rience in Luther's own soul was the birth of
professionalism This alone made the reformation
a possibility.
He trained and endowed of God for
hand for the first public attack on the errors and
corruptions OF the church. The Pope had sent
agents into Germany TO sell induig"nces to raise
money. This aroused all the ind gnatlOn of
Luther. I5 was scandal to religion he could
NOT endure.
The nInety-fve theses nailed to the church
door was the declaration OF war. From that
moment the excitement in Europe was intense,
ficts. He was bitterly hated by his enemies and
ardently loved by his followers. His was the
great personality that made him always the
central figure of his times. CARLYLE has pro
nOunced the verdict better than any one else:
Luther was true, great man, great in intel
lect, in courage, affection and integrity, right
spiritual hero and prophet, and more, a true son
OF nature for whom these centuries and many
that TO come yet Will be thankful to heaven"
His great force moral. His spiritual
perlence was the most remarkable thing about
him. Others had more learning, Others had
more power but these all bowed at Lutners
feet as kings and princes had bowed before at
the feet of the prophets Of God. We do not
mean that Luther was perfect He had grave
faults; he was not satisfied with himself. lie
always felt himself TO he in a hand-to-hand fight
with the devil. Bat like the Apostle Paul he
fought good fight and the crown.
Plainly the energy, the power of Luther's life
lay in his experiences of the truth for which he
was the champion His soul had found liberty
In Christ, which was worth all the universe TO
him. 1t burned like fire in his bones: he must
give 1t to the world. His courage before the
Emperor and the church digntaries at Worms
was natural to one who had such experience.
1t was the triumph of faith. This commemOra-
ton will be an inestimable blessing to the church
III IL catches the inspiration OF this heroism and
zeal born of a personal union with Christ, and
fresh appreciation of the sublime truth, 1.-The

ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH,

Services Commemorative Of Luther's Birth
and Work-ReV. JOHN Baltzly's Sermon,
The 4O0Jh anniversary of the birth of Luther was
celebrated by the First English Lutheran Church
yesterday morning. Around the pulpit were
displayed fine German Autograph of the Re-
former, from one of Kranaeh's portraits, said to
be the best; plaster copy of the central figure
of the Luther denkmal at Worms Voks bust OF
Luther, large plaster medallion. with Lnther's
face in profile, and painting OF Luther's home.
The organist rendered "Ein feste Burg" at the
opening of the service. The FnFty-sixth Psalm
was read as the lesson, in connection with Car
lysle's translation of "Ein feste Burg" An ad-
dress on Martin Luther" was delivered by Rev.
John Baltzly. bespoke of the preparation for
and the occasion Of Luther's work, We cannot
altogether account for such man as Luther by
his environment. A little child is a new thing;
a great man is new force, not wholly depend
ent ON circumstances, but as well director. or
at least modifier, of the histori-
cal current. But environment is a
great deal. A genius must have
father and a mother, race, ancestry, father
land, and time to live il, just like common
man. These affect him as they affect ALL Ger

1t may be more than a fancy that he sprang
from those strong warriors OF Armlnius who

me back my legons." That was In the first cen

The Services at Christ Church-The Refor-
nation Considered and Discussed.
Rev. e. A. Bradley discussed the reformation
and the character OF Luther at Christ Church
yesterday morning his remarks being listened
to by a large congregation. He said;
The reformation was a general movement,
which began in England and extended east be

tion and revolted from Latin Christianity.
Bishop GrosteIe followed in his and Wycliffe' )
steps In Germany the first reforming move
ment WAS checked by the passionate zeal of the
SclavOnians and the cruel wars IN Bohemia. As
the dark ages passed, however, the great com
mercial cries aspired to set up spiritual repub-
lies, free from the Pope. II tho leaders had
persisted, as Ranke shows, the German church
would have succeeded. as the English church
did, in regaining its freedom and preserving its
unity. Pope Martin V bated the movements;
popes sway again in the West. SIM MarsiliO Of
Padua, and william, of Ockham, raised insur-
reetion against their domination and supersti-
lions.
Bertholdt, in 1917. on the hillsides, and
Tauer. later, in the cioister ehapels, preceded
the crusade of reformation. "The friends of
God" arose and Taulsr With them, He had
learned "the wisdom weary schoO,fnen never
KNEW" and, preaching, wept, as Whittier has
niefnred in his poem. Strashurg, without whose
walls he had learned the gospel from Nicolas,
was under the POpe's ban; and the black plague
fell upon the city. Tauler cried: "The Pope
cannot, by his interdict. close heaven against
those who die innocent" Other voices, the
years went by, In Germany az in England, APP
pealed from tho Pope directly to God. The
light of the reformation was an inextingnishable
torch passed from hand to hand throughout
Europe for nearly 200 years before Luther's day
and Henry's. The Church of England. planted
IN apostolic davs, did not begin then, but was
reformed. In Germany the refOrmers split from
the church and organized new sects; but, not to
anticipate, the necessity Tor reformation at thar
