First Presbytekian Chukch, Savannah, Ga. : INTRODUCTION. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States in session at Birmingham, Ala., May, 1907, received from the Executive Commission of the Alliance of Reformed Churches throughout the world holding the Presbyterian System, the following communication relative to a general observance of the 400th Anniversary of the birth of John Calvin "The Executive Commission draws the attention of the churches in the Alliance and of all lovers of true progress to the approaching Four Hundredth An^ niversary of the birth of John Calvin. The Reformer was born at Noyon, Picardy, France, July 10, 1509. His life was lived during one of the most important and crucial epochs of human history. In the provi- dence of God he was one of the most potent forces of his day for human progress, and his influence continues in the present, and will abide in the future, a great power for the welfare of mankind. Men of all classes of thought and of all nations recognize his greatness. Particularly was he influential in setting in motion those forces which have resulted in the formation of the American nation. Great historians speak of him as the founder of the United States. While thus con- nected, however, with the American Republic, the great Genevan had and has a vital relation to all Chris- tian nations. No man of his age has been more influ- ential in securing civil and religious liberty, the devel- : 6 Calvin Memorial Addresses opment of popular government, the secular progress of man, the reformation of the Christian Church, the development of religious thought along true lines, and the general advance of the Kingdom of God in the world. It is recommended : That the Supreme Judicatories of the Churches in the Alliance be requested and urged to take steps for the general observance by all their congregations of the four hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. Overtures v^ere received from thirteen presbyteries to the same effect. In response to these overtures, the following ad ifi- terim committee was appointed "to consider and report upon a plan for the general celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Calvin throughout our Church" : R. F. Campbell, J. W. Stagg, C. M. Richards, D. H. Ogden, W. W. Moore, W. M. McPheeters, Geo. E. Wilson, J. D. Murphy, J. W. Faxon, W. J. Martin, A. G. Hall. The Assembly of 1908, in session at Greensboro, N. C, took the following action, in accordance with the recommendation of the ad interim committee "The General Assembly, recognizing the historic significance of this anniversary, and the unusual oppor- tunity afforded thereby for the vindication, propaga- tion and inculcation of the great principles of the Re- formed Faith, which lie at the foundation of civil and religious liberty, and earnestly desiring, along with sister churches of the same faith and order throughout the world, Rev. W. Moore Scott, Pastor First Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Ga. : Calvin Memorial Addresses 7 "To take Occasion by the hand and make The bounds of freedom wider yet," adopts the following plan looking to the general ob- servance of the Calvin Quadricentennial by the Pres- byterian Church in the United States I. All institutions of learning within the bounds of the Assembly, under Presbyterian auspices, are re- quested to consider the feasibility of arranging for series of sermons and addresses bearing on the life and work of John Calvin at such time or times during the year 1909 as may be most convenient. IL The Assembly suggests that the religious papers of the church have prepared and published in their columns at intervals during the year 1909 as many articles as possible relating to Calvin and Calvinism. III. The Assembly recommends that each Presby- tery at its meeting in the fall of 1908 appoint a special committee to arrange for a formal celebration of the Calvin Quadricentennial at its meeting in the spring of 1909, and to plan for appropriate sermons and ad- dresses in the individual churches of the Presbytery at such time as each church may determine, giving preference to dates as near as possible to that of Cal- vin's birth, July 10. IV. The Assembly adopts the following program of exercises for the celebration of the Calvin Quadri- centennial during the sessions of the General Assem- bly of 1909." 8 Calvin Memorial Addresses The program referred to was successfully carried out by the Assembly in session at Savannah, Ga., May 20th to 28th, 1909, and the addresses delivered on that occasion are contained in this volume, which is issued by the Committee of Publication, in accordance with the order of the Assembly. R. F. CAMPBELL, Chairman of the ad interim Committee. Gavel Presented. A-Ir. C. S. Wood, who invited the Assembly to Savannah, presented to the Moderator, on behalf of the Session of the First Church, Savannah, a historic gavel, made from a beam taken from the belfry of St. Peter's Cathedral, in Geneva, where John Calvin preached. A picture of this gavel was published in the Christian Observer of May 19. The address was as fol- lows: Presentation Address By Charles S. Wood. Mr. Moderator: The great honor and privilege has been accorded me this morning of investing you with the implement of authority that you may successfully resume your labors and properly transmit the office of Moderator to your successor. The words I must submit have to do with a long and devious pathway of history, even up to this historic occasion. I shall not depart from old or modern methods if some of the threads of my scattered history are spun of fancy; for history, they say, is written from facts and fancy. You will discern the facts and wrestle with the live things of imagination. First, Geneva is my theme. Mr. C. S. Wood, Who Presented to the General Apsembly the Calvin Gavel. Calvin AIemorial Addresses 9 In the commentaries of Caesar we find the first appearance of Geneva in history, "The most northerly city of the Allabroges." He relates how he cut the bridge over the Rhone in order to prevent the passage of the Helvetes, B. C. 58, intimating that the gods had ordained its favorable destiny—a statement of uncon- scious Calvinism. This great soldier found then, as it is now, a city beautiful for situation ; one side guarded by the undulating pine-clad Jura, another by the ver- dant ledges of the Saleve, with the snow-clad range of Mt. Blanc thrown into relief against the deep blue sky, and fronting a lake, the matchless beauty of which has never ceased to inspire painters and poets of all lands. In the fourth century we find this city and state organized into the first kingdom of Burgundy. Sub- sequently it came under the control of the Franks and Germans successively governed by one or the other or by both directly or indirectly for several hundred years. Early in the sixteenth century it was remark- able for the final struggle between the people and the partisans of the Duke of Savoy, the successes of the former becoming effective finally with the adoption of the Reformation, when the Episcopal authority was abolished. About this period of unrest, 1536, there came to Geneva John Calvin, a refugee from Picardy, already celebrated for his bold utterances and distinguished for his scholarly accomplishments in letters, law and theology. He was impressed by Farel to abide and lend his wisdom and talents to the emergency. The people accepted him, then exiled him, and at last em- braced him ; and so the canton of Geneva became a lo Calvin Memorial Addresses republic, governed by Syndics and Councils elected by the people. The city quickly became famous through Calvin, whose influence now extended over the whole of Europe in Church and State and public instruction. He elaborated civil and sumptuary laws, investing old institutions with a simplicity which attracted the attention and obtained the support of reformers in all countries. He trusted the people to elect a Council, competent to appoint the judges. He founded an academy which in modern times became a university of wide renown.

For there is scarcely any shorter road to all kinds of disaster than to praise virtue; and it were extreme folly voluntarily to bring down on one’s self evils which mere silence may avert. But if the wicked allow no kind of virtue to be proclaimed with impunity, what must those expect, whose object it is to proclaim piety, which is of a higher order than virtue, and is not only opposed by the wicked, but is also very often assailed even by persons who are most desirous to appear, and sometimes also to be, honest? For piety has no enemies more inveterate than those who have sincerely embraced a false religion, thinking it true, But these things, however formidable in appearance, have not at all deterred me. For it were shameful if, from fear of the wicked, the good were not to be spoken of, and if the voice of religion were to be suppressed by the clamors of the superstitious.
