Sunday last, being nearest the 3lst
of October, was celebrated as Reforma-
ton Sunday in many Protestant
churches, particularly the Evangelical
Lutheran, as the 39lst anniversary of
the beginning of the great Reformation
of the Christian church in the sixteenth
century. On October 3lst, 1917, Luther,
the monk of Wittenberg, nailed up his
celebrated ninety-five theses as pro-
test against the abuses in the church of
his time, and thus began that great
movement which has more profoundly
moved the world than any other since
the establishment of Christianity. Spe-
cial services were held morning and eve
ming in st. Johns Ev. Lutheran
church here, the pastor, Rev. w. L.
Hopp, delivering interesting and ap-
propriate addresses to large congrega-
tions on both occasions.
