of "Design in Creation” and of
"Ganeral *nd Special Providence, ” u
they iUb . related not only to bcriptare
testimony, but to what wo now know
of the course of natural law in tbia
world. Ito view of tke fiimona Gor
man ocientUt, Haeckel, that the world
iwtdt no God, that it haa in itself pro-
virion for nil the phenomena that have
taken plaot, seemed to Mr. Beecher
not to simplify the problem of creation,
bnt to make it still more difficult toj
comprehend. Nothing in human ex-
C ilonee furnishes a basis for belier-
g*n the origin and progress of the
world of its own self without anr ex
ternal influence. The belief that back
of erery. effect there must be a cause
« has been wrought into the eery com-
oom sense of mankind, and Haeckel s
theory leases the origin of matter still
unaooountodfor. The origin of matter
and the existence of tendencies or laws
in matter seem inconceivable. The
earns is tine of the Divine Being, bnt
confessedly this is removed from hu
man investigation, which can only
take hold of that which has some rela
tion to the organisation of tbv mind
and body, and God has not. But we
gain nothing by excluding Divine in*
telligence and to include it smoothes
the way of investigation and is agree*-
able to the nature of the human mind.
THE DIVISE SATO HE.
It is easier to conceive of a personal
God, with intelligence, wiU and pow
er, than to conceive of a world of such
vast and varied substances as this per
forming all the functions of intelli
gence, will and power. The doctrine
of evolution at first seemed to destroy
the fact of intelligent design in crea
tion. So the agnostic school, which
s of the noblest spirits of
this is what the Bible said from begin
ning to end. It is what philosophy is
now beginning to explain. We can
not understand the divine nature so
exhalted above anything yet develop
ed inns, except ituswas rpon us when
we are ourselves, unfolded and rise to
such a higher operation as does not be
long to the great mass of the human
race. God is to be seen only by those
faculties that verge upon the Divine it
self and by them moral intuition does
oome with a certainty as great as any
that scientific investigation brings to
the senses of men. The question of de
sign in creation ie being restored in a
grander way. If adaption to special
uses was an evidence of divine design,
how much more ie it aneyidence of de
sign when we eee inch adaptations pi
eeed from a universal plan of dsvelop-
raent? Paley's celebrated argument of
design was illustrated by a man find
ing a watch and inferring from iu
adaptation to the purpose of keeping

time that it was tbe work of an intelli
gent being. Bnt suppose tbe sai
man should betaken to a factory where
thousands of watches are turned out
every day without being touched by
human hands, except to put the parte
together, would he not be still more
profoundly impressed by the evidence of
intelligence in the designer of the ma
chinery adapted to snch wonderful
work.
god's personal cask.
As to the special providence, no doe-
trine was more explicitly taught by
Jeeus Ohrist than that of God’s per
sonal care and inspection of individuals
and communities. If science should
overthrow this doctrine it would make
n serious breach in our faith, not only
in the Now Testament, bnt in the
divinity of Christ itself. Men said
that God would not set aside a natur
al law for the benefit of any favored
persons, family or community. They
say God works through laws of force
and never otherwiee. This is impu
dent. We don't know what God thinks
aor what He does. Some parts of Hie
ways have been let down within the
reach of our observation, hut not all;
and while we have no right to affirm
that He does, we have no right to af
firm that He does not. The popular
idea that natural laws are unchangea
ble, irresistible, uDControlable is an il
lusion. Nothing is gentler, more pli
able and usable than natural laws.
Obey them and they besoms yoor ser
vants. Natural laws are constantly
checked, directed, made inoperative.
They an satin conflict, one against
the other, and made to compromise.
We make wind and water grind for ns
and carry ns. Electricity, the great
bnffeom of the North in winter nights,
or flashing about in storms, the pyre-
techaica of the world, ia its untouched
state was useless and barren. Now it
doctors the akk, lights oar dwellings,
plays post boy, carries news in a twink
ling round the world. It has become
fruitful because the will of man learn
ed how to nsa it. Man can, by using
aot abusing or violating natural laws,
make of them providenoe for the ad
vantage or elevation not only of them
salves, but of those arouad them. The
inveation of a single machine may
change the industries and the destinies
of nations. Civilisation itself is bnt
a wise sabjeotioa of natural lawn by
human intelligence and will. And if
God cannot create a providence by us
ing, not abasing natural laws, then
He cannot do what the meanest
tares on earth can do in some deg
now ood wonns.
Ha can exert directly or indirectly
upon tbe consciousness of am that
which will make them enacters of His
own decrees. Some hold that God
take* ran of the system only and does
aot hood the incidental result*. Bnt I
hold that than is another teaching in
the Bible, namely, that all things shall
work together for good to them that
love God. In other words, I hold that
the lews w* have learned np ton cer
tain point are doubtless surmounted
by other and statelier laws which have
