In the h iff her orders of anlmtiU the olr-

with pulmonary sacs or embryonic lungs;
and reptiles, birds and mammals possess
complete pulmonary organs or lungs, more
or less fully developed according to their

that the color of the blood is more or less

the waters when there was no or
ganic life upon the globe. The Bible in
forms us that in the beginning of the sec
ond Mosaic day God caused the dry land
to “appear” and called it the “earth,”
after which He commanded the first, ap
pearance of life in the form of vegetation
on the land.
Geology tenches us that for a time after
the first upheaval, the intense universal
heal must have precluded life upon the
glowing land or within the boiling ocean,
and that organic existence was impossible
unlil after a cooling period had elapsed.
Thus the one confirms the other, and
each establishes the fact of an azoic age.
Philosophy now speaks to corroborate
both the Scriptures and geology in their
agreement, as 1 have shown, upon the
place in which appeared incipient life.
Earth radiates heat more rapidly than
water does; therefore, the land must have
cooled more quickly than the sea and
earlier become adapted to organized life.
Physiology also rises to confirm the Bible
as to the form in which life was first made
manifest by demonstration of the fact
that, “the animal kingdom is wholly de
pendent upon the vegetable for its sub
sistence.”
Geology comes forward again in further
once of countless globules, or disks, called
corpuscles; anil n chemical analysis shows
that the greater or less vividness of color
is produced !>v the greater or less quantity
of oxygen, temporarily present, hi its com
position. Two things are essential to color
—the corpuscles arid the oxygen. The ox
ygen is derived from two sources—from
tlie water, by means of gills and branebite,
in aquatic animals; from the atmosphere,
through the lungs ofland animals and am
phibians.
Let us, now, examine the blood of a
human being. It consists of a liquid
plasma, or serum, containing fibrin and
certain minerals, in solution, and countless
myriads of corpuscles, red and white, in
tlie proportion of one white to three or
four hundred red disks. These disks are
so small that 3500, laid side by side, would
not measure more than an inch in length,
and so thin that IS,000, laid one upon the
other, would be required to measure an
inch in height. These corpuscles fill the
blood and give it color; but they are not the
blood any more than that myriads of
fishes, no larger than grains of sand, filling
a brook to its surface would lie the water
of tlie stream. This is the “blood, which is
tho life;” or, in literal language, this is
the medium purified by respiration, upon
dered. The son he was so fond of was
about to marry, and the father, delighted
with his choice, said to the young girl:
“Ask of me anything, for I am glad to
have so sweet a daughter.” With all in

for me one of those wonderful necklaces
such as only you can make.” The poor

graphite and the iron, ol' eozoic .ime, ns

And, finally, chemistry furnishes the
climax of proof, confirmatory of all the
rest, by showing that graphite is carbon,
the product of vegetation alone, and by
formulating the reaction to which is due
the existence of iron ore. To illiistrat-

the character of the circulation varies in
different animals, according to their scale

man, the circulation is double and the
blood is warm; in ail lower orders the
circulation is single and the blood is cold.
Now, let us examine double circulation,

Hcienoe corroborates i lie Scripture account
of incipient life, in time, place and form.
“The earth,” which had been separated
from the waters, “brought forth grass and
herb, yielding seed after its kind, and the
tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself
and tlie evening and tlie morning
were the third day.”
Organic life began in tlie third epoch,
according to the Bible and according to
geology : First, chaos: second, azoic time;
third, the eozoic period, or the dawn of
life.
(I may remark here, incidentally, that
the Scriptures in iliis connection furnish
conclusive evidence to rebut the assump
tion that all tilings were created within a
period of six litoral days. For it was not
until the fourth day when the Bible de
scribes tlie uppearrunec of the “lights in
the heavenly nrimment;” and since the so-
called circuit of tlie sun is tile measure of
a literal day, the first three days men
tioned ouuki not have been literal, because
the sun had not appeared, lo mark their
limits. Does not tir.s faot settle the ques
tion?)
in Hi. first period light had appeared
struggling through the steamy clouds and
piercing the thinner stratus, that nowhere
showed a perfect break, and that light was
sufficient to permit life in the lower orders
of vegetation ; but the sun, the source of
that light, could not show his face until in
the fourth epoch, or creative day—the
cooling process had resulted in the reduc
tion of the vaporous mass ami its disper
sion into Individual clouds, l'nen the rays
of the sun streamed down wit : vivifying
power upon laud and sea, and animal life
was possible.
So in the fifth creative day, beginning in
cezoic time, animal life began “in tlie
waters," as both the Bible and geology
affirm.
The earliest fossil remains are revealed
by the microscope in the serpentine mar
bles of the Lanventian formation. These
are the shells of mollusks, called rhizopods
or “root footed” from the stems, by which
it is supposed that they attached them
selves to the marine rocks. If any animals
existed before them they must have been
protoplasms and shelless, boneless mol-
lttsks, whose remains have been com
pletely dissolved.
Thenceforth, allo wing for the true mean
ing of mistranslated words, tho parallel
between the life progression oi the Bible
nml of geology is substantially perfect.
From the diatoms and aquatic ami semi-
aquatic plants and rhizopods of eozoic
time, to the bivalves null univalves, the
radiates, crustaceans and fishes with
the carboniferous plants of the paleozoic
or old life age; the snurians and other rep
tiles, tin. insects and birds of the inesozoie
or middle life period; mid down to the
mammal of the eenozoic or recent life
epoch culminating in man.
In the study oflife, there is one striking
characteristic that arrests our attention at
the beginning. It is circulation. Although
the modern discovery of t his fact was made
by Harvey only 2(17 years ago, the student
of to-day cannot fail to notice it at the very
commencement of his investigations. In
deed, the principle of circulation appears
to be universal. There are, doubtless, mag
netic currents in the earth.
There are certainly currents in
the sea, preventing the stagnation
of the oceans; there are currents in the at
mosphere, purifying the air,adjusting tem
perature anil distributing rains; there is a
circulation in living plants, and it is easy
iopti.-.-o that the same phenomenon be
longs to animals of every kind. The circu
lating fluid, in a tree, is called the sap; in
an animal, it is called the blood. The ex
udation of sup from a severed bough in
spring, shows that the sap is rising—the
circulation is upward; the absence of moist
ure at the cleft, In autumn, proves that the
drainage is away from the break—the sap
is falling, the circulation is complete. The
exudation from. the stump of the insect’s
sundered limb proves the circulation of
the vital fluid, the internal pressure which
produces the exudation is constant, t he
circulation is perpetual. This vital fluid is
the blood, colorless, it is true, and slow of
movement, but it is, nevertheless, the in-
pulmonary artery into the lungs, where it
receives oxygen from the air which is inhal
ed into the thousands of cells'permeated
in every direction by the minute branches
into which the pulmonary artery is
divided. Being thus thoroughly aerated
and changed to a bright crimson or scarlet
color by thejoxygen absorbed, the blood is
returned through the pulmonary veins to
fail to perceive that j the left auricle of the heart. Thence it is
driven into the left ventricle, whence it is
thrown by a powerful force-pump action
through l he great aorta into all tho other
arteries to be carried throughout the sys
tem and finally returned to the heart’by
the veins.
In double circulation the movement of
the blood is more rapid, respiration is
more frequent and purer air is essential.
In animals, whose circulation is single,
the heart has only one side completely de
veloped and the full process, which I have
| just described, does not take place.
| In single circulation the movement of
the blood is less rapid, tlie respiration
! loss frequent and less oxygen is needed,
since the animal is by the natural ar
rangement of it.s physical organs less af
fected by tile carbonic acid in Hie blood.
Such animals, though exceedingly tena
cious of life, n ■ illustrated in the reptiles,
are snid to lie of low vitality. The; can live
in an atmosphere that would suffocate
man, and hence they appeared in creation
before the advent of the mammals.
So mueli for the blood, tlie visible - ”e-
dium of life and that which is life, to the
eye. But where is the real life? Physi
ology corroborates tho Bible In the phases
and functions oflife which it porti'iivs, as,
for example, in the wise man's poetic, pic
ture of senility and death. But in what
tangible shape is life itself to be found?
Physicians and anatomists have learned a
great deal, and scientific investigators have
discovered much, but who has grasped and
handled life? That locomo'ive yonder does
not draw the train that follows it. it is a
subtle influence manifested in tlie expan
sive power of steam that moves the pistons,
turns tlie driving wheels, impels the eti
gine and draws the train.
Go to the mavblewovks in your city and
study that beautiful little gas engine. So di
minutive that you could almost set it upon
this small table at my side. Does it drive
the machinery? No. An invisible in
fluence manifested in successive explosions
of common illuminating gas drives the pis
ton, turns the band wheel and moves all
the machinery.
What moves that horseless*ear devoid of
steam along yon city street? Where isthe
traction? is it in that rod that reaches to
the wire overhead? Or is it the lifeless
metal of the wire itself? No. It is an occult
influence apparently generated bv the
great dynamo a mile or more away, but
really not to be fixed and handled even
there.
Vet we say tlie locomotive draws tlie
train, the gas engine whirls the shaft, the
electric motor impels the car. And so we
say, “the idood is the life.” It is a medium
set in motion by an influence, subtle and
unseen.
Influence implies a promoter; motion
involves force; euect necessitates
cause. Show me force constant
and uniform and I will show
you perpetual motion. And, verily, it is
seen in the sidereal system around us to
night. Show me a uniform, persistent
cause and I will show you a definite, un
varying effect. And, verily, it is seen in
nature about us to-night and all the time.
The medium is but the vehicle of the in
fluence. Show me an invariable, intelli
gent result due to an influence ever mani
festly the same; and I shall experience no
difficulty in convincing you or the exist
ence of an intelligent promoter, unifier
one’s self—homes which can never be fully
restored to the family, for home is some
thing more than the roof which shelters

past, the ancestral graves upon the hill
side-arc these nothing? It will take more
years than the most of us can afford to
give to build a new home and get into it
