which created matter put in mo:isn the
laws which reduced it to its orderly cen.
dition. Creation was begun by the opera
ton Of this power in cendensing the
gaseous fluid around common centre.

Of God moved upon the face of the fluid. u
The Hebrew word mayim commonly
translated water" means literally "any-
thing that flows" and therefore either
water or gas).
6. Science. All bodies as well 40 celestial
spaces are filled by an extremely subtle,
elastic medium which is called "luminif
srous ether" The luminosity or high,
giving OF body is due to An infinitely
rapid vibratory motion OF its mslscule,
or extremely small particles. which when
communicated to the ether is propagxted
in all directions in the form of spherical
waves and this vibratory motion being
thus transmitted 10 the retina of the eye
calls forth the sensation Of light aad vision
As soon as the particles Of the cloud mass
attained sufficient rapidity If motion
in consequence Of the law impressed upper

highest importance to science. II the con

2. sclsnce. This light was emitted befor,
the sun and planetary system took defin
tie and perfect shape.
T. The Bible mentions the creation Of ligh
sometime before il speaks of the psrfec
ton of the sun. As the sun is now th,
author of the light Of space scientist
eagerly advanced this statement Of III,
creation OF light before the creation of Thu
sun as a proof of error But scienc,
has finally moved 10 the support Of tn,
Bible upon this point, we perceive.
8. Science. Spectrum analysis tells us tina
the light frat emitted was not gosd-il
fact very imperfect-siv;ng only enc ban,
in the green and tive in the blue. instea,
of the brilliant rainbow which we now Sc
in the heavens. But when the bodies O

of the sun. Sun. moon and stars in thei
distant glory were completely eclipsed b
this flood Of radiance, so that so far as III
earth is concerned they might have ha
