Again Amos esw, Rs We must see, that
the God who made these two groups Of the
text was the God of light. Amos saw that
God was not satisfied with making one
star or two or three stars, but he makes
seven, and having finished that group Of
worlds makes another group, group after
group. To the Pleisdes he adds Orion.
1t seems that God likes light 80 well that
He keeps making it. Only one being in
the universe knows the statistics Of solar,
lunar, stellar, meteoric creations, and that
is the Creator himself And they have all
been lovingly christened, each one a name
as distinct ss the names Of your children.
He telleth the number of the stars; he
calleth them all by their names" The
seven Pleades hsd names given TO them,

Again Anos saw, as we must see, that
the God who made these two srchipelaGoeG
OF stars must be an unchanging God.
