ten to the commands for the work
Of the second day. Let there be a
armament in the midst of the wa
lcrs. and let it divide the waters
from the waters. Gen. 1:6. The
work Of the second day was wholly
devoted to the production of an at
moSphere and the arranging Of The
earlhs great pumping system by
which the waters of earth are taken
up in mid air and at proper times
return again in the form Of rain.
(ThiS system was put into operation
after the flood: Gen. 2:5. This
brings US to the end of the second,
another period of 7000sNearS. The
orders for the work of the third day
reads thus. LET the waters updcr
the heavens be gathered together in
one place and let dry land ap-
pear" Gen. 10, LET the earth bring
forth tender grass and herb yield
ing seed and the fruit trees bearing
fruit after its kind, in which is its
seed upon the earth; Gen. t:l1. The

Iupheavels became mountain ranges,
and as water drained of the eleva-
ed portions of the earth, low forms
ence. The evening and the morning
was the third day, another period
of 1000 years. The orders for the
fourth days work is heard in the
following language. LET there be
| light in the armament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs and for
seasons. and for days and for years:
and let them be for lights in The
armament of heaven TO give light
upon the earth; Gen. l:l4-15. We
are not TO suppose that the Sun,
Moon and Stars were created after
our earth, but rather that during the
work of the first, second, and third
day, enough of the earlhs rings,
which had it raped in impenetrable
darkness. had fallen So that the sun,
moon and stars were dimly visible.
The sun and moon are very valua-
bic to man in giving him days, signs,
and seasons. During this time the
atmosphere being heavily charged
with carbon, was very favorible to
the development of giant plant life
and these great forests Of vegeta-
