[Footnote 183: That man is the final end of the material creation is a principle recognized by scientific men. "The aim of the Creator in forming the earth, in allowing it to undergo the successive changes which geology has pointed out, and in creating successively all the different types of animals, was to introduce man upon the earth. Man is the end toward which all the animal creation has tended from the appearance of the Palæozoic fishes."--Agassiz and Gould, "Principles of Zoology," p. 238.

Here is meant the gaseous fluid as it forms a unity with the air."--Lange, p. 168.] [Footnote 193: נֶפֶשׁ הַיָּה = soul of life.--Lange.] [Footnote 194: Whedon.] [Footnote 195: Hence αἰών, time, or the all of time, is used to express the all of the finite, the universe.

Herschel) with his lamented friend, Dr. Hawtrey, Head-Master and late Provost of Eton College, on the subject of Etymology, I happened to remark that the syllable _Ur_ or _Or_ must have some very remote origin, having found its way into many languages, conveying the idea of something absolute, solemn, definite, fundamental, or of unknown antiquity, as in the German _Ur-alt_ (primeval), _Ur-satz_ (a fundamental proposition), _Ur-theil_ (a solemn judgment)--in the Latin _Oriri_ (to arise), _Origo_ (the origin), _Aurora_ (the dawn)--in the Greek Ὄρος (a boundary, the extreme limit of our vision, whence our horizon), Ὄρκος (an oath or solemn obligation, etc.). 'You are right,' was his reply, 'it is the oldest word of all words: the first word ever recorded to have been pronounced. It is the Hebrew for _Light_'" (אוֹר, AOR).--"Familiar Lectures on Scientific Subjects," p. 219.] [Footnote 199: See "Week of Creation," by Geo. Warrington, p. 13.]
