of the latter science, seems to have prodnoed at ^ time no effect but that of extinguishing even the seoM of the necessity of presenting it in a form SnibeBtisl upon the Christian life." The very titles of his writ- ings and those of his opponents would fill pages. Hii liberal views were styled Crypto-Papism, Philippism, Crypto-Calvinism, ^belism, and many oth«r hard names, ending with Atheism. Especially after the Colloquy of Thorn, 1645, where he showed a strong disposition to compromise all minor difibrencee in or- der to bring about a reunion of«Lutfaerans, Refonned, and Romanists, the opposition of the hi^ orthodox party to him and to the Helmst&dt theologians, wht were more or less imbued with his Syncretism, ia* creased. See Thorit, Colloquy of. His foUowen were known both as JSgncretists and Calixtmes, Tht chief objection brought against him by the inore caD> did of his opponents was that he maintained, 1. ThM the ftmdamental doctrines of Christianity, by whiek he meant those elementary principles whence all its truths flow, were preserved pure in all three oommnn- ions (Romish, Lutheran, and Calvinistic), and wen contained in that ancient form of doctrine known bf the name of the Apostles' Creed. 2. That the tenets and opiaioBa which had been constantly received by the ancient doctors during tiie first fire centuries wen to be considered as of equal truth and antbor^ with the express declarations and doctrines of Seriptnre. 8. That the churches which received these points, nd "held the additional tenets of the particular chnrchei as non-essential, should at once come into peacefhl re- lations, and tiius pave the way for a future union of the churches." His opponents were legion, but tlie most bitter and persevering was Calovins (q. r.). Cs- lixtus died March 19, 1656. A fhll list of his writings is given in his Consukatio de tolercmtia Hejormalonm (Helm^ 1697, 4to). An account of Calixtoa, from the Puseyite stand-point, is given in the Christian Remem^ hraneer, 1855, art i. See also Gass, Georg Cd&aSt «. i.

Call (usually K^^, hara', icoXiio, both which words evidently contain the same root as their EngL equiva- lent) signifies (besides its use in giving a name), I. To cry to another for help, and hence to pray. The first passage in which we meet with tliis phrase is in Gene- sis ivf 26, *^ Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord" (him DDS K^H?!? bn^H T«, Sept and Vulg. understand the first word as a pronoun referring to Enos, ovTOQ iifKiriatv iwixaXuabai rh 6vofia rov Stov, iste eapU moocare nomen Domim), a phrase that has been understood by some as meaning that Jehovah's worshippers were then called by Ss name, but erro- neously (comp. Gen. xii, 8; Psa. Ixxix, 6; cv, 1 ; Isa. Ixiv, 6; Jer. x, 25; Zeph. iii, 9). In both the Old and New Test, to call upon the name of the Lord im- ports invoking the true God in prayer, with a confes- sion that He is Jehovah ; that is, with an acknowledg- ment of his essential and incommunicable attributes. In this view the phrase is applied to the worship of Christ (Acts ii, 21; vil,59; ix,14; Rom. x, 12; ICor. i, 2). See Worship.
