RICHARDS, Publisher and Prefrietor THE CIRCLE God Seems to Have 0F HISTORY. Selected the Circle as the Best Figure. [Elite according to at o: the Puliunent of On . in the on o Thousand Nine Hun- dred and One. William Baily, of Toronto, at the Donrtment of Agriculture. Ottawa) A despatch from Washington says : â€"Rev. Dr. Talmage preached from the following text : Isaiah x1, 22, “It is he that sittcth upon the circle of the earth." While yet people thought that the world was flat and thousands of years before they found out that it. was round Isaiah. in my text, inti- mated the shape of it-G' od sitting upon the circle of the earth. The most beautiful figure in all geometry is the circle. God made the universe on a plan of the circle. There are in the natural world straight lines, angles, parallel- ograms, diagonals, quadrangles, but these evidently are not God's favor- ites. Almost everywhere where you find him geometrizing you find the circle dominant, and if not the circle then the curve, which is a circle that died young. If it. had lived long enough it would have been a full orb, a periphery. An eclipse is a cir- cle pressed only a little too hard at the sides. The history of the world goes in a circle. Why is it that the shipping in our day is improving so rapidly ? A scientific shipbuilder says it is be- cause men are imitating in some rch spects what the small wits deride, the old model of Noah’s ark, not as we see it. in old time pictures. but as it; really was according to the ac- count given. .lrcat ships have we iow, but where is the ship on the sea toâ€"day that could outride a dent and the all the each lugc in WhiC'l Lit: heaven ,carth were Wrecked. landing two of tthousands of species ? I’omology will go on with its ach- ievements until after many centuries the world will have plums and pears “01' equal to the paradisaical. THE ART OF GARDENING will grow for centuries. and after the Downings and Mitchells of '.he world have done their best in the far future the art of gardening will ,come up year 1. If the makers of colored lglass go on improving. they may in some centuries be able to make sum-:- ;thing equal to the east window of Yorkminster, which Was built in the year 1290. We are six centuries be- hind those artists. llut the world linust keep on toiling until it shall make the complete circuit and come up to the skill of those very men. I if the world continues to improve in masonry. we shall have after awhile, perhaps after the advance of centuries. mortar equal to that. which ;1 saw in the wall of an exhumed ,lii:glish city built in the time of the illonians 1,600 years ago. that mor- tnr til-day as good as the day in {which it was made. having outlastcd lthc brick and the stone. 1 say, af- (ter hundreds of years masonry may ,advance to that point. ; Well. now, what is true in the ma- fterial universe is true in God's moral ig‘m‘crnment and spiritual, arrange- linent. :kiel's wheel. A l commentators agree tin saying that the wheel means God‘s wrovidence. But a wheel is of no tuse unless it turns. and if it. turns it fturns around. and if it turns around 'it moves in a cilclc.

St. John says, "I heard the voice of many angelsrouud about the throne and the beasts and the elders."
