/iEO. GILFILLAN’S ASSAULT ON CALYIN,
lIKI'LY OP MB. BAYNE IN iHE WEEKLY ItEYIEW.
Kev. 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

lany . Other denominations, were vie

Had such an attack come from

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.

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1864.
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.

Only True Dentrifice Kssown.
The public have long been in want of some conve
nient, safe and beneficial Dentrifice, which could be
relied ou as having a healthy and preserving effect on
the teeth and gums. Hundreds of worthless prepara
tions have already'been offered as such, in the form of
powders, pastes and liquids, when a trial has only
proved them injurious to the enamel of the teeth, or
else too inconveniont and unpleasant for daily 1 use, so
indispensable to the preservation :of the teeth*. The
Sozoaont is ottered with all confidence as a Beautifier
and Preserver of the Teeth, a scientific combination,
every ingredient of which is known to have abenefieinf
influence on the teeth and gums, imparting a delightful,
and refreshing taste and feeling to the mouth, correct* ;
ing all disagreeable odors arisingfrom deoaj r ed teethy
use of tobacco, &e. Its fragrance and convenience
make it a pleasure to use it; it is perfectly free from all
acids or other ingredients'having the least tendency to
injure the enamef.
This popular Dentrifice is now used and recommended.
by many of the first Dentists in the country, as well as
by many of the most eminent Divines, Physicians,
Chemists and Scientific Gentlemen of the day. ■
Thefollowingeminent clergymen and their families, of
New York city, together with hundreds of others, having
used the SOZODONT, are convinced of its excellent and
invaluable qualities, and give it their most cordial com
