PREsCRIPrIONs INLArIN.

EDITOR SrAR:-Iu answer to the opinion
expressed in your Tuesdays issue adverse to
beg leave to say that the reason for its ccntin-
ued use 10 tts expressiveness and Significance,
admitting seldom or never Of ambiguity. In
Europe IL Is held that Latin being spread ALI
over the world among the learned Glass. apy
document written In that language may be de.
eipnered In any corner OF the globe, aud the
prescription being the property of the patient.
purchased from the pb ysiciau, may be carried
with him wherever he moves, so that he can
nave hts medicines prepared by any we'll in
formed apothecary. For the same reason newly
discovered or invented medicines are desig.
mated by Latin names, to make them intelligi.
bic everywhere, and tn Us facilitate their spread
all over the world Many of the names OF old
and ne " remedies are not transferable into any
other lang usge except by eircumstantial def
milton. The use of the Latin in prescriptions
is extremely simple aud limited, seldom ex-
tending farther than the mere appellation and
the cumulative proportions, and therefore IL
does not 60 Tar enough to make any show or
display Of learned phrases. The use Of the
vernacular affords NO safeguard against mis-
takes, as proven by that fatal case in Phi!adel.
pima some years ago, when clerk construed
the name udck draHght into black drops. There
is no other safeguard against such fatal mis-
takes than a thorough education OF the dis pen
sing person. and a proper care on tue part OF
the physician, who should nj ways bear in IN nd
that the prescription is an i'm portant docEme1t &,
beaIiDg testimony regarding his education, aud
moving VIA. Their the choice of his remedies Is
N perfect accordance with the theory of the
disease; whether they present proper homo
geIeoUs substance, not conflicting or even
chemically decompOsing each other. TIE pre-
scTiptior files IN the various apothecary shops
give the sad proof tn the contrary, and often
how the most eulpable csrelessness.
Our correspondent, who i5 a physician OF
education and experience, makes the best show
ing possible for the use of Latin in the pre-
scribiug Of medicine. Viewing the subject in
lis International relations, his reasoning Is
sound and conclusive, but We think it does not
spply with equal force TO the domestic or
neighborhood practice OF medicine; but II 1t
old, we still think the security afforded by tne
use of English more than offsets the advan-
tages claimed for Latin. Our correspondent
only partly meets our article to which he re-
fers. In it we equally protested against the
use Of authorizations. On this point We doubt
not he agrees " it'll

No CoMPRoMIsE.-The IateIligencer says in

er1ul companies, the Pennsylvania Central and
the Northern Central, which are constructing
the Baltimore and Potomac road; and, there
fore, neither the Point of Rocks road nor

be built. Hearing this, Mr.. Arnold, agent
in this city OF the Pennsylvania roads, teis-
graphed North, AZ our request, to ascertain the
facts IN the matter The reply was there was
NO foundation for the report.
Our Information is, that both Mr.. Garrett and
the management of the Pennsylvania Central
roads are putting forth their best efforts To be
first in Washington with their trains next

The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1868-12-09
Did Calvin Burn Servetus?

1t has been thousand times asserted that
he did, and great reproach has been cast upon
his memory on that account. That he prose
cuted Servetus for heresy before the magis-
trates of Geneva, cannot be denied. But IN
doing so he acted conscientiously under SOL
elm sense of duty. He had warned Servetus
not to- come to Geneva, telling him, that If
he took up his residence in that city, he would
be compelled to prosecute him. Notwith-
standing this admonition of the danger to
which he would be exposed, Servetus went
to Geneva, and was there condemned by the
civil authorities of the place, to suffer the
punishment of death. Calvin exerted himself
after his condemnation, to have milder pun
ishment inflicted upon him. The magistrates
however, were of the opinion that he deserved
THE severest kind of punishment. The SEN
tence of the law was therefore executed, and
Servetus died miserable death.
Even if Calvin had been in favor of his be-
ing burnt at the stake, he would not have
merited all the censure that has been cast
upon his memory. % The doctrine of religious
federation had no advocates in his day, and if
he was in favor of severely Furnishing men, who
held and published sentiments, that were
grossly heretical and blasphemous, it should
rather be attributed to the age in which he
lived, than to any thing cruel or malignant
in his disposition.
A work, written by Calvin, has been trans
lated by Rev. Henry Cole, d. D., and recently
published. 1t is A treatise on the Secret
Providence of God" 1t was written in reply
to Pighius, and contains the following declara-
| ton.
"As to your assertion, that nay disciples are
made of my God like unto myself, cruel, en-
vious, proud, slanderers, carrying one thing
on their tongues and another in their heart,
| / will come forward and refute this, your i'm
pudent reviling-prepared to do so not SO
much by words as by facts For what partlc-
ular act of mine you accuse me OF cruelty,
am anxious to know. | myself know not that
act, unless it be with reference to the death OF
your great master, Servetus. But that l my
self earnestly entreated that he might not be
put to death, his judges themselves are wit
neSSes, in the number of whom, at that time
two were his Staunch favorers and defenders.
But | have said quite enough about myself.
1t would seem, if any thing could silence
those who delight in heaping abuse upon the
great Reformer, that this declaration of Cal
wins would have that effect; but it is to be
apprehended that they will continue to abuse
him as much as ever. They hope by doing
so, to make the doctrines of grace odious, be
cause the name Calvinism has so often beer
| arplied TO them.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1868-12-09

heard sermon on the text, Servants, obey
your masters" although as part OF God
Word it was legitimate subject OF discourse,
in its place.
Matthews, seeing that he had an audience
capable of swallowing the statements ne had al
ready made. went on to inform them that since
the war they had sent to the South ministers OF
broad, comprehensive views, capable OF
aiding the negroes in becoming =" a blessing to
themselves, their country, and their age, and
he added, Indeed We have already succeeded
in making that South land, which few years
ago was black with Ignorance and superstition,
resound with praise and prayer from every hill
top and plain, from Virginia to the Gulf of
Mexico !"
To those who know the character Of many
of these Northern missionaries to the colored
people in the South, and who feel in so many
ways the effects of the decentralization and de-
generation that prevails among the negroes as
class, this mendacious extravaganza Of Mat
thews is nothing; but to thelovers of righteous
ness and peace it as a matter of some moment
that MIR. Beecher should endorse 1t and 1t
must gill good men with sadness that man
with his influence should stand in the pulpit
on the Sabbath day, and say of Munchausen
like Matthews, You may believe every word
he says, for know he is all right.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1868-12-09

to say whether or not there is any culpable
neglect of this matter in the Presbyteries Of
this Synod; but, in order that the design OF
the Assembly may be carried out, We recon-
mend that the Presbyteries be required to re-
port at the next meeting of the Synod, whe-
Their they have complied with the injunction
of the Assembly, and whether proper super.
vision is exercised over the churches in the
matter Of employing stated and occasional
supplies
9. The Injunction upon the ministers to
preach to the people upon the importance OF
dedicatng their sons to the work OF the min
istry, appeals to us with peculiar force. The
Presbyterian church has been established IN
this State over thirty years, and so far as your
committee are aware no person born, or even
reared on the soil of Texas, has ever entered
her ministry. 1t is time that this was changed,
and that the church in this State was raising
up, among her own sons, the men to supply
the vast prospective wants OF this held. We,
therefore, urge this subject upon the careful
and prayerful attention of both ministers and
people.
An overture from the Presbytery of Central
Texas, asking for change Of boundary be-
tween that Presbytery and that OF Eastern
Texas, was laid over to the next meeting.
The Synod adjourned to meet in Houston,
at o clock p. NJ, on Wednesday, November
3, 1869. L. TENNEY,
Stated Clerk.
