Laslette took for his subject Luther
and the Reformation" and judging
from the rapt attention given him the
people were deeply interested. Mr..
Laslett said, what made Luther the
man he was, he got hold of the Bible
which has buttressed nations with
truth and righteousness and guided
multitudinous souls into endless life.
By searching the scriptures he found
out that he was sinner, and the only
way of deliyerance was through the
redemption of Jesus Christ. Half way
up the Scala Sancta voice spoke to
Luther, the "Just shall live by faith
He responded to the voice of Christ
and thus his whole life was changed.
The reformation teaches three things.
First, free conscience-let every
man think for himself. A man must
do this as he values his own soul and
hopes to please God. Alone 7 was
born into the world-alone must face
the duties and responsibilities of live.
Alone must pass through the valley
of the shadow and stand before God

Second, open Bible. Luther flung
open the golden clasps of the Bible
and broke the chain that bound it to
the altar.
Third, the doctrine of justification
by faith, which is the foundation Of
the church, of personal liberty, life
and character. 1t is the sum and sub
stance of all preaching. Luther's
words were Look to the Cross of
OF Christ, Look and Live" Thus af.

The wreck was caused by brake

was making about forty miles an
hour. The car left the track and ran
some distance, and finally straddled
both tracks, upsetting the fruit car
next to it. All fourteen cars piled
