JOHN CALVIN.

The celebration at Geneva Of the ter
was brought to close a few days ago
with a great historic pageant and adj
n dresses by prominent men, 1t was an
occasion In which many countries were
represented by eminent scholars.
Calvin lived in an age of 'inte!lectual
giants and he himself was one OF the
greatest. He had perhaps. more a1-
&vantases than any of the other Reform
ers. Not only was he endowed With
unusual gifts. but he had an eXcep-
tional training, as theologian, a jur-
list. and classicist. He was familiar
innate friend of the most distinguished
persons of his time Ills grasp of d
wide range of subjects. his amazing
capacity for work, his scholarly educa-
ton and his tenacity OF purpose made
him the leader of u great wing Of the
army of reformation. He has been de-
picted as a stern, sour theologian happy
in the contemplation of the fortunes
of the damned, but this is mistake
Calvin was loved and lovable Among
his Intimate friends he was affection
ate and kind, in spite of his peculiar
doctrines on predestination
There is no doubt that Calvints ideas
of church government have had a far.
reaching influence upon the progress
and development OF civil liberty.
Church and state, though entirely sep
arate and independent. necessarily ex-
ert influence upon one another, because

partly. the same ground. Modern re-
publieanism can be traced to Geneva
and CalVln's work, His theology may
be too narrow but the fruits of his la
bors remain in the civil liberty that
was nourished in his nursery.
At the time of Calvin the union az
church and state was taken for grant
ed. and there was a constant struggle
: between the two for supremacy Henry

imposed himself upon the church as a
