became president of Avery College, but soon resigned this position and returned to Shiloh Church. He was appointed minister and consul-general to Liberia in June, 1881.

GARNIER, gaV'nye', JEAN: French Jesuit; b. at Paris Nov 11, 1612; d. at Bologna Oct. 26, 1681. He joined the order of the Jesuits at the age of sixteen, and soon demonstrated his theological talent and lus aptness for study and teaching. For forty years he held professorships of ancient languages, rhetoric, theology, and philosophy, and published numerous works, the value of which could not be denied even by enemies of the order. Of lasting importance are his Pelagian studies, comprising a work on the Pelagian Bishop Julian of Eclanum {Juliani Eclanensis episcopi libellus fidei primum editus cum notis et dissertationibus tribus, Paris, 164S), as well as his edition of the writings of Marius Mercator (1673) with a commentary and treatises on Peiagianism. Such was the excellence of this latter work that when Cardinal Noris saw it, he declared that his own book on the history of the Pelagian heresy would have remained unwritten if he had seen the Marius Mercator at an earlier date. In 1675 Gamier edited the Breviarium causa Nestorianorum et Eutychianorum of the Carthage archdeacon Liberatus, appending learned notes and excursus of his own. He also discussed other problems of church history in the three dissertations which he appended to his Liber diurnus Romanorum pontiflcum (1680). After the death of Gamier his supplement to the works of Theodoret was edited by Hardouin, a brother of the same order, with a preface containing a biography of the author (Paris, 1684). His earliest works, Organi philosophic rudimenta (Paris, 1651) and Regula fidei catholica de gratia Dei per Jesum Christum (Bourges, 1655), are less noteworthy. He wrote also Tractatus de officiis confessoris erga singula pomitentium genera (Paris, 1689), and Systema bibliotheca collegii Parisiensis S. J. (1678).

GARNIER, JULIEN: French Benedictine of the Congregation of St. Maur; b. at Connerre (16 m. e. of Le Mans) c. 1670; d. at Charenton (5 m. s.e. of Paris) June 3, 1725. In 1699 he joined the Maurist order, and became the collaborator of the famous Dom Mabillon. His thorough knowledge of the Greek language and literature led his order to entrust him with the preparation of a new edition of the works of Basil, and after 1701 he devoted all his time and energy to this tremendous undertaking. The first volume appeared after twenty years of uninterrupted toil (Paris, 1721), and in the following year he published the second. His labors had worn him out, however, and he died before the publication of the third volume, which was prepared by Dom Prudent Maran (1730).
