CHAPTER NINE John Knox JOHN WESLEY more than a hundred years ago perceived the essential nature of this dilemma when he said in one of his sermons, “I fear whenever nches have increased, the essence of religion has decreased in the same proportion. Therefore, I do not see how it is possible, in the nature of things, for any revival of true religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these can not but produce riches. But, as riches increase, so will pride, anger and love of the world in all its branches.” Wesley’s solution was to exhort the brethren to gain as much as possible and then glorify God by giving abundantly. *

John Knox of Scotland more definitely felt himself to <be a prophet than either Calvin or Luther. He was a close student of the more violent parts of the Oid Testament and inasmuch as he suffered on various occasions, he spoke from time to time about Jezebel. When Mary Tudor was ruling England and Mary of Guise was ruling Scotland and Knox was an exile from home, he wrote out of the indignation of his heart a blast against the monstrous government of women, saying, “I am assured that it is more than a monster in nature that a woman shall reign and have empire over man. . . . Cursed Jezebel of Englnd with the pestilent and detestable generation of papists, make no little brag and boast that they have triumphed not only against Wyatt, but also against all such as have enterprised against them or their proceedings. I fear not to say that the day of vengeance, which shall apprehend that horrible monster Jezebel of England, is already appointed in the counsel of the Eternal.” a a a WHEN Mary of England died and Elizabeth came to the throne. John Knox immediately wanted to come to England, where under Edward VI, he had been active in the Angelican Church, but it happened that Elizabeth, though a Protestant, was also a woman and she looked on the Knox document as traitorous. Because of the fact that it was published in Geneva, she let Calvin know about it. He thereupon became exceedingly annoyed with what he called the thoughtless arrogance of one individual. Knox was thinking about his own feelings relative to the British and Scotch situation and not giving a thought to the peril he was causing French Protestants. One of these, a minister, wTOte to Calvin in regard to the Knox statement, ' Women are unworthy to reign; Christians may protect themselves by arms against tyrants” as follows: “I fear that Knox may fill all Scotland with his madness. He is said to have a boon companion at Geneva A whom we hear that the people at Dieppe have called to be their minister. If he be infected with such opinions, for Christ’s sake pray that he be not sent; or if he has already departed, warn the Dieppe people to beware of him.” a a a KNOX, like Luther, hated the Anabaptists fully as much as the Papists. They had a ten-

dency toward pacifism and socialism together with a belief in the natural gctodness of man and of nature. They did not believe it necessary to rely on the Scriptures as the sole objective source of religious inspiration. Doubtless j*ou and I would much prefer associating with Anabaptists to Knox and Calvin, but I am CaSvinistic enough to believe that it may have been a part of divine Providence to permit Calvinism to triumph because it had in it more driving power to conquer the new world rapidly than, would have been the case with a gentler, more humane faith. Os all the reformers, Knox seems to have been the most violent. He refers to an Anabaptist adversary as a liar, a blasphemer and a devil incarnate. Calvin furnished John Knox with many of his intellectual weapons but not with his extraordinary capacity for emotional fury. When he returned to Scotland, he preached against the idolatry of the Baptists and nowhere in all Europe were the statues of Christ, the Virgin and the Saints more completely destroyed. The Scottish mobs felt that only by destroying the symbol of the papacy could they destroy the affection of the people for a ritual in which they had once had faith.

HAYES PRAISES VETO DEFEAT Pension Restoration Saved Nation $100,000,000. Legion Head Says. Passage of the law restoring veterans' pensions saved the country $100,000,000 in special bills which would be passed during the last days of congress, Edward A. Hayes, national commander of the American Legion, declared last night. The legislation, passed over the President’s veto, merely restored $9.312,500 presumptive World war service cases, Commander Hayes declared. “The representatives and the senators are the spokesmen of the people,” Mr. Hayes declared. “Their action in overwhelmingly passing this just legislation has done other things. It is the most effective answer to the traducers of the legion and the veteran, because its decisive

After his arms were amputated Nino learned to write by wielding a pen with his teeth. He became a well known author. His book, "Obregons Place in History.” was a best seller.

CITY WOMEN REQUEST BAN ON WOODEN GUNS Cause Children to Imitate Gunmen, Council Declares. Indianapolis Council of Women meeting today at the Irvington M. E. church urged the adoption of a law prohibiting the manufacture or sale of wooden guns or pistols. The resolution asserted the use of wooden or toy weapons caused children to imitate gunmen or gangsters and had unwholesome influences on their later life. Origin of the resolution was the sensational escape of John Dillinger, public enemy No. 1. from the Crown Point jail with a wooden stick resembling a pistol. The motive force of a Mexican jumping bean is a little worm wh.rh catapults itself about inside the bean, causing it to move or jump.
