THE 1:11JRQP,AT:
Professor Wilds% Lecture.
According to previous -announcement Professor
Wikl delivered a lecture in Sharp's Hall, On the
evn'g of Wednesday, the 25th ult. The attend-
ance, although. notlarge, was very fair. Dr. Camp-
bell. occupied the chair, and with a few appro-
priate remarks introduced the Professor.
In opening his remarks the lecturer stated that
no man living -had ever seen Moses' day. There
were no hours, minutes, or seconds in Moses'
time, as these expressions for computing time are
inventions of. arater period. Before the Sun and
Moon were created, days might have been but a
moment lobg, or they -might have been billions
of years duration. • Perfect harmony existed
between geology and Revelation, and the appar-
ent discrepencies which men thought they saw to
exist between them were merely imaginary. and
resulted from their ignorance of these subjects.
The reasonableness of faith wee attested by vari-
ous examples, for instance : a child believes that
a particular letter is A. for its teacher M whom it
has confid.ence, tells it, it is sO. When men be-
lieve Lord. Ross with regard to astronomy, the
may with much greater faith; and. with a muclf
greater degree of consistency believe the prophesy
of Isaiah. The Professor denied that the bowels
of the earth were composed of molten laYa, as
had heen stated. and believed by some, -as if such
were the case the heat arising therefrom would
certainly be destructive to e;egetable growth, a
moving body like the earth must be solid and
not Iloilo w. He also illustrated satisfactorily the
reasonableness of believing in an • . invisible
and future world, and explained the origin
of volcanoes, and the causes of eruptions at stated
intervals. The sun was said to be growing less 4 -
water decreasing, land increasing, and the earth
moving Northwards, why man does not continue
growing is A mystery. The world grows as well
as man, and will continue to grow, and will not
come to an end till ' it arriv s t
e a maturity, an
then, and not till then, will the earthly milleni-
in the um appear. The world will not shortly come to an
to hand an'end, as has been predictedby the Baxters, Mil -
out, and lers, and others, but will continue till all parts of
t neatly the globe are inhabited, and the gospel preached

Communication.
The singing class taught by Mr. D. Trott, in
this village. was brought to a close on the evii'g
of Saturday ls.st. The singing was very good, so
good as to merit praise. Those who attended to
his lung exercises recommended. them strongly
as a meana of improving the health, appeanince
of the person and the strength. and tone of the
voice.
The following may lie taken as a fair criterian
of the benefits derived by those membens of the
class who took the exercises: "Having attend-
ed Mr. Trott's singing class, with which he has
combined various exercises for the strengthening
of the lungs. and. having attended to the practice
of them. severally as they were given, I have
found them -very beneficial, and can heartily re-
commend them to all who wish to have their
limgs strengthened, and their general health im-
proved."
