GENIULi OF' PROTEST4NTISIYI
BY RE :Y. P SCHAFF, D. D
This tenth of November is the birthday
of the greatest man of modern times, who,
though but an humble monk and teacher,
shook church and the world by the pow
er of faith, and gave a new course to the cur
rent of history The name of LUTHER be
longs to no party o-r sect, but to the Chris
tian world-, - the hero of the Reformation needs
no eulogy; Protestantism is his imperishable
monument. flis nailing of tha ninety-five
theses to the door of the castle church at
Wittenberg was the signal of a mighty move-
meat, which drew into itself the best relig
ious and inte:lectual forces of Western Chris
tendom, and is still moving on with ever in
creasing volume, carrying the open Bible and
the blessings of Christian liberty to the most
distant nations of the globe.
The Reformation of' the sixteenth century ,
is an event second in importance only to the
first introduction of Christiavity. It is the
cradle of the Protestant churches It is the
fountain head of those mighty ideas and
principles which have been the moving and
controlling forces of' history during the last
three tie dreiraffillifty -- years - . -- It-was -not
an abrupt and isolated event, but the ripe
fruit of seed scattered centuries before
The invention of the art of printing; the dis
covery of America, the revival of letters,
culminating in the first printed edition ut the
Greek Testament; the struggles of the mys
tics for a more inward, spiritual religion, and
direct communion with Christ; the reforma
tory labors of Wiclif in. England, Buss in*
Bohemia, Wessel in Germany and Bolland,
Savonarola in s ltaly, and the cry of leading
dkvines and three General Councils of the
mediaeval Catholic Church itself, for a 'ref
ormation in the head and the members, Were
as many preparations which resulted in the
Protestant Reformation. It carried with it
the best forces of the preceding life of cath
olic Christianity, as Christianity itself gath
ered into it all the revelations of the Old
Testament, and fulfilled the hopes and aspi
rations of the race after salvation.
Lutheranism in Germany and Scandinavia,
Zwinglianism in Switzerland, Calvinism in
France and Holland, Anglicanism in Eng
land, Presbyterianism in Scotland, Puritan-,
ism of the seventeenth century, Moravian
ism and Methodism of the eighteenth, the
revival of evangelical Christianity in the
nineteenth, the Bible, Missionary and other
*enevolent Societies of the present day, arc
he simultaneous or successive waves of the
.ame great movement of the sixteenth centu•
ry.
Those different Protestant organizations
have each a peculiar mission to fulfill, and
thole is room for them all. But with all
their differences oferecd, discipline, and cut
tus, they are moved by the same principle,
and labor for the same end. The principle
of Protestantism is evangelical freedom in
Christ, its aim to bring every soul into di
rect relation to 'ihrist. Romanism puts the
Church first and Christ next; Protestantism
reverses the order. Romanistri says: IV here
the Church is (meaning thereby the Papal
organization) ' there is Christ; Protestantism
says: Where Christ is, there is the Church;;
Botuanistu says: W here the Catholic tradi
tion is, there is the Bible and the infallib!e
rule of faith; Protestantism says: Where the
Bible is, there is the true tradition and the
inlalllble rule of faith; Rt.manbtrn- says:—
..elLx3. Xxictorseii clout Vim:kmll.ye N-43-awistroa,roe3rh.
Where good works are, there is faith and
justification; Protestantism says: Where faith
is, there is justification and good works.—
Rotnanism throws Nary and the saints be
tween Christ and the . believer; Protestant-,
ism goes directly to the Savior. Roma.nism
proceeds from the visible church (the Papa
cy) to the invisible; Protestantism from the
•••ible church (the true body of Christ)
to the visible; Romanistur works from with
out, ant from the general to the particular;
Protestan ism from within, and from the in
dividual to the general. Protestantism is a
protest against the tyrany of man, on the
'basis of the authority of God. It proclaims
the Bible to bo the only infallible rule of
-Christian faith and practice, and teaches jus
tification by grace alone, as apprehended by
a living faith. It holds up Christ as all in
all, whose Word is all-sufficient to teach,
-whose-graua is all , E-iffloient - to - save ltsmis
sion is to realize the universal priesthood and
kingship of all believers, by bringing them
all into direct union and fellowship with
Christ.
According to Protestpnism, vraon with
Christ is the only - true basis of the commu•
nion of saints; while Romanism makes visi
ble church union the laisis of union with
Christ We say: The nearer see approach
to Christ, the nearer we approach• to each
other. The unity we seek is a free unit ,
hist - iivcdk ltelreirer Nri — r — r . I • • • WWI
of piety in their tallest developginent, not a
compulsory uniformity that restrains or de
stroys individual freedom.
Protestantism is not a babel of con tradio
tions You might as well deny the unity of
our-nation on account of the - independent
State governments and the rival political par
ties, as to deny the unity of Protestantism
on account of the different denominations
and conflicting schools of theology. •All.true
chriatiaus are one in Christ, their common
peal , eet wily at--t}:
grace, eat of the same Bread of life, have
the same faith, love, and hope, and travel to
the same Father's home in heaven.
But this unity of Protest
should find a visible expression. This is
just the mission of the 'EVANGELICAL AL

deriotutuatious, for which the time has not
yet come, it it ever will come Wore the mil

nominations, for mutual encouragement, and
the promotion of fraterual intercourse and
htont , my. it endeavors to cherish, draw out,
anti bring into action the spiritual unity
which already existaind to --- mlik — o it more
effective fur the common ends of all th e
churches of Christ. Communion of saints
on the basis of union with Christ; this is our
motto.
The,uioreindividual-Christians draw to
gether in the `sawe spirit, the more the va
dons denominations will forget thcir rivalries
and strife, and bid each other tiod-speed in
the prosecution, of their Master's work.—
Thep way continue their separate organiza
tions, but they will publicly recognize each
other as branctrn - of the same family; culti
vate brotherly intercourse, and present to the
midi, in all essential questions and for all
practical purposes, the sublime spectacle of
a united army, fighting under the same Cap
tain and the same victorious banner.
That this is no dream or - idle speculation,
has been proved by the events of the last
week. A Presbyterian Council, representing
five distinct Presbyterian organizations, laid,
in the City of Brotherly Love, the solid foun
dation for organic union, and, what is still
more remarkable * openly joined hands and
hearts with Protestant Hpiscopal Societies
which prtvidentially held their universaries
at the saute time and in the same place
Looking—not backward to past dissensions,
but forward and upwafd — to corning, glory—
these two venerable bodies confessed with
one mouth the Apostles' Creed— the most
ancient and catholic of all creeds—and the
filth of the ltefoi•mation, and melted togeth•
er under the irrests:ibie power of the bless
ed Spirit of God. The angels in heaven re
jaico over this sublime spectacle, 'and ex—
claimed: Behold they'pray; bcho.d they are
one in Christ Jesus, their common Lord and
Saviour, the great' Head of the Church,
which is his body, the fullness of him that
filleth all in all.
Now, let us perpetuate this spirit, and
spread it over the whole country, until the
last prayer of our blessed Saviour be fulfill

know is,to do a geed action by stealth and

SELF-RESTRAINT
"lle knew himself, and knowing he controlled."
Self-restraint is one of the most important
of' duties as well as virtues. It should be
'exercised daily and haurly. Without it,
error and guilt and crime are inevitable.
There is no individual, however wise, how
ever elevated, or however powerful, who
dose not feel that at times and seasons, his
passions, his prejudices, his appetites, and
hie tastes, require to be controlled and re
strained. The defects of his nature attain
the mastery; and, but for the exorcise of a
powerful mental and moral effort, he would
wander into - th - a wrong pull, consmi some
excess, or perpetrate some injustice. But,
'the still small voice' within admonishoo.
_he pauses, reviews his position,- hia—inelina
tion and the path before him, exercises the
virtue of SELF-RESTRAINT, and is saved for
the time. If he pursue anothcr course—if I
_he disregard-the-whisperings - of - reason and
of conscience—if he permit the mere animal
to exercise the mastery—if he cannot or will
not restrain himself, the consequences will
be sad—often deplorable. anew thyself'
—is the aphorism of an ancient sage. Such
knowledge is indeed important. - Unless-we-
Understand our own frailties and infirmities

control ourselves. All are more or less de
fective, and there are few who see them
selves as others see then. Nay, it fre
quently happens that the very frailties and
and infirmities that we detect and deplore in
others, exist in ourselves to a still more se
rious extent, and yet without our knowledge.
We cannot or will not recognize or oonfess
them. Hence, either blinded by prejudice,
by passion, or by selfishness, we are unable
to apply the remedy which seems so shot"
he qf other- e delude P.
in the cases of others. ~mde ourselves
into a belief that all men are mortal but our
selves; and thus, instead of practising the
virtue of self restraint, we fancy or assume
to fiin cy„that-we-do not-require-the erercise
of any such controlling power. And yet
scarcely a day goes by, in_which_errors=are
- not - canata plybecause we will not
or cannot restrain ourselves. How often
does a garrulous tongue get us into trouble!
How frequently do we speak rashly and
rapidly, without thinking of what we are
saying, or of the effect which is likely to be
produckl. And so with almost every move
ment of life. The conservative power of
SELF-RESTRAINT is forgotten._ or—neglected.
flay a few days since, a young man of ex
celleut temper, kind heart,'atupie means and
many accomplishments, admitted that be
was living a little too fast, and had become
too fend of the wine cup. He felt the evil
eiTects; - both in body and mind, and he know
that he was not only damaging his charac
ter, but shortening his life, Nevertheless,
with these admissions, and with those pros
pects before him, he could not practice the
virtue of self-restraint. The abyss yawned,
ho saw it, he felt the impulse-that was hur
rying him on; and yet he could not, or would
not, avoid his fate. And so with almost
every other pernicious practice. There •is
scarcely an individual alive who is not per
fectly conscious that he is indulging in some
error—that he is perpetrating some evil—
and that some vile habit has to a certain ex
tent, the control of him. Again and again .
ho will determine to amend and reform.
And yet the multitude
"Resotur, and re-molve ant/ Sulk: same,'
There is scarcely a criminal io the Peniten
tiary who, if he look back and. review the
past, cannot point out a period in which,
had ho exercised the virtue of self-restraint,
bud he obeyed the "still small voice of con
science," he would have turned from the
- error of his way,and become a useful mem
ber of society. But he lacked the moral
courage, and now he repents his infirmity
and the consequences, in sackcloth and
ashes. It is difficult to abandon a - habit.,
however pernicious, when it is the result of
years of practice, and has thus become iden
tified, to a certain extent, with our very be
ing. It then forms part of cur daily life, so
to speak. But in the beginning, the infat
uation may be subdued. Nay, there is al
ways hope; audit is far less difficult to over
come an evil propensity, after one or two
vigorous trials, that; the infatuated are apt
to imagine. II the effort ha made in a de
termined spirit, and with a view to all the
consequences, the end will surely be aotom
plished: A solemn duty with parents, is
not only to inculcate the principle, but to
teach the practice of self-restraint, Only a
short time has gone by, since we recorded
the execution of a father for the murder of
his son. The wretched
. old m an , a l aw
!Mantes before he was launched into eternity
admitted that his Ti , ;1111'.1:11. had always been
violent, that unfortunately lie had never re•
straiuod or controlled it, and that hence, he
was about to expiate nis mo s t unnatu ra l
ofleace upon the scaffold. But illustrations
way be found in every walk of life. A large
portion of mankind are too impulsive, too
passionate, too hasty,
s tet) eager, and too
reckless. They forget and disregard the re
straints which should be imposed by educa
tion,
by good feeling, by consideration, by I
sound murals, or by cultivated iottellect; and
hence. errors and indiscretions are constantly
committed. It is, of course, unreasonable!
to cape& perfection in human nature, how- 1
ever refitted or elevated, and yet • the indi•
vidual who understands himself, who, aware
of' his weaknesses and propensities, is con
siderate and thoughtful, and thus constantly
practices 8 ELS RESTRAINT, will escape many
anxieties difficulties and iniafortunes, which
a disregard of this duty, and a violation of
this virtue, will ininiediately proroke.—

AModel Merohant.
A merchant of New York, during the late
war, made a entrees with a .meehanio to
supply him with
. a quantity of ttn cans. Not
long after this the price of tin rose so much
that the contractor must lose money by com
pleting the work at the price agreed upon.
However ho said 11_0W
livering the cans. Whe - n the first bill for
pay of the cans was received, the employer
called upon him and said:
understand you are_ loseing money ou
this job.'
- 'Yes,' replied the contractor, 'but I can
stand it; a contract is a contract, you know.'
'How much will you lose ?' asked the gen
tleman.
_ 'Oh ! no matter,' was the reply; 'I d9n't
complain, and you ought not to.'
'I insist on knowing.'
'Well, since you desire it, I shall lose so
much a hundred, naming the amount.
'Well, sir,' said the noble hearted man,
'you must not lose this—it would not — be
right, I shall add the amount to your bill,
and, as the price of material may still rise,
I w;11 advance you the money fur the whole
contract, which no doubt, you can now use
to advantage.
The difference thus paid, to which the
contractor had no claim , amounted to five
hundred dollars. That was something more
than business honesty: it was Christian prin
ciple carried out in business. The woriil
needs just such examples to convince it of
the truth of religion.
