Mr. Griggs then spoke ot nis mar- gars. jssoT and of tbe sweetness and tenderness ol bis domestic life. Martin Luther did not stand for re ligious toleration, which Is one of the choicest fruits of that century or ctvii strife which followed. In his character we see coarseness, Intolerance and superstition on the one side, and on the other strength, moral earnestness I and sincerity.

Whether the same prog ress would eventually have been made In civilization without the movement of which Luther was the center, can be answered. The movement was reactionary in its Immediate effects.and it was wasteful In many respects. It can be satd, however, that tnere are tunes when, conciliation to. be the highest virtue and when the deeps must be stirred to produce a quickening of the human spirit. It Is enough to know that for much of the life and light we of the present day enlov are indebted to this second awakening in Germany, of which Mar- tin Luther was tint TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.

Discuss "Methods of Study," at Their Methods of Study," was the subject of a paper lead at the meeting of the Teachers' association, Tuesday night, by Supt. Edgerly. There was a large attendance of teachers and the paper listened to with close attention. The election of officers occurs at the next meeting, and the president was authorized to appoint a nominating KYiiinwinir Mr PMiwiv's address rp. fhaffef were' made by Principal Hitch -1 cock and others, and the usual dis- 1 cussion of the evening followed Mr Edgerly spoke substantially fol lows Discussions too frequently relate to theories rather than to the actual work of schools.

Nq one of us can plead not guilty. Let us not attempt to criticise our neighbor. Theories and devices without number are presented. The, educational store-bouse resembles the depository con nected with the patent office at wash- We rush to extremes claiming that schools will be made well nigh perfect by the introduction of our'favorlte methods. These "reforms" sweep over the land.

Some of us can recall the "re forms and introductions" which were destined to-revolutionize tiie system, such as phonetics, moulding boards, abolishing the spelling book and the mental arithmetic, supplementary reading, etc. 'Time would Use. All excitement has passed, teachers must settle down. to -the every day work of the school and wait for the next revival Complaint js heard at the present time that pujUs do not know how to study. High school teachers affirm, with decided unanimity, that the aver age pupil coming from- the grammar scnooi laars tne aunty or tne inclina tion to apply himself to a set task.

The pupil seems to think that he goes to school to be entertained, not for the purpose of studying. The school is not materially unlike the church and other agencies ol the present nay. There is a lack of individual responsi bility. The preacher or the teacher must do the work. A president of a leading college made the statement recently, that many of the young men now entering college are In the condition of the young mar described by one of the noted; humor ists of the day.

The president of the institution said to the young man who applied for admission- "What are the particular subjects you desire our accomplished professors to study fo: you?" Tl'fB' )Upi norne-TiTe-Is-of such -character that there Is little chance for study out- aide of school. The most of the time at school in many instances Is devoted to recitation when the teacher does the most of the reciting and as a suit, the pupil is not trained to get the most from the printed page. investigation reveals ine ract that in the high school some pupils are re citing every hour, while others can find not more than two hours' time during the week for sti.dy at school Three or four lessons must be learned out of school and with the demands upon the time" of pupils out of much must be left for the recitation period There Is evidently some basts for the criticism, now so generally heard, that there is a lack of inde pendent thought on the part of many pupils, notwithstanding the fact which Is generally admitted that pupils are acquiring general information. Numerous Illustrations were presented by the speaker with the view of enforcing the points under discussion- Police Court, Gallagher, Judge. Two men who didn't know when they had taken enough, Tuesday, were taxed $5 each for their lack of wisdom, this morning.

The Arst one called was at first unwilling to admit it, and after a few mutterings pleaded not guilty, and said that he wanted to be tried right off. This brought a continuance of he case till tomorrow morning, ana that made the man think he might have made a mistake. He jumped up right off and said he would retract and then came his (5 fine. Chief Tlnsley took occasion to tell the court that the man has been causing much trouble at his homef and In his neighborhood and several complaints have been made about him, A youth pleaded not guilty of breaking and entering a car which was set off on the A.

Due notice Is hereby served on the Hazel Salve Is the only salve on the martlet that is made from the pure, unadulterated witch hasel. DeWltt's Witch Hazel Salve has cured thousands of cases of piles that would not yield to any other treatment, and this fact has brought out many worthless counT terfelts. Those persons who get the genuine DeWltt's Witch Hazel Salve are never disappointed, because It i Tbe subject ol the lecture by Edward Howard Griggs at tbe normal school, Tuesday was "Martin Luther," -whose character and mission, Mr. Griggs said be would do his beat Kto preseut, not from the point of view of a particular confession or philosophy but as an open and appreciative student of history, with the aim not to praise or condemn, but to understand. Mr.

Griggs spoke of tbe extreme dif ficulty of estimating characters about whom tbe storms of History have beaten It is hard to free the mind from Impressions made by historical narrations to which, a BUbtle coloring of praise or blajn has been given -by -the-prejudices i of the narrators. The Protestant needs to be warned against a wrong estimate of how great a positive force the catholic caurcb had been in the prog ress of human civilisation. The Catho lic ought not to hesitate to give due credit to Luther's sincerity of pur- gard his work and its results from a merely negative point of view. In Erasmus we have the central figure of the first awakening which came over tbe Northern world. He repre- and fertilize society through the most Intelligent downwards.

Martin Lutber was 16 years younger than Erasmus, but while contemporaneous he represented the great change that had come over the spirit of Germany. He was the central figure of a second movement. which took its impulse from the wakening of the national spirit and the simple tested against tbe degenerate tendencies' ofXtaflan IlfT during the renaissance 1 and Luther's escape from the fate of John HUS' and earlier reformers like Savonarola was due to the fact that the German national spirit was behind him. Luther was born in 1483 of peasant parentage, and bad the sturdy physical qualities of his virile ancestry. His parents had higher than the average ambition for his education.

He was sent away to school and in time became Br student of the university which was the seat of the new Humanism, In which it is interesting to know Luther took little interest His interest was In scholastic philosophy. He came across a copy of the Latin Bible, the text of which was not then a matter of common knowledge. He became especially interested in the teachings of St, Paul. Between St Paul and, St. Augustine and Luther there were many points of resemblance In respect to their consciousness of sin, their over- tranairje, Luther's attitude toward the'problems of life at this time were not healthful cheerful ndr-altogether sane.

At 22 he too- a masters degree at-the- university and In consequence of soma per sonal experiences entered an Augustine monastery in spite oi parental oppo sition. For three years he devoted him self- earaestiyj-tq theI-monaJstio-ldeafltf service and numoie wow. rne wst significance of the word service is help fulness. The secondary meaning as when we speak of divine service is that of -a form of-worship sccc-' ble to the Divine Being, In monastic life- service as a form of worship had been ex panded into a multiplicity of outward observances, in his two years of mon astic life Luther was not in sympathy with these rigid forms and his mind dwelt upon the personal side of religion his spirit reacting against the evil within himself. At the end of two years he was called by the Elector of Saxony to take a professor's chair at Wittenberg.

The university there was partly with funds which had been received from the sale of indul gences issued for another purpose. unity for full noaltive -work and hla instruction, full of vigor and earnestness was crowned Latith-fiUcceas. At the age of 28 Luther was sent by his superior to Rome. Long before be reached Rome he became displeased with the abuses he saw at the monasteries visited. In Rome his hopes were disappointed and he was offended and pained by the absence of sincerity.

He failed to appreciate the commanding abilities cf the pope, Julius XL, and felt that he failed being the real shep-berd of tbe Christian worldr It is said that with characteristic abruptness be stopped half way in an act of devotion wnen the words came into ais rnma, The ju9t-hallHve by faiths He had no conception of salvation by works. Protestantism -was unfortunate tn its beginnings In losing sight of the sig nificance of moral behavior. That toe human spirit had something to do with lta own life an idea that Luther rejected. After four weeks In Rome Luther returned to Wittenberg a changed He kept on teaching, paying special attention: to the exposition of the writ ings of St. Paul, on tne evening of Oct 31, 1517, he posted on the doors of the Wittenberg university his famous 95 theses.

This was not an unusual Incident and no doubt Luther expected nothing more from his act than to have his theses discussed among theologians, but the points raised, especially In the protest against the sale of Indulgences, so harmonized with the sentiment of the people of Germany, mm the awakened national spirit, that Luther became tne champion of a cause. The German objection to paying for indulgences was for political as well as moral reasons. The national taint was opposed to paying, tribute Italy. Luther In himself expressed the moral reaction against the practice winch tftfe i of BHSeWTWIPUg' men was a dangerous power, making Its appeal to the deepest emotions of the heart Luther did not mean to be driven over to the Hussites he had previously denounced as heretics, but the force of the movement started by himself drove him alone; the same path He was summoned to Borne, hut refused to go. In 1620 the papal bull was Is hl followers, which mar seem to some an unnecessary show of ostentation.

TtTien he was called to Augsburg before the diet at worms and refused to re cant. He was held in friendly captivity for a year at Wartburg. during which he translated the New and Old Testament, which translation has been the moulding force of the German language.
