Tlio Protestant Reformation To the reformers of the Sixteenth Century the Protestant Churches owe an unspeakable debt for having been led by them to the written source of all spiritual knowledge, the Scriptures, and to the recognition that every man has the right to go immediately to Christ and by faith claim His salvation. To these men, also, our modern civilization owes ! some of its noblest principles of uni i versal popular education and relig ious and civil liberty. They opened the pages of the world for God and they held up the lamp over the path way of modern progress and enlight enment. Individual Reformers Individual reformers had appear ed before who called upon the Church to return to the pure teach ing of the Scriptures and put aside the inventions of men. They appear ed in different parts of Europe: Wy clif in England; Huss and Jerome In Bohemia; Wessel and John of Wessel in the Lowlands, and Savonarola in Italy. Wyclif, who was called by the archbishop of Canterbury "a pestilent wretch" for having translated the Scriptures, died a heretic. Huss and Jerome of Prague were burned by the vote of the Council of Constance, 1415-1416. Savonarola suffered the same horrible fate in Florence, 1498, but no permanent movement of re form followed their preaching. Wy clif had called the pope "that man of sin" but the papacy went on cor rupt and arrogant ae before. The old superstitions continued. When Luth er began to preach reform, he did so Site For Second Baptist Church to Be Consecrated With Many Ceremonies Consecration services will be held to-morrow for the new site of the Second Baptist Church. The cere monies will commence at 3 o'clock. The Rev. Albert J. Greene, pastor, will lift the first shovel of dirt from the new location.

Here he called men away from what the Church taught about taue repentance and the source of salvation to what the Scriptures taught. He himself h'ad been moved by God to study deeply and with great diligence in the sacred volume in order to secure the assurance of faith for his own soul. Thus from an obscure town, as from another Nazareth, God called this man to give to Europe a knowl edge of the true teachings of the Scriptures and to defend the right of every Christian to own them and read them in his own tongue. The new movement spread to Ger man Switzerland, where it was led by Ulrich Zwingli, who died in battle, 1631. In Geneva, it had for its leader John Calvin, 1509-15U4, whose logic | al system of theology and Presbyter ian form of government—giving the I laity a share in the management of I the Church—were adopted in the larger part of Western Europe and were brought to this country by the Puritan Fathers and Puritans, the Presbyterians, the immigrants from Holland and parts of Germany, and the Huguenots. In Holland the Protestant Church passed through bloody persecutions brought upon the country by Philip 11, and the Spanish Inquisition. England gave many martyrs to the cause. William Tyndale had to llee from England to send forth the first copy of the New Testament printed in English. This he did at Worms on the Rhine, but the reformer himself was strangled and burned. Among the more proinieht martrys under Mary Tudor, 1553-1558, were Ridley, bishop of London, and Latimer, bishop of Worcester who were burned 1555, and Archbishop Cranmer, who suffered the same fate a year later. Cranmer wa sthe author of the Epis copal Book of Common Prayer and a firm Calvinist in doctrine. In Scotland the Reformation had John Knox for its leader. His parish was Edinburgh. The nation followed his stern and fervent preaching. Standing over Knox's grave, the re gent Morton said, "Here lies he who never feared the face of man." Almighty God, our Heavenly Fath er, grant unto us Thy humble ser vants, we beseech Thee, that prizing Thy Holy Word and guided and up held by Thy Spirit, we may walk , worthy of the high vocation where with we are called and, having borne a good testimony and fought the good tight, be received of Thee to the com pany of the redeemed In glory, through Thy Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
