of nature, there is every quality (uslng
this term in its largest sense) for the sys'
tenn and operations OF nature, yet thus
showing their derivstive nature. Solar
these chemic elements are the heWn
stones for the structure OF the universe.
Behind these qualities, &c, of the
chemic elements, and in the evidences Oh
several of them rs furnished by the spec
troscope of their compound or made ma
ture, We have the differences,-the limit
less differences, perhaps. which is SO nee
esssry for the constitutions IN quaiities,
weights, measures, deDsities, proportions
and ratios for their various appearances
] and actions. Add to these, the fact that
some of the stars, as shown by the spec
troscope, are differently constituted rom
our world or our sun, and the primal

chemic elements widen out, to our
thought at least, illimitsbly. 1t tends TO
show that the materials for the Gre
alton, 10 this star diversity, did not come
| from piesum OF space full OF one KIND

ferent stars had construction and con-
stitution different from ours. From these
hmitless differences matter comes IN as

make the world as fit and proper thea
tire for the exercise OF the intellectual
and moral faculties OF man. These tac-
uities are exercised, in action, upon and
reaction against these laws or causes in
the chemic elements from clear
base or standpoint OF seli-con-
seriousness, and the Reason, Love,
and Will of man are the momentu,
the causes, the powers; by and through
which, and for which this action aud re-
action are set in motion and directed to
personal ends. This analysis OF Person
atty into these three powers Is
susceptible of definite solution. 1t must
suffice, now, simply to state them.
Were these atoms made, and was the
world made from these atoms? There is
Conference OF order and system IN these
foundation stones, and in the great super

come and go, and change and alter, and
there are laws of variability, in the col
