 'Creator.' The depth saith, 'It is not in me.' The heavens 

 declare not their own, but their Maker's glory ; ' for all are his

 himself looks up, demanding by the entire constitution of hie 

 being, some end beyond and above himself, and is by nature a 

 worshipper. And when his ear is opened to hear the response 

 given to his questionings by the very loftiest ranks of spiritual 

 creatures, that response is one echoed from every region and 

 limit of the material universe, ' Thou art worthy, Lord, to 

 receive glory, and honour, and praise ; for thou hast created ell 

 tilings, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."'
