parts return it will be pretty apt to make a splash and spill the gravy scientists tell us that the sun is still a molten mass hence the light and heat we receive from it the scriptures inform us that the light which Is in all things which life to all things j which is the law by which all things are governed even the aofter of god this is the light of christ the light of the sun moon and tars aars and the earth the light of worlds as transmitted through space the great principle of life the law and power by which all things are governed and the light which now chineth which you ight is through him who eneth your eyes which is the same light that quick eneth your understanding which light edeth forth from the presence of god to till fill the immensity of space doe doc cov 88 6 13 I 1 would
