SATURDAY' EVENING,
THE QUADRICENTENNIAL OF
THE REFORMATION
History and Growth
By Rev. H. C. Hollo way, I). D.
"She sent out her boughs unto the
sea, and her branches unto the river."
This may be truthfully said of the
Lutheran Church as to her develop
ment. No one country could be tlie
boundary of such a church. The word
of God is not bound; and Luther hav
ing found that word, labored to the
end that others should also have it.
As a historical fact religious freedoia
was first planted on American soil by
French Protestant Lutherans in 1569,
antidatlng the Pilgrims llfty-six years.
Bancroft, Vol 2, page 60—tells us that
outside of Mexico, the very first colony
in North America was a Protestant
Colony planted by Jasper Coligni on
the St. John's river, Florida. They
were Franch Protestant Lutherans.
Not long after this, Pedro Menendes,
commander of an armament which
belonged to the King of Spain, Philip
IV, also came to those shores, declar
ing: "I have come to destroy and
hang all the Lutherans 1 can find on
land or sea," and 900 men, women and
children were heartlessly butchered in
cold blood. "Not as Frenchmen, but
as Lutherans." was the Inscription
placed over some who were hanged to
trees. This was the first blod shed
on the American continent for con
science and liberty's sake.
Sixty-nine years later in 1638 some
Swedish Lutherans, with their Bibles
and manuals of devotion, landed in
the neighborhood of Lewes in the
State of Delaware. They purchased
land from the Indians, and after build
ing a fort, tho first house they erected
was a church. This was the first
Evangelical Lutheran Church erected
on this continent. From this seed
corn of the good word, "behold what
hath God wrought!" What multitudes
have gathered to her standard.
Lutheran Oldest and largest
The Lutheran Church is not only
the oldest but also the largest of
Protestant Churches. She is world
wide and truly Catholic. Numerically
idle far outstrips all others. There is
not a continent, country, or island of
the .sea where this mother of Protest
antism does not hold up the Cross of
Christ. Zockler counts the number of
Protestants in the world 150,000,000,
on which basis the Lutherans number
75,000,000. The Lutheran Church
preaches the gospel in more languages
than any other. "Not only, then, is
the Lutheran the most cosmopolitan
in character, but lias as many com
municants as all the other Protestants
put together." This vast army of
Lutherans extends from Arctic Green
land to "Tropical Australia, from lard
to land and from sea to sea. Verily
the churches of the Augsburg Con
fession engirdle the globe. "Their line
is gone out through all the earth, and
their words to the end of the -world."
Growth Unparalleled
The growth of the Lutheran Church
In the ITnited States is unparalleled.
From the little vine planted on the
Delaware in 163 8 vast multitudes have
grown. The Lutherans at first were
under great disadvantages because of

language and were scattered as sheep
without a shepherd. But in 17 48
things took a better turn under the
patriarch, Muhlenberg, who organized
the first Lutheran synod, composed of
seven clerical members. Now the
Lutherans in this country have 10,000
ministers; 15,112 churches and 2,500,-
000 communicants with a Lutheran
population of ten million. This growth
is altogether unparalleled by that of
any other ecclesiastical body in the
United States, as shown by the govern
ment census. Commenting on these
figures, the Rev. Dr. Carroll, govern
ment official for taking the religious
census, says in the Independent: "The
growth of the Lutheran Church dur
ing the last decade has been phenom
enal. While the rate of increase in
the entire population since 1880, has
been a fraction over 28 per cent., the
Lutheran Church has increased by 68
per cent., or more than twice the rate
of increase of the population of the
country." It will not dot to talk of
Christianity declining in our country
when there is one denomination, tlie
Lutheran—which builds, upon an
average, a new churoli every work
ing day in the week." /
First Paper Mi 1881
The first periodical was The Luth
eran Observer, published in 1831 in
the English language. Now there are
270 Lutheran periodicals published in
tWelve or more languages. In 1832
the first college—Pennsylvania College
at Gettysburg, was founded; now
there are 41 Lutheran Colleges, with;
upwards of 5,000 students. There are
29 Lutheran theological seminaries,
with 1264 students. Sixty-one academ
ies, with 6742 students, and 162
Orphans' Homes and Institutions of
Mercy, 14 Missionary Societies, sup
porting 323 missionaries. Foreign mis
sions are maintained in India, Africa
and J.-rpan for tvhich large amounts
>iro appropriated every year. There
are fifty hospitals with 53,896 patients,
and 9 Deaconess Homes, with 355
sisters. There are 19 hospicies with
4.673 guests, and 13 publishing houses.
The Lutheran Church Year Book
places the synodical contributions for
benevolence for 1915 at $3,526,428.
This unparalleled growth of the
Lutheran Church in the United States,
in all these respects, Is a matter of
surprise and solicitude to one brethren
of other households of faith. But
there is nothing either startling or
strange in this. It is simply that the
Mother of Protestantism is preparing
to enfold all her children in her arms.
And while this marvelous growth
must stir every Lutheran heart, never
was there such an obligation laid upon
the Lutherans in the United States as
now.
May they have the energy, the
judiciousness, and the consecration, to
be equal to the hour!
Moreover, as the Lutheran Church
nave to the world that boon of civil
and religions liberty, which is the
peculiar glory of our institutions, the
genius of Lutheranism is especially
adapted to the spirit of America,
