Group is a terrible disease, it attacks
children so suddenly they are very apt to
choke unless given the proper remedy at
once. There is nothing better in the world
than DIR. Kings New Discovery. Lewis

about his children: Sometimes in severe
attacks we were afraid they would die, but
since we proved what a certain remedy

A fine Lecture SER
MON ON JOHN CALVIN
Rev. Arthur Metcalf Delivers Second
Address on the -Four
Johns

An unusually large audience a
the Congregational church Sunda!
evening listened to the second o.
Rev. Arthur Metcalf's addresses or
the -Four Johns" the subject of the
address being John Calvin.
The pastor began by assuring the
audience that John Calvin was dead;
that no individual who ever hello
sway over his fellowmen could be
deader than John Calvin. He alst
said that no angel Gabriel had thu
power to bring to life again the sys
tenn of theology which John Calvin
founded, since it was as dead OF
deader than it's founder.
Rev. Metcalf proceeded to modify
this criticism by explaining why
four years ago, on the four hund
redth anniversary Of John Calvins
death. papers and magazines wert
filled with euIogies of the man;
LlOuuHIeHI was eicStcu III hio hohoh
orators and scholars We'd with each
other in doing homage to his mem
DRY as one of the princes OF human
intellect.
while I despise in its entirety
the system of theology, for which
John Calvin stood" said the speak
er, II have nothing but honor ant
respect for the author of it"
He then called attention to some
of the events of the time in which
Calvin lived, and in graphic ant
interesting manner, told of thu
monk, who one day nailed nj!
theses to the church door in Written
berg. The vibration of the strokes
of that hammer were literally heart
around the world, and declared t
all that Martin Luther dare defy tn,
established order of things, and as
sert his right to be an origina
thinker.
Soon there was bonfire OF Luth
er's books and that was a good wa!
to advertise them. Burn an author'i
works and everybody Is sure to wan
to know more about the man ant
his teachings. Bulls were ISSUED
against him; but Martin Luther
caught those bulls in the pasture
brought them to the market place

driven from the pulpit, and both he
and Calvin were obliged to flee for
their lives
1t was an era of great events.
Columbus had found new world
Copernicus, so to speak, had given
us a new heaven; Kepler had dis
covered the laws which govern the
universe. In the theological world
it was left for John Calvin to found
system OF theology which, up to
that time, was the best the world
had known His great work, "1nsti-
tutes of the Christian Religion
written when he was but twenty
seven years old, is one of the finest
bits of religious philosophy extant.
It's value to the world OF theology
the gift of Kepler or of Copernicus
to the world of science.
An exile from home, Calvin visit
ed Geneva, Switzerland and there
accepted call to preach in that
city. He led the reform movement
there and eventually Geneva became
noted as holy city of Cod
Geneva became the city on hill,
where religion was being lived, as
Well as preached. To Geneva came
the leaders of the Reformation to
hear John Calvin and learn of him.
Here came John Knox and others
like him and here these learned ex-
lies together translated the Bible in
to the English language, and the re-
suit was what is still known as the
Geneva Bible.
The system of theology founded
by John Calvin declares the soyer-
eighty of God and the entire sinful
ness Of man, not only in himself but
in his ancestry. Election and Pre-
destination, the Devine DEGREES and
Reproduction are an essential part OF
the system. 1t was wonderful sys-
tenn for his day.
Calvin's Institutes" is a great
work We kaow of no single book
which took such vital hold upon
the thinkers of the age in which 1t
was written as did this. But we live
in new day and the system which
he founded is now obsolete because
the premises are false. Grant Calvin's
premises, and the whole system L.
logical and necessarily true, but
with false premises no system Of
theology can stand. The Westmin-
lister confession of faith and the
Augsburg confession, fine in their
day, are now obsolete and accepted
by no one.
The day is coming when some
man. big enough, wise enough. and
good enough, will create new sys-
TEN of theology, which will give to
the modern world a religion suited
to our day, as John Calvin's system
was suited to his age. For the world
does move, and heaven Is not mere
ly place in the future. but con-
dition OF mind and thought. state
of blessedness to be enjoyed hero
and now.
The address closed with the hope
that some Webster City young man
might school himself so that In HIS
mature years he might do for the
twentieth century what John Calvia
did for the sixteenth,

and had bonfire of his own, in ut
ter defiance even of the pope him
self!
The fight went on to the death.
The Reformation was started, and
although it meant the rack, the
thumb-screw and even the stake,
nothing could stop it's progress.
Rev. Metcalf referred to the finan-
eial disturbances in our country in
1896, to give the audience some
faint idea of the general unrest and
excitement in Luther's time. He
said, however, that the illustration
was not adequate, or even parallel,
as our stir soon passed away. but
the stirring up that started the
Reformation endured and will con-
tinue to the end Of time.
In an age like that John Calvin
lived His father belonged to the
old regime and was an ecclesiast,
himself, and young Calvin was given
church when only seven or eight
years of age. At the age of twelve,
he was hiring man to preach for
him in the church whose emolu-
ments were his, and which were US
ed by him in securing his education.
His father desired to make him a
great theologian and the best posi-
Bile training and education were Civ
en- him to that end.
Later, because he believed that
the perquisites would be greater, the
senior Calvin decided to fit his son
for the law, SO the best to be had in
legal training was his. In order that
nothing might be lacking, the best
that could be found in philosophical
education was secured for him, and
everywhere the record is that John
Calvin out-did all of his fellow stu
dents. In the occasional absence of
his professor he. was able to conduct
classes to the satisfaction OF the
members.
When the new Greek learning be-
came popular among the scholars OF
the age, Calvin determined to master
it. This he did, and he was now
master of all languages and think
err OF the highest order. The origin
al Greek manuscript OF the story Of
the founding of the church, and OF
the four gospels, fell into his hands
and his eyes were opened. 1t is a
fact that no one can make study
OF the New Testament without get
ting a wider vision. John Calvin
was student and thinker, and al
though he had been brought up un-
der the old regimeS, and had been
taught to despise the leaders OF the
new movement and all for which
they stood, he now accepted its
teachings and strobe into the Refor-
nation camp, where he proved to be
a recruit worth while.
Not long after, the time came Tor
the great sermon at the University
OF Paris. The man chosen to preach
1t felt himself unequal to the occa-
sion and asked John Calvin to write
the sermon for him. The preacher
preached Calvin's radical sermon
and the mischief was done. The ser
mon of course promulgated the ideas
OF the reformers and was counted as
rank heresy by those Of the old
regime. The preacher was literally
