placed His creatures where the necessailes
OF life are wanting, but where plenty OBJ
tains. Behold, the provisions Of the chill

glory.
The other translation Of the word, name
ly, that of creatures, is too significant TO
ignore Not only is the earth filed with
the riches of God but II is filled with His
creatures. All belong 10 Him as His chill

Some love 10 serve Him. others not. They
are His and He loves them, though they

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 10 display His power,
that fresh evidence of His wisdom is con-
stantly being disclosed, and that the whole
human family belong 10 God, 10 be saved,
prepared for life and for immortality-to
whom be all praise.
