subject propose to commence at the
first rudiments. have long since learned
that to solve problem in mathematics
in order to be successful, i must commence
at first rudiments. Therefore in aIlud-
ing to the above subject shall endeavor
40 do so.
Most scientists at the present day COM
mence at the natural sun of this world,
which consider about the middle of the
great principle of science. and thus so
many infidels; for allow me to make this
very broad assertion that no truth has
ever yet been discovered by self derived
intelligence, for that very principle was
the partaking of the forbidden fruit
through which cursed the whole human
race.
l firmly believe there are two worlds
/ the natural and the spiritual: and that
there are two suns in the spiritual world,
there is sun of pure love, in the midst
of which is Jehovah God. The sun of
the natural world is pure fire, and
through the instrumentality of the spir-
. itual sun the natural sun warns and in
vigorates the earth. and hence fruit,
vegetables and seeds are produced; all
these according to true, scientific princi-
ples. All nature in herself is dead, and
is made alive by the spiritual sun, which
is pure love, in the midst of which is Je-
hovah God, which is the only source of
life in all animated nature; it is freely
given in its purity, but am sorry to say
that large proportion of our race on the
reception of that life. Immediately per-
vert it into evil and hence infidelity and
yarious kinds of wickedness in high
places as we'll as in low. But more par
Eticular to the subject above alluded to. 1
shall not enter into it in detail for it en-
braces millions upon millions, in fact it
is subject that never eau be fully com
pretended by finite minds. Therefore, as
man is the noblest work of God l will en-
deavor briefly to speak.
The inspired writer asserts that man Is
fearfully and wonderfully made. The
bones by their joints and solidity form
h9foundation of this fine machine, the
|ligaments are strings which unite the
parts together; the muscles are fieshy
Substances which act as elastic springs to
.put them in motion. The nerves which
are dispersed over the whole body con-
hect all the parts together; the arteries
Ind veins, like rivulets, convey life and
health throughout the heart, placed In
The centre is the focus where the blood
collects, or the acting power by means OF
|wkich it circulates and is preserved. The
lungs by means of another power draw
in the external air and expel hurtful vap
brs. The stomach and intestines are the
magazines where everything that is re
luired for the daily supply is prepared
The brain, that seat of the soul,is FORMED
'in manner suitable to the dignity of it
nhabitant; the senses, which are the soul
ministers, warn it of all that is necessary
Tor its pleasure or use.
Adorable Creator! with what wonder
ful art thou hast formed us. Though thu
heavens did not exist to proclaim thy
glory my own body might convince M
that thou art God of unlimited wis
dom and infinite goodness. The econom.
of the human frame when seriously con
templated has tendency to excite ad
miration and astonishment, and to i'm
press us with sense of our continual de
bendence on superior power. What al
immense multiplicity of machinery mus
be in action to enable us to breathe, t.
feel or to walk. And is it man that gov
erns these nice and complicated move
ments: Did he set the heart in motion o
endue it with the muscular force it ex
erts, and when it has ceased to beat, cal
he command it again to resume its funC
'tions? Can anything more strikingl

interrupted and our bodies left to crun

All the matters alluded to above Ca
easily be seen by the light of tue SC
sence. A few brief reflections and I wi
