TIE EsEGEENENG or THE
WORLD.

The following extract from sermon
of Mr.. Sturgeon, the pious English
preacher, is specimen of the eloquence
which within few years has made bis
name familiar in both hemisphercs;
"Can any man tell me when the begin
ming was? Years ago we thought the
beginning of the world was when Adam
came upon it; but we have discovered
that, thousands of years before that, God
was forming chaotic matter to make it q
fit abode for man, and putting races OF
creatures upon it, that they might die and
leave traces of His hanGi-work and marvel
Gus skill before he tried b skill on man.
But this was not the beginning, for reve-
.Iation points to the days. when the morn
ings were begotten, when like drops of
dew from the fingers, the morning stars
and consultations fell trickling frem the
hands of God, when, by his own lips, lie
launched forth ponderous orbs, when,
with His own hand, He sent comets like
thunderbolts, wandering through the sky
to find one day THEN proper sphere. +" Q
90 back to those days when worlds were
made and systems were fashioned and we
have not even approached the beginning
yet.
Until we go back to the tiHne when
the universe slept in the mind of God, IS
vet unborn, until we entered the eternity
where God.the Creator dwells alone, eve
rything sleeping within Him, Alteration
sleeping in his mighty gigantic thought
we have not guessed the beginning. Our
wing might be tried, our imagination
might die away. Gould it out-strip the
lightning flashes in majesty, power, and
rapidly, it would soon weary itself ere it
could reach the beginning. But God,
from the beginning chose his people
when the unnavigab!e ether was yet un-
famed by the wings of a single angel,
when space was shoreIess, or else unborn
when universal silence reigned, and not a
voice or whisper shocked the solemnity OF
silence: when there was no being, no
emotion, and naught but God Himself
alone in His eternity, when, without the
attendance of ever cherubim, long ere
| the living creatures were born, or the
wheels of the chariot of Jehovah were
| fashioned; even then, gin the beginning
was theword," and in the beginning Gods
! people were one in the world and Gin the
beginning He chose them all unto eternal
lfe."
