Moral Faculty as Distinguished from
Conscience, The, by Prof. Daniel J.
Noves, 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

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,

[ocr errors]

734; this notion of matter not uni- |
versally accepted, 736; no argu-
ment for God in the order merely
of the world, 736; matter not
eternal, because on that supposition
its existence is not explained, 737;
the eternity of matter inconsistent
with the order and wisdom dis-
played in its forces, 738; the fact
that life had a beginning a new
proof of the existence of God, 739;
diversity of conceptions in regard
to the nature of this argument, 739;
the independent origin of species,
739; life organizes matter, but is not
identified with it as an attribute,
741; all vital phenomena occur in
connection with chemical and me-
chanical forces, 742.
Natural Theology: Theory of Heat,
article on, by Rev. Edward W.
Morley, 652; Part I. Theory of
Heat in its Relation to Water,
652; the welfare of man very
closely connected with the agency
and laws of heat, 652; proofs of
the knowledge and goodness of
God as given by the laws of heat,
652; the boiling-point of water,
652; the freezing-point of water,
655; the high specific heat of wa-
ter, 656; the high latent heat of
water, 659; the law of the expan-
sion of water, 662; the sudden ex-
pansion of water at the moment of
becoming solid, 666; water a non-
conductor of heat, 668; the attrac-
tion of the particles of water for
each other and for atmospheric air,
669; the great latent heat of aque-
ous vapor, 670; the high radiating
power of aqueous vapor, 674; the
power of aqueous vapor to absorb
radiant heat, 675; the concurrence
of all the points that have been
stated, an independent argument
for the goodness of God, 678;
other relations of heat besides those
to water, 679; points in which
these relations indicate the infinity
of the divine attributes, 679.

Philosophy of Language, article on,
by Prof. R. L. Tatel, 209; what
is meant by the philosophy of a
thing, 209; nature of language,
not so simple as sometimes sup-
posed, 209; modern discoveries in
reference to the nature of language,
in what field they have been made,
and the reason for which these
discoveries have been so long de-
layed, 210; the knowledge of lan-
guage progressive, like that of all
other subjects, 212; modern con-
troversies in regard to the nature
of man have given importance and
direction to the study of language,
214; language, the expression of
the individual human mind, 216;
the riches of language, 217; think-
ing well, the condition of writing
well, 218; the same words may in
different circumstances be more or
less strong and expressive, 219;
language as a reflection of the hu-
man mind in general, and the
national mind in particular, 221;
language, man's own version of the
universe, 221; language, as being
the most universal of the sciences,
qualified to take the lead among
them, 222; two ways by which is
attained a knowledge of the crea-
tion of words, 223; one found in
the scriptures, 223; the other, the
dissection and comparison of dif-
ferent languages, 225; examples
illustrative of the generation of
nouns and adjectives in the Indo-
European languages, 225; lan-
guage gives great help in investi-
gating the character of a nation,
228; language, the grand expres-
sion of the national mind, 229;
languages cannot be arbitrarily
changed by individuals, 230; the
development of a language, not
chiefly due to lexicographers, 231;

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.

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 a 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.

R
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

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

some of the characteristics of other
and higher classes not yet created,

world to the structure of the in-
habitants in every age very
marked, 376; geology proves and

pleasure the rule and pain the ex-

ance of important animal func-
tions, 383; the general stability
