CALVIN AND SERVETUS.

We notice in recent issue of the
Dispatch, of this city, brief article
headed Embellishments" published by
request ofone of our prominent citizens.
If the design of the article had been
simply to propose the erection Of a
monument to Servetus by those who
sympathise with his peculiar religious
views, there would have been no &C.
casion to reply or to object, Perhaps
this was the only purpose of the cor
respondent of the Dispatch in request
ing it's publication. But the author of
the article goes out of his way to cast
reproach upon one of the most illus
trious names in the history of the
Church, and seems more eager to ex.
cite prejudice against Calvin and
Calvinism than to bestow honor on
Servetus. He says, "Servetus was
burned to death at the lnstigation Of
John Calvin, October %, 1853, under
circumstances of peculiar atrocity."
He also says that during the three
centuries since Servetus' death out
ragged feeling has concentred upon him
as the martyred exponent Of an antag-
onism to some of the old Calvinistic
dogmas and this consensus singles him
out az the one for whom this senti-
ment should take concrete form"
The history Of the arrest trial, and
death of Servetus at Geneva has been
the theme of discussion for more than
300 years, and it would be impossible
to present il in the space of a news
paper article But it may be safely
affirmed that the consensus of this his
tory shows that Servetus was not
burned to death at the instigaton Of
John Calvin 1t is true that Calvin
prosecuted him before the Council Of
Geneva, and perhaps did more than
any other one man to procure the sem
tence Of condemnation against him as
a hereto But when the sentence was
pronounced Calvin strove'to mitigate
the severity the "atrocity of it, and
opposed the execution at the stake.
He wished to have the sentence of
death carried out in the mildest form.
In common with almost all others of
his day, he believed that heretics whose
teachings were aimed at tho funda-
mentals Of Christianity should be ad.
Judged as criminally worthy Of death.
What may be charged against him may
with equal justice DO charged against
manyot hiscontemporaries both Catho.
lie and Protestant. On account of the
connection between Church and State,
men who taught heresy in religion
were placed in the same category as
those who plotted rebellion or treason
against tho government. Men who
propagated religious doctrines iunda.
mentally different from those which
prevailed in tho State, did it at the risk
Of their lives Farel, who approved

The Spectator, Of London, speaking
of Christian missions, has the following
just remarks:
The practice ofcounting converts by the head
az if they were cattle, is in its very nature alb
surd as absurd a. it would be for a farmer to
complain in May that the cultivation of land
produced nothing but expense. Missionary
work is sowing not respIng, aud sowing Of a
plant Glow to bear. What matter If
the sowing take centuries, or if converts are
numbered on the fingers Of the hand One St.
Augustine would be ample repayment for all
the labor yet expended and st Augustine may
appear say in China or Bengal to .morrow.
When one talks Of Encouragement OF mission
airy funds, expenses of collection and the like
we can listen quietly, as to any other business
argument but when he talks about results
as estimated per capita, we must tell him that
he is arrogating to himself knowledge which
only God can possess. The plain truth
about modern missionary work we believe to be
this it has become profession, a most noble
and very successful profession and, like every
other profession has drawn to itself men of all
kinds, Of whom large maj ority are qualified
by inner disposition for its duties at an ex-
peuse Of about a million year, the Protestant
churches send out 10 most parts Of the heather,
and some parts Of the Mussulman, world a
perpetually renewed force Of men and women
to teach, to those Who know them not Christi
snity and civilization. Those men and women
are all sorts some unfit, one or two ia a thou
sand hopeessly utft-bsd persons. in sbort-a
few 6t to a degree no words Of ours will ade
quately describe, but a majority well qualified
in extremely varied ways for the burdensome
duty they have.

OUR correspondent, RI R. II, has
given good summary of the arguments
against the Pauline authorship of the
Epistle to the Hebrews. Nothing that
can be said in favor of Apollos as the au.
thor, or of Barnabas, or Luke, or any
other whose name appears in this connec-
ton, has been found to be satisfactory.
The reader will find in Professor Moses
Stuart's Introduction to the Epistle a
very able presentation of the reasons
which has led the Church to conclude
that Paul was the author. A summary
of the same is found in Albert Barnes
Introduction to his Commentary on the
Epistle.
The most recent discussions OF the quee.
ton will be found in the Introductions to
this Epistle in the Bible Commentary
and in the Popular Commentary (Schaf)
and in McClintock and Strong's Cyclic
p@dia.
A newspaper is hardly the place for
such discussions. We regard the Epistle
as one of the best attested in the canon.
