Before Martin Luther's time, Rome stood as. a solid, unbroken sheet of ice; the good ship, Free Speech, could not navigate, and progress was impossible. Savonarola, Erasmus, Wyclif, Huss, Tyn dale, Ridley and Latimer had tried to open the channel, and all had. paid the penalty. Between the various denominations and sects there is small choice, but all are useful or they would not exist. They minister to the people who need intellectual crutches, and the number of them competing with each other, grinding on each other, heaving, sinking, seething and struggling, keep the ice broken up so Washington can cross the Delaware.
