LUTHER GIVEN FIRST PLACE
Though There Were Many Others, He
10 Known as Leader Of the
Reformation.

The name protestant" was first
given to the supporters of Martin
Luther, who "protested7 against the
decree of the second diet of Spires,
1929, which aimed at the restoration
of the mass in the states in which
it had been discontinued, and Cen
joined that all ministers in such
states should avoid controversial
questions and expound the Scrip
lures only on the lines hitherto fa-
miliar to and authorized by the
Catholic church." Luther was the
first decisively successful leader Of
the Reformation, although he had
had as forerunners such noted men
as Wickliffe and John Huss. But
Luther was not the only leader Of the
revolt against Rome, and by no
means all of the early protestants
were Lutherans. Nearly contempo-
rary with Luther, Zwingli began an
independent movement in, Switzer-
land; he was later overshadowed by
Calvin. By the middle of the six
teenth century there were two we'll
defined and distinct church organi-
cations of professionalism, and these
best suggested by the names of Lu-
ther and Calvin-still remain the
two main branches from which the
numerous later offshoots have prung.
In England the Reformation was
unique in that it began with revo-
luton in the constitution of the
church without any change in doc
trine, and ended in compromise
which was neither wholly Lutheran
nor entirely Calvinistic. All these
facts must be borne in mind in as
certaining the sources and founda-
tions of protestantism.-New York
