28. At the invitation of Holy Roman
Emperor Sigismund, who granted him a
safe-conduct, Huss presented himself in
1414 at the Council of Constance to
justify his views. The council refused to
recognize his safe-conduct, and Huss
was imprisoned and tried as a heretic.
Huss denied some of the beliefs
attributed to him; others he refused to
modify unless convinced of their error.
The council condemned his writings and
sentenced him to be burned at the stake,
where he died heroically. By his death he
became a national hero. He was declared
a martyr by the Univ. of Prague, and the
modern Czech Protestant church claims
to continue his tradition.

33. Civilization is on the northward march, for the Eskimo and Indian there is no
