KEY. DR. TALMAGE. | THE BROOKLYN DIVINES SUN. DAY SERMON, Subject: “The Circle of tha Esrth, (Preached at Atlanta, Ga) Text: “It is He that sitteth wpon th eirc.e of the earth.” Isaiah xI1,, 22, 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, intimated the shaps of it—God sitting upon the circle of the earth, he most beautiful figure in all geometry is the circle, God made the universe on the plan of » circle, There are in the natural world straight lines, angles, parallelozrams, ding onals, quadrangles, out thess evidently are not God's favorites, Almost everywhere where you will find Him geom erizing you find the circle dominant, and if not “the circle, then the curve, which is a circle that died youn», If it had lived long enough it would have been a full orb—a periphery, An ellipse is a circle pressed only a little too bard at the sides, Giant's Causeway, in Ireland, shows what God thinks of mathematics, Toere are over 85.0% columns of rocks—octagonal, hexa- gonal, pentagonal, These rocks seem to ve been made by rule and by co npass, Every artist has his molding room, whers be may make fifty shapes, but he chooses one shape as preferable to all others. [ will not say that the Giant's Causeway was the world’s molding room, but I do say out of a great many figures God seems to have sel ected the circle as the best, “It is He that ! sitteth on the circle of the earth.” The stars in a circle, the moon in a circle, the sun in a circle, the universe in a circle, the throue of God the center of that circle, When men build churches they ought to imitate the idea of the Great Architect and put the audience in a circle, knowing that the tides of emotion roll more easily that way than in straight lines, Bix thousand years ago God flung this world out of His right hand, but He did not throw it out in a straight line, but curvilinear, with a leass of love holding it s0 as to lring it back again, The world started from Fis hand pure and Elenic, It has been rolling on | through regions of moral ice and distemper, How long it will roll God oaly kn yw, but | it will in due time make complete circuit and come back to the place whence it started =the hand of God—pare and Edenic.

All commentators agree in saying that tae wheel means God's providence, But a wheel is turn, and if it turn it turns around, and If it turns around it moves io a circle, What then? Are wa parts of a great iron machine whirled around whether we will or not, ths victims of inexorable fate? No! So far trom that, 1 shall show you that we ourselves start the circle of good or bad sections 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 that God sits on the circle of the earth, Jezebel, the worst woman of the Bible, slew Naboth because she wanted his vine yard, While the dogs were eating the body of Naboth, Elisha the prophet put down his compass and marked a circles from the doge clear around to the dogs that should sat the body of Jezebul the murdersss. *“‘lmpos- sible™ the people sald; “that will never baopen.” Who is that being flung out of the palace window? Jezsbel, A few hours after they came around hoping to bury her. They find only the palms of her hands and the skull, The dogs that devours! Jezshel and the dogs that devoured Naboth! Oh, what a swift, what an awful cirenit! But it is sometimes the case that this circle sweeps throu th a century or throazh many centuries. The world started with a theoo racy for government—that is, God was the president and smperor of the world, People got tired of a theocracy. Toey said: “We don't want Go l directly intseloring with tie affairs of the world: give us & monarohy.” The world had a monarchy. From a won. archy it is going to havea limite | moasrony, After awaile the limited monarchy will by given un, and the republic form a’ gor. ernment will be evarywaers dominant and recognizsd.
