MR. EDIToR: In reading extracts

a very inadequate idea of either the beau

may be led to suppose person IS much

whole soul would detest.

hearing SURPRISE expressed at Hugh
MIXERS " Vision of Creation" contained
IN his last work " The Testimony of the
Rocks, an extract of which appeared in
your paper a few weeks since. They
seem to think Hugh Miller an infleI or
a deist-a man who had cas-. behind him
or had trampled under foot the Bible
This Is a great mistake. Hugh Miller
was one who loved the Bible, and bowed
implicitly TO It's teachings. Mr.. Miller
was, if | mistake not, ruling elder in
the Presbyterian Church, aud an able de-
fender of its doctrines and order, and
hence not very likely to treat the Bible
with disresPect. Many person<-good
people, christian peopic-Iook with dis
trust and aversion upon the progress OF
science, and especially of that Of Astron-
omy and Geology. Many of different

revealed the truth that the earth was a
