=57=: 21. =The Vandals.= A barbarian race of Southern Germany, who in the fifth century ravaged Gaul, Spain, Italy, and Northern Africa. =59=: 13. =Montanists.= A sect of the second century that believed in Montanus as a prophet, and in the near advent of Christ to judge the world. =60=: 31. (_a_) =The prophet.= (_b_) =Jeroboam.= (_a_) Ahias. (_b_) The first king of Israel after the separation of the tribes; a man perverse and irreverent in his relations with God and subject. =59= to =70=. =The argument.= The apology for flight in times of religious persecution, made by Athanasius, the great bishop of Alexandria, fourth century, and the cogent argument against it of Tertullian, a celebrated writer of the second century, show how circumstances, above all, Divine inspiration, justify opposite lines of action. St. Augustine's letter, written in his strong and luminous style, reconciles the two points of view. =71= to =74=. =The misery of irreligion.= A profound analysis of the two classes of men without religion,--the one distorted, brutalized, and deadened; the other confused, wild, and hungering after what is to them indefinable, yet alone satisfying. Compare in its source, tenor, and effect the unhappiness of the "popular poet" Byron and that of Augustine. =76=: 8. =St. Monica.= One of the greatest women of all times; a model of faith, constancy, and maternal love. =79=: 23. =Christianity a philosophy.= Such it is accounted by many modern thinkers who, in spite of clear, full evidences of its divinity, affect to doubt or deny altogether the supernatural. These reduce the Gospels to a code of ethics, and regard Christ as merely a teacher of morality; the earnestness of Augustine would lead them by a short road to recognize and worship God in Jesus Christ. CHRYSOSTOM =84= to =90=. =The Introduction.= The personal touch of these pages gives an insight into the tender, sensitive nature of Cardinal Newman. He was a man not only of intense and powerful intellect, but of delicate and affectionate heart. It is his gracious, winning appeal that renders him irresistible in influence. =90=: 12. =Chrysostom.= "Golden mouth," from his eloquence. He is counted among the great Patristic writers. =90=: 21. =Antipater.= Son of Herod the Great; called by Josephus "a monster of iniquity." He was put to death, 1 B.C. =90=: 22. =Fulvia.= Wife of Marc Antony; noted for her cruelty and ambition. =92=: 6. (_a_) =Gallus.= (_b_) =Ovid.= (_a_) Governor of Egypt under Augustus; accused of crime and oppression, and banished. (_b_) A celebrated Roman poet, author of _Metamorphoses_; exiled by Augustus for some grave offense never revealed. =97=: 12. =The seasons.= This apt and ingenious analogy is regarded as one of Newman's more beautiful passages. =100=: 30. =Chrysostom's discriminating affectionateness.= The reason, probably, why he has so great a hold upon the heart of posterity--love begets love.
