"The Migrations of Birds,"
Topic of Autumnal Address
at Market Square
The services last Sunday night at
which the two flags were presented
to the church, were among the finest
of the special services held in re
cent years by this congregation. The
speech of J. E. B. Cunningham, in
presenting the flags, must be rated
among the finest oratorical efforts
heard in this city. The two flags will
be in their places to-morrow morn
ing; and all visitors will be able
to get a good look at them.
This congregation is showing its
patriotism by adjourning its prayer
meeting on Wednesday evening to
allow as many of the members as
possible to attend the meeting at the
Chestnut Street Auditorium where
Dr. Hillls is to speak.
Lovers of nature, schoolchildren,
students of bird life, frequenters of
the great outside world will be at
tracted by the sermon of the night.
The subject is "The Migrations of the
Birds." Most of our summer resi
dents have taken their southern
flight. Have they left any messages
as they went southward? The morn
ing sermon will have as its aim to
show people how to get their reli
gious feet on the rock, and know
It. "Certainty For Christians," is
the subject.
Preparations are being made to
carry out Governor Brumbaugh's
suggestion in his recent proclama
tion, to hold "Go-to-Sunday-School-

persons who are usually outside tho
Sunday school groups, to attend on
this date.

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

<IOO Years Ago
The Reformation was begun four
hundred years ago when, at high
noon, October 31, 1517, Martin Lu
ther posted up the XCV Theses on
the church door in Wittenberg. 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. Amen. 1

the third sermon of the series on the

"Christianity and the World-War,"
scheduled for October 28, will be dis
cussed on November 4.
The special topic, which will be
discussed Sunday evening, October
21, will be "Investments in Democ
racy," with the sale of the Second
Liberty Bond issue as the central
tfiought.
As the audltdtium has been
crowded for the first two sermons
of the series, K is anticipated that
a still larger crowd will be present
this Sunday evening to hear Dr. Bag
nell discuss this up-to-the-minute
topic.
Special patriotic music will be
gendered by the church chorus choir
under the leadership of Professor
John W. Phillips.

13 Ministers in
130 Years
THIS is the record for ZION LUTHERAN
CHURCH.
An average service of ten years for each
minister is the big reason for the remarkable
success of this grand old church. '
Zion Lutheran Church
has never stood still. Her motto has always been "Onward
Christian Soldiers."
Zion was the first church in Harrisburg. Nine of our
city Lutheran churches are direct descendants from Old
Zion. Thus her fruits are evidenced by the many Luther*
ans in Harrisburg and vicinity.
Zion is n pleasant and com for table church
in which to worship. The nermons are
helpful, the music Inspiring. All Scats Free.
