When the moon passes between the earth and the sun, we call it new; but you must not think that it is more new at that time, than it was when it was full; we mean, that it begins anew to show us the side on which the sun shines. God ordained the sun to rule the day and the moon to give light by night. The laws of nature are sus- tained by the immediate presence and agency of God. The heavens declare an Almighty power that made them. The science of astron- omy explains the causes of day and night and why the sun, and moon, and stars appear to change their places in the heavens. Air contains the vapors that rise from earth; and it sustains them, till the fall in dews, and in showers of rain, or in snow or hail.
