Exposition of the Original Text of
Genesis i. and ii., article, by Rev.
Samuel Hopkins, 51; "without
form and void," 51; God created
the land after it began to be, 52;
meaning of the word "without
form," 53; meaning of the word
"void," 55; the word "without
form" indicates the present want
of form and present desolation,
but with indications of previous
form and structures, 59;" void"
indicates the want of living beings,
but with traces of former inhab-
itants, 60; the earth not created
"without form" and "void," 62;
the idea that the earth once had
form and was inhabited not neces-
sarily revolting, 64; our world does
not stand alone, 67; the old world
peopled and furnished with struc-
tural forms, 68. Creation of light,
422; light the object of the first
potential act of creating, 422; the
creating of light the first calling of
light to be here, 423; light existed
already, 423; the separation be-
tween the light and the darkness,
427; the light was not a surround-
ing light, 429; the earth totally
enlightened as it moved around
the sun, 430; day means light ex-
actly, 436; light or day marks out
so much time, 436; it marks time
when connected with motion, 438;
no difference between a world-
light and a world-day, 439; mean-
ing of evening-and-morning, 440;
the light must have come from the
sun, 442; the movement which was
the condition of the morning-and-
evening light must have been an
axial movement, 443; any source
of light must be constant unless
the place moves as the light moves,
445; the object of the Mosaic ac-
count of the creation relates to this
world exclusively, 446.

731; impartiality of obedience to

or stability of will, 735; have we
the promise of such a development
of the religious sensibilities that
the will shall be confirmed in holi-
ness, 737; Pres. Finney's theology
to be compared with others, 739;
