Lutherans to Observe Anniversary


were known throughout Germany, where
they found advocates in ali quarters.
The breach thus made between Luther
and the Catholic church, in which he was
brought up. was never healed. June 16.
1920, he was communicated by the pope
and his writings publicly burned in vari-
Gus places. Luther retaliated by burning
the papal bull of communication in
the presence of his students near the Els
ster gates of Wittenberg. April II and 49,
1921, Luther appeared before the Diet of
Worms and refused to recant. In 1922 he
answered an attack made upon him by
Henry VIII of England. In 1923 he chang
ed the form of mass to suit his own idea
of true worship. He wrote thirty-six
hymns. and June 1s 1925, married Cath
arine Won Bora, twenty-siX years of age
and who had been a nun. He translated
first the New and then the Old Testa-
ment of the Bible. He died while absent
from his home at his birthplace, Eislaben.
His remains are buried in front of the
pulpit in the Castle Church at Witten-
berg.

that the greatness of Paul was made

now, in dire peril, when hope was gone.
Paul was seen in all his greatness. He
was Gods ambassador. He was COM

His assurance of the final safety of all
on board the ship cheered and comforted
all. He was now hailed as a savior, and

The Voyage.

Let us first of all try to get clear
idea Of the passengers. There We're, of
course, the captain and his crew. Then
there were the prisoners. Some of these,
like Paul. had probably appealed to
Caesar, and were on their way to Rome
for trial. But others may have been
men condemned and sent to Rome for
public execution. Whether any of these
belonged to this unfortunate class we do
not know; but we do know that the de-
mand- of Rome upon the provinces for
SUCH victims was constant. The emperor
felt that the people, always in a state of
unrest. needed such exhibitions to crafty
their ferocious natures Besides these
there were the soldiers necessary upon
such a ship; and all We're under control
of Julius, captain of the Augustan band
his residence was doubtless Rome, and
1t Is supposed that he had been one of
the guard that accompanied Festus from
Rome to Cesarea. But among these were
TWO Tor whose presence it is difficult to
account. These were Luke and Aristar-
chus. They were the companions of
raul Ordinarily they would not have
under military control. Ramsay supposes
that they must have gone as the slaves
OF Paul. If this is true, it would, of
course. increase the respect which julius
and others would have for the apostle.
However this may be, we know that
Paul was treated by the centurion with
the greatest of Difference. AS there was
no ship sailing direct from Cesarea to
Italy they took one bound for Abramyt-
uum, knowing that somewhere on the
coast they would find ship that would
take them toward Rome. The next day
they touched at Sidon. Here was a
Christian community. and Julius showed
his interest and confidence in Paul by
permitting him to go and visit the breth-
rem. From Sidon they sailed around the
island of Cyprus, and over the sea of
Cilicia to Myra.
This was a port of great Importance,
and here the centurion realized his eX-
pectations. He found an Alexandrian
transport sailing into Italy. He put the
prisoners on board. and at once the ship
seems to have started on her journey
And now their troubles began. The sea-
son was far advanced. The dangerous
season for navigation in those waters
lasted from September Ii to November
IL. During this season all navigation
on the open sea was discontinued
Day after day they battled with head
winds, but when opposite Cnidos they
were driven southwark, and, passing Thy
Cape Salome, they reached the harbor
of Fair HaNens, near the city of Lasea,
and there they lay for a considerable
time. The reason for this stay is not
given by Luke, but from other sources
We learn that this is the nearest shelter

Young Lutherans Hold Rally


presented.
In his opening remarks the clergyman
spoke of the early progress of Protestant
ism in Italy, Spain. France, Germany
and England. He paid tribute to John
Wickliffe Of England and John Huss of
Bohemia for their great work in the times
leading up to the reformation. He pic
tured stern Martin Luther as he stood
before the Diet of Worms and reaffirmed
his convictions as to church government
and declared that after hearing a Pres
byterlan recently say that Luther be-
longs as much to that denomination as
to the Lutherans because of his great
work. he was of the belief that the serv-
ice of the first great Lutheran in the
cause of Protestantisn was so large a
one that Lutherans could afford to be
generous and allow the followers of Cal
vim to claim him, too. as one of the great
leaders who led up to the establishment
of their faith.

At first sight it must be conceded that
the long Imprisonment of Paul seems to
have been a strange providence. Two
years in Cesarea, two years in Itome and
six months occupied by this voyage make
a long time to be taken from the active
ministry of such a man as Paul. But
God makes no mistakes. We may lose

gave him access to soldiers and others,
who might otherwise have never heard

maturer views are seen in the letters to
the churches, which he wrote during his
Imprisonment. The world, therefore, to
