To what a vast distance the influence of our sun reaches ! You showed me lately the planet Herschel, which you said was eighteen hundred millions of miles from the sun, and yet he distributes color, and light, and heat, and fertility to it, and to the six moons which revolve around it.
How surprising ! But I was most aston- ished and pleased, Father, with the ring of Saturn, which you showed me tho other eve- ning.
It is a grand and beautiful object; it is more than nine hundred times larger th
...an our world.
And did you not say that one of his rings was 200. 000 miles in diameter, or across it ?
OS THE POWER OP GOD.
Yes ; but it is difficult to conceive fully of an object which is so vast.
But is not the moon, Father, about two hun- dred and forty thousand miles distant from the earth ? You said so one evening, I recollect.
Yes ; what then ?
Well, then, Father, the ring of Saturn would fill up nearly all that space.
It would ; that is a striking thought, Frank, and a fine illustration : ajid so we can form a very just idea of the size of the ring of Sat- urn.
