center of that circle.
When men build churches thew ought
to initiate the idea of the Great Archi-
tect and put the audience in a circle,
knowing that the tides of emotion roll
more easily that way than in straight
lines. Six thousand years ago God flung
this world out of His right hand, but He
did not throw it out in a straight line,
but curvingly, with leash of love hold
ing it so as to bring it back again. The
world started from His hand pure and
Edenic. 1t has been rolling on through
regions Of moral ice and distemper.
How long it will roll God only knows,
but it will in due time make complete
circuit and come back to the place
whence it Started-the hand of God
pure and Edenic.
The history of the world goes in
circle. Why is it that the shipping in
our day is improving so. rapidly? 1t is
because men are initiating the old model
OF Noah's ark. A ship carpenter gives
that as his opinion. Although so much de-
rided by small wits, that ship of Noah's
time beat the Majestic and the Etruria
and the City OF Paris, of which we boast
so much. Where is the ship on the sea
to-day that could outride q deluge in |
which the heaven and the earth were
wrecked. landing all the passengers in |
Of each kind of living Great
ures, thousands of species?
