Again, Amos saw, as we must see,
that the God who made these two
archipclagocs of stars must bc an un-

change in the stellar appearance in
this hcrdmanS lifetime, aud his father,

had been no change in his lifetime.

Again, Amos saw, as we must see,
that the God who made these two bca-
cons of the Oriental night sky, must be
"A God of love and kindly warning.

the storm signal, and said: Reef sail,

wings out" As the Plciadcs were the
sweet evangels of the spring. Orion was
the warning prophet of the winter.

lenicnt, SO imbccile that men may do
what they will against Him, and frac-
ture His every law, and put the pry of
their impertinence and rebellion
under His throne, aud while they
are splitting in Ills face and
stabbing at His heart lie takes
them up in His arms and kisses
their Infatuated brow and check, say
