I am glad to live In a city that has a Christian for mayor. I am proud Of George Alexander—he is not only a Christian, but as mayor of the city he ia a minister of God and not more truly so than other official.--." The foregoing were sentiments ex pressed by Dr. v.. s. Chapman lasl evening at the celebration in the First United Presbyterian church In honor of the four hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Calvin, in which all tho Presbyterian churches of the city united. Rev. Malcolm MoLeod of Tasadena presided at the meeting, which was held in tli<> church auditorium. Rev, T. T. Cresswell of Pomona was the flrst speaker. He had for his subject, "The Man—John Calvin." "John Calvin was the man of the hour in his times," said thin speaker. "The first battle of the Reformation had been fought and won. The Protestants hud acted in s< pirating themselves from the Roman church, but they i an articulate theology, it was Luther that brought flesh and blood to the Reformation, but it was Calvin that brought the bony skeleton that was to make it livr ami grow. "As Paul "as ill the first, so was Calvin in the sixteenth century th« thinker of his time. He was not 23 years old when he published his lirsi bonk, which won him renown for its profound thinking;. Ho believed that the Bible should have the same author ity as If it were a voice from heaven and he believed in a conquering God." Age Impatient of Dogma Rev. \V. W. I^ogan, pastor of the church, was the second speaker. Ife took for his subject "John Calvin and Theology." He aald: s"We live in mi age Impatient of clok ma. Our forefathers took their the ology straight, but we take ours di luted. As long as man is man, the ology relating to God will be interest ing. "The theology of Calvin had a wid» influence. It spread over France, the Low countries, influenced Germany and England, where the thirty-nine arti cle! are purely Calvinistic; and in the new world it came with the Pilgrims, and his theology continues a dominant theology today. Calvin sleeps in his grave, but his theology goes marching on. Ho believed In the supremacy and headship of Jesus Christ and in all the. reform movement* Calvin was the only one to establish a foreign mission." Dr B. S. Chapman, who spoke mi "John Calvin and Civil Liberty" was greeted with applause. He spoke ex tensively of the work of Calvin along liberal lines, and began by quoting Bancroft on Calvin and said: "Foremost among the mosl efficient of modern republican legislators is Cal vin, whose, geniua infused enduring elements in the Institutions of the city of Geneva and made for the modern world the impregnable fortress of liber ty. The Pilgrims of Plymouth were Calvlnlitß, The first ahip that left Holland with Pilgrims for the new world carried Calvinisls. "He that will not honor Calvin knows little of the history of American lib erty The early Pilgrim colonies copied the' laws 'if 'Geneva, The most in fluentlal person in forming the laws and shaping the ((institution was Ihe first president of Princeton—Dr. Wlther spoon—and it is said that he should be portralted with books of Calvin in one hand and the Declaration of Independ ence In the other.
