Fair weather cometh out of the north.” While (ill tlm nations supposed that tho earth was built on a foundation of Bonin sort, and many supposed that it stood on a huge turtle, or some great of marine creature, Job knew enough foundation, astronomy to say it had no but was suspended on the in¬ visible arm of the Almighty, declaring that “Ho hnngt'th the earth upon noth¬ ing.” While all nations thought tho earth was level, the sky spread over it like a tent over a flat surface, Isaiah declared tile World to bo globular, circular, saying of God: “He sitteth upon the circle of the curtb.” See them glitter in this scriptural sky—Arcturns,' the Orion, the Pleiades, and “bear with her young.” Without tho use of telescope and with- outjany observatory calculation, and without that any as¬ tronomical I know the other worlds are inhabited, because my Bible and my common sense tell mo so. It has been estimated that in tho worlds belonging to our solar system there is room for at least twenty-live trillion of population. And I believe it is all occu¬ pied, or God will will be occupied, by intelligent be¬ ings. not 1111 them with brutes, He would certainly put into those worlds beings intelligent enough to appreciate grand¬ the architecture, the coloring, the eur, the beauty, the harmony of their sur¬ roundings.

His Yea, ns God made our human race in own image, He probably made the inhab¬ itants of other worlds in His own image; in other words, it is as near demonstration ns I care to have it, that while the inhabitants of other worlds have adaptations of bodily structure to the particular climate in in which they dwell, there is yet similarity of mental and spiritual characteristics among all tho Inhabitants of the universe of God, and made in His linage they are made wonderfully alike. pra'-tical result Now what should be the of this discussion founded on scripture and common sense? It is first of all, to enlarge our ideas of God and so intensify our ad¬ miration and worship. Under such consid¬ eration, how much more graphic the Bible question, which seems to roll back the sleeve of the Almighty and say: “Hast thou an arm like God?” The contemplation also encourages us with the thought tliat if God made all these worlds and of populated undertaking them, it will not be very much an overagain, for Him to make our little world and reconstruct the character of its popu¬ lations as by grace they are to be recon¬ structed. of ignorance that What a monstrosity people listen not the majority of Christian although the to the voices of other worlds, the glory Book says, “The heavens declare the of God,” and, again, “The works of Lord are great and to be sought out.” How much have you sought them out? lou have been satisfying yourself with some things about Christ, but have you noticed that Paul calls you to consider Christ as the Creator of other worlds, ‘by whom also Ho- made the worlds.” It is time you Christians start on a- world hunt. That is the chief reason why God makes the night, that you may » other worlds. Go out to-night and look np at the great clock of the heavens.

It was tbo night, of tho 12th and the morning of the 13th of Novomhor, 1833. Biidddiily tho whole bo forgotten. heavens became From the a scono never to constellation Leo meteors bogan to shoot in all directions.

All around the heavens explosion sights. followed explosion. filled with Hounds as woll All as The air uproar. tho luminaries of the sky soomod to have re¬ ceived marching orders. Tile heavens ribbed mid Interlaced nnd garlanded with meteoric display. From horizon to hori¬ zon everything in combustion and confla¬ gration, brain that njglil Mildly a gave way. It Was ah Awful strain on strongest nerves. Millions of people fell on their knees in prayer. Was the world ending, or was there some great event for which all heaven was illuminated? For eight momentous hours the phenomenon lasted. East, west., north, south, it looked as though the heavens were in maniac disorder. Astrono¬ mers watching that night said that those meteors started from 2200 miles above the earth's surface and moved with ten times the speed of a cannon hall. The owner of a plantation in South Carolina says of that night seene. I was suddenly awakens l by the most distressing cries that ever fell on my ears, Shrieks of horror and cries of mercy 1 could heal' from most of the slaves on three plantations, amounting in all to about six or eight hundred. While earn¬ estly listening for tho cause I heard a faint voice near the door calling iny name. £ arose, and taking my sword, stood at the door. At this moment I heard the same voice still beseeching mo to rise, nnd say¬ ing: “Oh, my God! the world Is on lire!” I then opened tlm door, and It is difficult to say which excited me most, the awful¬ ness of the scene or the distressed cries of the Africans. Upwards of 100 lay prostrate on the, ground; some speechless and some uttering the bitterest cries, but most with their hands raised, imploring God to save the world and thorn. The scene was truly awful, for never did rain fall much thicker than the meteors fell toward the earth. The spectacle ceased not until tlm rising sun of the November morning eclipsed it, and the whole American nation sat down exhausted with the agitations of a night to be memorable until the earth itself .shall be¬ come a falling star. The Bible closes with such a scene of falling lights, not only lldgety meteors, but grave old stars. St. John saw it in prospect, and wrote: “Tho stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as i llg tree oaateth her untimely ilgs when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” Wlmt a time that will be when worlds drop. Bain of planets. Gravitation letting loose her grip on worlds. Constellations flying apart. Galaxies dissolved. The great orchard of the universe swept by the last hurricane letting down the stars like ripened fruit. Our oi l earth will go with the rest, and let it go, for it will have ex¬ isted long enough to complete Its be tremend¬ enough ous experiment. But there will worlds left to make a heaven of, If any more heaven needs to be built. That day flndlDg us in Christ, our nature regene¬ rated, and our sins pardoned, and our hope triumphant, when we September, will feel passing no more through alarm than in an orchard, you through bear the apples thump and to the ground, wrMsst&’wss or a conservatory a "si story, a better lighted story, a better fur- nishel story, a better ventilated story, a better pictured story and into a story ^aBlSg to y-ou m 3 0 4he« r prSfit r s and and martyrs will pay you ccloHtial visitation, and where, with a rapture be- saws B&TSwrsaaw stories in heaven.” ■Ill HI Dill.
