strongly epos the daeksbil ty of commemoreting the
birth of Luther. He should like to say a few words
as to what be thought and hoped would be some of the
results of that commemoration. Be hoped it would be
the mesons of showing the Pepsi power that at this
time the feeling of Europe, and eopecially of Great
Britain, was ae strong as ever in favour of the true
blessings of Protedsoti•m, and that there was an
1,5-xible determination on their part to stand firm
upon the principles of the Reformation. (Cheers.)
He thought they might also irately say that this 400th
celebration of the birth of Luther had been better
kept than the 300th. (Hear' hear.) At the time wings
Austria was asked if she would allow the Protestants is

parts of Switsorland, Geneva, and Denmark, and also,

(Applause.) They did not meet there to glorify the

end against all the error and superstition which were
going oa amongst them. Union is strength, and when
they saw Christians .41 all denominstiole come from
all parte of Greet Britain to oelebrde the Reformation,
be trusted it would induce them to go head and band
together to resist every effort t bring Popery into
this country, or those errors that were afloat. (Hear,
beer.) Everyone of the denominations present bed to
thank God that Luther carried his point; sod if they
were to have the Chuecsh of England, they must see
that the " Grace " articles were strictly *capture',
and set forth the great troths that Luther be' I. It
was one of the great characteristics of Lather that
when he was in the coatis of Wartemburg for tee
months, be reduced the Scriptures into the German
larernagra. He believed the two greatest prom 'here of
Proteetentiom were L Mgr and T yodel', wh translated
the New Testament into the English language, sod
be supposed the main cot every version, even the
revised version, that had been made since was very
much based upon his translation. He mull only hope
arid trust that what they were doing th .1 night might
be for the good of their minds and Kruk. They were
met there for one express object, of testifying hel'ns
God their desire t, rally round the greet Orts-,oples
of
