A CORRECTION. 



BY PROFESSOR H. A. REID. 



In the Review for October, page 365, occurs the "Synoptic Calendar of 

 Creation," in which there is an important omission, but altogether my own fault. 

 I wish to have it printed in its complete form, as connected with my article on 

 " Creational Progress," and therefore present it here again with the omitted parts 

 supplied. 



THE SYNOPTIC CALENDAR OF CREATION. 



THE SPIRITUAL 

 KINGDOM. 



{ God; angels; "ministering spirits;" "spirits of 

 I just men made perfect;" the "spiritual man " of 

 l\ the Bible. Also, evil spirits, "powers of dark- 

 i ness," the "familiar spirits" so rigorously out- 

 l^lawed by the laws of Moses. 



THE ANIMAL 

 KINGDOM. 



All animal tissues, substances and products, in- 

 cluding the animal, Man, of science, or "carnal 

 man " of the Bible. 



THE VEGETABLE 

 KING/WM. 



All vegetable growths, substances and products. 



THE MINERAL 

 KINGDOM. 



All mineral substances, whether solid, subfiuid, 

 or in solution, that have never formed any part of 

 any vitalized structure. 



THE ELEMENTAL 

 KINGDOM. 



Preterrestrial elements ; nebulous matter, what- 

 ever it may be ; also, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, 

 ozone, etc. 



THE POTENTIAL 

 KINGDOM. 



( Those impalpable and imponderable forces in 

 I nature which physical science does recognize, but 

 \ can in nowise explain or account for — as, electri- 

 I city, magnetism, gravitation, heat, vitessence, 

 1^ will-power, volition, etc. 



THE DEIFIC 

 KINGDOM. 



( That Supreme Power which is the ultimate or 

 I absolute Great First Cause — however it may be 

 1 ^ conceived to exist, or by whatever name called. 

 I The "Jehovah," the "Living God," the " Heav- 

 l^ enly Father " of the Bible. 



In the first publication of this calendar, as above referred to, the first two 

 kingdoms were inadvertently omitted. It doubtless fills the popular thought 

 without them ; but for fundamental grasp and philosophical completeness, they 

 are necessary.
