The disappearance Of stars from
the Planetary World is suited to
awaken deep and solemn reflections
in the human mind. They indicate
that the period is coming when this
earth also will disappear, and the
heavens be rolled together as scroll,
and the grand catastrophe at the
end of the world will come to pass.


During the last two or three centu.
ries, upwards of thirteen fixed stars
have disappeared. One of them,
situated in the northern hemisphere,
presented a peculiar brilliancy, and
was so bright as 10 be seen by the
naked eye at midday. 1t seemed to
be on fire, appearing at first of a daz.
zling white, then ofa reddish yellow,
and lastly OF an ashy pale color.
La Place supposes that it was burned
up, as it has never been seen since
The conflagration was visible about
sixteen months. How dreadful! a
whole system on fire the great central
luminary and its planets, with their
plains, mountains, forests, villages, ci-
ties, and Inhabitants, all in flames,
consumed? And here we have a
presumptive proof Of the truth, and a
solemn illustration Of singular pas
sage in the Bible--"The heavens will
pass away with great noise, the ele-
ments shall melt with feryent heat,
the world also and the works that are
therein, shall be burned up." m
