Excerpt from John Knox: The Reformer Biographies are dull. So is much of history, cyclopedia, and lexicon. The difference is in the method. This book Was started by two sentiments, - one spoken at the grave of Knox by Earl Morton; the other attributed to Knox, which I can not verify. Both will appear toward the end of this Volume. The task of Knox was the most difficult of the famous Reformers, and completest done. Icono clast, of necessity; but chiefly Reformer.

Excerpt from John Knox It may be well thus to represent to ourselves what must have been the outlook into the Western Church Of Major, or of any one who looked through Major's eyes, in that year 1523. But I think it very unlikely that Knox could have derived from such an outlook, or from Major in any aspect, a serious impulse to his career as Reformer. Knox no doubt learned from him scholastic logic, and turned it in later days with much vigour to his own purposes. Major, too, may have unconsciously revealed to his pupils with how much hope the former generation had looked forward to a council. We find afterwards that Knox and his friends, like Luther in his earlier stages, when appealing against the hierarchy, sometimes appealed to a General Council. But neither side re garded this as serious. It would have been more im portant if we could have shown that Major transmitted to his pupil the opposition maintained for centuries by his university to an ultramontane Pontifi' as the hereditary opponent Of all Church freedom and all Church reform. But Luther and the German Reformers had already exaggerated this view, so far as to suggest that the usurping Chief Of the Church must be the scriptural Antichrist. And their views, brought direct to Scot land by men like Hamilton, had, as we have seen, immensely increased the reaction in the mind of Major, which was begun abroad before 1518. It is, indeed.

Excerpt from Memorial of the Rev. John Knox, D.D ON Tuesday of last week, (january the Rev. Dr. Knox who had been engaged in pastoral visitations, on reaching home in the after part of the day, passed out Upon the back piazza of his house, which is inclosed with swinging blinds, reaching nearly to the oor; and in some way unknown, he was precipitated from an open lattice into the yard, a distance of five or six feet. He struck with his head upon the agging, and was taken up insensible, indicating that a severe concus sion of the brain, if not a fracture of the skull, had taken place. The report of the melancholy casualty spread, as sad news al ways does, with great rapidity, and the utmost anxiety was felt in this city and elsewhere to learn what the result of the injury would prove to be. The worst apprehensions were soon realized. In spite of medical skill and the tenderest watchfulness of Christian friendship, Dr. Knox lay until Friday afternoon last in the thrall of approaching death. From the time of his sudden fall, up to the moment of death, he gave but little evidence of consciousness. When first placed in bed, he answered two or three questions intelligently, and was heard in gentle and broken words to say, Jesus, have mercy on me but very soon he seemed to hear no sound the accustomed voice of loved ones who surrounded him brought back from his lips no response. In the grand and solemn intercourse of his soul with God, he found no place nor ability to talk with friends.
