MARTIN LUTHER --- The Peasant
 Who Conquered an Emperor

Two men were riding through German forest. One Of them was John Tetzel. a monk. who had been sent by Pope Leo x to peddle "Indul- gences" through Germany The other was a stranger Tetzel had met on the road a few hours before. The mork was explaining to him how to pay for rebuilding St Peters cathedral in Rome the pope was selling at graded rates tickets or parchments which ab- solved the purchaser from guilt for his various sins. These pafcnmen.s were known as Induigences
 T wish to commit robbery ob- served the stranger Will you sell me an indulgence. and for what price,"
 The sale was quickly made At it's conclusion the stranger proceeded to overpower Tetzel and rob him of every valuable he possessed. Then he rode away safe and happy in the knowledge that his sin was forgiven in advance.
 This incident raised a laugh all over Germany But two men did not laugh One was Tetzel and the other was a young peasant who had been educated for a lawyer and who to the disgust of his family. had become a priest. This peasantpriest was Martin Luther, father of freedom of thought and founder Of the Reforma- tion
 Religion had during the fifteenth century become far degraded from the pure principles of the Catholic church Of to-day and from the original holy precepts of
 that church The

 Luther shortly before this affair of TetzeTs. had gone on a pious pilgrim age to Rome What he saw there had horriAed him and set him 10 thinking Then came the public sale of indul- gences. This was the last straw. When Tetzel came to Wittenberg Luther shocked and amazed the whole world by mailing on the door of the church where the monk vas 10 preach a paper which declared the following truths:
 That such indulgences as Tetzel sold were worse than useless; that God alone can forgive sin and no nor tai has the power to peddle divine pardon; that true repentance alone can wash away guilt; that indulgences were money making schemes. and that no one can buy his way into the king dom of heaven.

The statements OF some of the Sen

which he sought to excuse himself but
only appeared ridiculous, he voted no
and 90 broke his party pledge. Kidd
explained what cool temperance
man he had always been and then
voted no, without giving any good
reason for doing so. The two emin ent
statesmen from this district, Silver

offered no explanation of their vote
against the amendment.
In view of all the circumstances,
we must regard the defeat of this
