The Cover . . . The statue of Martin Luther, the great leader of the Protestant Reformation, stands in Wash ington, D.C. The courage and conviction of this great man are qualities to be sought for days like these. Threatened with assassination, he expressed his determination to present his case at Worms “though every tile on every rooftop be a demon.’’ Expressing his confidence in the Word of God as the sole religious authority, he said, “Here I stand, I can do no other. So help me, God.”
