EEE EE WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1917 |S ET S| LUTHERAN CHURCHES TO CELEBRATE HERE Elaborate Celebration Will Be Held at Northwestern University Gym- nasium on September 16th. TO OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY October Marks the 400th Anniversary of the Reformation. By Rev. W. F. Suhr. Regarding the celebration of the 400th Anniversary of the Reforma- tion, for which the Lutheran churches of the north shore are making prepa- rations, the thought has arisen in the minds of some that it is not quite proper that we, as American citizens, give honor unto one who was a Ger- man, Martin Luther. On this subject a few words may not be amiss in the public press. To us who recognize in Luther the leader whom God sent into the world to point the world back to Christ and to Christ's word, it is of no conse- quence to what nation Luther be- longed; his nationality is a mere ac- cident. Protestants everywhere ad- mire Gustavus Adolphus and Admiral Coligny. That Gustavus Adolphus was a Swede and Admiral Coligny a Frenchman has nothing at all to do with the veneration in which they are held by all Protestants. We must not forget that there are millions of Germans who abhor Luther as a heretic; that the majority of German emperors have persecuted Lutherans; that many German writers have defamed Luther, and that it was a German reichstag which denounced Luther as a heretic and an outlaw. We, as American citizens, give hon- or unto Luther at this jubilee for his heroic stand for liberty, religious as wel las political, believing as John H. Treadwell says in his biography of Luther: "That the principles of Martin Luther are the fundamental principles of our American Republic there can be no question;" or as Francois Marie Mignet expressed it: "Summoned for four years to submit, Luther said, 'No. He said to the legate, 'No.' He said to the pope, "No. He said to the emperor, 'No. That heroic and pregnant No! bore within it the liberties of the world." Attorney General Wm. H. H. Miller said at a Fourth of July address: "We cannot claim for our Anglo-Saxon ancestors any special pre-eminence as champions in the great tournament of freedom. Romance with all the grand figures of its 'Lancelots, its Arthurs, and its Ivanhoes, furnishes no picture of such heroic courage, moral and physical, as Martin Luther, nailing his theses, his declaration of the right of private judgment, to the door of the church in Wittenberg, or standing in the hostile presence of the emperor of Germany and his magnificent array of kings, princes and barons, in the Diet of Worms, and to the demand that he recant, announcing, 'I cannot and I will not recant a single word. If it be said that the contest of Luther was for religious rather than civil liberty, the ready answer is that civil and re- ligious liberty are inseparable, that one cannot live where the other dies." Since Luther uttered those mem- orable words at the Diet of Worms: "Here I stand; I' cannot do other- wise. God help me! Amen," they have ever been on the lips of good, great men. Whoever has fought for human liberty, a Washington or a Lincoln, have said in their hearts as they resolved on their path of duty, "God be my help. Here I take my stand." Attention is called to an article appearing in the Ladies' Home Journal for June, in which Chris- topher Morley describes the anguish of heart of President Wilson as he wrote the declaration of war against Germany. The writer says: "From some old student day a phrase flashed into his mind--the words of Martin Luther, the Thuringian peasan and university professor, who four hun- dred years before had nailed his theses on the church door at Witten- berg: "Gott anders." They chimed a solemn refrain in his heart as he inserted a fresh sheet of paper behind the roller (of his typewriter) and resumed his writing helfe mir, ich kann nicht "With a profound sense of the solemn and even tragical character of the step I am taking and of the great responsibilities which it in- volves . . I advise the Congress that it declare the recent course of FRANCIS KING COOKE HAS OPENED BOYS' SCHOOL North Shore People Will Have Ad- vantage of New Winnetka School. Several times during recent years there has been considerable discus- sion respecting the establishment of a boys' school on the north shore at some convenient point between Evanston and Lake Forest. The de- mand for such a school to prepare boys for college, as well as for younger boys, is strongly favored at this time. Quite recently the sub- ject was revised by a group of par- ents and, after serious consideration, the movement thus initiated has re- sulted in the formation of a school under the following provisions: A--FEliot Elementary Schools. A school for boys and girls of grammar school ages, conducted under the same lines as the Girton lower school, of which it will be the successor. This school will be housed in the present building, and the existing or- ganization maintained, excepting that there will be men as well as women teachers. B--Eliot School. A school for boys of high school age, providing at the start a two years' course, and ulti- mately a three or four years' course as development may warrant. This school will be housed in a separate building now available for the pur- pose, and will be supervised by men teachers. Frances King Cooke of Winnetka will have charge of the school, and information in regards to the regis- tration of the boys may be obtained at her offices in Girton school. | =0. 0-0-0 WILMETTE WOMAN HURT WHEN MACHINES CRASH Thomas Dyer, 219 Doyle court, drove through Evanston Labor Day on his motorcycle with sidecar at- tachment, accompanied by his wife and 12-year-old daughter, Sallie. At West Railroad avenue and lincoln street he caught the side car on the rear end of a machine driven by J. M. Hart, 2602 Lincoln street, east in Lin- coln street. Mrs. Mary Dyer, the wife, and the daughter were thrown violently from the motorcycle when the side car at- tachment was torn from the machine. Both were scratched and bruised about the face and head. The motor- cycle was almost completely wrecked. Mother and child were attended by Dr. Ernest J. Ford and were able to go home unassisted shortly after the collision. mE EE MEMBERS OF WILMETTE GUARD WANT MACHINES Wilmette company of the Eleventh infantry I. N. G. may be able to meet all possible demands upon it with the greatest promptness, officers have asked patriotic citizens to put their automobiles at the disposal of the company whenever they may be called for. Such a call might not be made for a long time but if the com- pany should be called out on emerg- ency duty the needs of the situation could best be met by an immediate response. Quick transportation be- ing necessary, the tender of a suffi- cient number of machines with driv- ers to rush the company to any point from which a call for aid might come has been asked by the captain on be- half of the company and on behalf of the city which it is serving. EERE Sales Congress. What is announced as a "retail sales congress," planned under the personal supervision of John N. Willys, will open on Tuesday at the Willys-Overland plant in Toledo, the delegates being the 300 Overland salesmen who proved most success- ful in a selling contest which closed August 22. There 'will be an inspec- tion of factory facilities at Toledo and a dinner at the Toledo club, with the presentation of cups and other trophies, after which the conferees will take possession of the steamer South American and embark for Chi- cago, holding a series of meetings en route. the Imperial German Government to be in fact nothing less than war against the Government and people of the United States. "It is for humanity," he whispered to himself. "Ich kann nicht anders." He leaned back in his chair, stiff and weary. His head ached hotly. With elbows on the desk he covered his forehead and eyes with his hands. All the agony, the bitterness, the burden of preceding days swept over him, but behind it was a cool and cleansing current of peace. "Ich kann nicht anders," he whispered. The, turning swiftly to the machine, he typed rapidly: "God helping her, she can do no other." AIR STARTERS ORDERED FOR U. S. WAR MACHINE American War Planes Are to Be Started By Compressed Air.
