ALLEGED DISCREPANCY BETWEEN PAUL AND JAMES (by Rev. E. Kennedy), 237-258. Different objects, conditions, and attainments, account for apparent discrepancies in Scripture, but inspira- tion secures real harmony through all, 237; the apparent difference between Paul and James stated, 238; theories of reconciliation by Hug, Dwight, Knapp, Frommann, Neander, Moses Stuart, Barnes, &c., 239-246; examination of the sense of dikatów (to justify) as used by Paul and James, 247; the Pauline sense is to absolve from condemna- tion,' 247; could not be used in this Pauline sense by James, 248; another sense of the word is discoverable in the Gospels, 'to approve' or 'vindicate,' or 'to declare one's character righteous,' 248; this is the sense in which it is em- ployed by St. James, 249; difficulties obviated, 250; the harmony of the two Apostles further shown by the mean- ing they respectively attach to ěpya (works), 251-254; the case of Abra- ham as cited by the two Apostles, 254; James's line of argument here, 255; examples of equal apparent discre- pancies between different expressions of Christ and of Paul, 257. no discord, but exact agreement, be- tween Paul and James, 258.

FINE ART AMONG THE JEWS (by Rev. Dr. Memes); the sojourn in Egypt fa- vourable to the acquisition of taste for and skill in the arts, 50; the tangible results not answerable to the expecta- tions excited, 51; the works in the wilderness inevitably suggest their Egyptian original-how this consists with the Divine inspiration claimed for them, 53-55; the original types of the forms which the Egyptians gave to their sacred fanes and utensils may be traced to Chaldea, 55; Moses may have resorted to this fountain-head, yet there are arts which the Israelites un- questionably brought from Egypt, 56- 58; instanced in metallurgy, 58; in engraving precious stones, 59; in sculp- tures of wood and stone, ib.; in the lighter arts, 60; inferences in art from affair of the golden calf, 60-64; from the book of Job, 64-68; was modelling known? 68; was the figure of the

special advantages and course of the author in identifying the natural pro- ducts of the Bible, 259-262; notice of former labourers in this department, 263; much still remains to be done- nature of the difficulties, 265; prin- ciples which should guide such inves- tigations, 266; conditions to be sought in the "Mustard Tree" of Scripture, 267; these not found in the common mustard-plant, 268; nor in the Phyto- lacca dodecandra, in which Mr. Frost seeks them, 269; the Greek word (si- napis) rendered "mustard," is in He- brew charal, same as Arabic khardal, 270; this name still applied to a tree in Palestine, 271; a similar name (kharjul) in India denotes the Salva- dora persica, the description of which corresponds with the Syrian khardal, and supplies all the conditions re- quired, 273; this plant described, 274; found in Egypt and Abyssinia, 275; difficulty in ascertaining the positive existence of the S. persica in Palestine, 277; at length found in the description given and specimen produced by Irby and Mangles, 278-280; results of this inquiry, and the perfect agreement of S. persica with the required conditions shown, 281, 282.
