CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH.
Rev. Or. Hlan chard's Lecture on
Custavus AdoIphus.

Rev. DIR. Bla nchard delivered his lecture
on "The Thirty Years War and its Hero.
Gustavus Adolphus," last evening in the
Church of the Messiah course.
he began by showing the causes of this
war. First, was the determination Of the
Roman church to suppress Professionalism ;
second. was the shadowy character Of the
Emperor and Empire; third, was the lack Of
representative government, and the fourth
was the violence Of the theological rancor.
Illustrating these points In full, the lecturer
described the opening of the war In Bohe-
mia. In this country, the home Of John
Huss. Professionalism was ruthlessly de-
stroye by bloody violence. Wallenstein.
soldier Of fortune, was the instrument Of the
bigo ry Of Frederick III. From Bohemia
Wallenstein and his mercenaries advanced
to the north. Elated by victory the haughti-
ness Of Wallenstein became intolerable and
he was displaced. Gustavus Adolphus,
King Of Sweden. appeared upon the scene to
defend stricken Protestatism.
DR.. Blanchard here gave an extended out
line OF the youth, war with Russia and mill
rary genius of the northern hero, described
tuo odCh VI ud6uOOuh6 ahO bhO VI
Lutzen. In which Gustayus fell The wal
continued 16 years longer, but Wallenstein's
death and the interference of Richelieu, and
the depopulation and ruin caused by the
war brought about the peace Of .Westphalia
In 1913.
The lecturer then pOintsd out the results
Of the war. the establishment Of religious
freedom, the extension of France to the
Rhine, the making Of Prussia a bulwark
against Russia.
The concluding passages showed the les
sons of the war which should be needed by
America. First, the power OF ideas as IL
lustrated by Frederick, the advocate the
authority Of the church in religious opin-
ions, and by Gustavus Adolphus, the def nd
er of the right Of private judgement; second,
the power of representative government;
third, The debt of America to Sweden and
Germany.
DIR. Blanchard told an interesting incident
of Mini-te w. w. Thomas, who had the
flag Of the United States displayed when the
Swedes celebrated the birthday of their hero
king. Gustavus Adolphus.
Prior to the lecture Mr. Walter Goold
