Professor Proctor's Idea.
In his last lecture in this country,
Prof. Procter gave his idea of Deity
deduced from astronomy.
"We come, he said, uto the conception
that there is in the universe, quite
fin.'ivt. from nil Lloac of (lo.l inlinitn
power. Wo have been led then from
the thought of infinite occupied space,
to the thought of infinite time occupied
by events, and now lothe thought
of infinite power; and yet all these
ideas are utterly beyound our
powers of conception. Why, then,
dismiss the idea oi a Cod merely hecause
lie is beyond our powers of conception?
The matnalist is right when
he says this or that doctrine is inconceivable,
but lie is wrong when he
says I will not admit it; the idea of
space is conceivable that sve must admit;
the idea ol infinite power is conceivable;
but, taking the view that infinite
space and infinite time are
brought to our knowledge, we must
admit the idea of infinite power.
''Why, then, stop short of the idea
of infinite wisdom and beneficienee of
the design of the Creator merely because*
it is inconceivable to us? It
seems to ine, then, wc may fairly turn
from this to the consideration of the
possible attributes of Deity without
being disturbed hv the thought that
n j o
the very notion of the Deity?of a being
infinite in existence, infinite in
space, infinite in time, infinite in power,
is inconceivable to ns. Why, those
very attributes that have been ascribed
to Deity are the things we have been
forced to see. We began with infinity
of space, and it is infinity of space we
attribute to the Almighty. We are
led from that to infinity of time;
thence to an infinity of power; and it
is by that we are led to the mere
physical consideration of the qualities
of the universe. Thus, then, naturally
we may turn to the thought of possible
qualities in the part of Deity aiul the
way in which, in some sense, his authority
may be exercised over the dominions
of the universe. Take for
instance, the senses by which we become
acquainted with the nature of
the universe, and Ictus remember how
utterly feeble those senses are; on how
narraw a basis we form all our concep
tions of the universe. There are five
feeble senses; only one of those senses,
the sense of sight, brings to us any
knowledge of outlying space; and that
sense existing only in two small pupils
which are to tell us of the universe.
We may, indeed, extend the powers of
the eyesight by means of trie telescope,
but then we, in point of fact, fl do
not use the. wnvd in no
... w ? ? v? <? m m m J VUV> J J PVU < V1 '
through a glass darkly, because we
have only a small part, a small portion
of the heavens brought out into view ;
and it is only by combining the views
thus formed, combing them in the imagination,
that we can form an estimate
of the real wondeis which appear;
so wc can imagine what might be seen
if the power of the eye was increased
to that of the largest telescope, and we
can conceive what would be seen if
the power of the eye were increased a
million fold beyond that of the largest
telescope; the wonderful displays of
the dark clouds ^nd masses of matter
gathering in various portions of space,
the power of recognizing their motions
as the telescope enable the Astronomer
to do, learning the harmony existing
in their motions. That is something
the feeble sense of Right only adcq^lely
extended might bring before us."
When the celebrated French chemist
Orfild was on one occasion a witness
at a trial for poisoning, ho was
asked by the president if he could
stale the quantity of arsenic requisite
to kill a fly? "Certainly M. le President,"
replied the expert; "but I must
first know before-hand tho ago of the
fly, its sex, its temperament, ist condition
and habit of body, whether
married or single, widow or maiden,
widower or batchelor."
A quarrelsome couple were discussing
the subject of epitaphs and tombstones,
and the husband said, "My
dear, what kind of a stone do you suppose
they will give me when I die?"
"Brimstone, my love," was the affectionate
reply.
I thought you were born on the 1st
of April, said a husband to his lovely
wife, who had mentioned the 21st as
her birthday, "Most people would
think so from the choice l made of a
husband," she replied.
