            (a) [bd]The complement of those cognitions or convictions

                  common, and by which they test the truth of knowledge
                  and the morality of actions.[b8]
            (b) [bd]The faculty of first principles.[b8] These two are
                  the philosophical significations.
            (c) [bd]Such ordinary complement of intelligence, that,if
                  a person be deficient therein, he is accounted mad or

            (a) .
  
      {The inner}, [or] {internal}, {sense}, capacity of the mind
            to be aware of its own states; consciousness; reflection.
            [bd]This source of ideas every man has wholly in himself,
            and though it be not sense, as having nothing to do with
            external objects, yet it is very like it, and might
            properly enough be called internal sense.[b8] --Locke.
  
      {Sense capsule} (Anat.), one of the cartilaginous or bony

      {Sense organ} (Physiol.), a specially irritable mechanism by

      Usage: {Sense}, {Understanding}, {Reason}. Some philosophers
                  have given a technical signification to these terms,
                  which may here be stated. Sense is the mind's acting
                  in the direct cognition either of material objects or
                  of its own mental states. In the first case it is
                  called the outer, in the second the inner, sense.
                  Understanding is the logical faculty, i. e., the power
                  of apprehending under general conceptions, or the
                  power of classifying, arranging, and making
                  deductions. Reason is the power of apprehending those
                  first or fundamental truths or principles which are
                  the conditions of all real and scientific knowledge,
                  and which control the mind in all its processes of
                  investigation and deduction. These distinctions are
                  given, not as established, but simply because they
                  often occur in writers of the present day.

      Note: The European white, or mute, swan ({Cygnus gibbus}),
               which is most commonly domesticated, bends its neck in

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Synagogue
      (Gr. sunagoge, i.e., "an assembly"), found only once in the
      Authorized Version of Ps. 74:8, where the margin of Revised
      Version has "places of assembly," which is probably correct; for
      while the origin of synagogues is unknown, it may well be
      supposed that buildings or tents for the accommodation of
      worshippers may have existed in the land from an early time, and
      thus the system of synagogues would be gradually developed.
     
         Some, however, are of opinion that it was specially during the
      Babylonian captivity that the system of synagogue worship, if
      not actually introduced, was at least reorganized on a
      systematic plan (Ezek. 8:1; 14:1). The exiles gathered together
      for the reading of the law and the prophets as they had
      opportunity, and after their return synagogues were established
      all over the land (Ezra 8:15; Neh. 8:2). In after years, when
      the Jews were dispersed abroad, wherever they went they erected
      synagogues and kept up the stated services of worship (Acts
      9:20; 13:5; 17:1; 17:17; 18:4). The form and internal
      arrangements of the synagogue would greatly depend on the wealth
      of the Jews who erected it, and on the place where it was built.
      "Yet there are certain traditional pecularities which have
      doubtless united together by a common resemblance the Jewish
      synagogues of all ages and countries. The arrangements for the
      women's place in a separate gallery or behind a partition of
      lattice-work; the desk in the centre, where the reader, like
      Ezra in ancient days, from his 'pulpit of wood,' may 'open the
      book in the sight of all of people and read in the book of the
      law of God distinctly, and give the sense, and cause them to
      understand the reading' (Neh. 8:4, 8); the carefully closed ark
      on the side of the building nearest to Jerusalem, for the
      preservation of the rolls or manuscripts of the law; the seats
      all round the building, whence 'the eyes of all them that are in
      the synagogue' may 'be fastened' on him who speaks (Luke 4:20);
      the 'chief seats' (Matt. 23:6) which were appropriated to the
      'ruler' or 'rulers' of the synagogue, according as its
      organization may have been more or less complete;", these were
      features common to all the synagogues.
     
         Where perfected into a system, the services of the synagogue,
      which were at the same hours as those of the temple, consisted,
      (1) of prayer, which formed a kind of liturgy, there were in all
      eighteen prayers; (2) the reading of the Scriptures in certain
      definite portions; and (3) the exposition of the portions read.
      (See Luke 4:15, 22; Acts 13:14.)
     
         The synagogue was also sometimes used as a court of
      judicature, in which the rulers presided (Matt. 10:17; Mark
      5:22; Luke 12:11; 21:12; Acts 13:15; 22:19); also as public
      schools.
     
         The establishment of synagogues wherever the Jews were found
      in sufficient numbers helped greatly to keep alive Israel's hope
      of the coming of the Messiah, and to prepare the way for the
      spread of the gospel in other lands. The worship of the
      Christian Church was afterwards modelled after that of the
      synagogue.
     
         Christ and his disciples frequently taught in the synagogues
      (Matt. 13:54; Mark 6:2; John 18:20; Acts 13:5, 15, 44; 14:1;
      17:2-4, 10, 17; 18:4, 26; 19:8).
     
         To be "put out of the synagogue," a phrase used by John (9:22;
      12:42; 16:2), means to be excommunicated.
