81 will not speak of Luther tonight,
said Rev. Waring at the beginning of
his address. "as the founder OF the
great German educational system, nor
as the man who did so much towards
purifying the language itself, neither
us one of the estahlisners of a simple
democratic form of government. Nor
will I speak of him as the founder or
Professionalism. There are other things
to which Luther has Introduced thd
world and traces of his Individual lite
abound IN Germany. In my travels IN
Germany ] saw everywhere statues
erected to his memory: everywhere Is
his memory kept green ana held III
reverence"
Dr. Waring then continued, giving
a. personal narrative of the visible
traces OF the great refoiiner. Wnich
he saw during his travels In Ger-
many. ,
"The first city I visited where
found a trace of Luther was in bruns-
wick" he said. "where l saw large
ring which had been presented to MN
and other rings. OF which MS wile
wedding ring was one.'
Dr.. Warning then described one Oh
Luthers bibles, published at Witten-
burg, and which he saw at this quaint
little German city. There also he be-
held several other relics Of the great
reformer.
In the famous old Lutheran cathe-
dral at Magdeburg, Dr.. WarinE saw
one of the famous indulgence chests,
distributed throughout Germany dur
ing Luther's time by Tetzel.
ra hn,,
laten, where Luther was born, the
small two story building now orna-
mented with a bas-relief of the foun-
der of Professionalism, and the inscrip-
ton in German: Goods Word is Luth-
er's. Therefore it lives" The home
is now unoccupied, but is carefully
looked after by the inha bitants of the
city.
COMPARED TO JUDAS.
Among other curiosties in the place
was a small coin with a Hebrew in
scription which DR.. Warnings guide in
sisted was one of the thirty pieces
paid to Judas for the Masters betrayal.
The stone baptismal fount, where
Luther was baptized was another OF
the relics described by the speaker,
and the Eislaten house in which he
died was also given minute descrp-
tion. He died in the city during his
visit to effect a reconciliation between
it and Mansfield, small neighboring
town.
At Wittenburg. Luther as a young
man acted as a professor. There DIR.
Waring saw the great Luther oak, on
which the reformer burned the pope's
bull of accommodation. This town
is rich in relics of Luther, and the
speaker interestingly described a num-
ber of them.
Nefurt is the city where as young
man Luther attended the university.
There he entered the monastery to
renounce the world and worldly ways
and to lead the life of a monk. Els
oman, another city which marked an
epoch in LutherS life was also visited
by DR.. Waring. Here with other boys,
he sang on the street and then begged
at private houses, as was then the
custom. for funds to help them con-
tinue their student course. Here it
was that kindly. good woman took
pity on him and treating him as her
son, made his educational career more
easy. The house. with Luthers little
bedroom, is still intact, and can be
viewed by the sightseer.
DR.. Waring concluded with the fol-
lowing remarks: Luther has not
died. for God still lives. His word is
in your hands and mine, and we can
thank Him that from time to time He
raised up strong. fearless men who
vigorously and honestly proclaim His
truth"
