A NEW NAME, iii. 14; vi. 2, 3.

revelation, 55.--Jehovah. The sound corrupted. Similar superstitions
yet, 56.--What it told the Jews. Reality of being, 57.--Jews not saved

Lucretius, 60.--The Immutable is Love. This is our help, 61.--Human
will is not paralysed, 62.--The teaching of St. Paul. All this is
practical, 63.--This gives stability to all other revelations. Our own
needs, 64.
