Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1891-11-11

The following in quotations are
verses from Job 38th and 40th chap.
ters.
"Hsth the rain father or who hath be.
COTTON the drops OF dew"
It is evident from the foregoing
that God thousands of years ago
knew that man would produce rain
making instruments and hence in.
spired the writer of Job to produce
the above verse. It is evident that
both God and man affect the laws OF
nature to produce rain. Again God
is likely father of the laws that must
needs be disturbed to bring artificial
rain but does not always control the
means used to disturb them.
This proves that He lis not the au.
thor Of every rain, but that man by
means used is at times father of rain
"Csnst thou lift up thy voice to the
clouds that abundance Of water may cover
thee"
Does this verse refer to artificial
processes yet undeveloped but some
what similar to those used in the
western part of the United States
that are producing rain in districts
where it seldom rains.
"Hast thou an arm like God. Canst thor
thunder with voice like him.
Does not the last sentence of this
verse refer to thunder that accom-
panies rain produced by the machin
cry of rain makers. In an instanc.
in Texas where rain was produced b,
artificial process it lightninged anG
Numbered. In this case did not
man have an arm like God, and die
he not thunder with voice like Him
"Canst thou bind the sweet influences o
Pleiades or loose the bands of Orion.''
Does not this verse refer to math
ematical calculation in astronomy
By strong glasses and the figures o
astronomers cannot it be proven tina
each star of Pleiades is bound tn,
one to the other. Concerning Orio1
cannot the mathematics and glasse
of the astronomers loose her bands.
s'Canst thou bring forth Mazxeroth in hi
season, or canst thou guide Arcturus will
| his sons"
Cannot Astronomers calculate tn,
season Mazzeroth comes forth to tn
day and cannot they trace the rout
of Acturus and his sons before the,
have passed over it. Does not thi
verse refer to what astronomers ar
able to accomplish. And does no
the verso preceding refer to tn
same.
"Canst thou send lightnings that the
may 20 and say unto thee here we are."
1t is known that you can send ele,
tricity which possibly is lightning n
ferred to in the above verse that
may go and say unto you "here W
are" For instance erect circle {
ten miles Of telephone wire. Plac
a speaking ont phone in room an
a receiving phone alongside of i
Speak out through the forme
Here we are," and it will pass s
lightning speed over the circle An
through the latter phone saying
you, "Here We are" Does this vers
refer to the modern telephone or a
undeveloped invention.
"who can number the clouds in wisdo
or who can stay the bottles Of Heaven"
Science as yet has not develope
instruments to prevent rain or moi
ture. This verse may refer to an il
vention not yet invented. III {
does time will produce it and raj
will then be prevented by artificii
process as well rs brought.
"Out of whose womb came the ic-3 ar
the heary frost Of Heaven, who hath gel
dered it."
Does not the first sentence OF th
verse refer to the modern ice maxim
machine as we'll as the laws Of natul
that produce ice. Does not the laI
section Of the verso refer to artifici;
processes, explosives that produc
frost. 1t is evident that both Go
and man affect tho laws OF nature
produce ice and by other methods a
feet nature to produce frost eve
the hoary frost of heaven.
