cling to old superstitions and see Gods signs
set III the heavens, And does He not give to
nun abundant assurances of His constantpres
encc and fatherly care! If the rainbow was set
in the sky after the Noachian Deluge as
promise to man that never again should the
foundations Of the great deep be broken up
and the earth be flooded, who shall say that
he has not so fashioned the phases of the
moon as to toll mankind of the coming of the
rain and the gathcri.; of the storm and tenn
pest If the moon causcth the rising and fall
ing Of the great tides OF the Ocean, thus NOV
my rhe waters Of the earth, why may she not
indicate bv her own features and form the
promise of the future! But whether our
friends prediction proves true or false the
blessed fact remains that The mountains are
full stored with the precious snow which shall
feed the rls that flow toward the plains where
dwells the husbaudman and where Craze the
