geOmetrizing you find the circle dominant
and if not the circle then the curve, which
is circle that died young If it had
lived long enough it would have been a
full orb, periphery. An ellipSe iSa circle
pressed only little too hard at the sides.

There are over thirty-fve thousand col
umns of rOcks-OctagOnal, heXagOnal, pen
tagOnal. These rocks seem to have been
made by rule and by compass. Every
artist has his moulding-roOm where he
may make fifty shapes, but he chooses one
shape rs preferable to all the Others.
will not say that the Giants CauSeway was

out of great many figures God seems to
have selected the circle Us the best: at is
he that Sitteth on the circle of the earth. y
The stars in circle, the moon in 4 circle,
the sun in circle, the universe in circle,
and the throne of God the centre OF that
circle.

The history of the world
GOES IN a CIRCLE.
Why is it that the shipping in our day is
improving 50 rapidly? II is because men
are initiating the old model of NoahS ark.
4 ship carpenter gives that rs his opinion.
Although SO much deridcd by small wits,
that ship of NOah'S time beat the Etruria
and the Germanic, of which we boast so
much. Where is the ship on the sea to-
the heaven and the earth were wrecked,
landing all the passengers i'll safety, two
OF each kind of living creatures, thousands
of species PomOlOgy will 90 on with its
achievements until after many centuries
the world will have plums and pears equal
To the ParadiSeiCal. The art OF gardening
will grow for centuries, and after the
DOwnings and MitchcllS of the world have
done their best, in the far future the art
OF gardening will come up to the arborcs-
cence of the year one. If the makers of
colored glass 90 on improving they may in
some centuries be able to make something
equal to the east window of York Minister,
which was built in 1890. We are six
centuries behind those artists, but the
world must keep on tOiling until it shall
make the complete circuit and come up to
the skill of those very men. If the world
continues to
IMPROVE IN MASONRY
we shall have after a while, perhaps after
the advance of centuries, mortar equal to
that which ! saw in the walls of IN cX
humcd English city built in the time of
the Romans sixteen hundred years ago.
That mortar to-day Is as good as the day
in which it was made, having outlaSted
the brick and the stone. say, after hun
tlreds of years masonry may advance to
that point If the world stands long
enough We may have city rs large rs
they had in old times. Babylon, five times
the size of London. You 20 into the pot
tericS of England and you find them
making cups and vases after the style
of the cups and vases eNhumed from
Pompeii. The world is not going back.
Oh, no; but it is swinging i'll ascircle and
will come back 10 the styles of pottery
known so long ago as the days Of l'Ompeil.
The world must keep ON progressing until
il makes the complete circuit. The curve
is in the right direction, Tho curve will
keep on until II becomes n circle.
Well, now. my friends, what is true in
the material universe is true in Gods
moral government and spiritual arrange
ment. That is the meaning OF EzekieFs
wheel. All commentators agree in saying
that the wheel means Gods providence.
But a wheel is Qf no use unless it turn,
and if it turn it turns around and II II
turn around il moves in circle. What
then? Are We parts of
4 GREAT IRON MACHINE
whirled around whether We will or not
the victims Of inexOrable fate? No! 80
far from that ! shall show you thai We
ourselves start the circle Of good or bad
actions, and that it will surely come
around again 10 us unless by
Divine intervention it he hindered.
Those bad or good action may make the
circuit of many yearS; but come back to
us they will rs certainly rs that God sits
on the circle Of the earth. Iezebel, the
worst woman 0t the Bible, slew NahOth
because she wanted his vineyard. While
the dogs were eating the body of Naboth,
Elisha, the prophet, put down his com
pass and marked circle from those dogs
clear around to the dogs that should eat
the BODY of Jezebel, the murdereSs. I'm
possibler' the people said, that will
never happen" Who is that Icing hung
out of the palace window: Jezebel. A
few hours after they can around, hoping
to bury her. They find only the palms
of her hands and the skull The dogs
that devoured JezrIDel and the dogs that
deyOured NabOth, Oh, what swift,
what an awful CiTCuit!
But it is sometimes the case, that this
circle sweeps through century, or
through many centuries The world
started with theOeraoy for government;
that is, God was
THE PRESIDENT AND EMPEROR
of the world. Peopleg got tired of theOcra-
cy. They said: I'VE don't want God
directly interfering with the affairs of the
world; give us monarchy" The world
had a monarchy. From a GanaFeny II Is
going to have limited monarchy. After
awhile the limited monarchy will be given
up, and the republican form of govern
ment viii be eyerYYhere dominant aud
recognized. Then fhe world viii get tired
Of the republican form of government, and
it will have an anarchy. which Is no gov
eminent at all. And then, all nations
finding out that man is not capable Of
righteously governing man, viii cry ont
again for theocracy, and say: "Let God
come back and conduct the affairs OF the
world" Every step-mOnarehy, limited
monarchy, republicanism, anarchy, only
