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

cause

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.

when it is a mere object and when
it is a truth, 694; division of reason-
ings into mediate and immediate
very important, but often over-
looked, 695; the principle of iden-
tity varied in its application by the
particular object to which it is
applied, 696; enumeration of the
forms of universal quality, 697;
the Noetic whole, 697; the math-
ematical, 698; the substantial,
698; the causal, 698; necessity of
the causal whole essential to a
perfect logical system, 700; logic
of no utility except as applicable
to objective being, 701; in the
application of the logical principle
to actual induction in matters of
experience the same difficulties
to be encountered as in deduction,
703; the form of development
which logic must assume, 704;
logic a pure science developed
from necessary principles by nec-
essary methods 705; discursive
logic, the science of thought 705;
the faculty of thought, an identi-
fying faculty, 705; the identifying
faculty deals only with wholes,
706; logic should develop itself
in the two directions of substance
and cause, 707; should recognize
the distinction of reasoning into
mediate and immediate, 707; the
distinction between mere objects
and mere truths, 707; logic should
settle the doctrine of modality,
707; should perfect its doctrine
of methodology, 708.

New Analytic of Logical Forms, The,
article on, by Prof. Henry N. Day,
673; importance of logic, 673;
claim of logic to be the science of
thought, 674; Hamilton's labors in
logic, 675; brief statement of his
improvements, 676; his improve-
ments of great value, 676; his
lectures strangely immature, 677;
all claimed improvement in logical
notion, to be disregarded, 677;
Hamilton, though a renovator, yet
a true conservative, 678; value of
the truth, that we are to state ex-
plicitly what is thought implicitly,
678; all the laws of syllogism,
reduced to a single canon, 679;
Hamilton has not left in his works
an actual abrogation of all the
special laws of syllogism, 680; a
proposition always an equation of
its subject and its predicate, 681;
the doctrine of the two correlative
and counter qualities in the syllo-
gism, 682; Hamilton, not the orig-
inator of this distinction 682; a
new form given by this doctrine
to the whole development of logic,
683; Hamilton's logical labors
suggestive rather than exhaustive,
684; what form the final results
of his labors will give to logic,
684; logic will be limited to the
formal laws of thought, 648; logic
conversant with the arts of the
discursive faculty, 687; the na-
ture of this faculty, 687; this view
of its nature confirmed by the
expositions of psychologists, 689;
all judgment, but an identifying
act, 690; the judgment the essen-
tial element of logical science, 691; Owen, Prof. J.J., article by, 362.
reasoning but a derived judgment,
692; the science of logic founded
on the one principle of identity,
692; a system of logic, therefore,
should determine the compass and
control of this principle, 693; the
application of this principle pre-
sents a threefold aspect, 693; the
great mistake of logicians in over-
looking the distinction between
the verbal statement of the subject

Palestine and the Desert, Past and
Present, article on, by Lyman
Coleman, D.D., 752; Palestine,
represented in the Bible as a land
of exuberant fertility, 752; every
element of fertility, ascribed to
the land, 752; this seems to be in
striking contrast with the present
aspect of the land, 753; forests

have much to do with fertility,
755;
the desert and the peninsula
once more densely inhabited, 757;
various proofs of former fertility
and populousness from the Bible
and from travellers, 759; the
change in Palestine not greater
than in other lands under similar
circumstances, 763; the African |
shores, 763; the islands of the sea,
704; Spain and France, 704; the
effect of the influences which
make a country barren of the
sources of supply of water, 767;
quotation from Gibbon in regard
to change of temperature in Ger-
many, 772; this process of deteri-
oration, going on in all the East,
777; agency of forests in collect-
ing moisture, 778; furnish in their
leaves a boundless evaporating
surface, 779; destruction of for-
ests must therefore make a coun-
try barren, 781; the humidity of
the atmosphere depends on the
forests of a country, 784; changes
in the productions of Palestine, as
showing a change of soil and cli-
mate, 782.

many difficulties, 167; the question
whether the serpent was a true
serpent,167; the serpent speaking
with the woman, a great difficulty,

Wesley, Charles, and Methodist
Hymns, article on, by Rev. Fred-
eric M. Bird, 127; Wesley, the
most prolific of hymnists, compar-
atively unknown, 127; the Wes-
leyan hymns quite inaccessible to
ordinary readers, 128; the sub-

ively methodistical, 313; they are

tarianism and bigotry of other
