Martin Luther, BY DR.. Blackman.

President Hathaway then introduced
DR. W. f. Blackmrn. president of l}ol-
Inns College, who delivered IN excellent
address, his theme being Martin Luther
In Il few comprehensive sentences he
pictured the condition Of the world 1t
that time Dominated by thc Catholic
religion blessed by the best in art and
Music and oratory and bruins; yet there
were three things true OF the Catholic
, church. It was a mighty force in So
cicty, binding and iusing peoples and
nations, eliminating caste and q ,SS,
ctc., but it was no longer wholly helpful.
on the contrary it was rather rcrrcSsiVc
in It's tendencies and in its inability to
keep up with The forward stride Of the
times The third prominent condition
was the gigantic corruption, both in its
religious teaching and in its morals.
Here the doctor called attention to the
! fact that he was not speaking of the
, Catholic church Of tod ~ which is very
rupt age. Taking up the life 81 Luther
he briefly mentioned his childhood, his
school and university life, the carly
practice Of law and the long search for
truth and light in the monastery, In
eloquent language the speaker told of
the coming of sweet peace into this
troubled life, Following this came the
Journey to Rome 500 miles on foot
where he found pomp and pagcantry,
and spiritual dclth The long fight
against corrupt teachings, in which the
great rciormcr stood practically alone;
the arr ,ignmcnt before the Diet ut
Worms, where he fcarlcssly refused to
rctract one word, We're brought out
strongly. Side bv side with this sketch
of indonitablc will and mistaken cour-
age, we were given a glimpse of the
home life Of this great man, in which he
proved to be kind and tender, loving
and thoughtful The entire word por-
trait was skctchcd with a mastcrful
hand and stood out in bold relief, the
finished work of an able orator. Briefly
speaking, the result of this rcformcr'S
life and work was the establishing of the
doctrine of justification by faith, but it
also taught the supremacy Of individual
reason and right And more; because
it compasscd the initial liberation of the
people, it also made possible all the sub
sequcnt great movements and rcvOlu.
tons for the liberation and bcttcrmcnt
of humanity.
This address was comprehensive and
scholarly, and was listened to with rlpt
attention,

L. &. 6ehymer Brings Back Valuable
New Ideas from Trip Through
East-Urees Musical
Festival

Denver's city plan and energy in ad-
vancing it are attracting wide atten-
tion.
Every city in the United States which
has undertaken a musical festival on
proper standards has found it protita-
BILE not alone musically but CONNER
cially as well to merchants and music
teachers alike.
Eastern musical authorities cannot
understand why Los Angeles, with
symphony orchestras at hand, trained
choruses and a reputation for furnish
ing the greatest musical audiences in
the United States, does not have annu-
ally one of the best known musical fes-
tivals of the world.
duplication of a municipal weekly
like the Denver Facts, Boston's City
Record, or Philadelphia, might advance
the interests of Los Angeles.
The foregoing ideas and many others
were brought back by L. E. Behymer
on his return from a trip to leading
eastern centers with Harley Hamilton
He was especially impressed with the
value of the musical festival in numer-
Gus indirect ways. Parallel with this
was the astonishment expressed in New
York and elsewhere that Los Angeles
with its musical reputation and excel
lent orchestras fails to hold great
musical festival.
Denver is a city that Los Angeles
will have to reckon WITH" said Mr. Be
hymer. There is a fine spirit there,
and they are doing some great things
that make the city widely talked about
for its progressiveness. They are max
ing over ugly spots and utilizing the
waste places in splendid shape. And
they find that it pays.
Need Good Music
'It is evident that we must make
good musically here or take back seat.
They talk about the fact that Los An
geles has given Paderewski the great
est audience in his experience, and that
we are able to pay for the best in mu-
/ sic: that we have two of the best or
chestras in America, including the only
woman's symphony-'Yet,' they say,
you do not have a musical festival.
That is astonishing when you have all
that is necessary at hand Why is it?'
well, why is it? 1t would be profit
able to music lovers, it would pay i'm
mensely for the merchants and bust
ness men, it would advertise the city in
territory that should be ours and ev-
erywhere else, 1t would encourage per-
sons of culture to make their homes in
Southern California, it would be step
in city betterment. There are enough
reasons why we should do this, but we
have not done it yet.
when we do take II up we must not
go at it half way. 1t must be a festi-
val that will be heard of even in Eu-
rope. Our reputation is for that sort
of an ideal, and we do not make good
If we fail to live up to it. Everywhere
we went, clear up into Maine, and from
everybody be talked to from cities
holding musical festivals, there was the
same lesson of the great advantages
accruing to the whole community from
a properly conducted musical festival
lished by the city of Denver, Municipal
Facts. 1t is full of the plans for beau
tifying and lettering that city, and
stimulates the spirit at home as well as
advertises Denver elsewhere"

CANCEL ENTRY FOR
HARRlMAN'S HORSES

ARDEN, N. Y, Sept. 10.-J. S. Muir
ray, one of the pallbearerS and super
intendent of the Hartman stock farm,
received orders today to withdraw all
the Hartman entries from the COM
ing trotting meeting at Syracuse.
However, since Mary Hartman, who
many believe will take her fathers
place in charge of the property in Or
ange county, is extremely fond of
horses, it is not likely that the Har-
riman stables will be abandoned.
Reports that Mrs. Hartman was in
a state of collapse were denied by Su-
perintendent Ford. He said that she
and all other members of the family
were bearing their grief well.
An appreciation of Mr.. Harriman's
life that reflects the prevailing senti-
ment here was expressed tonight by
DIR. McGuiness, his pastor
1.-THE keynote of Mr. Harriman's
character, l should say was his do
mestic simplicity" he said. He never
lost his contact with life. 1 don't
know, of course, how he was in his
office, but in his personal relations
with those who knew him he was the
most accessible man one could i'm
agine.
ANY workman on the place who
wanted to see Mr.. Hartman had only
TO speak the Wofd.
Modest in Charities
Tin his charities he was unostenta-
tious and modest. Whenever possible
he kept his name covered and he never
conceived charity as the act of signing
a check payable to some impersonal
organization. He put his thought and
himself as well as his money into his
gifts.
His human sympatllies were quick
and wide 1 recall that when the wife
of one of the. laborers on the estate
was seriously i'll, he called me five
times on the telephone-both here and
from his office in New York-durfhg
his business hours and his leisure, to
inquire about her.
Again, when the nurse with whom
the children had grown up left the
family to enter service elsewhere, she
expressed the wish before she died that
she might be buried in Arden. This
beautiful countryside had won her
heart Mr.. Hartman had her body
brought here at his expense and sat in
the front seat at church when the
services were held.
"Then l recall the case of small boy
who was inadvertently omitted from
the list of those whom Mr.. Hartman
personally remembered each Christ
mas. When this disconsolate mites
plant reached Mr.. Harriman's ears he
set out on foot at once on December
night, four miles through the woods
to Island Pond, where the lads family
lived, to assure him personally that he
was not left out"
