Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tributes to the Memory of Martin Luther Luther and the Bible, etc; The tributes in this part are arranged, as near as possible, in chronological order of their authors. Part II. Contains a few of the many editorials with which periodicals were teeming these past memorial months. We have confined ourself almost exclusively to religious papers in our selection, appending but a few from the secular press. It will be seen that non Lutheran organs have even surpassed in glowing tribute those Of the Lutheran Church. This accounts for so slim a representation of the best Lutheran Jour nals Of our land. Part III. IS a fair showing of what prominent Amer ican divines and other eminent men have said in various parts Of our land. With but a single exception (that Of Rev. C. H. Spurgeon), these last two parts are' entirely composed of American tributes. The foreign press dispatch showed what laurel-wreaths could be constructed from the flowers that bloomed this year in Germany, which in the product Of Luther honor was closely followed by all other civilized and Protestant nations. Germany, however, took the lead, Where Luther's battle had been fought, and where his glorious Battle-hymn this year made the rafters roar from Hamburg to Bohemia. We regret that we were obliged to abbreviate some of the beautiful encomiums sent in, and to omit others altogether, since not bearing exactly on the point for which we had solicited. We regret also having been compelled to break these tributes away from theirconnection, in which they fitted like jewels in settings Of gold.' But we have, in most instances, indicated the source from which they were taken; there the reader can find these gems in all their casements Of connected thought.
