distinction between known facts

might be compared TO vast machine
In constant motion and composed OF
Suns and systems. Our sun hrs It's

II do not know that our solar system

system. There Is room Ia space for
millions Of such systems to exist and
still there voaId be as much space

occupied The laws OF eravitation
which hold the planets in place aud
maintain their relative positions are
BEYOND the comprehension of man.
The harmonious working together OF
these forces are facts bat nnexplain-
ed. Coming to our own planet, We
note the regular recurrence Of day
and night and calculate to . second

the sun. We account for the taking

In contacts with cooler air and is
again diverted into raindrops. We
reckon that during ceaselsss ages the
same water goes from land to sea
and from sea back to land. We
observe that there is no need OF
man, beast or vegetable for which
provision is not made. We have
learned that every species repro
