566; still it is proper to judge of
slavery from its laws, 566; the
slave code not a dead letter, 566;
all organic arrangements must be
either normal arrangements or
abuse, 569; normal institutions in
harmony with the circumstances of
the race, 569; an abuse, at war
with the constitution and circum-
stances of man, 570; is slavery an
abuse? 573; attitude of the Bible
in regard to slavery, 574; He-
brew servitude did not have its or-
igin in any divine ordinance, 575;
its regulations as to divorce, 576;
as to bigamy, 577; the New Tes-
tament does not sanction Greek
and Roman slavery, 580; as to
Hebrew servants, 581; as to ser-
vants of a foreign origin, 582; kill-
ing a servant, 583; Hebrew ser-
vants had all privileges enjoyed by
freemen, 584; American slavery
argrees with Greek and Roman
slavery, 586; the latter not sanc-
tioned by the New Testament,
587; no word designed to regulate
Greek and Roman slavery, 587;
believing masters, 589; domestic
relations, 591; Christ abolished
polygamy but not slavery, 592; the
case of Onesimus, 594; the intrin-
sic character of American slavery,
as compared with God's word,
586; distinctions of race unscrip-
tural, 596; property in man, 597;
supremacy of masters over the do-
mestic relations of slaves, 599;

Christ Preaching to the Spirits in
Prison, article on, by Rev. James
B. Miles. 1; this passage, of all, the
most difficult of satisfactory inter-
pretation, 1; quotations from Lu-
ther, Leighton, and Brown as to its
difficulty, 2; what are the precise
words of the passage in question ?

3; important explanation which
the passage has received, 6; the
language found, in the apostles'
creed, 6 statements as to this by
Pearson in the Expositions of the
creed, 6; history of the doctrine
of Christ's descent into hell, 7;
this doctrine not tenable, 12; its
want of agreement with the gen-
eral scope of the teachings of Chris-
tianity on the subject, 12; Peter
not to be supposed to accommodate
his language to a vulgar error, 12;
the notion of a subterranean man-
sion for departed spirits, common
before the time of Christ. 12; this
notion not countenanced in the
New Testament, 13; views of Ols-
hausen and Trench, 15; of Fair-
bairn and Huidekoper, 16; para-
dise and hades distinct, 17; teach-
ings of the early Christians on this
point, 19; the language of Peter
not that of accommodation to a
vulgar error, 21; a second inter-
pretation, that which regards the
spirits in prison as sinful men,
righteously condemned the slaves
of Satan, 22; a third interpretation,
that which makes "quickened in
spirit" signify that Christ was filled
with the Spirit in consequence of
his penal sufferings. 24; the pas
sage implies that the Spirit of Christ
at the moment of the death of the
body, passed into the spirit-world,
25; what was done by the Spirit
of Christ in this paradise, 27; in
what sense did Christ preach to
these wicked spirits in the prison
of despair? 28; his preaching the
natural effect of the completion of
his sufferings and his entrance into
glory on the mind of lost spirits,
28; this view gives a proper sense
to the word kŋσow, 29; in harmo

ny

with the context, 30; it accords
with the analogy of faith, 31.
Close Communion, article on, by Rev.
Alvah Hovey, 133; statement of
the object of the article, 133; prin-
ciples, underlying the argument
for close communion, 133; the
New Testament an ultimate au-
thority, 133; constitution and

work of Christian churches defi-
nitely fixed in the New Testament,
135; churches who observe the
Lord's supper, to determine the
qualifications for admission, 136;
Baptists should follow out their doc-
trine of baptism to its legitimate re-
sults, 137; scriptural prerequisites
to communion, 139; faith in Christ
the first prerequisite, 139; proved
by the import of the ordinance,
139; by the example of the apos-
tolic churches, 140; by Paul's cau-
tion to the Corinthians as to self-
examination, 141; baptism the
second prequisite, 143; proved
from the relation of the two ordi-
nances to each other, 143; by the
apostolic churches, 144; not true
that some who received the sacra-
ment from Christ had never been
baptised, 145; John's baptism was
virtually Christian baptism, 147;
Christians of every name have
considered baptism a prerequisite
to communion, 151; an orderly
church walk the last prerequisite,
153; becoming connected with a
Christian church naturally precedes
admission to the eucharist, 153; the
Lord's supper a church ordinance,
154; Corinthian Christians wont to
"meet together" to observe the
Lord's supper," 154; it could not
be observed without coming togeth-
er, 155; the Corinthians came to-
gether in church to observe the
Lord's supper, 156; no other one
besides Paul has spoken at length
of the Lord's supper in the New
Testament, 157; institution of the
supper by Christ, 160; the great
question relates to the subjects and
the rite of baptism, 164.

neva, from 1555 to 1560, article

tunes of the book, 471; its preser-
vation at Geneva, 472; history of

Divine Decrees, The, article on, by
Rev. D.T.Fiske, 400; importance
of the doctrine, 400; doctrine de-
fended, 401; the decrees of God
not commands, 402; not God's
wishes, 402; to be distinguished
from foreknowledge, 403; from
God's creative and administrative
agency, 403; his decrees not mere
permission, 404; they relate pri-
marily to his own acts, 404; differ-
ence between certainty and neces-
sity, 404; proofs of the doctrine,
406; argument from creation and
from providence, 406; the acts of
moral beings certain, 407; this cer-
tainty must have a cause, 407;
this certainty grounded on the di-
vine agency, 407; God's agency
proved to be the ground of this
certainty, 407; argument from the
analogy of the moral to the natural
world, 410; argument from the
foreknowledge of God, 412; from
the benevolence of God, 415; the
biblical argument, 416; the scrip-
tures teach that God decrees some
things, and some things to appear-
ance very trivial, 417; they imply
that God's purposes extend to all
things, 417; that God's decrees ex-
tend to events involving the moral
acts of men, 418; objections to the
doctrine from the holiness and be-
nevolence of God, 420; from his
justice and sincerity, 423; from
the inconsistency of the doctrine
with man's free agency, 424; no
influences employed by the Al-
mighty which are irresistible, 425;
he uses only influences to make
human actions certain, 426; objec-
tion from the supposed bad effect
of the doctrine, 428; cannot be
shown that it exerts a bad influ-
ence on such as embrace it, 429;
its influence sometimes bad because
the real doctrine is not seen, 430;

min W. Dwight, 274; the science of

tains all the sense of the word, 281;
mutilations of original word-forms

ogical attitude, must be compared
with other cognate words in the
same and in kindred languages,
281; the etymology of a word de-
cides its radical signification, 282;
no two separate words precisely
alike in their entire meaning, 282;
a word will take different mean-
ings according to the different
minds that use it, 283; derivation
of words not to be arrived at by a
guess, 284; some words cannot be
satisfactorily derived, 284; words
retrospective and not prospective,
285; the great mass of words fig-
urative and historical, 285; words
full of tendencies to the expression
of analogical ideas, 285; words
perpetually changing, 286; fixed
laws of criticism ever at work
upon words, 286; the revealing
power of language, 287; climatic
influences in language, 287; an

guages, 287; general words made

records, 290; the Latin the centre
of all modern etymological research,
291; specific facts pertaining to
English etymology, 291; English
etymology a vast unity in diversi-
ty, 291; facts and principles in
English concealed beneath the
surface, 292; the English addicted
to abbreviations of its forms, 292;
many Latin-English words unjoin-
ted from their original form, 293:
many English words of the same
origin though unlike in appearance,
294; many words apparently of the
same origin, not so, 295; many in-

stances of double forms, 296; some
words when combined with others
lose their radical substance, 297;
many English words simply Latin,
Greek, or German words, 298; new
words merely names of new inven-
tions, not descriptive of new results
in abstract thought, 299; English
words sometimes of a totally differ-
ent signification from their origi-

Humaneness of the Mosaic Code, ar-

people, 369; it subserves the ends
of good government, 371; it is the
groundwork of the laws of our own
