Wiser than Darwin aud Huxley lac undertakes
TO explain some matter connected with the crea-
ton OF the earth. Why he nId not notice the
evolution theory is unacoountable. "In the tenth
verse (of Genesis'ls) we are Informed that "He
called the dry land earth" This, with its lofty
mountain peaks and deep valleys. was then with

sequently no atmosphere, II was void OF light
and life.
The second verse OF right should read thus,
" and the spirit OF God moved over the face Of tho
waters, and God said Let there be light,
and there was light" We are Informed la this
verse that the work Of creation began by a move
ment OF the spirit Of God. This movement envel-
oped the dry land with water and la this move
ment light was produced. II Is important 10 note
the significance OF tho term Ddters, as used In this
chapter, We gather from lis use la this place that
water is not O mass, but Ia made up Of particles, or
globes OF water ; aud that The spirit did not con-
fine his movements 10 the surface OF the water,
considered rs a mass, but moved over the face Of
the innnitesimal globes Of which Il ia composed
thus producing light.
Proceeding systematically, on the second day
we are informed that the armament was made In

Ornament, yet we may know II, for our reasoning
faculties will furnish this knowledge. We may
know that nitrogen that is everywhere present In
our atmosphere Is the framework Of the 1rma-
ment. and that when the armament was MAIDS God
caused the globes Of nitrogen 10 take the form OF

We may understand that all through these
columns there would be little empty spaces, or
vacuums and can understand that ~ water will
