Elathisniata [Ka^iapara, sittings) is a name which, in the early Church, according to Suicer, was applied to certain parts of holy Scripture, because, during the read- ing of them, the people sat. Other portions of Scripture were entitled araaHQ (standings), because, during the reading of them, the people stood. It was usual m the early Church for all worshippers to stand during the reading of the gospels and the singing of the psalms.
Katona, Emeric, of Abaujvar, a Hungarian Prot- estant controversialist, was born at Uifalon in 1572. He became rector of the college of Szepsi in 1593, but re- signed in 1595 to study theology at "Wittenberg and Heidelberg for two years and a half, and then returned to his country. He became successively rector of Pa- tak (in 1599), preacher at the court of George Ea- goczi, prince of Transylvania, pastor of Szepsi, Goenc- ziu, and Karextur, and died Oct. 22, 1610. He wrote De Libera Arbitrio, contra theses Andrece Saroji ; Anti- papismus ; Tractatus de Patrum, conciliontm et tradi- tionum Aitctoritate cii'ca Jidel dogmata, cult^ts idem mo- resque vivendi (Francfort, 1611, 8vo, with a Life of the author by Pareits).

Schwarz (Palest, p. 172), by a tortuous derivation through the Talmud, seeks to identify it witli Cana of Galilee.

Kautz, Jacob, an eminent German theologian) 'prominent in the Anabaptist movement of the 16th century, was born at Bockenheim, Hesse Cassel, about 1500. He was a preacher at Worms when, in 1527, he identified himself with the Denk-Hetzer movement in forming a strong opposition against infant baptism. Previously to this time, Kautz had estranged him- self from the Lutheran reformers by his anti-Trini- tarian heresies ; now he openly broke with them, and warmly welcomed the Strasburg preachers. See Ana- baptists. He published seven theses in defence of his peculiar views (corap. Arnold, Ketzerhistorie, i, 63), and for the day of Pentecost invited the Lutheran ministers to pulilic disputation. Although yet a j'ouug man, he had already obtained great celebrity as a public speaker, and no doubt took this course in order to increase the number of his followers. But the theses of Kautz were so decidedly opposed to Lutheran christology and dog- mas that the authorities interfered, incarcerated him, and finally obliged him to quit "Worms. Wandering about from place to place, we find him in July at Augs- burg, later at Rothenburg, and in 1528 finally at Stras- burg. Here he succeeded for a time in preaching his heretical doctrines, but in 1529, so great had his fanati- cal excesses become, that the city authorities felt obliged to interfere, and he was arrested and compelled to leave the city. After losing sight of him for a time, we find him in 1532 again knocking at the gates of the city of Strasburg, and vainlj' seeking admission. From this time all traces of him are lost, and neither the time nor the place of his death is known. Kautz was qiute inti- mate with Capito, the eminent coadjutor of the Reform- ers QicolampacUus and Buccr, and at one time it was even asserted by the Anabaptists that he had succeeded in winning him to their side. Capito, however, does not deserve this reproach. On the contrary, he did all in his power to restrain Kautz in his fanaticism.

Kay, .James, a Unitarian minister, was born at Heap Fold, in Lancashire, England, June 21, 1777, and was reared in the Church of England. At the age of seven- teen, however, he became a dissenter, and at once pre- pared for the ministry. In 1799 he was settled over a Calvinistic congregation in Kendal, Westmoreland, but he resigned this charge in 1810, and, with about one third of his congregation, joined the Unitarians, and two years later became pastor of a Unitarian church at Hindley, Lancashire. In 1821 he emigrated to this country, but never again took active work. He died Sept. 22, 1817, at Trout Run, I'a. " He fell asleep with the accents of a devout faith on his lips, and, we doubt not, with the trustful spirit of a disciple in his heart." — Christian Examiner, 1848, p. 157.
Kaye, John (1), D.D., an English divine, was bom at Hammersmith, London, in 1783, and was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge (graduated in 1804 with high honor and distinction). In 1814 he was elected master of his college, and afterwards filled the ofiice of vice-chancellor. In 1816 he was chosen regius pro- fessor of divinity, and in 1820 became bishop of Bristol; was translated to Lincoln in 1827, and died in 1853. Be- sides his professional labors, Kaye did a great deal of literary work. Many of his writings are of special value. Characterized as they are bj' clearness and precision, by accuracy and fairness, combined with the necessary flexibihty, no thinking mind can fail to be enriched by them. Ilis principal writings are : The Ecdedasticnl Ilistonj of the 2d and 3(1 Centuries, illustrated from the Writings of Tertullian (Camb. 2d ed. 1826, 8vo ; 3d ed. 1845): — SonK Account of the Writings and Opinions of Justin Martyr (Lond. 2d ed. 1836, 8vo; 3d ed. 1853) :— A Charge delivered at the primary Visitation in 1828
