TR The breaking away of the Protes- tant denominations from the mother church of Rome—the division of western Christianity into factions which were so bitterly opposed that for hundreds of years they fought cach other on purely religious grounds—kas found its aftermath and memorials on the postage stamps of several mations. This conflict began as one of ideas and ideals and ended as a battle of armies, and both phases produced heroes who have been chosen for the subjects of postal paper. One of the first of the “reformers” or “protestants” was John Huss, & native of Bohemia (now Cazecho~ Slovakia.) Huss, who lived from 1372-2415, supported the beliefs of the English reformer Wycliffe and was excommunicated for his here- sies. Finally brought to trial as & heretic, he declined to recant and was burned at the stake, His fol- lowers were persecuted and many of them met fates like that of Huss | himsel?, but spirit of reform kindled by them lived on to form one ele- ment in the later revolt and has per- sisted 8o that Huss is still a hero te- day in his native land. Two of the | early stamps of the republic of Czecho-8lovakia depicts a Hussite | with a chalice in his hands. Due to fear of religious disturbance, how- ever, the stamps were withdrawn from circulation after a short while, After Huss and overshadowing him came Martin Luther, a German priest (1483-1546). Luther was & noted student and lecturcr on the Bible, and he took issue against the grossly abused sale of indulgences In | Germany, nailing his famed “96 | theges” against this on a door in Wittenberg. The effect was magical, | as the church demanded retraction | and summoned him to a council, but Luther steadfastly refused to recant. | Flung Ink At the Devil Tearing for his safety ut not Qdaring to assist him openly, one of | Luther's influential frinds had him | kidnapped and carried to the castle | "Old Bible Printed In Hebrew and Latm His Private Collection of Rare Editions| of Wartburg, where he was hidden safely away for several months. In| thig castle, which is shown on & German § mark stamp issued sev- eral years ago, Luther translated the | New, Testament into German, Guides | conducting tourists through the | castle still point to a stain on mej wall of his old room and say it was | made when Luther threw his ink- | well at the Devil when the latter | appeared before him, Luther's teachings spread like wildfire through northern Germany and a terrible Peasants’ war was the first result. Nobles took up the cause of Protestantism and, long after Luther had married a former nun, raised a family. and died, the cause went on and achieved suc- cesn. A Protestant Soldier Half a century after Luther's death there broke out the terrible Thirty Years’ war, from which cen- tral Europe did not recover for cen- | turfes. It began in Bohemia in 1618 | when Protestant peasants throw two | Catholic officials out of a window, and the first phase closed with Catholic supremacy reestablished there. But Denmark took up the Protestant cause and finally, in 1630, King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden came champing down through Ger- many with 16,000 men to meet the great Catholic leaders, Tilly and Wallenstein. Finally the two forces came to grips on the ficld of Lutzen in 1932 and Protestantism tri- umphed, but in ‘the smoke and mist | Gustavus Adolphus was shot down | and killed, possibly, like our own | “Btonewall” Jackson, through & mis- take of his own men. The war dragged on till 1648, but the Peace of Westphalia settled things in that | year by the granting of concessions to the Protestants, 8weden has hon- ored her great king.
