Buardens~God Sent the Wheel,
{Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1869.)
Wasmixarox, D. O,—This discourse of Dr.
Talmage is a sermon of preparation for the
national observance and iz an unusual way
calls for the gratitude of the people; the
text, Ezekiel x., 13, "As for the wheels, it
was cried unto them in My hearing, O
wheel!”
The last Thursday'of the eleventh month,
by prociamation of President and Gover-
nors, is observed in thanksgiving for
temporal mercies, With what spirit shall
we enter upon it? ¥of nearly a year anda
hail this nation has been celebrating the
triumph of the sword and gun and bat.

gheered returning heroes and sounded the
requiem for the slain in battle, Methinks
it will be a heaithful change if this Thanks-
giving week, in church and homestead, we
celebrate the victories of peace, for noth-
ing was done at Santiago or Manila that
was of more importance than that which

or shot a Spaniard or went a hundred
miles from their own dcorsill. And now
sall your attention to the wheel of the
text,
# Man, a small speck in tho universe, was
set down in a big world, high mountains
risivg before him, deep seas arresting his
pathway and wild beasts capable of his
destruction, yet he was to conguer. It

elephant’s tusk, and how weak he isl It
couid not be by physical speed, for com-
pare bim to the antelope’s foot and ptar-
migan’s wing, and how slow he is! It
could not be by physieal capacity .to soar
or plunge, for the condor beats him in one
direction and the porpoise in the other,
Yet he was to conquer the world.
