For all things on this earth, from the tiniest flower to the tallest mountain, change and change all day long.

Every atom of matter moves perpetually; and nothing "continues in one stay." The solid- seeming earth on which you stand is but a heaving bubble, bursting ever and anon in this place and in that.

Only above all, and through all, and with all, is One who does not move nor change, but is the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever.

And on Him, my child, and not on this bubble of an earth, do you and I, and all mankind, depend.
But I have not yet told you why the Peruvians ought to have expected an earthquake.

True.
