Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Phrenological Journal and Life Illustrated, Vol. 58: June, 1874 What was this whirlwind out of which God spake to Job, and what was it that came to the relief of the martyred Church? In the parable, after portraying a long series of ca lamities and sufi'erings for 'his subject, the Church, the prophet's vision emerges upon a period of vast and unprecedented scientific and material enterprise. By the discovery of new agents of force, it bursts upon the world in unheard-of splendor and power. It was the era of modern science. Steam and electricity were the powers of the whirlwind of human enterprise and endeavor. Under Divine Providence the institutions of science and art come to her relief; it was the types of Faust that gave the luminous tenets of Luther to the world. It was the printing press that spread out the platform of Prot estantism in Europe. It was the obstacles to free intercourse between the nations of the world that kept back the Reformation for centuries. It is the possession of facilities for rapid and free intercourse that makes it no more possible for organized and long continued oppression and outrage on the face of the earth to exist. It is from this conjunction of circumstances, demonstrating as it clearly does the essential unity Of re ligious and scientific interests, that I take niy departure for the interpretation of the two leading'types or forms of ideas which the prophet saw evolved from the great in tellectual commotion called the whirlwind. Of the first of these two types, Behemoth and Leviathan, -i shall _not go far into dc tail, as the material for it is not nearly so abundant as-in the second. It is singular, arenologioar journai.
