that perfect adaptation that has always existed, and that 

 seems to be an endless and progressive amelioration. 



That matter has thus developed under His own immuta- 

 ble laws for countless ages, with faultless precision, in the 

 vastest operations of the stupendous universe, and unerring 

 perfection in the minutest details of everything, is one ot 

 the most glorious of His revealed attributes. And we can 

 not doubt that this revelation will become more and more 

 irlorious, even to the far distant future, foretol^lSOO vears
