PROF BUsH's FIRST LEcTURE-SrcoSD No
rIcE.- The second part of Professor Bush's Lee
ture on Sabbath evening, the first part Of which
.ye noticed yesterday, was mainly a consideration
Of the nature and locality of Heaven, and to this
subject hc thought what he had already said of a
progressive knowledge of the Sacred Scriptures
peculiarly applicable The word Heaven is often
used to designate particular state ot being, with
ont any particular reference to locality; but it Is
also frequently employed in the Bible in such CON
nection as to suggest the idea of place. In this
he believed that the Holy Scriptures had accom-
odated their instructions to the successive periods
Of intellectual Development. 1t is undepablc that
there belong to the race to the individual, child
hood, youth and maturity-cach successive stage
of existence presenting its own phase OF intellect
iial culture and its own reccpt,ity of knowledge.
You cannot talk to a child upon any subject as you
would to a man. he sees every thing from dit
ferent point and with different horizon. Nor
could the same form OF instruction be addressed to
the childhood IF the race which would be suited
10 Interior generations.
Tie advances that have been made in asrro-
namical science make necessary language tel W.
different from that addressed to the ancient world.
They saw the stars just above thcm-kncw not
how distant they were, noi suspected that any ex-
stcd beyond those their eyes could behold. Their
Heaven. thca. was Just above the solid armament,
Bur the wondrous inventions of science have, it
were. pushed back for u these stars to An almost
infinite distance. and shown 10 our sight myriad'
bevond them. So far. then, as regards precise To-
cality is not possible for ne to think ct Heaven
as Just where the ancienis placed 1t. Some change
in this respect is made absolutely necessary by the
intellectual progress of the race. We cannot, 1t
we would. entertain precisely tie same idea of
Heaven a. did the ancient'.
But there i. another change made Necessary by
this sane progress. Is we advance in knowledge
we naturally become less oJjectire-we look less
upon outward things the sober realities, and ars
led more and more TO regard the world within VI.
a, the world of. for Us real and permanent being.
We see that hsppines- depends more upon our
own hearts and less upon things around than We
had supposed: that Heaven must be situated in
our own hearts-if we would have ii real for u.;
tina, if our affections and thoughts all IN har-
mony with God and in unison with the Jaw OF
Right and Lovc-Hcaven is within and the
circumstance of place is Of little account.
The views already presented Of the Rs'urrec-
ton give additional force to these considerations
The spiritual body with which We shall be clothed
ma, not in its nature sustain the same relation 10
spacc n the gross forms of matter with which We
are new acquainted. From what has already been
advanced. however. it may easily be inferred that
after death it is possible that We may dwell near
the earth, that we may witness IL moral changes
and the wondrous dramas enacted upon II. his,
certainly. isar more congcnal 10 the feelings than
the thought that at the instant of death the soul
takes it. flight to some unknown region beyond the
stars. to dwell forever apart from all the good ard
beautiful il has loved upon the earth. The most
earnest loncings OF the Christian moreover are 10
behold the iulhlment of those wonderful prOphe-
cies recorded in Scripture which relate to the IT,
turc glories Of the Church; why may not part OF
the happiness Of Heaven consist in beholdns their
fall accomplishment Prot. Bush did not wish to
be understood a. saying that the soul is always
thus to be confined to the earth, that It Is ever
indeed forbidden to wander through inmensity'
but only that ii nav thus exist in full accordance
with our highest hopes-until the purposes OF God
shall remove it 10 other parts of his creation
Upon these points Prof Bush did no, offer de-
monstration-5ut mere suggestions: and IN con-
tinuing them he said he saw no difficulty IN De-
