He cpnsidered Luther one of the four greatest Qermaus, the others beiug Charletnagne, Barbarossa, and Bisinarck. His personality is everywhere ' reverenced in Germauy by socialists, rationalists, skepfios, agnóstica, infidel, as well as orthodox Lratberans. He il one of the great flgnros of history. Hii snooess was owing in great ineasnre to the f act that he had the support of political leaders who were ready to revolt against the eoclesiasticism of the day. He was the courageous mouth-piece of the ideas and feelings of the mass of the people of North Germany at the time he appeared.
