Divine origin of his intelligence ; bnt, by his Philosophy, he has 
done yet more than this, in proving the completeness of the 
Balance of Forces throughout the universe. Vast chemical 
changes are taking place in the Sun, and, for every grain of 
matter altering its form, an equivalent of physical force is 
given out in a radiant state. These rays pass through space, 
and reach our Earth, and here they are employed in producing 
exact equivalents of vital and other phenomena. 
The minutest terrestrial organism is the result of chemical 
changes taking place in the Sun. That stupendous orb is the 
great laboratory in which are generated those Powers by whose 
agencies all the planets of the system are regulated. In 
obedience to the Great Creator, who “ caused the day spring 
to know his place,” — those mysterious agencies, — with the 
source of which man is now becoming acquainted, — are flooded 
out in profusion from the Sun, causing crude matter to pulsate 
into Life and Beauty upon every rolling orb within the solar 
realm.
