The College Days of Calvin #270094

The design of this little volume is to set forth the facts in the early life of John Calvin, in a manner that may interest the youth of Sabbath-schools and Bible-classes. If imagination has lent a very slight tinge to a few passages, it has been permitted simply to give life to reality, and vividness to facts. There is no departure from the events and experiences in the student-life of the immortal reformer. The facts are presented substantially as they are given by his biographers, particularly, Dr. D'Aubigne, in his "History of the Reformation in the time of Calvin."<br><br>The "College Days" include the years when Calvin studied law and theology at Orleans, Bourges, and Paris, extending to the time when he was twenty years of age, and covering almost the entire period of his life in France. It will be followed by a volume of similar size and design, entitled "Young Calvin in Paris."<br><br>The author is persuaded that the youth of our times need to study more attentively the history of Protestantism and the lives of the Reformers, as one means of guarding them against many great evils that are threatening the true Church of Christ.
