A year berme, Seotchmen will be invited to belelirate the terceetenary of 'Taint Knox's birth. Knox was the Luther of his country. Although in SOME) respects a less man than the German -reformer, he had no small share of Luther's audacity, some- thing of his genial disposition, and a great degree of his power of in- fluencing the most different classes of men. He was one of the rare !beings who by force of character, oven •more than by vigor of intellect, stamp lasting impressions on the mind of the age. When he. came, the mass of people were ignorant of everything save the superstitions of their Church, and the countiy scarcely dierdayed the germ of its present high standard of education and prosp&rity. A vaster change can be presented by the his- tory of few uationa, and in no sinall degree it has been produced by the efforts of ecclesiastical statesmen like Knox.° -They saw the necessity of educating the whole people, and the refereenter drew out a magnificent scheme. In parte the property of the Churela was to be devoted to the purpose of giseing the clergy a decent lnaiatearance. Butthe abolition oof the rich bisherecics, and the richer monasteries, ,would leave a large sur- plus fund and. with Ott fund Knox contemplated the ,establishment, not only of a good school inevery parish, but of a university in each town, so that .the -poorest youth might be able to gain the highest secular instruction. The plan was sadly shorn of ite.greatness by some of the nobles, whe loved the Kiirk lands far more .aidently than they loved the Kirk- .or the -people, and who had fought for their own land when they put sdown the celebration of the mass. Nevertheless, the wise scheme was partially executed, and it is a -mem truism to say that Soot-. land :owes much of her success to parish scilaools. Hardly less con- spicuous is the debt she owes to that peculiar eystera Of ecclesiastical poli- ty fashioned oy Knox and his succes- sors. Altbeihh perhaps unsuitable for England, it has given an admir- able educatior al training to Scotch people, by enabling them to take part in the government of their owta-Church, and by furn Mug them with constant stimulus of logical dtscouree an catechism ariA sernion. Knox might still be profitably taken as a model. by a large part of the Serstrciehealergy.
