DID CAuv1N BURN sERvETUs7

Tho .Rav. Dr.. Brown, Of st. Paul, has UNDER
taken task that might appal Congressional

Paul Press he say8:
1o will IN mauy caaas etlck, TIL the Judgment. So
1t H. perhaps ridiculous beforo tho Judgment to deny
that Calvin did not burn Bsrveus. It boon denod
thousand ines, but tho ]tc still sticks. Ths facts
however, are, that Bervetus who held and uttered
blasphemoua hereBios tha by the laws Of al Uhristian
countries in his day wero punished with death, had
been condemned for them to death in Catholic AuBtria
ana escaped and tied to Geneva There they tried to
silence him, but ho would not bo ailonccd, and WAS
brought before tho Council, triod, and condomned.
After he waa condemned. Calvin tried to savs his
ltt, hut the Council refused, aud tho other 8wiaa
States proestcd aud demanded his death, md le
burnt at the stake. That ho burnt is simply to
say that TINT tho sixocnth century, not the nine
tecnth but to charge Calvin With his death, in the
language Of Liput. Is to aay that tho thing Ia not
so." i.
The Press has put it's theological editor
through an oxtondod course Of reading. He
piles an astounding array Of pondorons tones
upon the defender Of Calvin. MoHheim and
Fisher arc too much for Brown. Moshoim aavs
servotus was tried for herosy at Vienno, in the
South Of france, and that ho eHcaped before
sontence Was passed upon him and fed to
Geneva, whore he lay concealed for four weeks.
1Io was stopping iuto a boat to leave tho city,
when Calvin saw him and lad him arrested.
Calvin and hia secretary drow up the charges.
The two appeared in court to prosecute them.
sorvetus pleaded for o change Of yenuo in
order to get out OF hia onemy's powor, but
in vain. His answors to Calyln'a charges wero
aubmltted to tho Swiss States. Tho statos con-
demnod him. Theroupon tho Court at Geneva
sentenced him to bo burned alIyo on tho very
next day. The English translator Of Moshelm
gays that Calvin aud other mtnistora "lntcrcede1

Old Testament days, whom the Lorl's.eect smote

Ono Of tlo best papers read at the recent aes-
sion Of tho American Social Soianuo Association
was by tho Rov. DR.. Woolsoy, ex-Presidont Of
Yale. on Exemption Of Private Property upon
tho Sea from Capturo." Tt contained m inter-
osting sketch Of the gradual refining Influence
civilization las exercised upon war. Originally
when two nations were fighting, oaoh individual
in tho one was. the enemy Of each in tho other.
It was beloved that everything was fair in war.
Theso barbarous ideas gradually disappeared

An army might pass through an enemy's coun-
try without plundoring or destroying, but tho
1oot TINT coaatod tho hostile shore would
soizo on the soa w1ot tho soldory had spared on
tho 1and. Tho difference Was without reason.
In recent years. It has been proposed that froo
ahips should mako FREQ goods. In other
words, TINT neutral vossola should ba
allowed to carry tho cnemy's goods without
danger OF seizure The Paris Conference of
1866, ut tho close Of tho Crimoan War, agreed
that free ships should mako frao goods and TINT
naent was submitted to tho nations not present
at the Conference for ratification, 1t received
tho assent Of all Ohrietendom, aavo Spain, Mex-
leo, and tho United States. We arc not in tho
beat OF company. At tho timo this was pro-
posed, William L. Marcy was Secretary Of State.
He declared In reply to tile circular Of the
Allied Powers, that tho United States, while they
rejected tho Paris agreement, would join with tho
parties to 1t in guaranteeing tho exemption Of nj
private property from seizure during war. The
proposal was rejected. Maroys action was duo to
the belief that ii private property was to bo law
tu prize, we nodded to use prlvateers. This seems
doubtful We did not use them during the
struggle with tho South. In 1866, on the out
break OF hosti1ities between PrusBia and Austria,
tho latter proclaimed on May 13 its inten-'
ton not to soizo private property on

tho OFFER: In July of tho aamo your, Italy In

1868, the North. German Parliament unanimously
passed. law authorizing tho Government to os~
tablsh this principle Of the exemption Of private
property from capture by treaties with all other
nations. In 1870, both Franco mud Germany
