Hsw World. Now in Course of Creation.

or dffsrent from what has been before; and
creation. not as 4 definite act at one time
completed, but as q work now going on.
It is quite beyond the power Of the hu-
man mind to conceive the creation Of mat
ter out Of nothing. and whatever theorymay
be adopted as to how the pre-existent mat
ter came TO shape itself into systems,
whether we accept the nebular hypothesis,
or any other. we can only go back as far as
the time when our own world was o molten
and fuid mass.
A It is impossible to imagine the crea-
lion Of matter out Of nothing, II Is equally
impossible to tho philosophic mind to admit
that anything can be destroyed that has
once been. That all treated forms Of mat
tor are undergoing perpetual change from
one phase Of existence TO another andnewer
one. We know from our own experience Of
the planet on which We arc living but II
must ever be borne In mind, that no one
atom Of matter il lost in this process Of
change. e~venthough the result Of the forces
ct work to occasion IL may DO such as to
cface every Characteristic of the original.
till We might imagine that the former mass
lad been destroyed. and another created in
tn place.
These changes may DO considered as difer-
snt stages in the growth Of worlds. and, al
though mans tenancy has been Of y dura-
ton almost nothing as compared even with
rocent geological periods, we are enabled
from sstudy Of the history Of our globe. as
shown In its crust. and from our compan-
ion planets, to infer that. 30 far from the
act Of creation being complete. 1t will live
IN through Its manhood to old age. and at
some time or other. through the gradual
ioss Of Its internal heat. be reduced to
condition analogous to that Of the moon.
This period may not be arrived ut for many
millions Of years. perhaps but i. is not the
less certain on that account. From the cool
ing Of tho earth's crust sufficiently for the
first and lowest forms Of vegetable life to
make their appearance. to the arrival Of
mankind upon the scene. demanded m al
most ineonceivabls period Of time to have
elapsed. and. IL maybe that an equally long
period win Be required before the earth shail
have ndiatsd into space. or. In other words,
have lost % much heat as to render irnpos.
