The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1891-06-10

nomlcal scales, to be found to weigh
nearly 1000 times y hvier than our
earth; a mighty furnace, its heat kept up
by meteors pouring into it e. fuel, a world
devouring other worlds WIKI its jaw
of flame. And the stars came est, those
street lamps of Heaven, those Keys OF
pearl upon which Gods fingers play
the music of the spheres. How bright |
they look in this Oriental evening Con.
stellations! Galaxies! What a twsnty.
four hours of this first week-solar, lu.
mar, stellar appearances. All this
Thursday and the adjoining nights en-
ployed in pulling aside the cIrtaiN OF
vapor from these flushed err pale-laced
worlds. Enough! "And the evening
and the morning were the fourth day."
Now it is Friday morning in the first
week OF the worlds existence. Water,
but not fin swimming in it; air, but
not wing flying in it. 1t is silent
world.
Can it be that it was made only 'cr
vegetables? But, bark! There is ,
swirl and splashing in all the four
rivers of Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel and
Euphrates. They are all a-swim with
life, some darling like arrows through
split crystal, and others quiet in darl
pools like shadows. Every thing, from
spotted trout to behemoth; all-colored.
all-shaped, the ancestors OF finny tribes
that shall by their wonders of construc-
ton confound the Agassizes, the Cuvi-
ers and the Linn@ases and the ichthy-
ologists Of the more than 5000 years
following this Friday of the first week.
And while stand on the banks of these
paradisical rivers watching these finny
tribes hear whir in the air and
look up, and behold wings-wings OF
larks, robins, doves, eagles fiamingos,
albatrosses, brown-threshers. Crea-
lures of all color, blue as if dipped in
the skies, fiery as if they had flown
out of the sunsets, golden as if they
had taken their morning baths in but
tercups.
And while am studying the colors,
they begin to carroll and chirp and coo
and twitter and run up and down the
scales of music that they must have
heard at Heavens gate. Yes. find
them in Paradise on this, the frst FRI
day afternoon of the worlds existence.
| And l sit down on the bank of the
Euphrates, and the murmer of the river,
together with the chant of birds in the
sky, puts me into q state of somnolence.
"And the evening and the morning
were the fifth day."
Now it is Saturday morning of the
worlds first week, and with this day
the week closes. But oh, what elm
acteric day! The air has it's population.
Yet the land has not one inhabitant.
But here they come, by the voice OF
God created Horses grander than those
which in after time Job will describe as
having neck clothed with thunder. Cat.
tie enough to cover thousand hills.
Sheep shepherd by Him who made fol
them the green pastures. Cattle super.
Tor to the Attorneys and Ayrshires and
Devonshires of after times. Leopards
so beautiful, we are glad they can moi
change their spots. Lions without thei,
fierceness and all their quadruped world
SO gentle, SO sleek, sc perfect. Look
out how you treat this animal creation,
; whether they walk the earth or swim
the waters or fly the air, Do you moi
} notice that God gave them precedence
of the human race? They were ere
