Rev. R. H. H»rri», pastor of the First
Baptist CKurch, of this city, is preaching a
series of sermons on "God in Nature.” He
delivered the fourth of the series last Sun
day night, and it was os follows:
TEXT.
"While the earth rcmainelh, seed time nnd
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and
winter, and day and night shall not cease."—
Genesis, 8:22.
“Who provideth for the raven his lbo<l?”
"God giveth to the'beast his food, and to the
young ravens which cry.”—Job, 38:41; Ps. 147:9.
“X have created man • * * and I
will direct all his ways.”—Isaiah, 45:12-18.
What is the clook-case for—of wood, o?
of bronze, or ormolaT It is not the clock.
It is provided for the protection of the
machinery inside, which is the clock.
Of what nse is the case of a watch? It
Is provided, by the maker, for the pre
servation intact of the dclicato time-piece
Inclosed.
What would be your opinion of the in
ventor of a powerful engine, of delicate
construction, who should leave it unpro
tected from tho weather, and unsupplied
with fuel and water for steam, or the
means for operating some other motive
power? You would naturally expect him
to provide all these things.
The etymology of the thrice repeated
word shows its meaning. It is from provi-
dere, to foresee. The maker foresees tho
needs of the clock, the watch, the engine,
and manifests his foresight, his provido-
encc—his providence—as indicated. Each
is equipped lor its own peculiar use, as
foreseen, by tho maker. And when we
examine tho eq ilpment we perceive, at
once, providence and purpose, both im
plying a constructor and a plan. This con
clusion in irresistible.
When we study tho geological conform
ation of t he earth, tiio relative disposition
of land and water, tho configuration of
mountain ranges and tho courses of
streams, wo discover the basis of a plan.
When we investigate atmospherical phe
nomena and tile eilbota of light nnd hint—
tracing to the latter tho storms of wind
and rain that denude the liiils and wash
away tho shores, removing the sand nnd
silt an l building up land, by the aid of tho
swollen rivers, the ocean currents and the
tides, the purpose is evident. When wo
observe the influence of the celestial bod
ies upon all these phenomena, and learn
that to those causes are duo Climatic ar
rangement and change of seasons, we can
not fail to perceive that there is a provi
dence in it all. Some of those planetary
and stellar influences can he measured
and understood in their effocts, uud there
are, doubtless, others of which wo know
little or nothing. Learned professors may
ridicule the notion of lunar influences up
on plants and animals -and I concede that
superstition has run wild in this direction
—but tho effects of the moon upon mun
with a shell; the nuked mollusk lives in a
rock, either natural or self-constructed—
or else it is shielded by Its slime or an'iuky
ejection, ftoin the assaults oi greedy ene
mies. Tlie crustucean wears a coat, of
mail, mid the lobster, having cast its shell
to accommodate its increased growth,takes
refhge in some rocky cleft until its tender
body is re-clad with carbonate of lime,ap
propriated from the sea waters around.
With shells, or hard, or loosely fitting
skins; with teeth, or claws, or spines, or
hoofs, or horns; by strength, or agility, or
swiftness; in keenness of hearing, sight or
smell; all animals, mollusk. insect, bird
and beast, are furnishod with means for
the preservation of life. Some live in wa
ter, or beneath the ground; some venture
forth only by night; but, in some way, all
are provided with protection.
Sustenance is also supplied, and the
means for procuring subsistence and for
assimilating food. The teeth are adapted
to the kind of food to be used, and by in
spection of these organs the anatomist can
accurately determine whether the posses
sor is an insectivorous, a fructivorous, a
graminivorous, a granivorous, a carnivor
ous, or an omnivorous animal. Whether
pointed, or incisive, or serrated or smooth,
or rodent, as in the squirrel, the marmot,
the beaver and the rat, the teeth indicate
the character of the food upon which the
animal subsists, and the habits of its life.
And so with the fang, the mandible and
the beak, in insects and in birdB. The mi
gratory instinct, too, directs the aDimal
where to seek its food. It is the popular
Impression that climatic Influences alone
prompt migration; but it is doubtless true
;hat the question of food supply is also a
latent factor in this phenomenon. I know
.hat one tribe of the family of scansores
migrates northward in winter, to the
beech forests of Tennessee, and the moun
tains of Kentucky and Vlrgininia. Should
the full moon come late in April, you may

Separated by au impassable lineof demark-
ation from all other creatures, he is lord
of all the earth. An impassable line, did
I say? Nature shows that hiB blood cor-
-pusclesare unlike those of any other ani
mal. This fact is known to jurisprudence
and the expert, with a microscope, can
determine whether tho blood stain upon
the suspect’s knife is really from the heart
of a slaughtered lamb, as claimed, or from
the veins of a human victim. And nature
has likewise set the mark of distinction
upon the very fibres of human flesh. It
was proved that the dead men of Greeley’s
arctic expedition had practiced cannibal
ism, when an examination of the undi
gested food within their bodies revealed
the striped muscles peculiar to the human
being. And the discovery of these facts is
due to scientists of the same school to which
belong some of the most radical evolu
tionists of the day. Strauge that they
should seek to obliterate the line which
nature has drawn around the man. i ... , —

Who has the right to prescribe their lim
its! or to say that, animal and vegetable life
are not affected at all? What means the
Biblo language: "Tho moon shall not smite
thee by night?” And if the moon atfects
why not tlie stars? What was Job’s mean
ing when he spoke of “tho sweet influ
ences of Pleiades and the bauds of Orion?”
It is not necessary to believe in astrology,
nor even to accent tho hypothesis that
there is a population of giant canal dig
gers upon the planet Mars; but it is neces
sary to believe that the Holy Scriptures do
hear overhead at night the we
voice of the white-backed wood-pecker
coming south! And during the nights of
the harveBt-moon, the dwlelers in the
country may bear the familiar voice of the
samo bird upon its northward voyage.
Nor is tho migratory habit confined to
tho feathered tribes. It is observed in
squirrels and other quadrupeds, in fishes
and in insects—notably in the true locusts
and some species of the butterflies. How
often have I stood, in autumn, and watch
ed tho flight of the yellow butterflies
through the pine woods of the low coun-
try! Flitting, Hitting, a ceaseless stream
of the little creatures, upon their unde
viating southeastward course, uway from
the blighting winter storms, toward the
sub-tropigal regions, where tho flowers
ever bloom.
Were my object merely to amuse, I
might speak for hours, of curious facts, in
this direction; but I seek tho principle in
volved alone, and I must pass on.
The movements, thus observed, appear
to be largely, - if not mainly, duo to a provi
dence which thus insures a food supply
for animals of every class.
Tlie facts, which have been stated here,
nre gleaned from nature’s teachings, and
they prove the Scripture afllmmtioa that
“God giveth to the beast his food and to
the young ravens which cry.” Wcdiscov
er, also, that every animated creature is
provided with a digestive apparatus ad
apted to its peculiar needs. In all, tho ar
rangement is patent—from the four divis
ions to be observed in tho ruminant, to
tho single organ of tlie purely carnivorous
animal. Now, in order to find the princi
ple involved, let as examine the process of
digestion, as exemplified in man, au om
nivorous uniiual furnished with two com
partments, one for farinaceous and albu
minous matter, and the other for the fats
nnd oils. During mastication and deglu
tition, ptynlin, from the saliva, converts
starchy matter into sugar, and the pepsin
of the gastric fluid, flowing from the walls
or the first chamber, dissolves the albu
men in the food. Then, in the next com
partment, another agent, pancreatin, ap
pears, transmuting carbonaceous matter,
producing an oleaginous emulsion, and as
sisted by the bile, converting the chyme
into chyle, prepared for transmission into
the small intestines, and thence for distri
bution through tho blood.
This, in its main features, is the modus
of digestion to be observed in all animals—
and, Indeed, a similar process iB perceived
even in plants. But the providence does
not end here. It is manifested in nnimals,
as in plants, by the arrangement made for
perpetuation of spo :ies. Among preda
ceous and warlike birds and beasts, armed
with strong, sharp talons and beaks, or
fangs, or otherwise equipped for battle,and
not indulge in idle words. And nature de- i ftmon S th ise whose instinctive ingenuity
. . . r , . . ... 1 nfnnai*t>o n*>«'a nn.I Hr>-»ei in nln/utc r\i unmi
clares that there is a providence, man ill:-it
and suggested, within its own aura, and
from without, t hat meets all the needs of
tho earth. To inquire how, is at present
speculation; but the purpose is proclaimed
in matter, aud tho propheov of the first
passage in the text, is shown fulfilled.
ThtiB is the earth fitted for the life which
exists upon it.
But wo are not compelled to search In
the Bible for evidences of a providence.
By something it is made; somehow it ex
ists; no matter how—it is manifest to the
most casual observer.
AU vegetation receives the benefit of
this providence. In latitude, climate, sea
sons and food supply,each plant is provided
for. And there is evident a special provi
dence for vegetation, peculiar to itself.
The tree is furn.shed with a co it of bark
for its protection. In addition to tho tap
root, which secures stability, and the lat
eral roots, which brace the stem and furn
ish viaducts for the transmission of sap to
the trunk, (he tree is supplied with a mul
titude of fibrous roots, each terminating
in a spongiole, by means of which nutri
tive moisture is absorbed from the soil.
And the tender roots of a plant will pene
trate and permeate hard clay and slight
crevices in rooks and oven prize up heavy
flagstones, in forcing their way beneath
the pavement of the city street. The buds
are protected against the rigors of winter
by an armor of plated scales, more or less
complete and compact, according to tho
nature of the plant, the latitude in which
it grows, nnd tho prospective intensity of
the cold. The seed, too, is shielded by a
husk, or pod, or shell, more or less volum
inous, or thick, or dense, according to the
circumstances just mentioned. It maybe
called a superstition, but there are hnu-
dreds of honest men who will vouch for
the asserted fact that the thickness of an
average corn husk, for instance, is nil in
dex of the degree of severity to be ex-
§ ected in tho winter which follows its pro-
uction. But be this as it may be, it is
an unquestioned fact that the seeds which
are to lie for the shortest time before ger
mination are leas thoroughly protected
than those which nre to await the distant
springtime, through a protracted period of
frosts aud chilling sleets. And, in many
other ways that I have not time to men
tion, there is clearly manifest a providence
for the sustenance, the preservation and
the perpetuation of plants.
The purpose, too, is shown in nature’s
teaching. As heretofore observed, physi
ology proves that all animals are, in the
ultimate, dependent upon tlie vegetable
kingdom for subsistence. The purpose,
then, is plain. And now, the Bible speaks
in confirmation of what science has
taught: “To every beast of the earth, and
to every fowl of the air, and to everything
that creepeth upon the earth, wherein
there is life, I have given every green
herb for meat.”
From some source, no matter what, so
far as the argument is concerned, there
has been, and there is made manifest a
special providence that meets tho needs of
of all inanimate nature, and uo intelligent,
thoughtful mind can doubt it. And the
evideuces of such a providence are not less
clearly exhibited with reference to the
animated creatures of this earth. But lit
tle study is required to confirm tho fact
that all animals, from the lowest
forms to the highest, are furn
ished with the means for self-pro
jection or defence. The oyster is provided
prepares nes'a and dens in places of secu
rity, tho young remain for a time after
birtli, with eyes fwt closed; while among
those that la :k such means of protection,
the young are found with eyes wide open
from tlie first. The callow eaglet is at first,
blind and helpless, while the infant quail
is able to see an enemy and flee to a hiding
place from tlie moment in whicli it breaks
its prison shell.
The wide-eyed helpless yonng of the hu
man kind are only an apparent ex -option
to this rule. The tenderness nnd intelli
gent protection of human parents mare
than compensates for every seeming want.
In this department of nature everything
la provided for Fishes adapted to life in
the ocean, such as the shad, and mine oth
er kinds, arc enabled to run up fresli water
streams to spawn; tho “didapper" of our
country, a bird similar to the European
grebe, which from the penguin-like posi
tion of its feet, is helpless on land, build:)
its nest upon a floating raft, which it con
structs with consummate skill, and fastens
to a treo or snag in the water; the lurvto
of many land insects undergo their meta-
phoses in water, and the infant batrach-
lansoenis more a fish than a frog or toad.
Tho young of this creature breathes water
by branchue; the parent breathes nir hy
lungs. But this, as in the ease of aquatic
larvae, i ■ only au apparent, exception to the
rule of life. Tho embryonic frog soon
sheds its caudal appendage, its feet arc de
veloped, its branchiae disappear, and it
emerges upon the hank a perfect creature.
The evolutionist fails to find here the
transmutation of oue kind into another.
As the microscope reveals the outlines of
the butterfly beneath the caterpillar’s skin,
so there may be found within the fish-like
creature in tho pool the outlines of the
perfect frog or toad. But these animals
are not altogether singular in the respect
under consideration. Consult, physiology,
inquire of your trusted physician, and you
will learn that the young of other animals
pass through phases no less wonderful—
that the embryo often lives for a loug pe
riod without breathing at all. The devel
opment of the embryo into tho perfect
creature of its kind is not evolution, in the
materialistic sense. Tlie kind is never
changed.
Were my purpose only to entertain, I
should experience delight In spreading
out before you a marvelous array of curious
facts concerning tho habits of animals, in
illustration oi the various propositions set
forth to-night; but I must not dwell longer
here. Graver things demand attention.
We see the providence of something in
all the particulars stated and in many
more. Why should this providence exist?
For what purpose are the lower orders of
animals perpetuated and preserved? Na
ture answers, as experience lias proved,
“for the-benefit of man.” A plan is dis
covered, an intelligent put-nose is disclosed
and nature suggests a sentient power be
hind it nil. And now, in perfect harmony
with nature’s teachings,speaks tho written
Word of God: -‘Let man have dominion
over the fish, over the fowl, over all the
earth and over every living thing that
moves upon the earth.” “A great sheet,
wherein were all manner of four-footed
beasts and wild beasts and creeping things
aud fowls of the air; and there came a
voice: ‘Rise, Peter, kill aud eat.’ ” Verily,
all terrestrial things are for the sustenance
of the man. But nature reveals a physical
providence in man’s behalf, yet further
still. Omnivorous in his constitution, he
one blood all nations of men (who) inhabit
ail parts of the earth.” Alike in men and
distinctively their own. “All flesh is not
the same flesh, but there is one kind of
flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, an
other of fishes, and another of birds.” The
evolutionist finds tho distinctions sharply
drawn between all the classes, from the
phosphorescent body of the fish, to the
striated muscle of the man.
A providence similar to that enjoyed by
other creatures, is to be observed m behalf
of man—only more extensive and elabo
rate—for his sustenance, his preservation,
and the perpetuation of his species. But
what is the purpose of it all? Nature sug
gests the question; but nature cannot an
swer it. The Holy Bible alone, that book
which all tho revelations of nature have,
thus far, confirmed, declares the purposed
I once beard a distinguished minister say,
inasermon.thattheold catechism is wrong
in teaching that “the chief end of man is
to glorify God.” “I have created him for
my glory,” saith the Lord. The preacher
was wrong and the catechism is right. Na
ture’s question is answered and unpervert
ed nature is satisfied. And this man, whom
He hath crented, will he “direct, in all his
ways,” by the physical providence which
surrounds him.
Every proposition advanced to-night, is
sustained, as has been proved, by nature’s
revelations, and in their demonstration of
a defined plan nnd the laws by which its
operation and its purpose are secured,they
necessarily involve ull that appertains to
plan and law. A plan implies a designer,
a law, an enactor, and both certainty. Ac
cident implies uncertainty; chance cannot
be depended on for definite results.
The doctrines of genesis, from the acci
dental contact and cohesion of “fortuitous
atoms.” life and development at. random,
by “natural selection” or otherwise, and a
providence of chance, contains within it
self the elements of its own destruction.
Lot ua hear no more about fortuitous evo
lution of one creature into another, siuce
none but the overweening or the blind can
fail to discover on every page oi nature’s
book irresistible evidence of uniformity
and certainty, in sublime, proof of intelli
gent dc-'ign. Nature proclaims aloud, from
star and pianet, from cloud and mountain,
land and sea, and in the countless myriads
of iivin r organisms, a great, designer, om
nipotent and supreme. And the great
question that she propounds, to which the
inner consciousness of man seeks and sug
gests a rational reply, is answered in the
written Word: “It is God.”

competitive enterprise. But the seeming cruelty of implaca
ble ambition rebounds to the public weal, and where hun
dreds weep millions laugh in exuberant enjoyment of

The year has been crushing to that merchant, whether
strong or weak, whose hopes and aspirations were launched
upon the waters of unlimited credit which flows into the
maelstrom of destruction; but to the man who listened to no
argument but “cash down,” to him who laughed to scorn
that, army of shiftless, helpless, dead and buried,vnameless
class who live upon and destroy the good hearted- and inex
perienced merchant, whose faith in his fellow-man had never
been shaken—to him who used that ammunition that never
faltered or failed, the “Almighty Dollar,” with this two-edged
sword cutting both ways, making his profit in buying so as
l.o place his leaders and specialties before the masses at prices
that, would tell in language that would admit of no mistake
which was the master, cash or credit, to that man whose un
alterable and inflexible rule was to get the money down every
lime—it lias been a Marathon, a Marengo, a Manassas,
like Gray, the man that put the prices down, always loaded
down with honors, prestige and success as solid and lasting
as the everlasting Rose Hill.
