to express the Infinite in human language, these cannot have certainty of the same kind as that which belongs to the contents of our personal experience. Therefore, in order to have a saving faith, we must begin by trusting in the present revelation of God's Spirit. When we fully trust in God, where we have certain knowledge, it will become easy to trust, not our own speculations but Him, for all which lies beyond the range of certainty. This certainty grows. They who trust in the first and simplest revelations of duty, with that trust which is obedience, have an ever widening perception of the truth of the Christian life, which is manifested in Jesus Christ. They know that His perfect faith in God, His perfect loyalty to truth, His perfect love to man, all culminating in His great act of self-sacrifice on the Cross, are the highest revelation of God to and in man. Those who have seen this truth know that it is true. To them, nothing in physical science, nothing in mathematics, nothing whatever which comes within human thought and experience, is more sure, more trustworthy than this. "We know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” THE END. --:0:- Abrahams, Galenus, 119 Alexander, Isaac, 265 Ames, William, 77 America, Quakers hanged in, 174 Anti-slavery agitation, 281 Apology, the, 184, 212, 254, 259, 274, 361 Apostate Quakers, 263 Art, Fox an enemy of, 222 Ash, Dr., 323 Atheism, 350, 351, 353 Atkins, Christopher, 143 Atkinson and Armstrong, 95 Audland, John, 90, 92 Banks, John, 97, 124 Baptists, the, 61, 167 Barclay, Colonel, 75 Barclay, Robert, 107, 184-203, 229, 252, 260, 342, 361 Barclay, Robert (the younger), 70, 73, 144 Barnard, Hannah, 246 Barnardiston, Giles, 77 Baxter, Richard, 4, 170-173, 189, 195 Benezet, Anthony, 274, 281 Bennet, Judge, 52, 53, 225 Bible, the, Protestant belief in, 185-188, 328, 378; Quaker belief in, 79, Blangdon, Barbara, 93 Blasphemy, Ordinance against, 14 Böhme, Jacob, 42, 100 Bownas, Samuel, 264, 265 Brewster, Margaret, 110 Bromfield, William, 263 Brown, Henton, 267 Bunyan, John; his autobiography, 22, 32; compared with Fox, 22, Burnet, Bishop, 163 Burnyeat, John, 176 Burroughs, Edward, 5; esteemed a prophet, 21; conversion, 65; be- Butler and Paley, 391, 400 Calamy, Edmund, Sermon by, 30 Calvin and Calvinism, 185-189, 249, 333, 334, 380 Camm, Anne, 92 Carlyle, Thomas, 2, 17 Catholicity, 157 Certainty in religion, 194, 347, 370, 374, 376, 385, 401 Chalkley, Thomas, 235, 264 Charles II., 5, 76, 85, 127, 137, 147, 162, 226, 227, 250 Children of the Light, 68, 129, 211, 308, 317 Children, quaker, 97 Christian quaker, the, by W.
