A Cohrmit Structure
. Suppose a temple rrented upjn
t h i? lot. The stone Ih from forty
different quarries scattered over
the known world. Each atooo
differ? in site, shape and color.
, Unloaded 'at different times,
when put together not a hammer
touched them, yet there appears
in imposing majesty, a wonderful
structure, perfect, sublime in
every ar. UU M i ,ir;,l detail; while
the mosaics spread every watl
outline a picture of the same per
aon. Would ft* he reasonable to
ruppoae n all an accident? And
would it he unreasonable to sup
pose that the individual whose
portrait was carried out in every
detail of construction might br?
the God of the architect who gave
I Instruction to every workman in
i the quarry?
I So this hook which 1 hold in
my hand, though its portions dif
fer widely and have been bundled
by workmen from manv lands
and climes, customs and Mines,
when put together constitute a
perfect picture of the individual
who claim* authorship and. must
be the product of one master
mind. Cenesis |M the foundation
and Introduces us to the beginn
ing of generation, the beginning of
degeneration, the beginning of re-j
generation, the beginning of a
pew generation. Revelation, the!
dome, brings us up to the finish
of generation, and of degenera
tion. and of regeneration and Into
the new generation. In Genesis
we see the heel bruised and
bruising. In R/velation we s e
the he.nI crowning and reigning.
Between the lieol and the h-ad
we see a bosom laid open by a
cross revealing a heart which
throbs and bleeds for humanity.

Why is it that there are no such

"All the rivers run into the sea

"Into the place from whence the
rivers come, thence shall they re

snds of tons of water are poured
Into the s"# every hour and yet it

"He causes a vapor to ascend

snd blindly have concluded that
man lias evolved from the lower
animals, passing through many
successive and progressive stages
before reaching his present shape
