Calling of the plaintiff, a form in English courts of 
law of calling upon the plaintiff to appear in cases where, 
for want of sufficient evidence, he consents to be non- 
suited or to withdraw himself. Calling the plaintiff by 
the court crier was once always necessary in a trial after 
the jury had come in with the verdict, and before its an- 
nouncement. If no answer was made, the plaintiff was 
nonsuited, but could renew his action on better evidence. 
Effectual calling, in CalviniMc thenl., the calling by 
God's word and Spirit of those whom he has predestined 
unto life, out of sin and death, unto grace and salvation by 
Jesus Christ. It is so designated to distinguish it from 
that universal call which the gospel extends to all, but 
which, according to Calvinistic theology, is ineffectual 
except when accompanied by the special influences of 
God's Holy Spirit. 
Effectual calling is the work of God's Spirit, whereby, 
convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our 
minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, 
he doth persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ, 
freely offered to us in the gospel.
