The Reverend N. MICKLEM , D.D.:
'Luther'
From the turmoil of the sixteenth censy Reformation nothing emerged of greater importance to the political and religious life of Europe than Luther's foundation of Protestant belief-that religion is an affair between the individual and his God. The mysticism, the sense of sin and the dynamic energy of this German monk coincided with and made articulate the temper of his Germany: aided by the self-regarding support of the German princes, his attack on the Roman Church in a time of weakness broke its hold over a large part of Northern Europe and established the Protestant Reformation in fact. Impossible as it is to isolate all the consequences of Luther and Lutheranism, it is certain that his influence, and that of Calvin, is largely responsible for the moral background and religious organisation from his own day to our own of the Anglo-Saxon and Protestant Teutonic nations ; in fact, for the thing called Puritanism.
