ligion, the only sufficient basis of
the State, 727; the connection be-
tween religion and the welfare of
the State shown on philosophical
principles, 728; proved from facts,
730; our own country no excep-

this country, that of the Bible, 733;
hence the Bible should be taught

of the Bible necessary to secure the

by the Romanist, 737; Protestant
countries superior to Roman Cath-
olic countries, 738; the objection
from conscience, to the use of the
Bible in schools, 740; the duty of
the State to maintain its religion
does not involve the right of perse-
cution, 741.

Demands of Infidelity satisfied by
Christianity, the, article on, by
Samuel Harris, D. D., 272: the
true relation of Christianity to hea-
thenism, 272; Christianity sustains
the same relation to infidelity, 273;
Christianity satisfies all the de-
mands of infidelity, 275; it satisfies
the demand of the human mind for
an established law, order, or course
of nature, 275; it discloses the true
comprehensiveness of that order of
things, in which the unity of the
universe is found, 278; it recog-
nizes those elements essential to the
very idea of a plan, efficient and

final causes, 280; Christianity satis-
fies the demand of infidelity for a
religion that shall fit man for this
life and this world, 284; faith in
God necessary to human perfection,
285; Christianity a system of faith
and redemption, and not one of hu-
man sufficiency and morality, 288;
Christianity satisfies the demand of
the mind for a religion of progress,
290; man to be considered either
as an individual, or as a part of an
organization, 291; the recognition
of man's individuality must precede
the recognition of his organic rela-
tions, 292; Christianity thus recog-
nizes man, 292; it then proceeds
to the organic, 295; the doctrines
of Christianity, the elements of hu-
man liberty and progress, 296;
proved from history, 296; espec-
ially in the case of Protestant Chris-
tianity, 297; and more especially,
of Protestantism in New England,
299; Protestantism, a perpetual
exposure of the incapacity of infi-
delity, 302; Protestantism, unjustly
blamed as a failure, 303; yet the
charge, in some measure, true, 304;
Christianity satisfies the demand of
the human mind for æsthetic emo-
tion and culture, 306; the nature
of Christianity, at first in seeming
antagonism to the culture of the
beautiful, 309; the work imposed
by Christianity is always to realize
a perfect ideal, 309; in its doctrine
and spirit it possesses the essential
element of the aesthetic nature, 310.
Demonstration of the Divine Existence,
article on, by Rev. Daniel P. Noyes,
388: miraculousness involved in
the very idea of existence, 388;
something really existent, 389;
something always has existed, 390 ;
an original and eternal Power,
and all things either embraced
within this, or spring from it, 390;
this original Power not dependent
on any other power, 391; this Power
not limited, 392; it is infinite in
kinds and directions, and absolute
in each kind and direction, 393; it
is infinite in extent or space, that is,
is omnipresent, 395; this Power
cannot be supposed to have the in-

tensity and energy of its action |
continually lessened, 395; this
original Power must be supposed
to be unlimited, 396; this original
Power, immutable, 397; it is al-
ways active, 397; it must be always
active, whether it be material or
spiritual, 398; it must always be
active outwardly, 398; this eter-
nal Power is one, 400; it is one,
whether physical or spiritual, 400;
it is not divided in time, 400; nor
in space, 401; nor in kind, 401; the
universe, not an endless flux, 402;
not an infinite series, 402; this
eternal Power is spiritual and per-
sonal, 406; this original Power in-
volves and contains all finite pow-
ers, 407; two modes in which, if a
purely natural power, it may be
supposed to contain all finite
powers, each finite power being
supposed to be a real entity, 407;
or being supposed to be an eternal
tendency, 408; or the original
Power may be supposed to be spir-
itual, and so containing all finite
powers, each considered either as a
specific reality or as an idea-decree,
408; argument to prove the spirit-
uality of this original Power, 412;
the universe contains finite natural
powers, 412; the universe contains
finite spiritual powers, 413; that
which is material cannot become
personal, 414; the original Power
must have been at least partly spir-
itual and personal, 415; it must
have been, if partly personal, domi-
nantly personal, 416; it is the es-
sential nature of spiritual powers to
use those which are material, 416;
it is the nature of matter to be used
by spirit, 417; and the two can-
not be conceived as existing to-
gether except in this relation, 417;
the personal is that which alone is
power, 418; the original element
of the materialist, cannot be, prop-
erly, either one or original, 420;
the one original of the materialist
not even an ocean of one pure ele-
ment; it is many elements, at least
two, 423; the unity of the materi-
alist, while a natural power, cannot
be matter, 425; what is the origi-
VOL. XIII. No. 52.

76

inal position of this power? 426;
the beginning cannot be found in
that which is merely natural and
under the law of cause and effect,
428; no power which is one, can
be omnipresent, except it be spirit-
ual, 430; no absolute beginning
conceivable, except in will, 430;
no true unity that is not personal,
432; all natural forces, divisible,
432; every person must be con-
ceived of as absolutely one, 433;
no conceivable original for the uni-
verse, save a personal author, 434;
the existence of God, not so diffi-
cult to account for, as the existence
of a universe without God, 435.

Figurative Language of the Scriptures,
article on, by Rev. Edward Robie,
314 distinction between the figu-
rative and the literal use of words,
314; the great majority of words,
in all languages, figurative, 315;
the Bible abounds in the use of
figurative language, 316; exam-
ples of this use in the Bible, 317;
principles to be used in the inter-
pretation of the figurative language
of the Bible, 318; acquaintance
with the sources from which the
figures used in Scripture are drawn,
318; no necessity of a change of
figurative language into literal
terms, 319; the cultivation of the
imagination an important aid, 321;
a recognition of the inadequacy of
figures of speech fully to express
spiritual truth, 322.

Imprecatory Psalms, the, article on, by
John J. Owen, D. D., 551: these
psalms,seized upon by the enemies of
the Bible, as a strong argument
against its divinity, 552; they have
occasioned trouble to good men,
552; they cannot be considered as
mere predictions, 552; they can-
not be satisfactorily explained by
applying a peculiar theory of in-
spiration, 554 ; no theory, on which
they can be explained, short of
plenary inspiration, 555; the con-
sonance of the state of mind mani-
fested in these psalms with the
spirit of charity, as described
in the New Testament, 556; the
righteous will hereafter look
with approbation on the suffer-
ings of the lost, 556; such ap-
probation expressed in various
parts of the New Testament, 557;
some of these psalms, Messianic,
and may be properly regarded as
the language of the Messiah, 560;
the forms of expression in these
psalms, not so cold-blooded as to
preclude the idea of their author's
being inspired, 561; that they some-
times include the families of the
wicked, not a conclusive objection,

562.
