PROTESTANT.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The little controversy be-
tween Rev. Skinner and DR.. Mackall in
regard to the use Of the word "Protest-
ant y though not likely to do much good in
religious point of view, is nevertheless
not uninteresting philologically and hstor-
ically considered. The roots of the word
are the Latin verb testor to give evidence
and the proposition pro before. Hence
our English verb "protest," and the noun
protestant" literally one who gives evil
dence openly before the adversary, or pro-
tests against. Its first application as far as
| can find to religious party was to Luther
and his coadiutors who, in 1929, protested
against the decree of Charles V. and the
diet of Spire. From this protest which was
joined in by the Elector of Saxony, the
Landgrare of Hesse, the Duke of Luner-
berg, the Prince of Anhalt with the Depu-
ties of fourteen imperial or free cities sprang
the German Reformation. But while Luth-
Grams, Calvinists, Presbyterians and other
non Episcopal religious bodies date their
origin at the Reformation, and are there
fore in the strict sense of the word Protest
ants, the Church of England and the Epis-
copal and Methodist Episcopal Churches in
the United States trace their origin back to
the Apostolic age. The Protestants pro-
tested against and drew away from the
Romish Church in the sixteenth century,
but the Episcopal denominations claim that
they are four hundred years older than
Romanism and fifteen hundred years older
than Professionalism. In this view of the
case therefore the anti-papal Episcopal
organizations are not Protestants.
After the German protest the people
throughout Europe made vigorous oppos-
ton to the papal supremacy, and although
the movement ir England, encouraged by
Henry Will, differed very widely from the
continental Reformation, it received in com
mon parance the name of "Protestant,'
and by this name is mainly referred to by
the modern historians who have written of
that period. Indeed the term "Protest-
ant " came to be the general though incor-
rect cognomen of all anti-papal religion,
and by this illegal use of the word the |
Church of England and all its children |
came to be called Protestants. 1t is a strii-
ing example of the wrestling of word from
its original meaning by popular usage,
which never locks very closely into the rea-
son or right of things, but does ita own
sweet will with ~ sublime disregard of essen
tal fitness.
1t is claimed for the Church of England |
and its children that they did not secede
from Rome. but refused assent to the false
The Cecil Whig., 1875-03-06

quire him to refrain from all temperance
movements, distinctively such, for SO did
our Lord. The New Testament gives no
instance ofany organized temperance move
ments whatever. The great principles of
morality and religion were inculcated by
our Lord and His Apostles. Christians
were exhorted to "Be temperate in all
things and to "let their moderation be
known to all men," The fact is, the liquor
dealers could plead our Lords "example"
against Mr.. s. s temperance efforts with as
much show Of reason and propriety as he
pleads that " example" against total absti-
nence.
On what ground then is Mr.. S. justified
in his efforts to promote the cause of tenn
perance? On the ground of erpedieney,
certainly-a ground broad enough, and
strong enough, for all his activities in that
cause. But on this same ground stand the
advocates of total abstinence also, and they
need no other. Considerations of expe-
diency alone can bear the whole weight of
their movement, and will ultimately tri-
umph. More anon, if occasion require.
