was gone completely after a few days of wearing these socks! Being diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”
They are ideal for diabetics and those suffering from neuropathy or injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM Socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on their feet. “I went out on the golf course for 18 holes of golf, and when I got home my feet weren’t swollen, they weren’t sweating and my feet didn’t hurt,” says Lou B. from New York. Tom from NJ says, “I suffer from chronic foot cramps. I My feet were sore for days after the cramping. My wife gave me the Bambusa™ socks, I wore them, and the foot cramps stopped. I replaced all my socks with Bambusa™. My feet feel great now.” Try Bambusa™ Risk Free! Order Bambusa™ at no risk and receive two bonus pairs of socks absolutely free!
