and many of the teachers have requested

Fellow teachers, ladies and gentlemen:
In accordance with the theory
of history-teaching that facts about
? m?n arnncA more interest and en
thusiasm than facts about a community
of state and that for most
purposes historical characters are the
very btst centers abont whicbto grant
facte, I have decided to try to give
\on a picture of the mau who, when

covered, lead a movement which then
exeried and his continued to exert
one of the most profound and far
reaching iuflacacis that history offers
for our consideration.
Martin Luther was the most promt- '
nent figure in the tii.-tory of the IC h
ceulury, the man who made thi dialect
of Saxony, which up to his time
had been only one of a number of i
dialects used in Germany, the acknowledged
Jiterary form of the language
which we study to-day in our
schools and colleges as German.
Tbe age in which Lather lived is 1
the most remarkable in ail history and
is spokeD of by all historians as tbe
"Renaissance" or second birth of the
human intellec*. :
In tbe year of Lather's birth, 1433,
Raphael, tbe great Italian painter of j
the Madonnas was born; Michael 3
Angelo, tbe celebrated sculptor, artist i
and architect who completed the dome 1

Oopernious, ibe Polish astronomer tbe I
first to assert ibat tbe sun and not tbe

systeua, a iioctrine so new and con- I
. trary to the old theory that the Pope
condemned it as false, was at this time |
ten years old; Colnmbas wa* abont to |

in undertaking his expedition to ar- <
rive at the East by way o? tbe west;
flenry VILL. was fco estabitsh the
Church of England, known to us as
tbe Episcopal Church was 2 years o!d.
From the names mentioned, you
will see that this wa$ above all an age
of independent thinkers, and new
ideas; an age when the influeacs of an
individual in private life might become
marc weighty than an empire and j
might overthrow beliefs which for ]
centuries past h d been accepted i
without question. An age marked by
the two discoveries of tb; world in |
which be lives its extent, thape, and i
relation to other worlds; secoud, the <
discovery of mau'?? moral nature aud
the intimate and personal relation of
his soul to God. ,

temporary persons and a hint at con- |

prominent a figare Lather is among
them. His birth-place was accidentally
Elsisbeu in Saxony, for his
parents, poor mine-laborers in a hamlet
near by, had gone to the Eisleben
Winter-Fair and in the tumnlt of this
scene, probably in wretched quarters,
on the 10th diy of November, 1483,
Mr?. Lather bore a son who was called
Martin from Saint Martin to whom
all devoat Catholics pray on this day
of the year.
These circnmstances furnish food ,
for reflection. Mrs. Lather had ac- (
companies her husband to purchase ,
their limited sopply of necessaries for ,
winter comfort; perhaps no more in- j
significant couple conld have been <
seen on tbesireets of Eisleben than J

Have you already outstripped my t
thought and has yoar mind reverted
to a still more humble birth-hour more ;
than 1900 years ago? Perhaps it is .
fitting that we say nothing, only ponder
over this comparison in silence. Con- !
sidering Luther's mission in this
world it was appropriate and we may '
say providentially ordered that he ;

morning while Rinsing wiMi his companions
and with a U j.-o c.i countenance

to give up his studies and return to

the attention of Ursula Coua,
the bui? inaster'o wife, who, t inched
by the story of his privations, otfered
him a shelter and a nlace at her board
for which she wae ever held io grutefal

Saxony. His enemies tried to terrify

jut Lather replied* "If the devils

people who crowded along the roadside
to see him, as all then feared, for

partly as a solemn peti;ion:
"'Whosoever deuieth me before

\ellow from ago. This book is Luther's
translation of the Bible in his owd
h md. It is almost with reverence that
one's e_.es follow the stroDg, welldefined,
not nograceful characters,
thinking whose forehead was often
bu..t over them in perplexity while the
pen wrote. The homely character of
Luther's translation made at once popular,
the people recognized in every
ooiiionpH i heir own familiar talk thonorh
| avutvvv >uv" ? ? o ~
fr.ed from dialect. Luther himself
says: "It was no easy ta^k. I sweat
bl > ?i and water trying to translate
theproph;ts into the vulgar tongue.
vVhit a lab>r to make these Hebrew
writers talk German ! 'Tis as though
you should force the nightingale to
forget her s*eet melody and sing like
the cuckoc. When Christ says 'Ex
abundantia cordis, os loquitor,' if I
follow the asses (meaning the Papists)
I should translate 'From the superabundance
of tbe immaterial part,
proceedeth lbs utterance,' unt is that
German? Who understands that sort
of talk? Thus speaks the mother in
the home: 'If the heart is full, the
mouth will out with it.'"
Luther and his scholarly friend,
Melanothon, once spent four days on
three lines of book ol Job before getting
a satisfactory rendering of the
original.
Tbe translation of the Bible would
alone be a wcrk sufficient to render

A German critic says of this
work: "In the Song of Solomon, we
feel the glow, the rapture, the ^rief ol
the lover in truly oriental colors. In
the Poaims, the tone is exalted to that
of prayer, the great visioi s of the
prophets are related iu fiery, inspiring
words; to reproduce these in their ,
individuality, shows a reach of intel- ,
lec'ual greitne.<5 that seldom belongs j
t<> one man." I

Besides, Lusher wa^ a po t and
musiciar. To him we owe th i introduction
of c nigre^ational singing in
the church service'. He oinpused
some 30 hymns and set several of them
to rnusx; the most widely known of
the-n is call-fi, "A Mighty Fortress is
Oar God," aud the f >l!owiug are two
stanz-is uf it:

Oue hundred )ears after its compo- fi
sitio u this hymn was used as a battle- c
hymn bv the'Swedes on that dreadful C
field of Lutzen in 1632, where half an h
hoar after kneeling with, the king at
their bead ana cnauuug .Liuiaers ti
hymn, the whole Swedish regiment, b
in tbe same perfect order in which it s
had chanted while living, lay dead n
beside its arms. C
Thru in the moment of triumph q
Gustavus Adolpbus Jaid down his life q
in defence of the principles enunciated b
by Luther, and by a victory dearly ti
purchased at the price of such a lead- a
cr, the power of the Papist party was 1<
held in check. n
Well might a discomforted Jesait y
elaim: "The h\mns of Luther have
lo^t for tbe Catholic religion more souls o
thai hi* books and sermons." Heinrich
Heine, a literary genius, an ex- a
iled lierman, ajew by oirtn. an atneist r
by belief, forgot his scoffing when o
speaking of Luther. He says: "All fc
glor> to Lniher. In bis translation of a
the Bib!e be created the German Ian- e
gua^c We owe to Luther the spiritual g
lreedom which the later literature of p
Germany, and for thit ma-ter ihe a
world, ueede l for it? development. ?
He himself, opens this literatuie, it c
besrirn with him; hi? spiritual son^s a
are the first material of if. Whoever ?
therefore proposes to speak about p
modern literature must begin with v
Luther." a
I once visited the old palaca in Ber- f
