Predestination and Foreknowledge absolute, the strongest of the Protestant fortresses all over the world were founded. \Vell it has been anticipated that iatalism as unflinching as this would have driven men headlong into ‘ des- i peratiOn and recklessness of the most unclean living.’ Yet there was no more the actual efiect of the fatalism of St. Paul. Augustine and Calvin than it was of the latalism of the Stoics or of Mohamined. On the contrary, Calvinism exalted its Vot- ai‘ies to a pitch of heroic and lllOflll‘ energy that has never been surpass ed; and men who were bound to suppose themselves moving in chains inexorably rivited, along the track ordered by a despotic and unseen will before time began. have yet exhibit- ed an active courage, a iesolute en- durance, a cheerlul self-reatraiut. an exulting sell-sacrifice, that men count union! the highest glories of the human conscience.” Bancroft. in his Hist. of the U. 8.

History is full of proots lor an theSe statements. In View of all this. how true is the say- : ing of the historian Green. an Epis- copalian Ulergyman, “It is in Calvin- lism that the modern world strikes its roots; 'l'or it was Calvinism that first revealed the worth and dignity of man.” It seems needless to pursue this subject larther.

It is a fact that should be remembered in this connection that the Reformed Anglican Church was, during the first hundred years of its existence; during the time it Was a voice in the world and not merely an echo; “hen its bishops sealed their testimony With their bloou, a Gawtn- ietic church-wit was not until the time of Land, of odious memory, that it lost the martyr aptrit of H5 [founders anu its accepted doctrines became permeated vs ith and emaacul- lated h) that Arminianism which. in ‘ Matthew Alnold’s \VUl'dS, " is apt to scrape the surface of thtnes only." .It', was at this same petiOd,â€"-â€"'°Th8 ‘IUZUOHUC pet‘iud.” that the famous lglorniication of Episcupacy and Apos‘ "tolic Succeesion in the Reformed [Church of England had its birth“ up ‘to this time Presbyterian Ministers l l were admitted into the Anglican |Church without re-ordination. This lwas not merely permitted by the 1| Church. it was the law by the Statute lol 13 Elizabeth and sustained by sub- sequent decisions of the Ecclesiastico al courts. It was the Act of Uni- formity (166:3) that. finally put a Stop , l to the prat ttce 'l‘he que~tiou I at- " > -,“ P UV veg-v ‘.â€"-~ - urally arises in the mind of the un biassed reader if this change in the attitude of the church was from heaven or of men, from :1. quickenml Spiritual life or from prevailing Spir- itual death? It undoubtedly arose from the desire not to glorify God but to exalt the hierarchy. It mark- ed the growtth of Sacerdotalism and in a measure a return to the Romish principles of tire-reformation times. And yet men are found who defend ‘ these a nti-democratic and unscriptur- al doctrines as if they were of divine I origin and therefore conveyed some niritual gift and created a spiritual aristocracy. If the teaching and I practice of the " bigoted and barbar- ous monster,” Laud could give them any Spiritual gift or christn then they certainly possess such a gift for it was tire-eminently his influence that secured for them the ascendancy which in a large section of the church they have ever since maintained. 0| *‘U‘v UU‘IUHU’ VaUVAW‘ vâ€"â€"â€" â€"-__ at a great public gathering in Eng-i land that “ when men are touched by l the Spirit of God and earnestly mov-q ed they become dissenters.
