Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-05-25

| 1t is silent world. But bark! There is a
swirl and splashing in oil the four rivers
| of Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel and Euphrates
| They are all a-swim with life, some darting
like arrows through split crystal, and others
quiet in dark pools like shadows.
All Things That Breathe Created.
| And while ! stand on the banks of these
| Paradisaical rivers watching these finny
\ tribes, hear a whirr in the air and look
| mp and behold wings-wings of larks, robins,
doves, eagles flamingoes, albatrosses, brown
threshers. Now it is Saturday morning Of
the worlds first week and with this day the
week closes. But oh, what a climacteric
day! The air has its population and the
water its population; Yet the land has not
one inhabitant. But here they come, by the
voice of God created! Horses; cattle enough
to cover thousand hills: sheep shepherded
by Him who made for them the green pas
lures; cattle superior to the Aiderneys;
not notice that God gave them precedence
of the human race? They were created Fri
day and Saturday morning, as man was
created Saturday afternoon. What stu
pendous work for Saturday afternoon!
He must originate q style of human heart
through which all the blood in the body
must pass everyc three minutes. The soul!
All, the construction of that God Himself
would not be equal to if He were any the less
of a God Ayei Before night there we're to
be two such human and yet immortal beings
constructed. The woman as well as the man
was formed.
Gods Most Wonderful Work.
Adam was not three hours minated. Ifa
physician can by anesthetics put one into
a deep sleep in three minutes, God certainly
could have put Adam into profound sleep
in short while that Saturday afternoon
and made the deep and radical excision
without causing distress. Magnificent piece
of divine carpentry and omnipotent sculpt-
uring, but no vitality. A body without
soul. Then the source of all life stopped to
the inanimate nostl1l and lip, and, as many
q skillful and earnest physician has put his
lips to a patient in comatose state and
breathed into his mouth and nostril, so me-
thinks God breathed into this cold sculpture
of a man the breath of life.
What do you think ofthat one weeks work?
1 review it not for entertainment, but be-
cause would have you join in Davids Dox-
ology, because want you to know what
homestead our father built for His children
at the start, though sin has despoiled it; and
because want you to know how the world
will look again when Christ shall have re-
stored it, swinging now between two Edens;
because want you to realize something OF
what a mighty God He is and the utter folly
of trying TO war against Him; because 1 want
yoU to know how fearfully and wonderfully
you are made, your body as well as your soul.
Omnipotent achievements; because l want
you to realize that order reigns throughout
the universe.
The Omnipotence of God.
Every day since have been in this world
see the sun rise in the East and set in the
West. The North star stands where it did
the first time 1 saw it; the seven stars and
Jobs coffin keep on the same path in the
sky and never turn out. 1t isn't so with
mans work. He makes clocks and watches;
they may run well for awhile, but they get
out of fix and stand stock still. But the sun,
and moon, and stars keep on this same way
all the while The heavens declare the glory
of God. Yea,I preach this, because want
you to walk in appreciation of Addison's
sublime sentiment when he writes:
The spacious ornament on high
With all the blue ethereal sky
And spangled heav'n a shining frame,
Their Great Original proclaim.
In reasons ear they all rejoice
And utter forth glorious voice
Forever singing, as they shine,
The hand that made us Is divine.
