Lutheran Calendar.

September 22. 1853.

Popish Superstition about Ordination. The Jesuit Franciscus Toletus writes in his instruction for priests: "If ordination were conferred even before the use of reason (upon a child), it would nevertheless remain a true ordination, and the character (the indelible secret mark) would be impressed. Also that the presbyterate may be conferred upon children who do not yet have the use of reason is the common teaching of the theologians and canonists." (De institutione sacerdotum lib. 1, c. 55.) To such absurdities it leads when a sacramental character is attributed to ordination and this is logically pursued!

Great and Small Sins. I will say something strange: One need not guard against the great sins with such great diligence as against the small, for those frighten us away by their very hideousness, but these, because they are slight and small in our eyes, make us careless, and because they are despised, one takes no great pains to be rid of them.
Chrysostom.

Atheism (Denial of God). "The reason why men deny the Godhead is that they may not have to fear it," says the heathen Plutarch.

Humility.

The first thing that is commanded is humility; the second—humility; the third—humility; and as often as you might ask me, I would say this. Not that the other commandments, as they are called, are not commandments, but for this reason: if humility has not gone before all the good we do, and accompanied it all, and followed it all, then, while we rejoice over a good work, pride wrests everything out of our hand. For while the other vices are to be feared in sins, pride on the contrary is to be feared even in good works, lest that which has been laudably accomplished be lost again through desire for praise.
Augustine.

The Pope, a Vicar of Christ. Verily, verily, writes Luther, the Pope is a vicar of Christ: for he has driven away and expelled Christ, and has set himself in His place.
