Rev. E. H. Harris, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, of this city, is preaching a
series of sermons on “God in Nature >> He
■delivered the fifth of the series last Sun
day night, and It was as follows:
TEXT.
The Lord stretchetli forth the heavens and
Iayeth the foundation of the earth, ami fbrmetta
the spirit of man within him.—Zecli. I2:t.
There is a spirit in man.-Job, 32:8.
The Lord God formed man ortho dust of the
ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath
of life, and man became a living soul.-Genesis
8:7. ' 1
The spirit of man is in hlm.-l! Cor., 2:11.
A spirit hath not flesh and bones. -■ Luke 2 4.3 1 )
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and
that which is born of the spirit is spirit,-John
8:0. ,
The spirit of God beareth witness with our
spirit.—Romans, 8:16.
These pussages of Scripture will consti
tute the Bible basis of the remarks I may
make this eveniug. I think they will be
found entirely consistent with, and con
firmatory of, nature’s teachings, with ref
erence to the ultimate object of all the
physical facts and processes thus far con
sidered. It is in this connection that they
will be taken on this occasion.
I have never seen a king, but I have seen
a palace, erected by a king. Not merely
an edifice constructed by the orders of a
king; not a building designed by a hired
architect and erected by mechanics, paid
out of the royal treasury; but a structure
designed by the king himself, and built
with his own bauds.
When Peter the Great ascended the Rus
sian throne, he found his country without
a navy. He rightly concluded that no na
tion could be fully equipped and no gov
ernment could be really strong without a
naval armament. Up to the beginning of
his reign, Russia had never been a mari
time power, and there were no ship
wrights in his empire. He immediately
resolved to supply the deficiency, and with
this view he left his government in charge
of his ministry and proceeded, in disguise,
to Holland, for the purpose of learning the
art of ship-building in person. Thus, for
a period, at Zaandum, and later, for a time,
at Deptford, England, the czar of all the
Russian worked at the trade of a ship
wright and acquired a practical knowl
edge of the business. Then, when he re
turned to his throne, he knew how to sup
ply the greatest want of his government
without the risk of imposition, and how to
direct the artisans he had imported with
him. And thus he may be said to have
built the Russian navy.
But the palace-building king, of whom I
have spoken, not only knew all about how
the work should be done—he did it.
And what a beautiful palace it was! Of
marble and ivory and gold; perfect in de
sign, in architecture and in construction.
And the grounds which surrounded it! who
can award them justice in description?
"They bordered upon the sea—the sunlit
ocean. They looked out upon the broad
bosom of the swelling main, sparkling in
the bright rays of the sun, as they streamed
■down from the cerulean sky, or surging up
Into dark blue heaving billows, with
snowy crests of tossing foam, under the
impulse of the mighty winds. The comb
ing breakers roared upon the reefs or
thundered along the snow-white beaches
of the sinuous shore, and placid waters
slept in many a bight and bay. Vari-
tinted, gorgeous clouds floated in the suu-
set, or the ragged storm-rack dashed across
the sky. In the background towered lofty
mountains, lifting their snow-clad sum
mits far up into the tenuous atmosphere,
or shooting aloft at night the red beacon
light from the sulphurous crater of the
bellowing volcano. Then there were ro
mantic glens and charming valleys and
lovely plains and sparkling streams, cas
cades and waterfalls, and crystal lakes and
forests wide. There were meadows, glis
tening with dew drops and gemmed with
flowers; there were umbrageous groves,
vocal with bird-notes and fragrant with
the odors of “Araby the blest —and the
perfumes oi Eden filled the balmy I an-
There was beauty everywhere. In every
quarter, too, outbuildings appeared adapt
ed to every conceivable purpose of utility,
convenience and luxury, the entire prem
ises being inclosed by a massive wall that
was a part of the foundation upon which
everything rested. And it was all the
personal handiwork of the king. But his
masterpiece was the palace, in the raidst
of the grounds, with its walls oi marble,
its columns of ivory, and its capitals of
gold. The apartments were finished m
the costliest materials, ceiled in satin and
perfumed woods, frescoed and tapestried

with statuary, and massive forms of luxu

doctrines, if true, would defeat Ood at last
by depriving Him of a purpose, which is
manliest, and by arresting Him short of
an object toward which all His conduct,
points. They would convict Him of the
most absurd folly and the most reckless
cruelty.
Taking for our guidance the patent and
reasonably clear revelations of nature, as
we have, oil former occasions, observed
and studied them, there is no possible wav
to avoid being led to the conclusion at
which we have arrived, viz., that there are
everywhere around us, to be perceived
unmistakable evidences of intelligent de
sign. It is not nebessary to prove this
again, to-night. And this fact being es
tablished, it necessarily follows that tin:
the designer must have had a definite ob
ject. It also follows that, the object of
such a designer as we have discovered, in
nature, must be reasonable, co-ordinate
and not transient. An evanescent object
would be out of all proportion with the
character of the design which we have
perceived. Why all the waste of labor
and skill and means, in constructing the
palace and fitting out the grounds, if the
son and heir is to perish for want of food?
The thought is monstrous and utterly un
tenable.
Nature awakens within us the conscious
ness of immortality. This consciousness
is universal. Study the annals of tiie hu
man race; scan the records of history back
to their very ibeginning; step thence into
tiie path of tradition and trace it back un
til lost in the hoary mists of antiquity; eve
rywhere in the world, in all ages and
among all tribes of men, you will find
worship—worship of a Supreme Being or
beings—of a God or gods. Why? It is the
natural, innate belief in a future state, that
suggests adoration—worship—of a supe
rior being. All men believe in a God.
Some have assumed to deny the fact, and,
yielding to the morbid fancies of a diseased
imagination a few have, doubtless, per
suaded themselves that that they do not
believe. “Tiie fool hath said in her heart
‘there is no God,’ ” says the Psalmist.
Many men teach it and preach it, who do
not, at heart believe it. Only “the fool,”
the man whose mental faculties are defi
cient, or impaired, can believe such a doc
trine "in his heart;” the man who is com
pos mentis never can.
All sane human beings worship some
deity; no beast has ever been known to
manifest the slightest disposition toward
sucli an act. Take the highest order of
the brute creation—and the siraioe, the
apes, arc not the highest—take that faith
ful animal which is, at the same time, the
most intelligent, of all and the nearest in
sagacity, friendship and affection, to man,
the Unite that will stay by his master to
the last, and even lick the hand that
slays him, and find, if you can, in all his
history, a single act of real worship. The
line of demarcation is drawn here, broad
and unmistakable, between man and
beast. An immortal principle abideth in
the one; it is totally wanting in the other.
The palace is the human body, the finer
materials in its composition being illus
trated by the marble, the ivory and the
gold; the outer buildings, of grosser com
position, arc the animals of lower grades;
and the son of the king is tbe soul that
dwells in the palace alone. The king, the
builder, is the the God, the Father of the
man, tiie Malter of the body, and the spir
itual Progenitor of the soul. Has God be
stowed so much care upon the body and
its mundane surroundings, and yet made
no provision for the soul? Is the tempo
rary residence of the son worthy of more
consideration than the future of the
son himself? Is tiie son really to starve
within the palace walls? to die, when they
crumble? and is that to be really the
end? This the ghastly teaching of the
iconoclastic deist of the materialistic
school, lifting his knobby head, with its
hoary, matted hair, above the scraggy
furze arc! brambles of aucient heresy,uuder
whose cover he has long striven in vain
with his dull, untempered tool of doctrine,
to undermine the encircling wall of eter
nal providence and break up the everlast
ing foundation of consistency, upon which
the entire premises are established.
3Can you conceive of such a God its his
doctrine portrays? Give mo, in prefer
ence, tiie doctrine s of mythologv-the be
lief of the polytheist or the pantheist—the
faith of the Persian fire-worshiper—of the
Aztec in Mexico-give me the voudoo wor
ship of the most degraded African, in his
noisome jungles—give me anything, rather
than make me believe in such a God.
Nature is a potent teacher—nature has
delineated tbe whole process of creation,
■den bv step, and nature indicates the pur
pose and the object of it all. And now,
hear agnin the Scriptural confirmation.
“God formed mail ot the dust oi the
ground”—the king built the palace— ‘ and
breathed into (man’s) nostrils the breath
of life, and (he) became a living soul —the
king was the progenitor cf that one for
whom the palace was constructed. . Ine
spirit is within the man”—the son is the
inmate of the palace. “A spirit batb jf 5‘ ,t
flesh and bones”—the inmate is of differ
ent material and distinct from the edifice,
which is his temporary home. Natuie
satisfies us that the Creator is intangible,
invisible—therefore a spirit «we under
stand tbe meaning ol the ter. . fbat
Spirit, natural consciousness tells us, is the
procreator of the separate entity that
Swells within the marble wails. “That
which is born of the spirit is rpnit, sayn
tiie text;—the king who built the palace is
father—the inmate is the son. “The spirit
of God beareth witness with our sp'rit

independence upon him. The pronipt-

liB A h t e th£ ent point God comes to the re-
lief of the human soul, and in the revela-
j lions oi iiispirai ion, provides that which
I may meet all needs, may supply all de-
| mauds. The unnihilatli pint is grossly
j wrong. The king has provided susten
ance for his son. Fragrant odors may find
j tree access to every apartment ofthepul-
! ace; the taste may he regaled with sweets
! aim in the sense of feeling there may be
delight; tiie souudsof music may entrance
and thrill; and heavenly orbs and clouds
and lovely objects, oil laud and sea, may
be photographed within and reproduced
on sensitive canvas, inside the garnished
walls;—but the king knows that his child
uud heir can find no aliment in these.
There is food provided for the inmate;
else wore the king a monster. God has
provided food for the soul and Ho has not
neglected to provide safe transportation
for the future removal and ample subsist
ence for the future home.
The object, then, ot all mundane crea
tion is plain. All tilings else have been
from nil eternity contrived and shaped for
the benefit of the human soul. For its in
ception, its incorporation, its aliment, de
velopment and growth, and for its final
attainment of glorious perfection in realms
beyond the confines ot the world.
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until tiie last few years wa-s
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catrrrli to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney «V Co.,
Toledo, Ohio., is the only constitutional
cure now on the market, it is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 trops to a t.oa-
spoonful. It. acts directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circular and testi
