Moral Faculty as Distinguished from
Conscience, The, by Prof. Daniel J.
Noyes, 401; the word "conscience"
difficult of satisfactory explanation,
401; practical evil, occasioned by
this circumstance, 402; the ques-
tion, how this evil may be avoided,
402; the phrase "moral faculty,"
to be used sometimes in the place
of conscience, 403; definition of
moral faculty, 404; the perception
of right and wrong in character,
the distinguishing office of the
moral faculty, 404; the moral fac-
ulty attends exclusively to acts
and states of the will, 404; the
general law of the moral faculty,
or the mode of its operation in
connection with other mental fac-
ulties, 405; a diversity in the judg-
ments of the conscience, 408; ex-
amples from the conduct of the
Hindus and the Spartans, 409;
the decisions of the moral faculty,
absolutely correct, 410; analysis
of the mental process in our judg-
ment of ourselves, 413; the fault
in our erroneous judgments in the
will, 413; the approbation of the
moral faculty not a conclusive
proof that the will is in a right
state, 415; the utility of the moral
faculty, 417; does the moral fac-
ulty endorse the decisions of the
understanding? 418; an action
naturally wrong, not sinful when
required by the moral faculty, 419;
a person morally bound to do
what his judgment decides is best,
421; the case of Saul of Tarsus,
422; the moral faculty cannot be
directly improved or injured, 423;
the faculties closely related to the

moral faculty may be improved,
425; importance of correct and
well-established principles of action,
426; mode of securing permanent
peace of the moral faculty, 427.

Natural Theology of Social Science,
The, article on, by Prof. John Bas-
com, 722; simplicity of the argu-
ment for the existence of God,
722; universality of the ideas which
lead to the existence of God, 722;
the first of these, the idea of cause
and effect and of the infinite, 722;
a cause in one relation, an effect
in another, 723; the cause only
equal to the effect, 724; the simple
notion of cause and effect cannot
raise us above the steady flow of
natural forces, 725; in reasoning
from a finite effect to an infinite
cause, or to God, infinitely more
given to the effect than properly
belongs to it, 725; the weakness
of the argument from cause and
effect seen in the language which
it employs, 726; this language im-
plies a fatal degradation of God,
727; the only safe form of argu-
ment for the existence of God, 728;
explanation arises from some idea
native to the mind, 728; the idea
of the Infinite, the Almighty, one
in which the mind rests, 729; this
idea alone furnishes an explanation
of the universe, 730, difference
between the notion of the Infinite
and that of a simple cause, 730;
the notion of the Infinite intuitive,
731; no comprehension of the uni-
verse without this notion of the
Infinite, 732; the most simple pro-
cesses of mind sometimes the oc-
casion of the most perplexity, 732;
the manner in which matter is con-
ceived of has much to do with the
directness with which it leads to a
belief in God, 734; matter cannot
be permanent without a constant
renewing of the force that is in it,

two particulars to be considered
in the external form of language,
its pronunciation and its orthog-
raphy, 232; the task of reducing
nations into races left to language,
233; the Indo-European languages
an organic whole, and the nations
speaking them a distinct race, 234;
each race a particular type of
man, and passes through stages
analagous to those of man, 234;
the Sanscrit the oldest language
of the Indo-European group, 234;
language in its full manhood dis-
tinguished by a noble simplicity,
236; characteristics of different
modern languages, 236.

Province of Imagination in Sacred

Oratory, The, article on, by Prof.
Joseph Haven, 95; statement of
the subject and definition of imagi-
nation, 95; objections to the use of
the imagination in the pulpit, 96;
the ideal and the real not neces-
sarily at variance, 96; the use of
the imagination does not necessa-
rily lead to fanciful and redun-
dant style, 97; advantages of the
use of the imagination, 98; neces-
sary to the higher and bolder
flights of oratory, 98; necessary
to a clear and vivid description of
absent objects, 100; necessary to
the clear and forcible statement
of truth, 102; illustrative quota-
tions from Bushnell, Post, South,
and others, 102; imagination nec-
essary to a right apprehension of
many of the noblest themes, 108;
our biblical interpreters lacking
in the ideal element, 109; the
theologian apt to be lacking in the
same way, 111; the character of
the present times requires the use
of the imagination, 112.

Relations of Geology to Theology,
The, article on, by Prof. C. H.
Hitchcock, 363; object of the arti-

cle, 363; geology furnishes peculiar
arguments for the existence of God,
364; the existence of inorganic
matter a proof of a Creator, 365;
matter does not exist of necessity,
365; nor without chemical and
physical laws, 366; an eternal
succession of worlds and systems
incredible, 366; paleontological
arguments from the institution of
the animal and vegetable king-
doms in nature, 367; the succes-
sion of systems of life proves a
Creator, 368; the creation of man
a divine work, 368; development
of man from the ape by principles
of natural selection impossible,
369; Darwinism and the develop-
ment theory not tenable, 370; no
germs and tendencies in matter to
produce organism, 372; arguments
from design, 373; all organisms
from the first constructed on the
same general uniform plan, 375;
development of one organism from
another not tenable, 375; parallel-
ism between the geological succes-
sion of animals and plants and
their relative standing in classifi-
cation, 375; combination in the
fossil animals with their own of
some of the characteristics of other
and higher classes not yet created,
376; adaptations of the physical
world to the structure of the in-
habitants in every age very
marked, 376; geology proves and
illustrates the natural and moral
attributes of God, 377; objection
from natural evil in the pre-
Adamic world to the benevolence
of God, pain and death, 377;
extremes of climate, deserts, de-
formity, and absence of beauty,
380; earthquakes, 381; proofs
of the benevolence, of God, 382;
pleasure the rule and pain the ex-
ception in the lives of all the early
races, 382; the production of
happiness an incidental design of
every bodily contrivance, even
when not necessary to their per-
fect action, 382; a variety of
means provided for the perform-
ance of important animal func-
tions, 383; the general stability

and security of the present system,
a proof of the divine benevolence,
387; force given by geology to the
argument for the inspiration of
the Bible, 429; confirms the nar-
rative of the creation, etc., as given
in the first eight chapters of Gen-
esis, 429; geology confirms bibli-
cal statements as to the antiquity
of the earth, the order of cre-
ation, and the time of the intro-
duction of man, 436; the accounts
of the work of creation given by
nature and revelation harmonious,
450; the antiquity of man, 451;
relics of man found in connection
with the bones of animals extinct
before the time of written history,
453; the introduction of man more
than six thousand years ago, yet
to be proved, 457; agencies often
act with variable intensity, 460;
opinions as to the Noahchian del-
uge very conflicting, 462; this
deluge does not correspond to the
drift period of geologists, 462; the
deluge of Noah not co-extensive
with the earth's surface, 463; de-
struction of the cities of the plain,
469; the future condition of the
earth 471; the earth has in itself
the agencies necessary to its desola-
tion by fire, 472; geology illustrates
God's providence, 475; geology
illustrates the fall of man, 478;
the world equally adapted to man
whether he fall or not, and the
world intended to be a theatre for
the work of redemption, 478.

by Prof. E. P. Barrows, 593; the

tion against the possibility of the

the assumption against the neces-
sity of the supernatural, 623.

Second Advent and the Creeds of
Christendom, The, article on, by
J. A. Brown, D.D., 629; creeds
and confessions, entitled to great
respect, 629; the doctrine of the
second advent, to be compared
with the creeds of the church, 629;
doctrines on which Millenarians
are agreed, 630; creeds divisible
into two periods, from the third to
the seventh century and the period
connected with the Reformation,
632; comparison with the Apostles'
Creed, 632; the Nicene Creed, 633;
the Athanasian Creed, 634; results
of this comparison, 634; Millena-
rianism derives no support from
these creeds, 634; comparison with
other creeds of this period, as that
of Irenaeus, Tertullian, Augustine,
and others, with the same result,
635; no evidence given by the
apostolic Fathers in favor of Mil-
lenarianism, 637; Millenarianism
by no means a part of the general
