UP as the acme Of religious intaler-

when compared with Lutherss perenp-

strange irony, was forbidden to preaci.

and from whom a recantation was
forced, was exiled from his home for

against these drastic measures Of the
new pope. as he styled Luther. and
found a friend and apologist in the
leader of the Swiss reform movement,
Zwingh.
Luther bounced upon both in such q
manner as to display his accustomed
sialectic methods at their best. Haus-

4 Reply to DE. bartholomew.

Moline. Ill. Nov t9~-Editor Argus:
In the Rock Island and Moline press
last week Or. e. f. Bartholomew OF
Augustana college presented as en-
gaging a picture Of Martin Luther as
he wishes him 10 look in modern eyes.
There is, however, a very wide cry
from this idealized parsonage Of the
doctors nimble fancy to the real flesh
and blood Luther Of history. Contem-
porary historical research has brought
to light so much concerning Luther's
I life and works that was forgotten or
unknown formerly that 1t argues
against the up-to-dateness OF DIT.
Bartholomew to be seemingly tat
leagD so uniformed Of the results Of
this scientific work,
ut is more especially our own coun-
try that enjoys heritage from that
movement (the Reformation which
cannot be adequately expressed in
words. Luther's message was demo-
cratic and laid the foundations OF
modern democracy" Thus writes Dr.
! Bartholomew and he quotes DR.. Lind
say, D'Aubigne and Bancroft to but
tress bis assertions. Now / submit
that il matters very little what these
worthy gentlemen think; but it mat
tiers very much what Luther himself
writes and thinks on the subject
Luther's teaching was absolutely op
posed to democracy and he himself
, was one Of the fiercest and most re
} lentless autocrats that ever ruled il
, Germany. To prove this / shall make
no quotations that l do not stant
ready to substantiate from Luther'l
own writings.
After the tragic failure OF the peas
, ants war he and Melaneht0n pro
claimed for the first time the hithert
unknown doctrine of the unlimitei
a power of the ruler over the subject
: demand unquestioning submission T.
. authority: preach and formally teacl
n the spirit Of servility and despotism.
= The object lesson that was to brin
I the enforcement Of the full rigor @
the law to the attention of the prince
4 was the peasants war The masse
q we're TO be laden down with burden
y to curb their refractoriness; the poo
man was to be forced and driven a
we force and drive pigs and vii
cattle. Melanchton found the Gen
II mans such a wild. iucorrigible, blood
!! thirsty people that their Hbertie
n should by all means be abridged an
J. more drastic severity be measured on
The same autocratic power was not
i be confined to mere political concern
5. but the gospel was to become the il
'i strument Of the princes to extend int
the domain of religious affairs.
W Thus, in the words OF Mcneil,
;. Protestant historian, the whole refo
"a nation was the triumph of the ten
d poral power over the spiritual. Luthe
d himself. to escape anarchy, placed a
authority in the hands Of the prince
u Thus also it came TO pass, in the Wort

unequal and grave battles against IN
Justice: OF them Luther says: In the
case Of an insu4gent peasant every
man is both judge and e1ecut1oneF.
Whoever can should knock down,
strangIe, stab, stamp upon, either
secretly or publicly, all such. Nothing
is 50 veneIaous, pernieious and devil

Towards the Jews Luther preached:
Burn their synagOgues and schools;
what will not burn bury with earth
that neither stone nor rubbish remain.
Break into their house, forbid their
rabbis TO teach or preach on pain OF
life and limb. Take away their prayer
books and Talmuds, in which Is moth

Il has been well said in another ar
ticle lately: There is q tinge OF real
pathos in attempts to enthuse the
+ people Of America in the celebration
3of the quadri-centennial Of the refor-
/ nation. Just at time when we are at
war, not so much with the country
which produced Luther as with the
spirit that Luther created. In the face
Of history II is monumental temeritg
for the apologists OF Luther to sug-
gest that he was the founder of mod
ern democracy. There never was q
more in0pportune time to advance
such q claim. Luther was the original
pan~Gernlan. 1t requires little study
Of his writings and doctrines TO dee
