Cabin s tooth Anniversary
 Among We PYeSbyteY1ans
BY JOHN w. sTAee, D. D.

fused one. Once she banished him from her territory, but soon humbled herself and sent a deputation asking him to come back. She trusted him but disliked him, and self-interest alone forced her to ep< dure and tolerate him. She was proud of him before the outside world, but she never loved him. and today this lower ele ment in her makeup has it's revenge. To Calvin, the religious reformer the man who cared for the Kingdom of Christ, and whose heart went out to all who bore his name, no material monument Is to be found in Geneva So enduring indeed IS her recoiI from himself and everything that can be called Calvinism, there is only a little side street that bears his name. The initials, J. C., on the insignificant rock that is supposed to mark his grave Is looked on by those who know as d European device for collecting shekels from the curious traveller. There Is, how ever, feeling among the reverent and the studlous that a reformation monument will be built at Geneva when the cen
 tral figure will be the finely cut spirtuelle features of the great reformer standing in marble relief, as he does in reality, above all the mighty men who struggled for liberties of the world, religious and civil, at the time when the great protest was made.
 Calvns writings, at the time of hls
 death, filled about 20 huge quarto volumes A recent edition in the city of Berlin,
 which includes all that has come from the pen of Calvin, makes an edition of 72 octavo volumes. His institutes have been regarded as the greatest piece of theological writings that ever came from the pen of man, and this stupendous piece of work was accomplished before he was 27 years old. He died when he was 55 years of age, a worn out man, bearing in
 his face and in his limbs the signs that he had borne the burdens of the world.
 The reformed churches now are preparing | fttingly to honor him. It Is pathetic that men of such proportions, and who 50 pro- 1 foundly influenced the life of their own | time, are never understood save by those who view them from great distance, and who feel the need in their perplexity for l the spirit of those who nerved their fore- fathers for heroic deeds.
 This ouadricentennial of his birth is a fitting opportunity for testimony. In many lands arrangements have been made
 where addresses will be made calling at tention to the man and his work If one Frenchman may be known as the organ 1 izer of victory, another can be more justly | called the organizer of the reformed | church.
 Doubtless there will come/ -om the
 press, not only in America, but in Great | Britain, France and Germany, lit-
 erature that will give a new ap-
 preoiation of the great reformer,
 and make the name of John Cal | win to be revered by every lover of i liberty throughout the world. For wher-
 ever the fabric of civilization is being put
 in the loom of life today, the hope that
 is for the generations unborn is the hope | that has come through the courage of men
 like Calvin, who feared neither kings nor
 popes, nor earthly potentates, but God l alone.

The two assemblies of the Presbyterian church of this country, the one in ses- sion at Denver, Col, and the other at Savannah, Ga, in the various discussions which will be heard before these co., clasiastical bodies on the man John Calvin will give a better understanding and appreciation of his work than has been since the time that Calvin walked in the flesh in the streets of Geneva For the John Calvin of whom the present day man in the street. has heard, was "a man who lived long time ago, and was in some way connected with religion. and who wrote books showing that though God created all men, He intended that some should be lost while others should be saved; that he persecuted person called Servetus and at last succeeded in getting him burnt to death, and who believed that all infants are lost"
 It matters not, when the twentieth century find men holding these views that arguments are made to prove our intelligence in appreciation of men over our forebears; for, since the very care- ful work of Professor Doumergue in blow ing up every inch of ground on which Calvin ever walked, and riddling every shovelful of earth in the hope of finding something that might be derogatory to or commenting of the great reformer, has placed upon the intelligent men of this century the necessity of recasting opin- ions about Calvin and confessing an ignor- ance as to the real bearing of his in- fuence upon the life of the world.
 John Calvin was the greatest gift be- | is-tO CfJ,.. New Testament time. His influence was felt by men in every land. The Pope felt in him an opponent that could not be af fected by either fear or favor and kings and rulers found their autocracy chal- lenged by one whose bodily weakness | amounted to a life-torture. Communities in the struggle of the reformation, con | fessors throughout Southern Europe and the British isles, sought his counsel and 1 sympathy. During much of the 20 years of public life which he spent in Geneva he was at times almost an uncrowned king, and at others had to fight for his very life His income was so scanty that he was forced to supplement 1t by talk , ing boarders in his home, and when he died he was possessed of but 40 crowns of gold, considerably less than $500 in our money; but now the merest scrap of his penmanship cannot be purchased for considerably more than many times that amount.
 l Yet this man still has his enemies. Geneva, which was the city of his adop- ton, and which owed him so much, did not adopt him among her citizens until near the close of his life, when she con ferred upon him the little civic honor of | citizenship an honor which had been con- ferred previously on John Knox and sev- eral members of the English congregation 1 at Geneva. From the days of Caesar Geneva had been an important city, yet. if it were great, Calvin was greater The distinctive glory of Geneva is not that she was the home of Rousseau, to whom
 she has given statue. but that she was the home of Calvin to whom she has re-

HU MAN ROULETTE
 PROVES POPULAR
YOUNG AND OLD ENJOY THE THRILLS CAUSED BY NEW EAST LAKE AMUsEMENT-oTHER AT FRACTIONS BUSY.

The human roulette wheel at East Lake is now the talk of the town and the most popular amusement in the city. The same intoxication which leads man to stand and play the wheel by the hour in the gambling g house seems to grasp every person who rides the slippery circle.
 Everybody will try anything once, but they stay to get their money s worth after the first trial. They sit down on the wheel and as it begins to revolve, hold tight for dear life, but suddenly they begin slipping, and are whirled up the bank.
 The peculiar thing about 1t is that young and old are alike infatuated The ladies get into the spirit of the thing and are seen repeatedly rolling the wheel. As one boy expressed it, q felt like I was dreaming"
 The ones who sit closest to the mid dle usually stay on the longest, but when they do start they get royal slide, and no one Is ever hurt. Some times fellow manages to hold on and the crowd applauds him loudly. The spirit of fun fills the pavilion.
 On Sundays the building is crowded from early afternoon until late at night It is taxed to accommodate tn 6 crowd, many of them seeking the pleasure of looking on, but they usual ly take the chance when they see the wheel spin.
 The work at the lake on the over head scenic railroad is progressing rapidly, and within short time this unique entertainment will be added. The attractiveness of the chute the chutes has, become much greater since cataract of rushing water has been turned down the sluice, making a very beautiful appearance at night.
 The people of Birmingham have be- come educated to these thrilling min utes of pleasure until they have for gotten their fear of danger. Everybne rides the roller coaster and the more nerve the new excitement requires the more eager they are for it.
 Each year the hunger for more ex- citement causes the management to add the newest features and they always take with rush. Al Campbell is managing the lake for MT. Burnett and his associates, and is handling the large crowds in great shape.
