T II 15 SERMON.
Krri.AriON w 1 li. "Ami I w mother irrlRrilj angel comeitowti frmri
1 aten,--An(i he hml in hl ham! a little book open."
Yesterday was the four hundredth anniversary of the hirthday
of one, whose influence upon the Churrh Universal and the world,
i-. second only to that of St. Paul, the Circnt Apostle. So remark-
.ilile was the career and inlltienre of this man - Martin Luther -
t ml the renowned and venerable Kmperor of (icrmnny has issued
.in order that his four hundredth birthday should be celebrated
as a national festival throughout the Oerman Kmnire. On the
evening of the gtli of November, all the churdi bells are to be
rung, on the 10th, in the morning there will be a school festival,
.tnd in the evening liturgical or other preparatory services will be
performed; and today, the nth, Sunday, Luther's Hymns will be
Ming, while "the emperor especially expresses the wish that the
sermon should not seek the glorification of innn, but rather ex
press gratitude to (iod for the benefits granted to Germany by
means of the Reformation.-'
If Luther's lame and influence had been limited to the (ler
mHti ICmpiru or had been confined to the German people, there
would have been no special reason why other nationalities should
have participated in this festival, hut both the fame and influence
of Luther are world wide; hence we join in this grand universal
Festival. We do this, not for the glorification of man, but in
gratitude to God for raising up a Rcformer,so much needed in
his day and generation. "To all ages," remarks an American
writer, "his name will stand as that of the Great Liberator, to
vvho-,e miiul the world owes the progress it has made in civiliza
tion The whole world is his debtor. The England and America
of today arc what they are because of him." Referring to his
birth, Quisle thus writes: "In the whole world there was not a
more uniniortant pair of people than this miner and his wife
Luther's parents. And yd what were all Emperors, Popes and
Potentates m comparison? There was then born once more a
mighty man; whose light was to flame, as a beacon, over long
centuries and epochs of the world, the world and us history was
waiting for this man." It was said of Christ, by the Apostle
Paul, "Hut when the fullness of time was come God sent forth
his Son," so when the fulness of time was come Martin Luther
was born.
I am aware that there arc two classes of llible interpreters, one
of which refers the Hook of Revelation to times immediately fol
lowing the first proclamation of the gospel in the apostolic age,
and the other interprets this Hook as applying to the long succes
sion of ages, from the early period of Christianity to the final ron
sumatiou of all things. The latter class, with much propriety,
would apply to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th Century,
the mighty angel spoken of in my text in the 10th of the Hook of
Revelation, and holding in his hand a little book open. That
"littlo book 0Kll,n wnllld then lintlotlbtorlly roCor to tliw IliLla,
and its translation into the language of the common people of
Luropc, but especially of Germany. Luther says "When I was
twenty ) cars old 1 had never seen a Hible." At that period he
was a student in the University of lirfurt. While one day exam
ining the Library, he accidentally took from the shelf a Latin
Hible. The first iwssagc which arrested his attention was the
story of Hannah and her son Samuel. "I was reading," he says,
"a place in Samuel: but it wa-, time to co to lecture. 1 would
fain have read the whole Wk through, but there was no oppor
tunity men. J asked lor a Hible as soon os I entered the cloister."
I cannot now dwell in detail upon the many interesting inci
dents m the career of the Great Reformer, but only touch upon a
few salient points of the greatest importance. His bold and fear
less proclamation of the truth, brought him into direct conflict
with both the ecclesiastical and political rulers of the age. The
agitation became intense. The Pope, and Rings holding their
authority from him could not allow, of course, their authority to be
assailed, and denounced by a reformer like Luther. He is sum
moned to appear and answer, before the Emperor Charles V, at
Worms. His friends would dissuade him from attendance, and
his life was threatened if he should go, but his reply was, "If there
are as many devils in Worms, as there arc tiles 011 the tops of the
houses, I would still go thither." He went, and right manfully
acquitted himself in the presence of the Imperial Court and the
highest dignitaries of the Church. After leaving Worms, occurred
that memorable incident in his marvellous career, when his
friends, fearing he might be waylaid or molested, seized him on
the public highway, agreeable to the secret order of the Elector
Frederick, and hurried him away to the castle of Wartburg, where
he was imprisoned for ten months. While there be was engaged
in the translation of the Hible into the German language which
may be styled the crowning work of his life. Writes, D'Aubigne,
"Luther was sailed to present his nation with the Scriptures of
God. 'Hut same God who had conducted St. John to Patmos,
there to write his Revelation, had conducted Luther to the Wart
burg, there to translate the Hible." Thus it has ever appeared to
all fair historians.
I cannot refrain from here quoting an eloquent allusion to Lu
ther and his achievements which I heard nearly fifty years ago,
when an undergraduate of Amherst College. The Honorable
Udward Everett, Governor of Massachusetts, had been invited to
address the literary societies of the college. Referring to Luther
and his great undertaking, Mr. F.verett uttered the following lan
guage: "In the solemn loneliness in which Luther found him
self, he called around him, not so much the masters of the Greek
and Latin wisdom, through the study of the ancient languages, as
he did the mass of his own countrymen, by the translation of the
llible. It would have been a matter of tardy impression and re
mote efficacy, had he done no more than awake from the dusty
alcoves of the libraries the venerable shades of the classic teachers.
He roused up a population ol living, thinking men, his country
men, his brethren. He might have written and disputed in latin
to his dying day, and the elegant Italian scholars, champions of
the Church, would have answered him in tatin better than his
own, and with the mass of the people, the whole affair would
have been a contest letwcen angry and loquacious priests. " Awake,
all antiquity from the sleep of centuries !" He awoke all Ger
many and half Euroe from the scholastic sleep of an ignorance
worse than death. He took into his hands not the oaten pijie of
the classic muse , he moved tcj his great work, not
' to the Doruti tuoosl
Of flute. anJ toft iccurOett ;'
he glared the iron trumpet of his iother-tongue,-(the good
old baxon Irom which our own is derived, the lanuuaue of noble
thought and high resolve,) and blew a blast that shook the na
tions from Rome to the Orkneys. Sovereign, cituen,and jwasant,
started at the sound; and in a few short v ears, the noor monk.
who bad begged his bread, for a pious canticle, in the streets of
hisenach- no longer friendless, no longer solitary was sustained
by victorious armies, counlcmna'd by princes, and what wai u
thousand times more important than the supiiort of the brightest
crown in Christendom, revered as a sage, a licncfactor, and
a spiritual imrcnt, at the firesicks of millions of bis humble and
grateful countrymen "
'I his eloquent language of Mr hverett is worthy of the grand
theme and noble career of the great Reformer, who was detained,
for ten months as a voluntary prjsioncr in the Wartburgh Castle.
Having enjoyed the privilege on a beautiful July day, in the sum
mer of 1880, of ascending the mount upon which the castle Is
built, and of exploring its serious aiMrtmcnts, not omitting the
room where Luther labored at the translation of the Hible and of
touching the spot on the wall where he hurled his inkstand at the
Kvil Qne, I feel it no ordinary privilege on this .tooth Anniver
sary of his birth to contribute m humble share in keeping in fresh
remombranre the mighty deeds and noble acts of the Great Reformer.
If any one needs to have his enthusiasm quickened for Luther
I would suggest that he improve an early opjKirtunity to wander
through those lands of Europe especially styled Lutheran, which
it has been my privilege and that of so many of my countrymen to
visit. Descending from the Wartburgh, enter the vi'lagc of Kise
nnch, nestling at its base, where Mr. Everett speaks of the youthful
Luther, singing his morning carols and begging bread for a "pious
canticle," enter the house, where good Madam Cotta, gave him a
home ; go thence to Wittemhurgh, where cathedral and the whole
town arc replete with Lutheran mementoes and associations, go,
stand on the spot just outside the town where he burned the Pope's
bull; go, look on the bronzed doors of the church covered with
the "05 theses;" go, stand in Luther's pulpit ; go, view his por
trait and that of "his Catherine," by his friend the painter, Cran
ach ; go to the old monastery where he lived, the garden where
he worked ; walk the path where he and Mclanthon so often com
muned ; go to the study where he wrote, and the room where he
lectured ; look at a few remaining relics and souvencrs which are
so carefully jireservcd, aye, view the fragments of a glass vase,
which as tradition says, was broken by Frederick the Great; but
do not fail, to -visit the church where his remains arc entombed;
go, stand on the spot where repose the sacred dust of Luther and
Mclanthon. If your enthusiasm is still unawakened, then travel
through Germany and other Furopcan nations embracing the doc
trines of the Reformation, leaving the shores of the Old World,
cross the Atlantic and look upon a nation of 50,000,000 inhabit
ing a continent stretching from ocean to ocean, where, in the
words of an American editor, "the civil and religious liberty which
Luther gave to bis native land, attained its highest and broadest
development." Other parts of the world acknowlcge his influ
ence, and today will honor his memory. On our islands, I
rejoice that we have a noble monument to Luther's memory.
Our recently erected Chinese churches in Honolulu and at
Kohala might not inappropriately be styled Lutheran Chinese
Churches. I am certain neither would have been erected had not
Lutheran missionaries labored in China, during the last third of a
century. That noble pioneer missionary, Gutzlafl", succeeded by
Lechlcr and others, have conferred upon our islands, in the three
hundred Christian Chinese sent hither, a boon beyond the power
of language fully to describe. I cannot here refrain from quot
ing the following paragraph from a letter, written by the Rev. 15.
Hond of Kohala, which I received this morning. Mr. Hond,
the Hawaiian missionary, had been invited to administer the Lord's
Supper at the Chinese Church he writes:
"The ordinance was to me a very pleasant service, Inarrcd
only by my inability to express my aloha to my brothers and sis
ters. Every thing went off with quietness and solemnity. I was
filled with great thankfulness and no less wonder, that such a class
of people, naturally irreverent sl'lould have shown themselves so
much impressed and in sympathy. 'And these from the 1-and of
Sinim,' kept running through my mind, as I looked upon them only
juat- now n Pagans, mthe thick darkness of their native land I
was amazed and thankful that the privilege was granted me of
sitting clown with 60 fellow disciples from that far off land and of
communing with them, around the table of our common Lord.''
It requires no flight ol the imagination to-connect Luther with
this movement, any more than to associate the present state of
Christianity in Europe with the early missionaries to that once
heathen continent.
Go, visit India and Africa, and you will find Lutheran mis
sionaries have preceded you. What a noble missionary work has
been accomplished by the Moravians ! but they are Lutheran.
They have labored among the negroes of the West Indies, among
mc- HiiKiiJiianis 01 urecnianu, tnc Indians of North America! and

t".u nit ii.mtcs ui MiMuiua. yjniy a lew ypars since a monu
ment to the memory of two Moravian missionaries who labored
among the Indians in New England, was erected in Lichfield
County, Conn., and so remarkable were the labors of these Mora
vian missionaries, that Mrs. Ilemans has immortalized their names
and deeds in one of her poems entitled ''The Unrevenged.'
Returning from our excursion in various lands, to gather evi
dence of Luther's world-wide influence, let us go to Rome, for
thither all roads lead according to the traditional saying. Goto
the church where you may see, as it was my privilege some years
since, the famous "Pilate's staircase," which Luther was told
had been miraculously brought from Jerusalem to Rome
Up that staircase he undertook to ascend on his knees, in the
way of penance, and that he might make atonement for his sins,
but when a part of the way up he heard a voice crying from the
bottom of his heart as at Wittcmburg and Hologna, " The just
shall live by faith." "This text," says D'Aubigne, "had a
powerful influence on the life of Luther. It was a creative sen
tence, for both the reformer and the reformation. It was in these
words, God then said, 'Let there be light I and there was light.'
Here was laid the foundation of his subscqunte commentary on
Paul's epistle to the Galatians, -and his other writings on this
grand fundamental doctrine of Justification by Faith, and faith
alone, now the grandly animating and inspiring doctrine of all the
sects and churches of Evangelical Christians throughout the world.
The views of Luther upon this cardinal doctrine are admirably
set forth in the following protest :
" I, Martin Luther, thus profess and thus believe : That faith
alone without works can justify before God, and that this article
shall never be overthrown, neither by the Emperor, nor by the
Turk, nor by the Tartar, nor by the Persian, nor by the Pope,
with all his cardinals, bishops, sacrifices, monks, nuns, kings,
princes, 'lowers of the world, nor by the devils in hell This
article shall stand fast whether they will or no. This is the true
Gospel. Jesus Christ redeemed us from our sins, and he only.
This is the doctrine, 1 teach . and this the Holy Spirit and church
of the faithful have delivered In this I will abide. Amen."
Centuries have proved the truth of Luther's vyords.
In reviewing the ife and times of Luther, it appears that he
was not only a Reformer of Papal abuses unblushingly advocated
by such men as Tetrid and his associates, but he was also a pro
moter of popular education. The late Professor Sears, agent for
the distribution ot the Peabody Educational Fund in the Southern
States of America, than whom no man was better able to express
an opinion upon the subject of popular education in Germany, in
his life of Luther thus .remarks: "The reformers were the fathers
f .t... r -..,. i- ,.1 ;- ; 1 ' 1 ...
ui iiiu vicimaii sysic-iii ui euucucion, improved indeed, out never
radically changed, by their successors, for a jicriod of three cen
tujjes. The traveler who visits Eisleben sees in a flourishing con
dition the very gymnasium which was established by Luther as
the last act of his life. 'Hie school of I'forta, near Naumbcrg,
where a greater number of accomplished classic scholars have
been educated than in anyother gymnasium or grammar school in
the world, had a similar design." Luther remarks, "If I were to
leave my office as preacher, I would next don that of a school
master or a teacher of Uovsj for 1 know ncM to preaching, this is
the greatest, best, and most useful vocation; and I am not quite
sure which of the two is the better, for it is hard to reform old
sinners, with whom the preacher has to do, while the young tree
can be made to bend without breaking. '
Luther's greatness appears also in his broad, healthy and scrip
tural views respecting the family institution. He utterly repudi
ated the old Catholic teaching, that in a monastic and unmarried
life, was to be found the highest and best tvpe of piety. His mar
riage of "Katharina von llora" formerly a nun, indicated, most
unmistakably, his view respecting the marriage institution. That
this step, naturally led to any amount of gossip throughout all
Catholic countries, was to be expected but the happy' results can
not be fully estimated. Had he not taken this step, would the
German people have celebrated Christmas and their family re
unions, is they have done for more than three centuries? Hut from
the family institution must flow, according to Luther, untold bless
ings to both the State and the Church. "For the family," he says,
"is the primary government, whence all other government and
dominion on earth take their origin. "bee to it, he says in
another place, "that your children are instructed in spiritual
things, that you surrender them first to God, and then to worldly
occupations."
When speaking of I uther's views respecting the education of the
young, it is becoming to refer to his love for music and the impor
tance of giving instruction in schools tijion the science of music
Listen to his language upon this subject: "It is a beautiful and
lovely gift of God; .it hath often so excited and moved me, as to
give me a desire to 'preach. I have always been fond of music
He who undcrstandcth this sort of art is the right sort of a man
and is fit for anything else. It is needful that music be taught in
schools. A schoolmaster must be able to sing or I do not think
much of him." Luther's idea of music and its influence falls in
with that of Shakespeare, who says, in the Merchant of Venice r
" The mm that huh no music In himself,
Nor is not moved with concnnl of wcet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, slratnycms, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit arc dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erclme.
Let no such man be misled."
" Music comcth near to theology; I would not exchange my
little of it for much money. The young should be constantly
taercised in this art, for it refines and improves men. 'I here can
be no doubt that, in minds which are affected by music, arc the
seeds of much that is good. Music affectcth what theology alone
can effect besides it givcth peace and a joyful mind, therefore
the prophets have employed no art as they have music. Hence it
comcth, that by teaching truth in psalms and hymns they have
joined theology and music in close union." Once hearing some
friends singing t-omc beautiful chants, he remarked: "If our Lord
has scattered such admirable gifts on this earth, what will it not be
in the life eternal, in which all will be perfection." Co temporary
with Luther was that gifted German composer of choice hymns,
Hans Sachs. Literally hundreds, if not thousands of his hymns
have ever since been enlivening the music of the German people.
Luther himself was both a writer of hy inns and a composer of music.
1 trust that the spirit which animates us and the great gatherings
in other lands, assembled to commemorate the birth of -the great
Reformer, is not that of those of whom we read in holy writ, they
" build the tombs of the prophets and garnish the sepulchres of
the righteous." As has been apUy remarked, "the truest com
memorative service when the sermon is spoken and the oration is
delivered, nnd the festivities have ended, will be to recognize and
sustain the Luthers of to-day, the men who arc working in his
spirit. Reverence for Luther will be proved by respecting the
Lutheran spirit." Noble and true men of his character arc still
needed, hence there comes to us from over the water the opinion
expressed by President Hitchcock, of Union Presbyterian Theo
logical Seminary of New York, and endorsed by high authority, in
the Episcopal Church of the United States, " that the next Luther
would be of the Petrinc type, whose tripod would be the Sermon
upon the Mount, St.' Peter's pentceostal Sermon, and the
ethical epistle of James." Most respectfully would I beg to
differ from the opinion of my college class-mate, Dr. Hitchcock.
I am of the belief that if any future magnate in thechurch shall be
raised up, by the great Head of the church, worthy to be styled a
Luther, he will not be of the Petrinc or Paul'nc type, but rather
the Johannean. The future will not demand men to write apolo
gies as in the early days of Christianity or polemic and controver
sial treatises of subsequent ages, but men animated with the zeal
and spirit of the apostle John, the bosom, fiiend of our Divine
Redeemer. The gr.md theme of all future ministers, evangelists,
and missionaries, is to be " God so loved the world." Love is to
be inscribed on the future banner of the church. Jl'hc church and
the world arc both tired of polemics and contr6versy. The old
fable of .-Esop has not lost its moral. The fierce blast and stormy
ind could not disrobe the traveller, but the mild and warm rays
of the noun day sun was all-effectual. The sun of righteousness,
is ascending to meridian splendour and glancing abroad his mild
rays in all lands.
Those learned in ecclesiastical history inform us that thechurch
since the ascension of our Lord has had its apostolic, apologetic,
scholastic and reformatory periods, but now we have entered upon
the missionary period, and a century has elapsed since this last
period was inaugurated. Fully believing that the great Head of
the church raised up noble, learned and pious men suited to each
successive period, so we now believe He is calling into the field of
missionary labor and trial, just the men needed for the emergency.
These are men of grand practical capabilities, able to go forth as
missionaries to heathen lands, there to grapple with all the diffi
culties of languages as yet unreduced to a written form, and in
due time translate the llible into those languages and dialects.
Such men should possess the marked ability to encounter men,
civilized and uncivilized, and push their way if necessity re
quire into the most unexplored regions, and if lost in the dark
continent some men of equal boldness, may be sent to look them
up. This missionary age requires men of the Livingstone, the
Moffatt, the Williams, the l'atttson, the Judson, the Gutzlaff type.
Such men are wanted as Hible translators and preachers, to the
millions of Asia and Africa. It requires men of the purest,
noblest, and most heroic character to carry forward this work, and
when they go forth fully equipped, note, how- they command ad
miration and respect in the highest circles of Christian scholar
ship. Writes Professor Hodge, of Princeton Theological Semin
ary, accounted among the ablest divines and theologians of the
age, near the close of a long life of eminent usefulness in the
Presbyterian church of the United States: -" What 1 have done
is as nothing compared with what is done by a man who goes to
Africa and labors among a heathen tribe and reduces their Ian
guage to writing. 1 am not worthy to stoop Jmon and loose the
shoes of such a man.
1 he marching orders of our great Captain do not read, "Go
ye into all the world, dispute with unbelievers, argue with sceptics,
confound infidels, silence atheUts, controvert the false opinions of
your brethren, spend your strength in writing elaborate discourses,
to meet the views of the wise and prudent of this world," but our
orders do read, "Go ye into all the world and rKKACii the gospel
to every creature, teaching 'hem to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen."
