XTOMAQNETISM A' I.)!?. 199 



This latter fart strikes a vein of thought, which convin* 

 of the illimitable power of the Creator. 



If atomagnetism so regulates all atoms and forces of matter, 

 that, imt tin- slightest movement, not the waving of a blade of 

 grass, not the flutter of a bird on the wing, not the fleeting of 

 a cloud in the sky, but is governed by this law; then how 

 great is the power of Him who holds the key thereof! He 

 who gives a power can surely take it away again ; and Ho who 

 can create one power, can surely devise another. How simple 

 a matter then must it be to the Deity to shut the mouths of 

 lions ; to take the heat from a burning fiery furnace ; to part 

 asunder the Red Sea; and to raise Lazarus from the dead. 

 The fact that not only these mysteries, but the creation of 

 our world, the flood which deluged it, and all other natural 

 phenomena recorded in Scripture are found by this atomag- 

 netic system to harmonise with scientific facts ; and the impres- 

 sive and yet simple fact that the infidel's own lips but open 

 and shut, according to the same law, should show proud man 

 what a miserable and insignificant being he is, and how much 

 he is at the mercy of an ALMIGHTY RULER.
