mense undertaking. Think OF single
man boasting that he could. by mcchani:
cal power, move G,069, 600, 900, ,000, ,000,-
100000 tons. weight. Few persons have
any just conception Of what this string of
figures indioatcs. Suppose each ton Of the
oarth's weight to be represented by cube
of gold, land that ten hundred millions Of
people-all the inhabitants Of the world
wero set to counting these pieces Of gold;
each individual counting one each second Of
time without cessation, night and day, it
would require two hundred years to com
pleto the task. Six generations of men
would pass away before the work was done.
It is only by faith that VIC can understand
how such an immense mass of matter
was brought into existence or how it is kept
in being. tlf#,
This earth revolvos op its own axis onoe
in twenty-four hours. At The equator,
where the diurnal motion of the earth is
greatest, its velocity is moro than ono thous
and miles each hour. What is this COM
parod with the velocity of the earth in its
annual revolution round the sum- In one
year-from January to January-tho earth
moves round the sun in an elliptical path,
six hundred millions of miles, or at the ratio,
Of moro than twelve hundred miles eaoh
minute! Only by faith can we understand
how such speed as this is attainable. Not.
withstanding tho huge size Of tho earth
and the frikhtfuI speed with which it is
revolving about the sun and on its own
axis, there is not the least disturbance
noise, no confusion. A ohild's wagon,
drawn by its nurse, makes more noiso at
oaoh revolution ofits wheels, that the double
revolution of the earth has made since God
pointed out to it its paths and bid it move
in them.
e,The Bible teaobes US that God made the
suu to,rule the day, and tho moon md stars
to rulo the night, This we can under
by faith. Ii other words, what God has
revealed, respecting creation, in his word,
is credible. 1t may be above our reason;
but not contrary to it. The word of God
tho vague theories Of mere philosophers may
como in conflict; but right reason and the
Bible arc always in harmony.
