Plans for Luther Anniversary Celebration

ON Oct. 31, 1917, it will be four hundred years since the parish priest in the Roman Catholic Church at Wittenberg nailed his ninety theses to the door of his church, from which event the beginning of the Reformation movement is commonly traced. The Luther Society of New York is taking the lead in a plan to celebrate this anniversary in a manner which will put Luther forward as the pioneer not merely of a religious movement, but of a new era in higher education, in morals, in civic and social life. One proposition is to erect in Washington a memorial Luther arch, commemorating him as a great epoch maker in Christian education, in the application of Christian morality, and in the promotion of the influence of the Bible.
