The first lecture in the M. E. church
course, delivered by Rev. E. L. Eaton,
of GAINESVILLE, last Wednesday evening,
was we'll attended. The subject, 'Bibli-
cal Bugbears," was, as the speaker
said. more to conceal than to reveal the
line of thought to be presented. His
thought was the oneness of God. The
argument followed was logical and con-
elusive, showing that science, with all
the progress it has made, has just
learned that Job was right when he
said He stretcheth out the north over
the empty place and hangeth the earth
upon nothing;" and where he asked
"Cans't thou bind the sweet influence of
Pleiades or loose the bands of Orion?'
Points were advanced showing the diff
ferent ties under which the finite la
bored to harmonic the phenomena
about him, and attribute them to the
infinite. He concluded by showing
that the ten plaques of Egypt, Gods
dealings with Jonah, His divine power
as displayed in protecting the three
Hebrew children from the flames OF
the fiery furnace, and the fire which
fell upon Elijah's sacrifice, were steps
taken by God to prove that he alone
was God.
