A SKETCH OF THE GREAT MAN'S LIFE ,
An IiitorcHtlnij Hovlow of the llclig-
Ions World with Spcolul KcTer
ence to the Man Whoso
Name la Hovered.
This Is the anniversary of the birth of
Martin Luther , ono of the greatest reformers
the world has ever known. Ills rebellion
against and open denunciation of the wicked
customs of the cburch of Homo in the llt-
tccnth century gave birth to a revolution In
the Christian religion , which spread through
all northory Oeriritiy nnd , afterward , the
civilized world.
Ho was born at Elsloben on November 9 ,
1-IS3. Educated at the university of Erfurt ,
lie entered upon the life nnd work of a monk
of the AiiRUstluian order. About the year
101SJ ho made a visit to Homo and became
overwhelmingly convinced that the cburch
of Homo was doing n great wrong In selling
Indulgences , permitting ; people to commit
crimes of nil kinds and go unpunished , by
paying a certain sum of money to the church.
Luther began to preach against , this
practice when ho returned from Homo
nnd the condemnation ot the pope fell upon
him. Ho had , however , already made many
warm and powerful friends among tbo princes
of Germany , and the persecution of the
cburchouly urged him on to fereator activity
iu the work of spreading the rebellion. The
books and sermons circulated by Luther re
garding the sale of indulgences were ofllclally
condemned by the pope and ordered burned.
In reply to this treatment Luther took n
copy of the pope's proclamation and burned
t In the presence of a larco number of his
Irlends at Wlttenburg , Jlo was summoned
before the Diet of "Worms In 1621 , and there
in the presence of Charles V. ho defended hh
ideas of religious liberty , but was seized soon
nltorward and cast Into prison , 'i'lils only
increased the number of tils followers and
throw the whole of northern Germany Intoro-
bellton against the church. Lutnor ww
release nftcr ton years of Imprisonment nnd
spent the remainder of his life in publishing
tils views of Christianity and religious
liberty.
The Lutheran church Is now represented In
every civilized land , and nearly all denomina
tions of Christian worshippers on the face ol
the earth owe something to the llfo of Luthci
for the character of the creed In which thoj
believe.
There are ten churches nnd two missions ol
the Lutheran denomination In Qmalia. Thev
are the Danish Lutheran , at Ui l Noru
Twenty-tilth street ; the Danish Lutheran , al
810 South Twenty-second street ; the First
