Matter and Motion. 23 



in the contemplation of the starry heavens, 

 we can conceive no term to the extension 

 of space ; so, in regarding the minute 

 parts of creation we see no end to the 

 divisibility of matter. We are lost in 

 wonder when we attempt to comprehend 

 either the vastness or the minuteness of 

 creation, and are necessarily made to 

 feel that it belongs only to the one great 

 and incomprehensible Power, who work- 

 eth in ways past finding out.
