I his is the 4OUth anniversary of til,
birth of Martin Luther, the leader in
the German Reformation. He was
born in Eisleb'n, Saxony, November

y lille at school in Mansfield, an,
alter at Macdeburg and Eisenach, h,
had to beg his bread with bis compan-
ions by singing from house to house At
Ilsenach a liberal lady, Ursula Gotta.
took the poor boy, who had engaged
her sympathy by his musical talent
and earnest devotion in church, to her
house, and supported him til he enter
ed the University of Erfurt in 1901.
Here he studied with great zeal, and
graduated as Master of Arts in 1908.
The sudden death of an intimate
friend in duel, and his own narrow
escape from death, first by a severe
illness and then by lightning, so
strongly excited his religious feelings
t at he entered the Augustinian con-
vent at Erfurt, July II, 1906. Here
he subjected himself to the severest
monas'ic discipline. Hi~d ep m-,tal
conflicts, penances, and ascetic ex-
ercises led him to Il knowledge of his
OWL II oral Eelples ness, and to the
cross of Christ as the only source e
justification aud peace. Luther took
orders in 1906, aud was called to
Wittenberg in 1868 as professor of
scholastic philosophy. In his lee
lures he led the students from eccle-
siastical tradition to the Scriptures,
and to the evangelical system of his
favorite St. Augustine. Against the
reclamation of holy things occasoned
by the sale of indulgences in Saxony
by the Dominican Monk Tetzel
-u her raised bold protest in tn,
famous 95 Latin theses which he post
ed at Wittenberg, October 81, 1917

tire controversy to the Pope, spreae
