It may be asked in this widespread universe, will He recognize earth or us? Yet we must remember there is evidence of the same formative Hand alike in each atom of air, the countless worlds, and man himself. Then who but a mightier Power can do what man can not? We may securely feel that if God made man in his own image,—which we are led to believe without the Bible’s revelation—He can give to him protection, thought, and love. Then the chance, or probability—if you do not regard the possibility or certainty—of living in God’s presence for as many millions of years as there are atoms in earth, which cannot comprehend eternity, are evidenced by what we here behold. Should we not live, then, in expectancy and hope, our faith grounded on what we behold in our earth, sun, and the universe? The works of man are multiple, but among them all, we do not find one of _chance_ in its formation. We always recognize man’s hand and expect no form without a maker; so of the universe. The mighty worlds as well as the invisible atoms bear evidence of a Creator, and have the same assurance stamped upon them as have the inventions of man. We should thereby recognize the truth that God exists and regulates the vast and countless worlds, the tiniest molecule, and man himself. Surely, then, in accepting the faith of the Bible there can be no loss, while by accepting of it we may stand approved by One who created worlds, space, and all life, the existence of which is within our vision, but the contemplation of which is infinitely beyond our conception.
