COMPARATIVE .eE oLoaY.

professors lecture on the above subject
1t was>a last thought Of Newton that as
troromy would nevers become a seit nee
until it should be associated withsgeolo-
Icy. ALI science is comparative, and ss-
Itronomy or geologic did rot become a
science until it became comparatiKe To
i stuay The methods Of creation, in our
woEld we must comaare the evidences as
given by geology here with the eyiden-
ces of geology as given in otheD worlds
around us. If we and certain processes
going on in the sum-. and other heavenly
bodies, producing tho same results that
1--we find have bees and are being brought
Eabout on our globe-then by compafi-
sons we may prove pretty cenclusively
that the modes Of creation have been go
ing on here that are now going on in the
younger planets. and the same results
will be reached here that have been
reached in the older ones. ALI nature
beats against 1aan in waves waves Of the
air produce the waves which the mind
translates into sOund--the sound is not
IN the ether, which nervades allspace, is
translated BY the mind as light-the
light is not in the ether, but in the mind
The waves of the air striking upon abe
ear with q certain rapidity gives the
pitch of sounds music. The waves OF
the ether striking on eye with certain
rapldity produces the pitch Of light and
We call it color. The music Is not In the
piano but in the mind, The color is not
in the RIB bon but N the mind. The
burning of every substance produces
beats of certain rapi6ity-if the beats
arc a. the rate of $4,000 per inch, the
color will be red-if 10000 beats per
inch, the color will be green; and so on
with all substances. With the spectre
lscope, science will tell what substances
are burning IN the sun and other stars !;
and thus we find all the substances are
now burning in the sun that we find on
the earth, except gold-science has not
yet discovered the evidences of gold in
the sun. By means of the spectroscope
/ and the telescope we ere enabled to trace
the cause of creation from the nebula-
\ misty form of "World stuff'-to the
worn out planet which has lost its wa
ter, its air and its life. By these means
we know that the sun isa young planet.
by these means we know that the moon
is an old plauet-a dead planet. As
the sun is now this globe was-as the
moon is row this 5tvGv wiii DO. Thv
lecturer illustrated with chalk the beau
tiful experiment of the blind scientist
Platot, by which he produced in large
glass globe, mimic universe, with wa
ter, alcohol and swee. Gil Ia this min
iature universe, the fluid compound is
set in motion-the oil forms in globes
the globes revolye--compress at the
poles-expand ut the equator, as all the
pl anets do--throws out rings as saturn
has then whtn the revolutions have
attained sufficient rapidity the rings
! break up and are set in motion as other.
planets, revolving around their mother
planet--then these globules of Gil will
gradually return to the bosom of the
original oil sun. And thus is it With
our universe. AS from the bosom of the
sun sc come~-so to the bosom OF the sun
shall we return. Astronomers have de-
morstrated that the time was when the
DAYS of this earth was but Is to 10 hours
long the time is coming when the
earth's days will be month long. As
we come nearer the sun, the earth re
wolves slower on its own axis-born Of
the sun--it must to the bosom of the sun
return.
As in the case Of Platot's mimic uni
verse. mind was necessary to put it in
moGion-so in our universe was there a
necessary mind toput 1t in motion. To-
day we see the misty world stuff" in
one place apparently at rest-we see it
III other places in the first stages Of mo-
ton, and always circular m;nion. We
find something which we call ether,
THAT pervades all space-which passes
through other substances and through
worlds as if they were not and is there
a something beyond all this-beh;nd all
this the mind 1.-The spirit? Man is the
epinme of the uni 1erse--in him are fnnnd
