There was great excitement one day

crime Of having attempted to bring u

To inc who has never studied the
mechanism of il watch, its handspring
or the balance wheel is Il mere piece of
metal. He may have looked at the face
of the watch, and while he admires the
motions of its hands and the time it
keeps he may have wondered in Idle
amazement as to the character of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show him each
part separately and he will recognize nci-
ther design nor adaptation nor relation
betw cen them, but put them together,
set them to work, point out the Offices
of each spring, wheel and cog, explain
their movements, and then show him
the result. Now he perccivcs that it is
all IL desien-that Notwithstanding
the number of parts, their diverse forms
and various offices, and the agents con
cerned. the whole piece is of one thought,
the expression of one idea. He now
rightly concludes that when the muin-
spring vas fashioned and tempered its
relation to all the other parts must
have been considered: that the cogs Oh
this wheel are cut and regulated
adapted-to the ratchets OH that, etc.,
and his final conclusion will be that
such a piece Of mechanism could not
have been produced by chance, for the
adaptation uf the parts is such as to
show it to be according to design and
obedient to the will of one intelligence.
