he different paragraphs. A picture of a Pauline church of a later date might be compiled in the same way from the Pastoral Epistles. 136. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit was revealed "at sundry times and in divers manners," and the complete doctrine is to be obtained by uniting the representations of the various writers of Scripture. In the New Testament there are four phases--1. In the Synoptical Gospels the Holy Spirit is set forth in His influence on the human nature of Christ; 2. in the Acts and Paul, as the power for founding the Church and converting the world; 3. in Paul as the principle of the new life of Christians; 4. in John as the Comforter. 138. Compare the irregularities of other periods of vast change, _e.g._, the Reformation. 144. On the extent to which an authoritative ecclesiastical system is given in the New Testament compare _Jus Divinum Presbyterii_ and Hooker's _Ecclesiastical Polity_. 130. _Give the names of the principal games of ancient times, derived from the places where they were held._ 131. _Where are churches mentioned as meeting in the houses of individuals?_ 132. _Explain the words "barbarian," "Scythian," in Col. iii. 11._ 135. _What modern divine endeavored to revive these phenomena, and what is the name of the church he founded? What is the meaning of the word "charism"? Were the tongues of Pentecost the same as those of 1 Corinthians?

But some of its points are silently met in the text; and the whole theory is answered by an attempt to give a view of the course of the controversy which covers all the facts. The distinction drawn in paragraphs 159 ff. between the central question in dispute and a subordinate aspect of the controversy will be found to clear up many intricacies.
