George ,4-ilfillan, considerably mown and perhaps respected in this Jountry as a- hold writer, famous for a ertain antithetic brilliancy and for Weeping verdicts of criticism, is a min ster of the United Presbyterian Church : Dundee, Scotland. At a time when ot onlyAhe Presbyterian Church, but lany . Other denominations, were vie ng With each other in suitably recogni i/g tno Tercentenary of the death of ae Great Reformer, the perverse genius f Mr. Gilfillan prompts him- to an as iult of the most rancorous and whole do character, upon the’ name, the Bys em, and even the Christianity, of the Had such an attack come from /e pen of a rationalist or of a Papist, s tone would;even then have created' lrpriso; much more when emanating, om one of the most staid and true of 10 various branches of the vPresbyte en family in Scotland. Wo copy, as a curiosity, from the r eekly Review the summary of the posi ons of this remarkable discourse, and e append a portion of the admirable id conelusiye reply of the Review in the course of a sermon on Sunday af rnoon, in his ovm church, at Dundee, on ie words—“ Call no man father on the irth," Mr. George Gilfillan alluded to the flueoce of Reformers. These had been, t his judgment, the most ill-used of all inasmuch as during their, lifetime their >dies narrowly escaped feeding the flames, : a fter death their fame had been nearly [ficocated with rancid incense. John Cal n had been the hero of the past week, but was rather ominous that his admirers had leoted for anniversary not the date of his ■th, July 10, 1509, but the date of his ath, the 27th of May, 1564. Calvin, no übt, was a great man, and there was a eat amount of truth in his system. Hut ilvin was not only not Christ, but he had is of Christ about him than almost any iristian divine he could name. He was irsh, narrow, dogmatic, cold, cruel. The stem of policy established while he lived Geneva, was worse than that which pro filed in Naples under Bomba. It was a stem of brutal cruelty. One James Gruet, r writing some loose verßes, was beheaded, ven little boys and girls were liable i capital punishment for trivial of nses. And need he name Servetus—a ame which, despite the one-sided sophis ry of Calvin’s defenders, rested like a loody blot on that Reformer’s brow ? He entured to make an assertion—it might eem strange now, but there was a day com ig when it would appear a mere truism— uvt Shakspeare, whose tercentenary had een recently celebrated, was a better repre ?ntative of the Christian religion than Cal in. The ono was a monk in reality, though ot in name; the other was"*} man in the roadest sense of the term. The one was a ew of the stoniest type; the other a Chris an of (he noblest grain. The one found vil in things good; and the other a soul of Dodness in things evil. The one wrote in itules of theology in elegant Latin, which ere readonly by scholars; the other dramas i plain English, which were read by the civil ed world, and would be read after Calvin m was, to say the least, no longer, as now, isurdly identified by many with Christian y. He spoke then of, creeds, and express -1 his delight that Dr. Candlish had broken 'ound on' that question by asserting that lere were statements in the Confession of fitli opposed at once to science and Scrip re. Tho reply of the Weekly Review , is in irt, as follows: Let us look at Mr. Gilfillan’s specifi lions of fact-. “ One James Gruet, for i-iting .loose verses, was beheaded.” met was tho ringleader of a party Inch aimed at revolutionizing the Ge van State, and publicly threatened to sassinate several of their opponents, no of the offences for which he died as writing a letter to a private indi-. dual, in which he exhorted the Duke Savoy to make whr against Geneva, his, of course, was high treason, and 10 counts on which be was condemned ore “ sedition, blasphemy, and atho n.” We say not that Gruet ought to vo been executed, or that,'in the pre nt day, he would have been executed any free country; but it is mere non nso to talk of “ loose verses,” as the uso of his death. “ Even little boys id girls,” proceeds Mr. Gilfillan, “ were l'glo to Capital punishmeut for trivial ’ances.” Principal Tulloch mentions at one child was beheaded at Geneva r having struck her parents, but he ites none of the circumstances, and e date of the occurrence, which he ves without remark, was 1568, four :ars after Calvin had been laid in his avo. It ißSnown; to all students of story and of human nature that a in’s imitators exaggerate 'and overdo Is system, and it ought not to surprise to find the Genevese exercising dißci ine after Calvin’s death in a mapper hich would have shocked and pained c Reformer. Of Servetus we shall it speak. . . What we maintain is at it is a scientific blunder and super ‘iality- in Mr. Gilfillan to view the :ath of Servetus as a proof of personal UTOwftess, hardness, or cruelty in Cal ii. Mr. Gilfillan speaks of Shaks ::u-o. What does he make of Shaks ;aro’s coarse and feelingless treatment Joan of Arc? If Shakspeare was a ndhearted man, though he looked >on the noblest and most ill-fated he ino mentioned' in history with no hur thought than that she was a vul ir witch who ought to be burnt to lies, why should Mr.' Gilfillan infer nelty on the part of Calvin for doing hat his own conscience and the most Qua a.nd tender-hearted of bis contem- Jraries would have told him it was a a to leave undone ? Capacity of sym ithy used to be Mr. Gilfillan’s forte ; ' was able to understand men’s motives i represented to their own minds. To parate between expressions of feeling in which he is but the mouthpiece of his time, is the first problem for the biogra pher and the historian. Unless,you have some skill in solving that problem you will find the portrait gallery of the past crowded with impossibilities in hu man shape, with angels or with devils, not with men. In the case of Calvin the problem is not difficult. We cannot imagine a candid, capable, and informed mind failing to discover what manner of manhe was. In his domestic rela tions considerate and kind; to his friends—and he had many friends— sympathizing and faithful; in his, con ceptions of duty intense and definite, in doing thatduty superiorasPaul to the wish for gain, and as Daniel to the fear of death—such was Calvin. Ab sence of private or personal motive in his public actions was pre-eminently his characteristic; the angel Gabriel, bear ing the commission of the Most High, could hardly have thought less of self and more of God’s glory than John Cal vin. In reading his books and letters, and following the stream of his life, we are assisted more than by any modern man in our attempt to realize what devotion to God meant in such men as Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David. We submit that it is only by thus understanding, and doing justice to, the man,' that the important lessons of his life can be read. Every whipster knows no w-a-days that we ought not to kill Servetuses on account of their opinions. If Servetus re-ap peared, he would in our day be a highly fashionable and popular personage, and wb doubt whether, if he happened to turn up in the Church of England, be would not find favor in the eyes of the Privy: Council But what rebuke- to human pride could be more terrible, what monition to utility could be more impressive, than to know that Calvin, the man who of all moderns walked most closely with God, fell into an ap palling practical error, and that his en deavor to realize- the kingdom of God upon earth by Church discipline and sumptuary laws, out of which endeavor came all the heroism of the Puritans, was a sublime mistake ? How shall we learn so impressively that God in his providence is the only infallible in terpreter of Scripture as by observing that the colossal intellect of Calvin, oc cupied, and so occupied, for forty years in the study of Scripture, failed to dis cover those principles ,of toleration which, three centuries alter his death, seem - to us announced in the simplest utterances of the Saviour ? r Mr. Gilfillan declares further that Calvin : “found evil in things good.” This we explicitly deny. Calvin’s views respecting the gifts of God, whether the noble capacities of the human intel lect or the bounties of nature, were as broad as are entertained by the most intelligent and liberal minds iu the pre sent day—as broad, in fact, as the truth. If Mr. Gilfillan wants to know what Calvin thought of the gifts of God i,n nature.- ho has but_to read _the_lQth_. Chapter of the'3d Book of the “ Chris tian Institutes,” on the use that ought to he made of the present life and its advantages. Tho principle Calvin lays doiym is that everything is to be used for the purpose to which God has adapt ed it; and be maintains that “delight and hilarity" were contemplated by the Creator as well as mere support of life. Our food not only nourishes us, it gives us pleasure—a divinely-appointed pleasure. Our clothes - are not merely for protection against the weather, they are for comeliness and seemly adorn ment. In herbs, in trees, in fruits, we are to recognize as Divine gifts the grace of their aspect and the pleasant ness of their odors. The natural quali ties of things, he says, indicate suffi ciently how, and to what extent, the gifts of nature are to be enjoyed. “ Did the Lord,” he exclaims, “ endue flowers with such beauty, taking the eye by its inherent attraction, with such fra grance, appealing naturally to the sense of smell, and shall it be a sin for the eye to be charmed with beauty and the sense of smell with fra grance ? What! did He not distinguish between colors, in order that He might make one more agreeable than another ? What! did He not breathe grace inio gold and silver, ivory and marble, in order that He might render them prep oious beyond other metals and stones? In one word,.has He not commended many things to us for reasons apart from their necessary usos? Away, then, with that inhuman philosophy which, granting only the (necessary use of God’s creatures,- not only deprives us of lawful fruition" of the Divine benefi cience, but cannot have its way without reducing man, stripped of all his senses, to a Btump.’’ Tho man who wrote this cannot, unless he flagrantly contradicted himself, Pave “found evil in things good.” His principle is that all things ought to be enjoyed which God, speak ing through nature, intended to be en joyed. Our admiration for Shakspeare is perhaps as cordial as Mr. Gilfillan’s. But we own ourselves surprised to find a minister of the Gospel presenting Shakspeare as “ a Christian of the no blest grain.” The religion preached by Mr! Gilfillan proceeds essentially on the supposition that there is a natural man, and that there is.a spiritual man. Re ject that distinction, and you obliterate Christianity. There arc grounds for hoping, if not actually believing, that, before his death; Shakspeare became a spiritual man. But in his works he appears as what Goethe calls - him, a natur-frommer, ope pious according to the piety of nature, not more. To speak of him as a Christian of tflib no blest grain, is to cast derision at once on him and on Christianity. Whitefield spent days and weeks pros trate on the ground in silent or vocal prayer.

MINISTERIAL SUPPORT* The following paper adopted and we believe directed to be read in the churches, by the late General Assembly at Newark, is earnestly commended to the notice of all our sessions and con gregations. We fear they are not awake as they should be to th’e terrible emer gency into which the constant rise in prices is pressing a large number of their pastors. No time should be lost in taking such action as will effectually relieve the necessities of these worthy men and their dependent families. Beloved Brethren:— We have; on various occasions, addressed our church es on the subject of providing an ade quate support for the ministers of the gospel; and are happy to know that this obligation has been generally recognized in our communion. * Under ordinary circumstances, it might have been superfluous to advert to the subject again, but the calamitous war, which has been so recklessly and causelessly forced upon our country by unscrupulous and wicked men, bringing with it so many new duties, trials, and sorrows and affecting in various ways the vital interests of the Church, is tell ing with extreme severity upon the comfort and usefulness of the Christian ministry. Many, very many worthy, faithful and devoted pastors, while they and their families have been suffering for want of the comforts, and often the necessaries of life, have most sensibly been caused to realize some of the con sequences of the groat sin of rebellion. It would be but a waste of time to d well upon the greatly increased expenses of living; you have but too many proofs of it already. The inevitable conse-, quence . has been a corresponding advance in. wages and salaries, and a corresponding loss to all dependent upon fixed incomes. Families have in creased the wages of their domestics; farmers and mechanics, of their work men; merchants, commercial institu tions, corporations of every kind, and public offices, municipal. State, and na tional, of their clerks and agents. A movement so general and comprehen sive must have had an adequate cause, the necessity which compelled it must be one reaching all classes of society— all, at least, dependent upon fixed sala ries for a livelihood—and none should be denied a participation in these mea sures of relief. We have, however, reason to fear that np to this period, with some rare and honorable exceptions, the claims of the minis try have been overlooked, i The salaries of pastors, always small, always much less than they coiild have earned in secular pursuits, and too often insuf ficient for even a meagre support, re main, in a large majority of eases, sta tionary, while the the price of living has been advanced fully fifty per cent. We believe this is the result, not of design, -but —of*- Inadvertence. Tasfors shrfnK from asking an increase, and it is not the wav of the world to enlarge salaries where there is neither demand nor com plaint. But we are sure that our peo ple would not willingly subject their ministers to the mortification of suppli cating an increase of their stipends. We cannot doubt their readiness to act in the promises, whenever it shall be properly brought before them. To be lieve otherwise, would be a reproach to their intelligence, their sense of justice, their appreciation of Christian ordi nances, and theirfidelity to the Saviour. They are not yet prepared to condemn his wise and equitable decree, “ That they Which preach the gospel, should live of the Gospel.” What our congre gations need is, that some competent authority should bring the subject to their notice. It is with this vio.w, beloved brethren, that we address this letter to you, the respected ruling elders and trustees of our churches. Wo ask you to bring, the subject before your respective congre gations with the least possiole delay. We beg you to have it prayerfully consider ed. Deal justly—nay, generously—by your pastors. Your liberality to them will not be a lost investment, but will yield a rich return to you and your fami lies; for in this, as in other relations, “ he which sowoth bountifully, shall reap also bountilully.” You will begin to reap at once, for a congregation always finds its own present advantage in re lieving its pastor of all perplexity about his support, and placing him in a position where he can work with comfort, his mind free from anxious and harassing cares about Ms temporal support. And then, if other motive still he needed, you have it in those touching and wonderful words of our. Lord and Saviour—“ Inas much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” If the Saviour were here, is there a church bearing his name that would not covet the privilege of minis tering to his wants ? We are deeply impressed with tho importance of this subject. It is not at all in the light of a personal favor to the ministers of the gospei that we bring it before you. It is vital to the Church, mnd vital to out afflicted country. Our most precious interests, secular and spiritual, ecclesiastical and national, de mand that the hands of the evangelical ministry be strengthened in every prac ticable way, and the ordinances of the sanctuary clothed with the highest de gree of efficiency. We are now being punished ; most grievously for tho'past wickedness of the nation; and it cannot be too often nor too strongly impressed upon the minds and hearts of onr peo ple, that there cannot be any rational hope of maintaining our free institutions except by the all pervading influences of the gospel. “ Righteousness efxalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach! to any people.” “If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free/indeed.” All history abundantly confirms these cleai - teachings of the Bible, and we must heed them if we desire to ijscape the fate of the many great and powerful nations that have perished from the earth. How is it possible to produce these blessed results, so dear to the heart of every Christian, of every true patriot, unless we maintain the Christian minis try; and the ordinances of the Gospel in a condition of the highest practicable efficiency ?—and how can that be done without an adequate support of the ministry ? We leave the matter in your hands, dear brethren, satisfied that you will deal with it in a spirit of Christian kindness to your pastors and.of unfeign ed love to our common Lord and Master. P. S.—This letter relates to pastors; but the policy it recommends pertains, with equal reason, to ministers who are faithfully serving the Ghurch in her Colleges, Seminaries and Boards, and in this view we invite attention to it on the part of all concerned in the manage ment of those Institutions. \ MISSIONARY ITEMS. Rev. John Robson, the talented mis sionary of the* United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in India, gives tho followir g interesting account of an in terviewlhad by himself and helper with the.natives: “ The mysterious power of the Eng ish was referred to at the close of the mfeetiDg. Khan Singh bad been addressing them, and had with his usual power aiid eloquence, drawn a picture of the benefits of salvation, and . of the happiness, of those who could obtain it., A sharp little man in thelfront of the crowd cried out, ‘ Well, just tell ns how we may obtain it.’ ‘lf I tell-you, will you believe me.?’ ‘Yes.’ .‘And do whatever I tell you?’ ‘Yes.’ Wbat pro fession areiyou?’ ‘A shop-keeper.’ ‘And -if I were io'say that the way to obtain salvation [was to leave off lying and cheating, would you leave them off?’ ‘ Certainly not,’ was the prompt reply. Several in’the .crowd laughed at the way in which-the bunia. had been caught; and he, after staring round with a most comical expression of bewilderment, at last saw how lie had contradicted him self, and joined in the laugh too. Then he added, ‘Now that is not fair;.you English can make a carriage travel forty miles in an hour, and we Hindus take two days to do that distance. You send post lightning from one end of Hindus tan to the other in half a second, and’ we Hindus take half a year to do it. Now, in the sajme way show a plan by which we can get salvation right away —somO plan that we do not know al ready.’ This was a good opening, of which Khan Singh took advantage, and concisely and clearly told the tale of di vine love and the way of salvation through a risen Saviour. We-left them at last discussing among themselves what he had said. Outrages Committed upon the Chris tians oe Fuh-ghau.— On Sunday, Janu ary 17, the dhapei of the American Methodist Episcopal Mission, in the east street of the city, was violently entered, "T.lie~furiiTt"ufo broken up, and the Chris tians beaten. At night a second attack was made, the native preacher was forced out of the building with a young child in his arms. Railing to the ground he became stunned, and was glad to he able to take his infant to a place of safe ty. Meanwhile his wife and sister were ill-used in every conceivable way, and. were compelled to endure that to which, as they afterward said, death a thousand timeis would have been preferable. Sim ultaneously With these proceedings, another mob attacked the chapel of tho English Church Mission in South street, and demolished everything they could find. ,p, The British and American consuls took the most prompt and efficient ac tion when informed of what had occurr ed ; but the magistracy showed the usual disposition to screen the chief offenders; so that if thjey should bo really punished it will only be in consequence of the resolute determination of those gentle men. DISCOYEBY OF A NEW GRAIN. It appears that some gentlemen in her Majesty’s service, during explorations in a very wild part of our North Ameri can possessions, were struck with the pertinacity with which immense flocks of wild fowl and other game hunted cer tain localities. On close investigation it was found that they came there to feed on a sort of rice which was indigenous to the place, and renewed itself by shedding its seed in the alluvial deposit. A letter has been received from a gentleman in a high officialpost under Government, who has forwarded a considerable quantity of said grain, and requested-experiments thereon. It was found in a wild state, and in much colder locality than this. It seems to differ from the “paddy,” or national rice of China. If it succeeds, and sows itself in our bogs, it will be the greatest boon to the British sportsman ever conferred upon him. —Carlisle Pa triot. Churches.- —The Church of North' Pork, at Roseville, Yermillion County, 111., which has for many years been un der the care of Rev. E. Kingsbury, has within the past year more than doubled its membership, and promises well for the future. The church at Middle port, 111., are now enjoying the privilege of worshipping in the “ Lord’s House,” which was dedicated to his worship on the sth of April, Sermon by Rev. Al fred Eddy. * Accurate Geography. —The London Times of May 21st informs its readers, under the head of American intelligence, that Gen. Lee had left his dead and wounded on the field at Buffalo, and was advancing in two columns on Richmond, The reader will of course wonder how the rebels passed through Pennsylvania and New York, and speculate on the strategy which, so soon after, remarehed towards Richmond. A matter dealt with gently, prospers; but a matter dealt with violently, brings vexation to the author. JP^ritsp^itts.
