CHAPTER I
One of God's Tools
I want to be a giant for God.--BILLY SUNDAY.
Heaven often plays jokes on earth's worldly-wise. After the consensus
of experience and sagacity has settled upon a certain course and
type, lo, all the profundity of the sages is blown away as a speck of
dust and we have, say, a shockingly unconventional John the Baptist,
who does not follow the prescribed rules in dress, training, methods
or message. John the Baptist was God's laugh at the rabbis and the
Pharisees.
In an over-ecclesiastical age, when churchly authority had reached the
limit, a poor monk, child of a miner's hut, without influence or favor,
was called to break the power of the popes, and to make empires and
reshape history, flinging his shadow far down the centuries. Martin
Luther was God's laugh at ecclesiasticism.
