GEOLOGY NOT HOSTILE TO RELIGION.
''The science Of Geology, has been ferccly at
tackled as hostile to religion, and been ably de-
Tended by the Rev. Adam Sedgwick, one of its
most eminent professors. In the Appendix to
his discourse on the studies of the University of
Cambridge, (Eng) he has published some valua-
BILE and instructive notes, in the last of which he
reproves, with great eloqnence and severity, the
bigoted and ignorant individuals who dare to
affirm that the pursuits of natural science are
hostile to religion He also chastiscs those wrl-
ters who have endeayofed 10 falsify the facts and
conclusions Of Geology, for the purpose of flat
terng the religious preiudices of the public
There is another class of men saws he who pur
sue Geology by near road, and are guided by
different light Well-intentoned they may be +;
but they nave betrayed no small selt-sniic!ency,
along with shameful want Of knowledge of the
fundamental facts they presume to write about;
hence they have dishonored the literature of this
country by Mosaic Geology, Scripture Geology,
and other works of cosinogony with kindred
titles, wherein they have overlooked the ann and
end of revelation, tortured the book of life out of
its proper meaning, and wantonly csntrived to
bring about collision between natural phenom-
ina and the word of God
The following observation of the same author
is exceedingly just:-'A Dgahmin crushed "'th
stone the Microscope that first showed him
living things among the vegetables Of his daily
food The spirit of the Brahmin lives in Chris
tendon. The bad principles Of our nature are
not bounded By caste climate; and men arc
still to be found, who, if not restrained By the
wise and humane laws of their country, would
try t. stiAe by personal violence, and crush by
brute force, every truth not Matched among their
own concets, and confined within the narrow
fences of their own ignorance ----"

Pursuing this chain of reasoning, his friend was
at first convinced. and ultimately joined in cordial
acknowledgment of the absurdny Of denying the
existence Of God.

EFFECT OF SCIENCE ON REVELATION.
As long science shall continue TO influence the

God, aud the armament showcih his handy work.
Since tho telescope has changed the sparkling dla-
monds Of night into rolling spheres, where perhaps in

mere ornaments the wide arch that walls in the
world. We sec them globes compose systems on
systems-having centres around which they fell in
abysses where eve but Gods alone has glanced
and those centres, in their turn moving around suns
that are controlled by other suns whose attendant,
worlds only then sparkle In tho suburbs Of creation.
Take this though, in connexion with the passage As
the heavens higher than the earth my thos
higher than thy thoughts, and how glorious, how
PIONEERING 10 the rejecting mind are the words Of the
sacred writer.
Since geology has opened to the gaze tho shining
crystals, the governed torrents the diamond paved re.
cesscs and the sub marine volcanoes Of the world
how much more forcibe many passages of holy
writ. And chemistry, too, standing up in the great la
boraiory Of nature, flashes gh, many sacred line

brightest torch over the World Of the Almighty. -
When she suspends her lamp creation, al
