Treasures of the Roman Church.

When Pope Innocent III (in the year 1215) once showed the renowned theologian Thomas of Aquino the gold and silver heaped up with him, with the words: "Behold, now the Church cannot say as formerly: "Silver and gold have I none"," Thomas replied: "It is true, but neither can she say to the lame: "Rise up and walk"." Acts 3, 6.

Veneration of the Holy Virgin Mary.

Of this the church father Epiphanius writes; "They do equal harm to religion who hold the blessed Virgin in low esteem, and those who exalt the honor of the same beyond measure. (Lib. 4. de virgin. c. 4.)

Let no one think that it is a jest, child's play and a poor thing, when he confesses himself to God's Word and to faith in Christ, for he will surely experience and feel that he will have kings and princes for adversaries and enemies. Whoever, then, will not join in the battle line, but would become a deserter, let him go idle of this kingdom. Luther on Ps. 2, 3.

It is a short rule: If thou wilt please no one, then let no one please thee; if thou wilt please everyone, then let everyone please thee; yet only so far that thou leave not God's Word for it; for there all pleasing and displeasing ceases. But what may be yielded without yielding of God's Word, that yield, that thou mayest be pleasing to everyone. M. Luther.
