Each citizen was per force a Protestant, and ipso facto a member of the Church founded by Calvin. The State was in duty-bound to support this Church. The magistrates paid for the support of the, Church, and, believing it to be a public insti- tution, did not fail to exercise a general con- trol over if. On many occasions. ministers were summoned before the councils of the Republic for preaclring or teaching in a man- ner not approved by the authorities. They were obliged to comply with the wishes of the -magistrates, In fact, the State was ruling over the Church. ‘At the same time the Church enjoyed very important prerogatives, and the “Com- pagnie des Pasteurs,” ‘or College of Pastors, was invested with a high jurisdic- _| tion. It was its duty to enforce the disci: |-pline or moral rules of the Church, and see Hat dissolute sinners did not trespass upon Rem: dt had a tribunal of its own, where pagiies were pronounced, including im- ient and excommunication. . When- ere was a. vacant parish the ‘.Com- ‘des Pasteurs” chose among the mein- pagni bers “of..the. clergy a “ministre,” or unen- paged fill it. The nomination had to Be Fa 2b: py the Government, to ys As auSSE iB Collere of Pastors lost Amp nee and ceased to exer- ai control over the morals of Ss. ‘It retained the rignt of appointing tors, and was all-powerful in doctrinal matters. The liturgies o& the Church were prepared by this body. In 1725 the ‘ Coim- pagnie ” suppressed the Confession of Fuith, obligatory upon all, but the confession was preserved in the iiturgies, as embodied in the prayers, and candidates for the clergy were examined as to their orthodoxy. Thirty-four years ago a great change took place in our ecclesiastical organizanons, A radical revolution broke out, and a new con- :stitution.came out of the movement. The Church itself underwent a great modifica- fon. ‘The ‘Compagnie des Pasteurs” was leprived of its right to determine its doc- trine and no longer appointed ministers to vacant places. ‘The institution became a | pubile establishment, open to every belief. ven pastors were uo longer required to con- form to any partleujar theological views. The right of choosing ministers was trans- ferred to the electors of ‘the parish. Every Protestant citizen was entitled toa vote in ecclesiastical matters. The management of the Church was left toa consistory composed of twenty-five Iaymen and six_ pastors, all |- elected every fourth year by thé. Protestant citizens of the canton. Be Every thinking mind saw that a church, resting on no Special religious basis, - was no Jonge a@ church; but for a course of e danger of the new organization. was averted. After reorganizing the Church, the radicals did not take. any serious interest in it, and for eighteen years, down to 1874, the conservative and affirmative Protestants obtained a large_ma~- jority in the election of the consistory. They retained orthodox liturgies, and decreed that young candidates for the ministry should ac- cept the Christian doctrines as expressed in the ‘inspired Scriptures. In this way the Church of Geneva retained its foothold. The de¢isions of the consistory, however, were extra legal, and not inaccordance either with . the letter or spirit of the Constitution. The situation was not safe. os Although the national Church of Geneva remained in appearance a Christian and be- lieving Church, the spirit of doubt and -Fationalism made its way into the citadel. For many years someof its pastors had taken side with the liberal or rationalistic branch of Protestantism. They felt uneasy on account of the orthodox creed of the. institution, as expressed in the liturgy, and got very angry at some of their doctrinal’ friends from abroad... The- consistory ‘refused:.to’ permit Pastor Reville, of Holland, to preach inthe pulpit, on the ground that he was an avowed rationalist. ‘Ihe liberals also denied the dressed, with 2 heavy suit of hair, dari mi short cropped, and a heavy sandy beard, stiff mustache, clipped short, blue eyes, and very defective teeth, affecting ar- cnlation, and a countenance expressive of . meekness and: benevolence.

Before speaking of his sermon let me say of the sougregabon thas I seldom have seen one of the that contained more handsome faces, The several leading sects, Presby- terians, Baptists, Methodists, and Tunkers, witha few Mornions, made up the congreza- tion, The Tunkers, by their neat and pe- culiar head-gear for the numbers, bore off the palm of beauty. One face, a fair maiden, talland commanding in size, with features thatreminded me of the pictures of the “Madonna,” would have been singled out anywhere asa beauty.

He said he had come tight of the consistory to make the Church orthodox by requiring candidates to the ministry to believe in the insiration of the -Scriptures. The dissatisfied pastors were followed by a number of the members of the Church. They began to think of changing the organization of the national establish- ment by making it agree with the spirit of the Constitution of 1846. All that was wanted to accomplish a revolution was to obtain the help of the Free-Thinkers and of the irre- ligious workingmen, and then elect a con- sistory composed of radical elements. This was done in 1874, after a long and complex struggle in the preceding consistory. ‘The new body enacted a Jaw regulating the or- ganization of the Church according to the rinciples of the Constitution of 1816. A iberal or rationalistic liturgy was appended to the orthodox prayers, allowing each preacher to choose between the two sets ac- cording to his views. An entire liberty of thinking and teaching was left to the pastors, who were free to use any sort of catechism, liberal or orthodox, for the instruction of the young. Candidates for the ministry were in ho way questioned as to their doctrines, and ordination was suppressed. ‘The most abso- lnte liberty of doctrine was laid af the basis of ihe p, institution, ane are discussion was made the only Church tene! : ‘All the believing part of the Presbyterian Church saw atonce what would be the effects of the new ecclesiastical orzinization, and no doubt the law of 1874 would have been de- feated had it not been for the vote of the lib- eral Catholics. Every constitutional law, although it might concern only a part of the community, was submitted to the ratification of allcitizens. The liberal Catholics were eager to adopt the work of their brother rad- jeals of the consistory. The Roman Catho- lics kept away from the polls on that occa- sion. Soon r the establishment of the new law, some of the pastors of the Church adopted the liberal liturgies, suppressed the Apostles’ Creed in the prayers after the ser- mon, rejected the: faith in the divinity of Christ, and taught the most advanced theo- ries of rationalism. They. were at once abandoned by the greater part of the church- -going people, and retained around them a very small circle of friends. At the same time the consistory of 1874 evinced strong, preference for liberal pastors, and vexed the’ others in every way, not even authorizing them to use churches before or after the regutar hours of worship, in order to preach what they regarded as true Christianity. A very noted clergyman belonging to the or- thodox branch was suspended for six months because he would not consent to read a cir- cular Janudatory of the new organization. ‘The effect was natural. A. good many earnest Protestants said: “‘Can we call an institution open to every doctrine, the only tenet of which is to proclaim the virtue of free research, a church?

There are in the City of Geneva five: places of worship, and I think twelve official pastors, receiving from the State a salary of about 4,500 francs a year. Instead of preaching every second or third Sunday in the same pulpit, each of them preaches in his turn in each of the five churches. The consequence is that a person or a family who attends religious: services every Sunday in the same church hears successively pastors of all creeds, and is tossed about on the waters of contradictory theological systems. In such conditions adoration and worship are no longer possible. “ i “ JACK’S HOUSE.” CURIOUS ACCOUNT OF THE ORIGIN OF THE “" WELL-KNOWN NURSERY STORY. London Congregatjonal Magazine.

PROTESTANT CHRISTIANITY ANOTHER LETTER FROM MMS. JANE G, SWISSHELM. ‘Mo the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cmcaco, Aug. 3L.—In your last Sunday issue are strictures on my article, ‘The Rev. Elizabeth Aiken,” by ‘Mary Elenor Ander- son,” who seems to be “Mrs, Galusha An- derson,” author of “Aunt Lizzie Aiken,” and,-in them, she first defends herself against my charge of haying. written the book “in perfect unconsciousness of its value as an illustration of what we call Protestant. Christianity.” Can it be that I have been mistaken, and that Mrs, Anderson’ was conscious when writing that book of the story its tells? Did she intend to illustrate sex’ caste in the church; to show how completely men have usurped -all authority in it; how greedily they have appropriated all places of honor or profit in it; how completely Simeon has expelled Anna.from the temple, and how effectually he has barred her out-?

Did she know the proof she was furnishing that the preachers of to-day value. their own au- thority above the salvation of souls, and assume to decide for the Lord to whom He shall give the gift of the Holy Ghost, and to prevent unfavorable results to their exclus- ive momtatony from any mistakes she may make? - If she were conscious: of all this, she has concealed that consciousness with wonder- ful tact, Mrs, |Anderson’s barnacle meta- phor is not clear, If the Church is a‘ship and has barnacles, it is it, and not “our- selves,” which should be rid of them. Bar- nacles never grow on people; Gant if they did, how should) we endanger the ship by-an attempt to rid ourselves of them? She seems tobe tender of; barnacles and any effort to rid ourselves of |them, and says: “By so do- ing we break off the timbers of the ship it- self, and_may end. by wrecking our own souls,” Barna¢les do not grow on. those arts of a ship’ where the timbers can be Broken off. They might be pried off or dug off, or something of this kind, but‘could not be broken: off. “Chen, they always puta ship into dry-dock before ridding her of barna- cles, and the “passengers are supposed to be ashore. Ships are not wrecked in dry-dock, and if they were it would be all right with the passengers. ‘There is no occasion for alarm; for, if our churches are ships, it would be quite safe to sail them all out into mid-ocean of the Sea of Forgetfulness, scut- tle, and send them tothe bottom. Nota soul would be wrecked by the process; for, as old eraft’s decks reached the water’s ede, the souls would take to the life-boats, reach land, and build more ships. God’s love and man’s. consciousness of needing it are not kept under hatches. They fill the universe, and souls will always find ships to carry them into the haven of eternal rest. . ‘Mrs. Anderson thinks her book does not “milaly patronize” the subject, and says “I should’as_soon think of patronizing saint or angel.” Would she write of the Apostle of the Gentiles as Uncle Paul, or of Gabriel as Uncle ’Riel? Could she record the fact that one of these, or any masculine divine, was on the verge of want, in the streets of Chi- cago, and was sent to 2. woman whose claims to distinction seem to have been her hus- band’s big D’s, to. be supplied with brezd to eat and work in the‘Master’s vineyard, and not make a sign of the incongruity of the situation ?

The minis- ters by a large majority—nearly two to one— determined to resume the prosecution of the heretical Professor; while the Elders, al- though giving a majority to the motion, wero almost evenly divided. ‘The same difference ‘of view was manifest in the Hebale: as the Elders’ for the most part spoke against the motion, and in fact seem to have led the op- Position to it.” One of them made the sig- nificant remark “that, if the Free Church Wenton as she was doing, she would find herself in the same position as the Establish- ment.

On Monday the Northumberland Presbytery met‘at the small Village of Embleton, about on equal distance from the seats of Earl Grey and the ‘Duke of Northumberland, for the purpose of -ordaining a candidate or postulant, or what- ever the right may be, to the ministry of the Yocal Presbyterian church. . The Vicar of the parish, a well-known.: historical writer, at- tended the service, and after. the ceremony qwas over he dined with the members of the Presbytery at the village inn. The Moderator occupied the chair, Supported by the Vicar on his right, and the newly-ordained minister on his left. After dinner the company drank the health, first of the new pastor, and then of the Vicar of the parish, who, in respond- ing, expressed his desire to work as heartily with his new Noncontormist colleague as he had done with his predecessor. It would be amarked epoch in English historf if the rural clergy were to model their relations with their- Nonconforming neighbors on the Embleton precedent. .
