III The Wisdom of Creation-"In wis.
dom hast Thou made ALL" Each kingdom
is complete in itself. How natural to think
! of the spiritual as being perfected and Of
the material as unprotected. This is true
! or not according to our understanding OF
the word perfected" 1t is wrong il by it
we understand that God has completed
one. and not the other. He has perfected
both, one for our life here. the other for
that life which follows this. There is a
most glorious display of the wisdom Of
God in the most minute of all His work
NO one Is capable of making any improve.
ment. He has made everything beautiful
in its season. A skilfu artificer when he
has finished his work makes thorough ex
animation to satisfy himself that it is well
done. Often it is found that some serious
defect exists. But when Jehovah had com.
pleted the universe and inspected it divine
wisdom pronounced it good. There was
no higher power to which appeal could be
made. The ages confirm the wisdom of the
decision then rendered. 1t is impossible to
think of any Improvement tina. would be
IN harmony with existing laws. In crea.
ton we can make no suggestion. in presei.
vation we are silent, and in the divine gov.
ernment amazed at the goodness and love
of God. I'm wisdom hast Thou made them

". The Extent of Creation-"The earth
is full of Thy riches or creatures" each
Kingdom being filed to overhcwing with
its own kind. No room for more animals,
for that kingdom is full. Nothing to add
to the vegetable kingdom, for it supplies
the needs of all living creatures The
kingdom oil God is also filled. Filled with
those who once knew nothing of its joys,
but were re.created bv the grace and power
of its founder. Its dimensions increase as
more room is required. II is not Door.
house. but palace. The Creator has not
paced His creatures where the necessares
OF life are. wanting, but where plenty OBJ.
tans. Behold, the provisions of the chill.
dren of God are within our reach.
Nor with necessaries only, but with
riches, dainties. luxuries, beauties and
treasures. In the earth are hidden mines
Of wealth, and on her surface are teemns
harv,ests Of plenty. All these are the
lords. ",The earth is full of Thy riches"
We should not think of them as the prom.
cry of nations, OF the possessions of indi.
viduals, but as the wealth of God. Not in
one cline are these to be had, but every.
where. The cold Arctic has its precious
things, which 1t requires great hardship to
obtain. The burning sun Of the equator
furnishes food that cannot be grown else
where. They all belong to God, but are
given us to use and enjoy for the giver's
glory.
The other translation of the word. name.
ly, that OF Creature is too significant to
ignore. Not only is the earth filed with
the riches of God. but il is filled with His
creatures. All belong to Him as His chill
dren. Some are obedient, some are not.
Some love to serve Him, others not. They
are His and He loves them, though they
NAV be dsloyal to Him.
The conclusion of our Interpretation Of
the text is that God Almighty created all
things, that the great variety of His handi.
work was imperative to display His power,
that fresh evidence of His wisdom is con.
stantly being disclosed and that the whole
human family belong to God to be saved,
prepared for life and for immortality-to
whom be all praise
