: Text: "Jt ix He that xittrth upon t7it
circle of 1hr. earth" Isaiah x!., 22.
"While yet people thought that t ie worl I
1 was flat, ntifl thousands of years before they
found out that it was round, Isn'ah, in my
Text, intimated the shap-i of it Gol sitting
upon the circle of the earth. The most
beautiful figure in all geometry is the circle.
Go i madf the universe on the plan of a
rirclr. There art in th natural world
straight lines, anile?, pin lelozn 'is, diag
onal?, quadrangles, bun thse evidentlv are
not Goci's favorites. Aimost everywhere
where you will find Him geomotriz.ng you
find the circle dominant, and if not th
circle, then tbe curve. whic! is a circle that
died youn . If it had lived long enough it
would have bfen a full orb a periphery.
An ellipse is a circle pressed only a little too
hard at the sider.
Giant's Causeway, in Ireland, shows what
God ihiuks ot mathematics. Tjera are over
85,000 columns of rocks octagonal, hexa
gonal, pentagonal. These rocks seem to
have been made by rule and by co npass.
Every artist has his molding room, where
be may make fifty shape?, but he chooses
one shape as preferable to ad others. 1 wil!
not fav that the Giant's Cnuseway was the
world's molding room, but 1 do say out of a
great many figures Gjd seems to huve sel
ect(l the circle as the best. "It is He that
j-itteth on the circle of the earth." Tb.3 stars
in a circle, the moon in a circle, the sun in a
circle, the universe in a circle, the throne of
God the center o ! that circle.
"When men build churches they ouht to
Imitate the idea of the Great Architect and
put tin audience in a circle, knowing that
the tides of emotion roll more easdy that
way than in straight lines. Six thousand
years ago God flung this world out ot His
l ight hand, but He did not throw it out in
n straight line, but curvilinear, with a leas
of Jove holding it so as to bring it back
again. Th world started from His hand
pure and E lenic. It has been rolling on
through regions of moral ice and distemper.
Jllow long it will roll Goi only knows, but
it will in duo tima make complete circuit
n n j come back to the place whence it started
the hand of God pure and Eienic.
The history of the world goas in a circle.
'Wuy-isit that tha shipping in our day is
improving so rapidly? It is because men
are imitating the old mo lei of Noah's ark.
A ship carpenter gives that as his opinion.
Although so much deride i by small wits,
that ship of Noah's time beat the Majestic
nd the Etruria and tbe City of Pans, of
which we toast so much. Where is the
ship on the sea to-day that could outride a
deluge in which the heaven and the earth
were wrecked, landing all tha passengers in
j-afety two of each kind of living creatures,
thousands of species?
1'omology will go on with its achieve
ments until after many centuries the world
will have plums anl pears equal to the para
disaical. The arc of gardening will grow
lor centuries, and after the Downings and
Mitchells of the world have done their best
in the far future the art of gardening will
come up to the arborescenca of the year 1.
If the makers of colored glass go on improv
ing they may jn some centuries be able to
make something rqual to the east window of
York minster, which was built in 1290. 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
tbe skill o those very men.
t It the world continues to improve in ma
sonry we shall have after awhile, perhaps
after the advance of centuries, mortar equal
to that which 1 saw last summer in tbe wall
.of au exhumed English city, built in the
time of the Romans, 1600 years ago that
mortar to-day as good as the day in which it
was made, having outlasted the brick and
the stone. I say. after hundreds of years,
( masonry may advance to that point. If the
world stands long enough we may have a
city as large as they had in old times Baby
lon five times the size of London. ,
You go into the potteries in England and
you find them making cups and vases after
the style of the cups and vases exhumed
from Pompeii. The world is not going
back. Ob, no; but it is swinging in a circle
and will come back to the styles of pottery
: known so long ago as the days of Pompeii.
The world must keep on progressing until it
makes the complete circuit. The curve is in
the right direction, the curve will keep on
until it becomes the circle.
, Well, now, my friends, what Is true in the
material uuiverse is true in Ood's moral
goveriiinent and spiritual arrangement.
That is the meaning of Ezekie.'s wheel. All
'trommentators agree in saying that tne
Wheel means liod s providence. Hut a wheel
' is of no use unless it turn, and if it turn
it turns around, and if it turns around it
moves in a circle. What then? Are we
parts of a great iron machine whirled
around whether we will or not, the victims
of inexorable fate? No ! So far from that,
I shall show you that we ourselves start the
circle of good or bad actions and that it will
! surely come around again ,to us unless by
divine intervention it be hindered. Those
bad or good actions may make the circuit of
many years, but come Back to us they will
as certainly as thr.t God sits on the circle of
the earth.
. Jtzebel, the worst woman of the Bible,
' slew Naboth because she wanted his vine
yard. AVhile the dogs were eating tbe body
of Naboth, Elisha the prophet put down his
compass and marked a circle from the dogs
clear around to the dogs that should eat the
body of Jezabsl the murderess, "impos
sible !" Mie people said; "that will never
haopen." Who is that beim: flung out of tbe
palace window? Jezsbel. A few hours after
they came around hoping to bury her. They
find only the palms ot her hands ani the
skull. The dogs that devoureiJezebel and
the dogs that devoured Naboth ! Ob, what
a swift, what an awful circuit!
But it is sometimes the case that this circle
sweeps through a century or through many
centuries. The world started with a theoc
racy for government that i, God was the
president and emperor of the world. People
got tired of a theocracy. They said: "We
oon't want Gol directly interfering with tje
affairs of the world give us a monarchy."
The world had a monarchy. From a mon
archy it is going to have a limite 1 monarchy.
After awhile the limited monarchy will be
given up, and the republican form of gov
ernment will be everywhere dominant and
recognized. Then the world will get tired
of the republican form of governmeat, and
it will have an anarchy, which is no govern
ment at ad. And then all nations, fin ling
out that a man is not capable of righteously
governing man. will cry out for a theocracy
and say: "Let God come back and conduct
the affairs of the world."
Every step monarchy, limitod mon
arcy, republicanism, anarchy only differ
ent steps between the first theocracy and the
last theocracy, or segments of the great cir
cle of the earth on which God sits. But do
not become impatient because you cannot
see the curve of events, and therefore con
clude that God's government is going to
breakdown. History tells us that in the
making of the pyramids it took 2000 men
two years to drag one great stone from, the
quarry and put it into the pyramids.
WelJ, now, if men short lived can afford
to work so slowly as that, cannot God in the
building of 4 the eternities afford to wait?
What though God should take 10,000 years
to draw a circle? Shall we take our little
; watch, which we have to wind up every
nieht lest it run down, and hold it up beside
the clock of eternal ages? If, according to
the Bible, a thousand years are in God's
sight as one day, then, according to that
calculation, the 6003 years of the world's
existence have been only to God as from
Monday to Saturday.
But it is often the case that the rebound
is quicker and the circle is sooner computed.
You resolve that you will do what good
you can. In one wee-c you put a worvl oC
counsel in thg heart of a Sabbath -school
child. During that same week you give a
letter o intro luction to a youn? man strug
gling in business. During tha same week
you make an exaortano i in a prayer meet
ing. It Is all gone, you will never hear of
it, perhaps, you thin::.
A few years aiur h man coaies up to you
tbe Saooatn-scaool ciass over which, you
were tne teacher . On j Sunday you invite I
me to Christ. I accepted tha offer. You
see that cburca w.ta iwa towers yonder?'
"Yes," you say. He says. "That is where I
prt-aca;'' or, "Do you see that governor's
house? Tnat is wnere I live." One day a
man comes to you and say.-, "G50J niorn
iu.' You look at him an 1 siy, "Why, you
have the advantage o me; I cannot place
ycu." He says, "Don't you remember thirty
years ao giving a letter of intro luction to
a young man, a letter ot introduction to
Moses H. Orinnell?" "Yes, yes, 1 do." He
siys: "I am the man; that was my first
step toward a fortune, but I have retired
fro n business now anl am giving my time
to philanthropies and public interests. Come
up an 1 see m".''
Or a man comes to you and 6ays: "I
want to nrroduce myself to you. I went
into a craver meeting iu Atlanta some
years ago; 1 sat back by the door; you arose
to make au exhortation; tbac taiK changed
the course of my life, and if ever I get to
heaven, under Go i 1 will owj my salvation
to you." In only ten, twenty or thirty
years tue circle swept ojc aa I swept bade
agr.in to your own grat3tul heart.
But sometimes it is a wider circle and
does not return tor a great while. 1 saw a
bill of expanses for burning Latimer and
Ridley. The bill of expansi-s says;
One load of fir fagots 3?. 4L
Cartage of four loads of wjou
Item, a post
Item, two chains j .... 3- 4d.
Item, two staples
Item, four laborers 'is. So.
That was cheap fire, considering all the
circumstances, but it kindled a iigut that
shone all around tno wond and aroused the
martyr spirit, an t out from that burning of
Latimer and ftidl ey rolled the circle wider
and wider, startiug other circles, convolv
ing, overrunning, circumscribing, overarch
ing all heaven a circle.
But what is trus of the gool is just as
tru of the bad. You utter a slander against
your neighbor. It has gone forth trom
your teeth; it will never come back, you
think. You have done the man all the mis
chief you can. You rejoics to se3 him wince.
You say, "Didn't I give it to hi n !" That
word has gone out, that slanderous wor l.on
its poisonous and blasted way. You think
it will never do you any harm. But 1 am
watching that word, and I se3 it beginning
to curve, and it curves around, and it is aim
ing at your heart. You ha I better dolge
it. You cannot dodge it. It rolls into your
bo3om aud after it rolls in a wjrd ot an old
book, which says, "With what measure ye
met?, it shall be measure I to you again."
You maltreat an age 1 parent. Yo 1 he
gruiged him the room in your house. You
are impatient of his whimsicalities an i gar
rulity. It makes you mad to bear him tell
the same story twic?. You give him food
he cannot masticate. You wish he was
away. You wonder if he is going to live
forever. He will be gone very soon. His
steps are shorter ana short ?r. He is going
to stop. But Goi has an account to settle
with you on that subject. After awhile
your eye will be dim, and your gait will
halt, and the soun 1 of the grinding will be
low, and you will tell the same story twic?.
and your children will wonder if you are
going to live f oraver and wonder if you will
never be taken away.
They calle 1 you "father'1 one?: now they
call you the "old man." If you live a few
years longer they will call you the "old
chapP' What are those rouh words with
which your children are accosting yon?
They are the echo of the very words you
used in the ear of your old father forty
years ago. What is that whic'a you are
trying to chew, but find it unmas
ticable, and your jaws acae, an I you sur
render the attempt? Perhaps it may be the
gristle which you gave to your father for
his breakfast forty years ago.
A gentleman passini along tha street saw
a Bon dragging his father into the street by
the hair of the hea. The gentleman, out
raged at this brutal conduct, was about to
punisn me oiren ter when the old man arose
and s id, "Don't hurt him; its all right;
forty years ago this morning I dragged out
my father by Vie hair of his head!" It is a
circle. My father live 1 into the eighties,
and he had a very wide experience, and he
said that maltreatment of parents was
always punish?d in this world. Other sin
may be adjourned 1o the next world, but
maltreatment of parent is punished in this
world.
The circle turns quickly, very quickly
Oa, what a stupendous thought that the
eood and the evil we start come back to us!
Do you know that the Judgment Day will
be only th points at which the circles join,
tho good and the bad we have done coming
back to us. unless divin e intervention hinder
coming back to v ve'er-ne of delizht
or curse of conn- .
Oh, I would lie .. x.u,;, the iuva id
missionary, at tne mo nnt when his influ
ence comes to full or n his influence rolling
out through Antioca, through Cyprus,
through Lystra, through Corinth, through
Athens, through Asia, through Europe,
through America, through the first century,
through five centuries, through twenty cen
turies, through all the succeeding centuries,
through earth, through heaven, and at last,
the wave of influence having made full cir
cuit, strikes his great soul. Oh, then I would
like to see him ! No one can tell the wide
sweep of the circle of his influence save the
One who is seated on the circle of the earth.
I should not want to see the countenance
of Voltaire when his influence comes to full
orb. When the fatal hemorrhage seized
him at eighty-three years of age his influ
ence did not cease. The most brilliant man
of his century, he had used all his faculties
for assaulting Christianity, his bad influ
ence widening through France, widening out
through Germany, widening, through all
Europe, widening: through America, widen
ing through the 115 years that have gone by
since he died, widening through earth,
widening through hell, until at last the ac
cumulated influence of his bad life in fiery
surge of omnipotent wrath will beat against
his destroyed spirit, and at taat moment it
will be enough to make the black hair of
eternal darkness turn white with the horror.
No one can tell how that bad man's influ
ence girdled the earth save the one who is
seated on the circle of the earth the Lord
Almighty.
"Well, now," say people in this audience,
'this in some respects is a very glad theory
and in others a very sad one; wa would like
to have all tbe good we have ever done come
back to us, but the thought that all the sins
we have ever committel will come back to
us fills us with affright." My brother. I
iiave to tell you God can break that circle
and will do so at your call. I can bring
twenty passages of Scripture to prove that
when God for Christ's sake forgives a man
the sins of his past life never come bacr.
The wheel may roll on and roll on, but
you take your position behind the cross
and the wheel strikes the cross and is shat
tered forever. The sins fly off from the cir
cle into the perpendicular, falling at right
angles with complete oblivion. Forgiven I
Forgiven! The meanest thing that a man
can do is, after some difficulty has been set
tled, to bring it up again, and God will not
be so mean as that. God's memory is mighty
enough to hold all the events of the age,
but there is one thing tnat is sure to slip His
memory, one thing He is sure to forget, and
that is pardoned transgression. How do 1
know it? I will prove it. "Their sins and
their iniquities will I remember no more.
Come into that state this morning, my uear
brother, my dear sister. "Blessed is tha
one whose transgressions are forgiven."
i But do not make the mistake of thiuaing
;that this doctrine o the circle stops witS
this life; it roils on through heaven. You
might quote in opposition to me what St,
John Bays about the city of heaven, tie

You say, "No, I don't remember ever to
have seen you." "Why." he says, "I was in
says it "lieth four square.' That does seem
to militate against this idea, but you know
there is many a square house that has a
family circle facing each other, and in a
circle moving, and I can prove that this is
o in regard to heaven. St. John says, "I
heard the voice of many angels round about
the throne, and the beasts, and tbe elders."
Again he says: "There was a rainbow
round about the throne." The former two
instance a circle; the last either a circle or a
semicircle. The seats facing each other, the
angels facing each other. th3 men facing
each other. Heaven an amphitheatre of
glory. Circumference of patriarch and proph
et and apostle. Circumference of Scotch
Covenanters and Theaan legion and Albi
genses. Circumference o! the good of all
ages. Periphery of splendor unimagined
and indescribab e. A circle! A circle!
But every circumference must have a
centre, aud what is the centra of this heav
enly circumference? Cnrist. His all the

The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests
to be 27 per cent, stronger than any other brand on the

contain alum, lime and sulphuric acid ; but if they are

asked Peyton Brown. Well, it's a fact.
The Mayas, inhabiting the Sierra Madre
Mountains in the lower part of Sonora,
are supposed to be the descendants of
the crew and passengers of a Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
long centuries before the birth of Colum
bus. They have a tradition that their
ancestors 'came in a great canoe over
the big salt water many hundreds of
moons aije.' They have never beeu con
quered by the Mexican?. They are nom
inally under Mexican rule, but are in re
ality governed by their own chiefs.
Whenever the Mexican Government in
terferes w ith them they take up arms,
and they have got the best of every
scrimmage thus far. The Yaquis are
their neighbors, and these two warlike
tribes have reciprocity reduced to a
science. Whenever the Government in
terferes with the Yaquis the Mayas come
to their assistance, and vice versa. Mex
ican troops cannot stand before the
Mayas, or white Indians. Tbcv are the
most desperate fighters on the North
American Continent. Like their neigh
bors, the Y'aquis, they arc mostly Cath
olics. Although quite primitive, almost
savage, in their mode of life, the stan
dard of morality is high. They live prin
cipally by the chase, but cultivate some
corn and garden truck in the valleys.
The men arc large, well formed, and
come of the women remarkably hand
some blondes. Tbcv all retain traces of
th cir Swedish ancestry, and the linguists
say that their language evidences a North
European ancestry." St. Louis Globe
