Cunlganda, wife of Henry of Bavaria, who aftei^ wards became emperor. She was crowned with her husband by pope Benedict VIII, A.D. 1014. Accord- ing to the Roman Acta of the Sainta, she had made a vow of virginity, and her husband suspecting her fi^l. ity, she "walked over red-hot ploughshares witboot being hurt, * ' and thus vindicated her innocence ! She died March 3, 1040, and was canonized in 1200 bv In- nocent III. The Romish legends tell of numy mira- cles wrought at her tomb.— Butler, Zarcs of'Smmta. March 8.

Cunningham, D.D., Rev. William, an embMot minister of the Free Church of Scotland, was bora in October, 1806, and was fuUy identified with all the movements and controversies which led to the disEnn- tion of the Church of Scotland. He received al the hands of the Free Church all the honors in then- gift, and was moderator of the Aasembly in 1859. At the time of his death he was principal of the college of the Free Church of Scotland. After the disruptkn he visited America, where his eloquence and intd- lectual power enabled him to enlist the sympathies of a lai^e portion of the churches, and to secure an

amount of material aid at that time greatly needed by the Free Church. He died at liis house in Edinborgh, Scotland, December 14, 1861. His principal writings -vrere collected after his death by his literary execu- tors, as follows, viz., T%e Reformers, and the Theology of the RefomuOion (Edinb. 1862, 8yo) ; Ditaunont of <7Aurch PrindpleM (Edinb. 1868, Svo) ; Historical Theoi- agy (^dinb. 1864, 2 vols. 8vo). The first two works consist chiefly of Dr. Cnnningliam's Review articles ; the last, of liis lectures in the Free Church College. Xhey manifest large learning, great grasp of theolog- ical "^science, both historical and doctrinal, and a thor- oughly evangelical spirit. In regard to Church gov- ernment, Dr. Cunningham was a Presbyterian, '* be- lieving that Christ lias committed the, government of his Church, not to congregations, nor to prelatic bishops, bot to presbyters or elders, otherwise called bishops. But, above all, he was a Calvinist, main- taining that man is by nature helplessly lost, and is and can be saved only by the free and sovereign love of God, giving salvation to whom he will, in what manner he will, because he wills it. He will be recog- nised in history, not as a Free Churchman, nor as a Presbyterian, but as a great Calvinist, occupying a place in Iiis generation such as Calvin and Turre- tine occupied in theirs. The Calvinistic system Dr. Cunningham holds not provisionally, as a half-way house to some more comprehensive system tn poMe, * looming in the ftiture,* but definitely, as what has been ascertained to be M« system revealed in GfMi's TVord, Me ondy possible exhibition of all the Scripture &cts regarding God and man, the only scriptural de- scription of what God actually is, and has done, and is doing, in his relation to rational creatures, and special- ly in order to man*s salvation. He therefore immova- bly rests in the conviction that no new discovery can be made in theology ; that any pretended novelty is either Calvinism under a new form, or some of the old errors in disg^uise which have been advanced against Calvinism, and which, cu opposed to Calvinism, are, ip90 facto, shown to involve a lie." — Brit, and For.
