THE DIVINE ARCHITECTURE.
Thank God for the wealth of mollusks all
up and down the earth, whether feeding
! the Israelites on their way to the land flow
ing with milk and honey, or, as we are bet
ter acquainted with the mollusks, when
flung to the beach of lake or sea- There are
| three great families of them If | should
| ask you to name three of the great royal
/ families of the earth, perhaps you would

univalvc or shell in one part the bivalve,
or shell Of two parts, and the multvalve,
or shell in many parts, and see God in
/ their every hinge, in their every tooth, in
| their every cartilage, in their every liga-
ment, in their every spiral ridge and III
their every color prism on prism, and their
adaptation Of thin shell for still ponds and
thick coatings for boisterous seas. They
all dash upon me the thought of the provi-
dental care of God.
/ What is the use of all this architecture Of
( the shell, and why is it pictured from the
outside lip clear down into its labyrinths OF
constructions Why the infinity of skill
and radiance in n she'll? What is the use

to light only IN innitesimal part of the
upulcnce in the great subaqueous world.

Gently for them. will he not see that You
have wardrobe and shelter? Wardrobe and
shelter for a periWinkle! Shall there not be
wardrobe and shelter for man? Would

grass the field instructs me to draw the
same lesson from the shells.
