being temperance meeting under the
auspices OF the M. s. R. A. Thomas

Messrs. Sparks, Morrow, Stinson, Sam

These meetings are being productive
of much good, as already quite num-

The success of these meeting at Kings

the personal efforts Of Mr.. Thomas
Scott. They will be held on Thursday

~ Ii lmpOSblDl6 lot the uusCltutluc
mind to follow Prof. Quinton through
one Of his beautiful lectures, descrip.
tive of the worlds formation, and com
prehend aud retain all the truths he 30
wildly presents. A convincing proef
Of this will be found in the endeavor
to record from memory, an Ineligible
impression of what the Prof. accom-.
plished. The dsvout person hearing
him could not fail to be impressed with
the mightiness Of creative energy
could not fail to recognize evidences of
plan and purpose through the revolu-
tons, extinc,ions and requirements,
which the geologist finds recorded in
stratas Of earth and rock.
1t is possible that one sensitive about
death, would feel shock when asked
to contemplate the possible hundreds
of millions of individual lives which
have been a serving sacrifice to the par
pose of creation, a purpose, the attain
ment of which is never forgotten,
towards which the path is a straight
line. The Professors theme, "The
dawn of Life" brought his audience
face to face with records that are more
divine and assertions of more import
ance, in summing up the origin, pro-
gress, and destiny of mankind, than
ought that Is written in books.
A world developed by an ocean in
clouds above and of waters beneath con-
tending with eternal fires that heated
the surface arose in clouds of steam, to
condense, fall, and add their unceasing
but mite like efforts, to the great test OF
developing a world. Within this still
heated sea first came life, expressing it.
self in shapeless jelly-like mass, then
clothing itself in a shell like crust, then
wrapping itself about jointed, bony
skeleton, developing from floating
masses Of jelly to those clinging to
stems Of seaweed and coral, then to
those Of definite form and more extend
ed locomotive powers-from water
breathes to amphibious animals.
One Of the wonders of creation is the
utilization Of every succeeding effect in
preparing for the next to come; thus, the
rain drops cooled the heated ocean. The
minute creation seem only the mi
croscope to fill the oceans depths and
bring the land above the watery sur
face. small comprehension of the
mightiness of this task must give an
idea of the probable age of the world,
and of the teeming abundance of life.
The professor $ description of total for
nation and OF the prophecy contained
therein of the present condition OF man
kind, was truly eloquent.
The abundance of plant life, in the
sea, and out OF it had its fitting prede
cessor, and came in its time to afford
pure air and food for the mammals
which walked the earth in colossal maj
esty. In this lecture, the Prof. reach
ed the age immediately preceding that
of man, whose arrival and develop
ment will form the subject Of the mex,
lecture, being in fact continuance OF
this one.
