Luther and the Reforma tion lecture at First Reformed Church
Rev C Muller of West Sayville New York lectured at the First Reformed Church on Luther and the Reformation. He used slides to contrast Rome’s ancient cruelty with church corruption and traced Luther’s life from Erfurt to Wiltenburg. He warned of Rome’s modern political influence, urged support for public schools, praised Freemasons, and urged Protestant churches to evangelize immigrants. He emphasized patriotism, the Dutch influence, and the American flag while noting potential disagreement from some attendees. The talk was given for edification rather than offense and drew attentive listeners.
