cnsnn Writ ton for Tun bVon, Life; What is It? nV II. ('. I'.MHRV. Now, even after having 6ald 60 much, my mind casts nbont anil finds other fields for thought, or in other words goes) buck to the time when in ages long past this earth was in its etnhryolic statu and was being elabo rated into an organized form. When the littlu monads lloating through etliere.il space, always in motion, and always exerting by tlio essence of life within tlieni, tlio power of attraction and cohcsiiiu, commence to assimilate and adheiv, thus forming a nebula which, partaking of the attraction of the sun, and it as an attractive body to which other particles of niaUcr wen attracted, partook of the rotary motion of the sun and as it passed through ethereal space, such other particles as were attracted to it did necessarily follow after and continue to collect. Thus a mass of matter was formed as a belt or ring around the sun, even as is now around Sat turn. Thou it was that "the earth was without form and void and darkness dwelt on tho face of tlio deep." The face was on tlio outer poriphyory, henro shaded by itself from the rays of ill' hum. Thus it passed around the sun, perhaps forages, until the con ditions were proper, when the belt was lent asunder by centrifugal force. Tlio rend was diagonal, and next after tho rend commenced to roll together in accordance therowith, thus changing its orbit angular to tho or bits of other planets. As darkness is attracted and light repelled, so by tlio j attraction and repulsion of the sun as ascioH it was all rolled into a globular mass, and as tho lend was diagonal, ho it roiled and the centrifugal force tent it away on a tangent farther from the sun until tho attractive force over powered and brought it back. Its mo tion decreased as it approached its up pellion or greatest distance from the sun, and as tho sun's attraction over came the centrifugal force, it turned on an olipso and approached Us peri helion with accolerativo force till past the sun when the . centrifugal force again carried it to tlio opposite end of thoelipse, thus having anclipso for an nrhjt H-ifh its polarity a(, njj angle IhWtvith. Thus" are the seiuons changed as the earth alternately pio sonls its opposite poles to tho sun. Now us nil bodies obey their own forco of gravity, so the earth, which at that time was u liquid mass, gravitated into a globular form, and as it passed from the ring or belt it underwent an im mense friction that by its inherent laws caused it to bo immeasurably hot, and thus for ages it only cooled by tho slnv, nieess of th; shade ps jt was contl'u.iaily presenting1 opposite por tions to tlio sun and by the indirect rays of the sun as its poles were brought less under tho diicot rays of tho sun. Thus in tho process Of time of unknown length gassos became il Unlimited and surrounded tho mass and by assimilation and commingling a crude atmosphcra was 'evolved. At length tho temperature becamu lowor, and by tho continual changes of as similation and elliminatiou and com minglingliugs of matter, water was produced and the atmosphere became very humid. Now as conditions were different the air became moro puro and cooler and tho matter held therein became more donso andsoparatod from tho air, and by tho powor of gravitation was precipitated to tho globo to bo again expelled in tho form of .vapor, to mingle with tho atmosphere, and again precipitated, carYyiug with it elements to minglo.with other elements and finally formed moro donso matter that began to rest and to form a crust on the surface of tho cooling mass, At length the crust wuh rent asunder by tho pent up gassos and thrown out to again settle back by its own specific gravity, to bo again rout and thrown out, to again fall back till at length on parts of tho globo tho crust or earthy matter for a longer time maintained its place, and began, as it were, anew, to assimilate and commingle tho dif ferent elements to form organic mat ter, and as the cooling procoss contin ued in tho fulness of time, all portions of the globo to a greater or less extont were covered with solidified matter. Kt ill tho internal heat and pent gusses continued tho convulsions and up lieav.iU. At length tho more solid port.ons of the surface for a time held their place, and in the lapse of time paria of the earth's surface having been raised higher than others or farther from tin" center, stayed in such posi tion, and the water over seeking its level (lowed into the low places. Tints "The waters wero divided from tho wutcis and tho dry land did appear." Tlio air was at first highly rarefied, hut as conditions changed tho air be came moro and moro donso and capa ble of sustaining largo amounts of va- j por that wero under proper conditions caused to rise and float through 0 ,0. air to a greater or less altitude, f'jms making a "firmament between. vi waters above tho earth and the. tntors under, or on the earth, and firma ment thus formed called heaven." Now after a lapse of tin-joof unknown measure, by tho action of tho tjletncuts of the atmosphere aid tlio elements of water in duo commingling and assimi lations tho e ssentials necessary to plant life were evolved. The first to appear j was a. mould or mildew as on a damp sunnco or a minute mass. Now, as all vegetation exist as such but a short time, and then dissolves and is passed into tho gasscs and minute particles, that are again taken into other and divers organisms. Now, all decayed bodies leave an ash, or in other words a dust or sediment that is moro or less of an earthly matter, so the first vege tation returned to the elements whence it came, except so much ashy its con ditions remained an ash. Now, this ash, having still the essence of life and the power of assimilation, again conies in contact with other particles in dif ferent combinations and mixtures, and other forms or organisms of a higher typo were called into existence. .So in the multitudinous changes continu ally going on, plants caino to cover tho eurth, and by and with that life giving essenco built unto themselves their especial form of life with the power to procreate and continue, un der like conditions their sameness and to continue to produce tho samo spe cies and genus. Hut conditions are not and were not always the same, and in after times different lives of plant life were evolved, and continued to bo formed till the earth's surfaco became clothed with verdure in all its multifarious and multitudinous forms and varieties, also under dill'erent con ditions and assimilations of matter wero produced forms that pertained to a life, in part, of a higher type than tho vegetable ; having a sense of voli tion to a degree; having power to ox-j piinu and contract, as is 01 ten seen 111 certain hinds of plants And again in tho process of time other types of life merged into existence ; wero fiopemte nndujMrt Horn tho vegetable kingdom, as tho niolusk, a typo of life of many and diver- of different formic and tpo 010.1, hivving consciousness in a very small degree, and having in some spe cies a feeble amount of locomotion, while o there movo only A3 carried and buffeted around by tho surrounding elements, staying wherever they hap pen to bo left till tho surroundings propel them from place to place. And other types formed and organized in such manner as to enable them to live in tho air or in the water, having jljV organs of respiration developed in such maimer that Ihey can Inhale either air oil Water, Mid to soparato tho particles of OillltVr one or the other and rotniri Mhlh as is necessary for their lcVjis, and exhale those particles which they do not require. All this time great changes wero continually going on with tho, earth, both inter nally and externally. Many and di vers of different genus of plants sprang into existenco by and with tho chan ges of the conditions of the earth. Tho verdure of tho earth in some places de veloped to immonso proportions, suit able to sustain life in largo and pon derous proportions, which, in turn, wero developed. In duo course of time great sauviaus appoarcd and oth er largo animals which are now nearly extinct, being too gross in their na tures to bo sustained except by the less refined food, for the earth has been all tho time becoming more refined. Animals merged into existenco having tho organs of mastication and diges tion, by which they wero to sustain their lives by preying on other forms, both animal and vegetable. Animal life now developed in a degree to a knowledge; organs of sense began to bo developed tho senso of love, joy, fear and security. Thus by tho over changing condition of life and its moving essence did and do evolve all types of life, both animal and vegeta ble. In tho process of time, after in numerable changes and evolutions, mau appeared, though having but a very feeblo typo of tho intellectual 01 gans. Now man is tho highest typo of lifo that does exist or can exist on tho earth, for man is the outgrowth of all the evolutions that have preceded him, ho having partaken of all tlio oluinontH that combined to tioustruut the earth, from tho jeast monad up to himself. And as man is tho culmination and crown of all things, and tho fulfillment of all life's evolutions, hit is tho embod iment of mind and is endowed with organs intellectual by which thought evolves and forms ideas, ami ideas Ex pand and multiply till they aro- em braced by physical action and brought into arlUlio form. Thus by the for- .tv.ttion of ideas (as in tho mechanical 1 urt) thoughts evolve and produco i other ideas to be again acted, thus . causing the mind to expand and 'pro gress and follow after a deeper search I into tho knowledge of things as they arc presented to the physical eyo, and I adapting them for use in helping the i intellectual eye to grasp after things 1 as yet unknown, and in the laps of 1 time the mind of man will, through tho medium of thought, be enabled to lay hold with still more Ktcnl jwwers the yet hidden mysteries of the tini- voio and uphold to tho world of mind that thought and intellect arc the prime powers of all things. or Cl.IMATK. We find by the ivvohttions of the earth on its yearly rotation around the sun that dilfeient portion of its sur face aro presented to tho moro direct rays of the sun', thus causing change of temperature, and those under the more direct rays of the sun produce different typos of lifo from those parts under less direct rays, both in tho veg etable and animal kingdoms. Also we find a difference in species of the same genus, as also of plants. Also yon will note plants and animals in one clime that are not indigenous of and to another clime, and are not found there only as they have been in some manner removod from their na tive clime. Thus it will bo seen that different species of tho same-genus of plants and animals were evolved un der somewhat different conditions, having a manifest type, yet holding to the fcanio genus. You need not pass out of tho north temperate zone to note tho different forms and contour of both animals and plants : a differ ent aspect is plainly marked as you pass farther from the isothermal line either one way or the other. You may notice that after a time tho samo species become more or less changed by a continuance in an adopted cli mate. Now as the differences in the same latitude and zone are so marked how much more are they marked in tho different zones. Now as different zones and climes, with their different conditions, evolved dill'erent genus and different species of tho same genus, so has iiimi been evolved of dill'erent species, and we find distinct species of the race in many parts of tho world. Although wo find at the present day man has adopted other than his mi iyo zone, yet lie bears a distinct type ol iusjiativity. It cannot with reason ho supposed that an Anglo Saxon was over a Chinaman, or a Chinaman was ever an African, or vice versa. OPI'OSI.VCl 1'ORfKS. ' From superficial observation of things there seems to the casual ob server to bj opposite forces in nil things: one to build up, the other to te:T down and destroy, or in other words, an: driving for good and the other for ill, and each force striving to gain tho ascendancy or 'to predomi nate over tho other. Ji'iit looking at things and their oonditibns'iu a more profound sense it Will lie observed that these forces aro not antagonistic, but are in harmony duo 'with tho other and suo really but ono' force, not striv ing to tour down but always to build up in ft more complete order of pro gression. All organirtions exist and hold their place for ttViuic by tho dis integration of other organisms, whoth or animate' or 'naninmte. As tho fruits of tho for'ent become perfected in their order, or- in other words, becomo ripe, they aro cast to to tho ground and sooner or later aro consumed and by their consumption other forms are perfected. Thus wo may learn that thai which we sometimes call destruct ion of things is only tho elimination of thoivpuits to bo again assimilated with others to form now organizations. To tho higher understanding it can bo observed that to-day all things (taken as a mass) aro in a higher state of progression, Loth intellectually and physically, than in times past. Wo find remains of animals of vast proportions that have once dwolt on the land and in tho water in prehistor ic times, whoso species have becomo extinct, and others of cumbrous forms aro in like manner passing away. And why? lleoauso of tho grossuoss of their boiug they cannot now exist on the more refitud elomouts and must of necessity giv place to more refined orders. Mind, also, u improving and doing away with old devices, builds and re builds by change of structure, from good to better, by supplying in place of tho old device a new one, thus standing and old machine to ono wide till it may be torn in pieces and worked over into new and bettor things, more perfect and more effectu al. Mind also improvos on mind in like manner by advancing thoughts and holding them forth, thu butter to enhance the happiness f nun. While some l.d.it. 1 minds d not readily rmiw thu uv.v, but uwl Uiwm sacroligiom and riso in rebellion against them, yet in time the new saps the foundations ot tlio old and witn tardines tho new is accepted while the old becomes obsolete. Thus stop by step, by the inlluonco of tho essenco of life and its over changing power, man is still advanced towards greater knowledge V 0 we at tunes tutu tlio grosser 1 element Mo.n to U nt war ono with uv. i. ..... flc ,,.uf 11 great disasters, when towns and cities aro visited by storms of destruction, of wind and water. tfhall we say that it is an evil powor that is doing' all this? or rather that it is the effect produced by the obedienco of the elements to nature's law or to the law of their ex istenco? You oft s.c a cloud forming in thoatniosphcic. And why does it form? JiccauMJ tho air at that place, by a change of its conditions, has be come cool and tho humidity in the air condenses and tho air fills less space, and as nature abhors a vacuum tho air that is moro rarilied rushes in to fill the would-be space and in turn be comes condensed, thus causing more to follow, and in its hurry to fill in it tears or pushes out of it6 way what ever is not sufficiently stable to with stand its momentum. It matters not whether it be treo or house, beast or man, all alike are subjected to its fury. As the air fills in by moro or less op posite currents, so these currents meet and turn and twist, and by their motion together and the condensing of the water, electricity is intensified j and commences to dart from point to point as it has greater or loss attract ion, and as some currents of air be come .weaker others becomo stronger. Now the . surcharged atmosphere can no longer maintain its power over the forco of gravitation and tho rain be gins to fall, whilo the stronger cur rent of air carrius it for a time with terrific force over a portion of the earth and both wind and water com bine to delugo and destroy whatever may be' in their course. Tho clouds aro now surcharged with electricity and it, always seeking a nogative, falls to tho earth, rending whatever may bo between the two points of its com sc. Thus the storm continues in its course till the surcharged atmosphere is emptied of its superabundance of humidity tho electric fluid has be come ('(juah'zod the wind has spent its force Hie cloud no more cxiste tho sun looks down on the scene with bright enlivening rays the elements becorno calm tho earth travels on in its annual, path and its diurnal motion regardless of tho tumult that has just been enacted on its surface, and all things continue to obey that life-giving essence that is forever present.
