services is' shown' by the large attendance
at nearly ail of the meetings. . The neople,
it is claimed,' are gettihe a purer, ideaiof
Christianity, and its relation to temperance
through r the influence 'of tneir teachings.!
All the teachers of the different Sunday
schools that have joined the Union " meet
together and are instructed by them every
Wednesday evening, which makes : them
better prepared to teach on the Sabbath. -

Mf. Editor An, extraordinary",' cor
respondent in your paper, a few days ago,
said that "no astronomer ever taught that
the sun threw off worlds. Now let us see.
In 1655 Kant outlined a system which sup
posed an immense nebulae condensing and,
throwing off worlds from its periphery, the
condensing sun being the centre, and con
trolling all. 7 Hetschel seized the thought:
and moulded it into better form. Liapiace,.
who was j contemporary with Herschel
grasped the idea, and assuming the exist
ence of "nebuto filling space equal to the
solar system," he fancied "that system to
have. been1 "evolved by the operation, of
natural forces,- out of that nebulous' mass."'
; But to make snort worse, ana not to quote
from many others, I give Prof. Winched
statement. He says, after: exhibiting the
matter of the solar system ririnaTrrxi8t-,
ing as an intensely hot vapor, so attenuated
as that several cubic miles , ot such .'fire-
mist" condensed would only weigh a grain,
"the cooline and contracting of this vapor
inaugurated a rotation which was inevita
bly accelerated to such an extent that a
peripheral ring was detached which became
planets in due succession, the present sun
being the residuum of the mass. ?Also,
Prof. Wells, eminent as a scientist, says:
"The cooling and contracting of this mass
of vapor, under great rotatory motion, by
the centrifugal force threw off rings.' Such
detached masses formed themselves into
single planets, or, like the' great original
sphere, into planets with satellites and
rings, until finally the principal mass con
densed itself into the sun. which still occu
pies its original position as the centre of the
system, and as the largest body."
Now the relative sizesof the mem
bers of the solar system are as yet only
approximations to ' the ' real. i Some of
the best astronomers say that "the, aun is
only five hundred times greater than
all the planetary matter around him.
Others say" six hundred, and still others
seven hundred and fifty. UAH these may
he taken with due -allowance. . In making
t statement of these relative sizes, .we may
make a mistake and wrong impression un
less .we state it all; that' is, that while the
diameter of the sun is one ' hundred times
greater than that of the earth, the sun is
only one fourth as dense as the-earth.
A grown-up "school boy ought to wait
until he reads and studies more. I believe
your first correspondent wrote only to Stim
ulate young people to bear Prof. Proctor s
lectures. A Gkhtlemau. .
