variation to be discussed, 348; discussion to be confined to plants, 349; are there any contrivances or variations of form in plants not required for the plant itself, 350; the question answered in reference to several plants, 350; the idea of beauty most prominent in certain plants, 352; that of utility of fruit in others, 352; plants divisible into two classes with reference to these ideas, 352; some plants show in themselves the change which cultivation will produce, 353; plants that have lost the power of producing seed can be propagated by slips, 353; variation most com- mon in those plants which are most useful for cultivation, 353; variation in plants to be primarily referred to the good of the plant itself, 355; the theory that the machinery of fruiting is for the continuance of the species alone has much in its favor, 355; yet there is a higher and a nobler pur- pose, 356; no reference to the welfare of the plant in the provision made for the increase of the beauty of the flower by doubling, 358; the
for plant-variation found mainly in the wants of man as a phys- ical and an intellectual being,358; it presents conditions to man for con- tinual progress, 358; the develop- ment-theory, to what extent has it an atheistic tendency, 359; the scientific discussion of the origin of plants and animals on our earth one as to facts, 361.

Genuineness of the Fourth Gospel,
The, article on, by Prof. George P. Fisher, 225; importance of this Gospel and the question of its genuineness, 225; nature of the assault on the genuineness of this Gospel by the Tübingen school, 226; summary of the arguments
of its defenders to be presented, 227; sketch of the latter part of John's life, 227; the external evi- dence of the genuineness of his Gospel, 228; appeal by Mayer to Jerome and Eusebius, 228; testi- mony of Tertullian, Clement, and Irenaeus, 229; that of Tatian, 232; that of Justin Martyr, 234; the question whether Justin quotes from other Gospel histories than those in our canon, 235; Justin's evidence unimpeachable, 236; testimony of Papias, 238; this genuineness tac- itly or expressly acknowledged by heretics, 239; by the Artemonites, 239; by Marcion, 240; Valentinus, 242; the controversies connected with Montanism, 245; morally im- possible to discredit the tradition of the early church, 247; the evi- dence of tradition as to matters of fact, when conclusive, 247; very long periods covered sometimes by traditional testimony, 248; tradi- tional testimony specially strong in the early Christian church, 249; the number of the carly Christian churches, 249; the difficulty of discrediting this traditional testi- mony very obvious, 250; the early Christians not indifferent in regard to their scriptures, 252; the inter- nal evidence of the genuineness of John's Gospel, 253; the manner of the claim of this Gospel to be the work of John a testimony to its truth, 253; this testimony con- firmed by the graphic character of the narrative and other indications of the author's immediate knowl- edge of what he relates, 255; the account of the calling of the disci- ples, 256; of the last supper, 256; of the resurrection,258; the gen- eral structure and contents of the Gospel as a biography of Christ a proof of its genuineness, 260; the differences between John's Gospel and the synoptical Gospels very palpable, 261; these differences rather a proof of the genuineness than otherwise, 262; particular discrepancies-journeys of Christ to Jerusalem, 263; the date of the crucifixion, 265; the paschal con-
troversies of the second century, 267; the discourses of Christ in the fourth Gospel, 269; the contrast between these and those found in the other Gospels not such that they could not have proceeded from the same person, 270; proof in the synoptical Gospels that the fourth Gospel does not depart in Christ's discourses from historical truth, 270; no objection that the discourses of Christ in the Gospel are similar in style to John's Epis- tles, 271; falsehood of the assertion that these discourses were written by another and put into Christ's mouth, 272; the Hellenic culture and the theological point of view of the author of the fourth Gospel not an objection, 273; the author of the Gospel a Jew, 273; a Gal- lilean fisherman, like John, could not have had much Hellenic cul- ture, 275; the type of doctrine in the fourth Gospel, and especially its Christology, do not prove that its author was not a Jew, 275; the free and liberal spirit of the Gos- pel no proof that its author was not a Jew, 276; the Apocalypse and the fourth Gospel may have come from the same author, 277; the impossibility of this variety of authorship not established, 278; if it could be it would not show that John did not write the fourth Gospel, 280; proof of the genuine- ness of this Gospel in the last chap- ter, 281; the Tübingen critics obliged to give up their mythical theory when they treat of the
tion between God's purposes and his law, 841; his moral government in relation to the atonement, 842; importance of the distinction between the purposes and the law of God, 845; it helps to harmonize some apparently discrepant repre- sentatious of scripture, in which it is declared, on the one hand that God's purposes are accomplished, and on the other, are not, 845; various methods of solving this contradiction, 846; is best solved by the distinction between the purposes and laws of God, 847; this distinction vindicates the sin- cerity of God, 847; all compari- sons drawn from merely earthly relations insufficient, 849; this distinction would heal many dis- putes among evangelical Chris- tians, 850; it is important in order that we may have the most exalted conceptions of God, 852.
