North Carolina's unenviable record of illegally manu factured liquor as set down by the United State government is brought into play by the State board of health in its campaign for a healthier but less intoxicating: citizenship. Whether the health authorities are disappointed 'that ths 1921 general assembly refused to enact more strin gent prohibition laws for the state is another question but 'the fact that "for twelve years North Carolina has been prohibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors" and des pite this "today North Carolina faces a liquor problem scarcely less ser ious than the one "which caused the r.:'.-pticn of prohibition laws years ago" is commented upon. "The -ecords of the United States government tend to prove tnat meie is now moie illegal manufacture of liquors in his state than in any oth.- "te Various' courts of the recoras oi tho virions courts ct the state are filled with cases, from simple drunks to foul murders which are- founded upon strong drink, either its making, sellintr or consumption. "Probably as long as there is sut ficient demand for liquors there -will be found those to supply such demand The evils that follow rthe filling oi the human body with alcohol have been pointed out time and time again and still there are many who will run almost any risk to obtain it. "Alcohol and good health do not go along together, Alcohol tears down, and makes ready the way for degen erative dseases It, like a traitor weakens: all defenses of 'the .body aeainst tuberculosis and otner infec tious diseases. Its use means an in creased death rate- From a public health viewpoint the state board of health is deeply concerned in the nresent condition."

Four dred years ago. on April 18, Martin Luther, the German and religious reformer faced hun 1521, monk the German diet at Worms (a German village) and, refusing to recant his principles of religious freedom, brought about a mighty intellectual and religious revolution. Throughout the "world, millions of Protestants will celebrate on Aprd J 8. the 4UUUi anniversary of-Luther s trial before that diet. For that rea son, the proceedings at Worms, u-e of timely interest to Protestants of the United States. The fact that Lut heir's stand brought abcut a tremendous change in che history of the would is emphasized by Professor J. H- C. Fritz, dean of Ccncordia Seminary, of St. Louis, in a narrative of Luther's actions and his trial. Dean Fritz writes: "The eighteenth day of Apiil in the ve?.r cf 1521 mairks the end of the Mile Ages and ,tne beguming of th iuoaern Jira in tne nisrorv ct cne world. On tht day the emancipation of man from a long period of spirit ual, intellectual, and political serf dom took dace, and ! hr-ie was given to the world that libeity of con science, that freedom cf thought, and thai: modern civilizction which we now enjoy and which, we trust, shall remain in cur inheritance until the end of days. "On the eighteenth day cf April. 1521, Luther was on trial before the Diet at Worms: the man and his woik were put to crucial test. Shall the Bible be sn open book for all or must man submit to that authority if the church as it has been exercised bv popes 'and councils; shall the right of private .judgment be orant ed or denied; shall the yoke laid up on the intellect by the medieval sys tem remain and become more bur densome, or shall the intellect be freed and enter upon, an era of new development; shall nations and peo ples be tyrannized bytreligious an3 civil rulers-: or shall : the right of civil and religious liberty be granted ? "These 'weie the great issues 'Wthieh Luther's answer to the question whether or not he would recant wh?t he had spoken and written, should decide. - L .. ,. . . .... . "All historians agree that Luther s firm stand at Worms in 1521 brought about a mighty revolution and a tremendous change in history of the world. "In 1520, the year prior to the diet at Worms. Luther had written ii epoch-making works: To the Chris tian Nobility cf the German Nation,' 'The Babylonian Captivity of the Church,' and 'On Christian Liberty,' In these writings Luther gave a clear outline cf his theology. "In the meantime Eck and Alex ander, the papl nuncios, brought tne bull of excommunication to Germany Luther burned it publicly on Decem ber 10. Leo X urged Charles V (Ger man Emperor) to put Luther under the ban of the empire. Charles was willing to comply, but the German princes insisted that Luther must not be condemned unheard. Accord ingly Luther was summoned to ap pear 'before the diet and answer for himself. Friends Uneasy "Luther's friends were uneasy; they feared for his very life, the- reminded him of the fate of Huss; they had litle confidence in the Em peror's safe-conduct. To ; say that Luther was undisturbed, would al most mean to deny that he was hu man but his fear was overcome by trust in Him whose battles he was convinced! that he was fighting. U will go,' he said, 'though there be as many devils in Worms as there are tiles' on the roofs of the houses 'The tr.ial had been set for April 17 At six o'clock in the evening ga ther was called before the oiet What was the poor monk to be tried for? W7hat had he done? He had written 95 theses against the abuse of indulgences; he had taught that in the church the Bible is the enly authority; he had insisted upon faith in Jesus Christ and a life ot good works; he had attackea the doctrines of the papacy- He was not -to be tried, he was simply . to be called upon to say one wora. ivevu that is. I recant. "On the following day. Luths-r ap peared again before the diet and gave his answer.. '"Wilt thou defend all the books acknowledged to be thine (Luther had acknowledged th? t ocks to be t.u on the day before) 'or at. least m part?' That was the question which -vS, put to Luther in German and Latin. , Reply Displeasing "Luther replied at some length. He said that ha- was willing to recant a QC vi. books into the fire, it he could be convinced by the Scrip tures that he had taugnt ei ui. v0n!v disnleased Eck. He asked Lu ther to say whether he would say 'Revoco' or not. Luther men reimeu in these words.

Amen.' " "Luther maintained his firm stand. He said, 'Rather will I lose life and limb than surrender God's true and clear word.' Translated Bible "On his homeward journey friends 'tcok him captive' and. for safety's sake, removed him to the Castle Wjarburg. It was there that Luther, in December 1521. began his transla tion of the Bible into that German which became the German in litera ture and speech and which is still spoken and 'writen today. "Luther was put under the ban of the empire and remained under the condemnation the rest of his life. He nevertheless lived on and continued his work until his peaceful death in February. 1546.
