therein. 'ronting the desk were four
century p, is in pots representative of
the four Gel. ries OF free worship and an
open Bible il 1gurated By the birth and re-
formatory labocs of Martin Luther. One of
these plants was quite small, and in speak
ing of them the pastor said it was ine
representative OF the first century Of this
freedom of religious worship, in which
this great reformer lived, and in which he
sowed the seed that has grown into the
present ponderou5 proportions of protes-
tanI religion.
The organ was decorated with .he
American coIors at the top, with the flags
of Germany and Switzerland on either
side, surrounding q large painting of the
cathedral at Worms, as it appeared in
1916, in ths background, built of German
red brick and rooted with red tiles, with
the full life statue of Luther il the fore
ground, standing as he did before the cele
brated Diet at Worms, with one hand hold
ing an open bible and the other lying
clenched upon it, when after he had been
called upon to retract his heretic0t doc
trines he answered, II cannot and will not
l am convicted of their truth by the word
of God and I cannot do otherwise. God
help me-" Ia this painting is further
represented the statues erected near by, to
the great reformers Salivina. Wickiiffe,
John Knox and John Huss. In pointing
out these figures to the audience the pas
tor said the expression given by the
sculptor to the statue of Luthur had some
thing in it that moved the soul to tears,
while the red tiles on the cathedral always
brought to mind the saying of Luther, as
he started from Wittenberg TO undergo
his trial that ne would 90 there and alone,
''though there were as many devils on the
road as there were tiles on the roof of its
cathedral
