THE NATURE AND FUNCTION OF AQUARIUS.
BY LANDON FAUNTLEROY.
" I have wai~d for thy salvation, 0 Lord." Genesis xux. 1~ .
. To the not very complimentary bh·th-right blessiug of Dan,
Jacob adds this clause. It has no apparent bearing upon the
text: one can find no clue to its meaning there. It is as though
the old Patriarch had paused after putting the last touch to
the somber shades of the pieture, and, looking down the vista
of the long ages, had caught a glimpse of the inheritance into
which this son would pass, and had seen, too, that the open
sesame to that inheritance would only be availaLle aftet· his
brothers had passed into theirs: "1 have waitetl. fm· thy ~alva.­
tion, 0 Lord."
Probably the most won1lerfnl system of magnetic or telegmphie
communication in all God's nni'' ~'l'se is that along
whose netwm·k of filaments the electt·ie I i fe cnnents run to
every portion of the b01ly of man; an1l the wiza1·1l who is the
pt·eilidiog geaius het·e is Dan: this is the .-\qu:u·ius por·tion.
One of the "uew-fangletl" ideas with whieh el!l'tain motlern
divines have been horrifying the tle.tr orthodox souls, is that
electt·icity is a direct manifestation of Ul)ll himsdf. It looks
as though they might have caught here a g limmeriog of a
g•·and tl'llth: lllHl-wouderful to relate- tlwy have not gone to
the time-hollot·ed canons of chm·chly authol'ity to tind it. Of
course, in a l11·oad sense, all natm·e is a m:mifestati•lll of its
Ct·eatm-, but is it not possihlt" th;tt that snhtle and mighty
fm·ce, batHing tlw effm·ts of om· nwst sneccssfnl scientists to
penett·ate it!! Juyste•·ies, the tptalities of its composition, or e\'en
to absolutely know the laws by which it is govcrtwtl,-is it not
possiule that, after mint! awl !
