Messrs. EpIroRs: Permit to notice through your
journal the article under this head by Mr. EvELETH
Friday week. which refers to remarks of mine
nected with the origin of the Delnge Mr.. Il.
admits Of the igneous fudity of the nucleus Of
planet and gives the opinion, from Kanes Elements Of
Chemistry that, although at the surface the tempera
ture Of the earth is solely dependant upon the radatng
power of the sun, yet it found that it contains within
itself of heat" but he the idea that
earth and by inference all the planets project
ed balls of fire from the sum- and that process has
been in operation from the beginning to effect cooling,
which is still going towards the centre, till" he
says poor planet shall have frozen completely up,
sealed solid the Book Of Fate" If his premises
correct the inference he has drawn may produce
this result but the theory Of the formation of the pa
nets by of fractures in the body Of the is with
out the shadow Of fact to sustain it. The glorious sys
tenn of creation formed in the begnning" it
exists. When God determined to create order of
ntegences he foresaw and provided for all future time
thousand years in his sight as one day. All his
works perfect and original From the beginning all
things remain as they created. The great event
spoken of in Scripture for which the whole intelligent
world is waitngthe confagation of earth and the
establishment Of new world for the reception of the
rghteous-must necessarily when oil things shall be
consummated The agent of this great event now the
like induIgent father, diusng blessings over all
worlds, will at the appointed time, under the command
Of the Creator, effect the great event.
The hypothesis Of Mr. Eveeth is that " the sun is
burning body from which has sprung the matter
posing the earth well the planets of system.
But this is not in with what has been prev-
ously written besides which, it is derogatory the Gre
ator that he should place perhing body effect
great work to preserve the order Of entire system
Of worlds filed with intelligence No. the sun neuer
burn ou, never can perish except by divine command.
1t is composed Of matter that in language is
nal The sun Is body Of electron and though tispsr
petualy giving out its living principle and preserving
powers it, like earth, receives back all gave So
far from the being "burnng" body, it possesses
no heat all This is evident from the fact that the
you approach the the colder it is those who
have ascended high mountains to great heights in
balloons testify to this Our supplies the entire
system with light and heat The substance it gives
which is part of all space,
and is the principle Of life to every thing All the worlds
Of system are, before remarked lighted up and
vivifed by IT, After has performed its work among
them it is returned to its original fountain by
the comets which system: thus the order
ProvideRces kept up The heat that is the result of the
suns rays is the effect of their action upon atmo
sphere and the earth ITSELF which is also composed o.
combustibe materials The beautiful corruscatons o
the boreas produced by this electric fuiC
passing through the earth at the poles This spirit
Is the originator Of all the phenomena of earth
earthquakes the rolling thunder, the lghtnings blaze
the rich nts of the horizon, the fash Of intelligence
through the wires Of the telegraph, &c.
