While yet people thought that tas world
was fat, and thousands OF years before they
found out hat it was round. Isaiah, In my
text intimated the snap, OF it-aoi sitting
upon the circle OF the earth. The most
beautiful figure in all geometry is the Circle.

sitteth on the circle Of the earth.s fhe stars
in a circle. the moon in a circle. the sun in q
circle, the universe in a circle, tho throne OF
God the center o. that circle.
When men build churches they ought to
