did not know of the promise of im

in the heart of a densely populated

testify, saying she was an extraordin

future the art of gardening will come
up to the arborescenee of the year 1. If
the makers of colored glass go on im

If the world continues to improve in

Well, now, what is true in the mate

That is the meaning of Ezekiel’s wheel.
All commentators agree in saying that
the wheel means God’s providence. But
a wheel is of no use unless it turns,
and if it turn it turns around, and if
it turns around it moves in a circle.
What then? Are w’e parts of a great
Iron machine whirled armin'1 whether
we will or not, the victims of inexor

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 ac
tions may make the circuit of many
years, but come back to us they will
as certainly as that God sits on the

But it is sometimes tb* ease that
this cirele sweeps through a century
or through many centuries. The world
started with a theocracy for govern
ment—that is. God was the president
and emperor of the world. People got
tired of a theocracy. They said: ‘‘‘Wo
don’t want God directly interfering
with the affairs of the world. Give us
& monarchy.” The world had a mon
archy. From a monarchy it is going
to have a limited monarchy. After
awhile the limited monarchy will be
given up. and the republican form of
government will lx- everywhere domi
nant and recognized. Then the world
will get tired of the republican form of
government, and it will have an an
archy. which is no government at all.
And then all nations, finding out that
man is not capable of righteously gov
erning man, w ill c ry out again for the
ocracy and say, “bet God come back
and conduct the affairs of the world,”
every step—monarchy, iimitc-d mon
archy, republicanism, anarchy—only
different steps between the? first theoc
racy and tim last theocracy or seg
ments of the groat circle of the earth |
on which God sits.
But do not become impatient because
you cannot see the curve of events and
therefore conclude that God's govern
ment is going to break down, History
tells us that in the making of the pyra
mids it took 2,000 men two years to
drag one great stone from the quarry
anil put it into the pyramids. If men
short lived can afford to work so slow
ly as that, cannot God in the building
of 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 night lest it run down,
and hold it up beside the clock of eter
nal ages? If, according to the Bible,
a thousand years are in God's sight as
one day, then, according to that calcu
lation, tlie G.000 years of the world's
existence has been only to God as
from Monday to Saturday.

One day a man coines to you and
says. "Good morning.” You look at |
him and say: "Why, you have the ad- j
vantage of me. I cannot place you,"
He says, “Don’t you remember thirty
years ago giving a letter of fntroduo- |
tion to a young man—a letter of in- ;
troduction to William K. Dodge?” i
"Yes, yes; I do." He says. "I am the
man. That was my first step toward
a fortune, but I have retired from
business now and am giving my time
to philanthropies and public interests, j
Come up to my house and see me."
Or a man comes to you and says: "I
want to introduce myself to you. I
went into a prayer meeting some years
ago. I sat back by the door. You
arose to make an exhortation. That
talk changed the course cf my life, and
if I ever get to heaven under God 1
will owe my salvation to you.” In
only ten. twenty or thirty years the
circle swept out and swept back again

fire, considering all the circumstances,
but it kindled a light which shone all
around the world and aroused the

You maltreat an aged parent. You
begrudge him the room in your house.
You are impatient of his whimsicali
ties and garrulity. It makes you mad
to hear him tell the same story twice.
You give him food he cannot masti
cate. You wish he was away. You
wonder if he is going to live forever.
He will he gone very soon. His steps
are shorter and shorter. He is going
to stop. But God has an account to
settle with you on that subject. After
awhile your eye will be dim. and your
gait will halt, and the sound of the
grinding will he low, and you will tell
the same story twice, and your child
ren will wonder if you will never be
taken away. They called you “father"
once; now they call you the “old •
man.” If you live a few years longer ;
they will call you the “old chap.” >
What are those rough words with j
which your children are accosting i
you? They are the echo of the very j
words you used in the ear of your old j
father forty years ago. What is that j

you surrender the attempt? Perhaps
it may be the gristle which you gave

A gentleman passing along the
avenue saw a son dragging his father
into the street by the hair of the head.
The gentleman, outraged at this bru
tal conduct, was about to punish the
offender, when the old man arose and
said: “Don’t hurt him. It's all right.
Forty years ago this morning 1
dragged out my father by the hair of
his head.” It is a circle. Other sins
may be adjourned to the next world.
That circle is made quickly, very
quickly. Oh, what a stupendous
thought that the good and the evil we
start come back to us! Do you know
that the judgment day will be only the
points at which the circles join, the
good and the bail we have done com
ing back to us unless divine interven
tion hinder—coming back to us with
welcome of delight or curse of con
demnation?
Oh, I would like to see Paul, the
Invalid missionary, at the moment
when his influence comes to full orb,
his influence rolling out through An

through Corinth, through Athens,
through Asia. through Europe,
through America, through the first
century, through five centuries,
through twenty centuries, through
earth, through heaven, and at last the
wave of Influence, having made full
circuit, strikes his soul. Oh, then I
would like to see him! No one can
tell the wide sweep of the circle of
Paul's Influence save the one who Is
seated on the circle of the earth.
I should not like to see the counte
nance of Voltaire when his influence
comes to full orb. When the fatal
hemorrhage seized him at eighty three
years of age, his influence did not
lease. The most brilliant man of his
century, bo had used all his faculties
for assaulting Christianity, his bad in
flu'nee widening through Franre,
widening out through Germany, vrid
ening througn all Europe, wid
ening through America. widen
ing through the 123 years that have
gone since he died, widening through
the earth, widening through the great
future, until at last the accumulated
influence of his baleful teachings and
dissolute life will beat against his dis
mayed spirit, and at that moment it
will he enough to make the black hair
of eternal darkness turn white with
horror. No one can tell how that bad
man's influence girdled the earth save
the one who is seated ou the circle of
the earth, the Lord Almighty.

“Well, now,” say some, “this In
some respects is a very glad theory
and in others a very bad one. We
would like to have the good we have
ever done come back to ns. but the
thought that all the sins we have ever
committed will come back to us. fills
us with affright.” My brother, I have
to tell you God can break that circle
and will do so at your call. 1 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 back. The wheel may
roll on and on. but you take your
position behind the cross, and the
wheel strikes the cross and is shatter
ed forever. The sins fly off from the
circle and fall at right angles with
complete oblivion. Forgiven! For
given! The meanest thing a man can
do is, after some difficulty has been
settled, to bring it up again, and God
will not do anything like that. God's
memory is mighty enough to hold all
the events of the ages, but there is one
thing that is sure to slip his memory,
one thing he Is sure to forget, and that
is pardoned transgressions. How do I
know it? I will prove it. “Their sins
and their iniquities T will remember
no more.” "Blessed is he whose trans
gression is forgiven.”
But every circumference must have
a center, and what is the center of this
heavenly circumference? Christ—his
all the glory, his all the praise, his all
the crowns, all heaven wreathed into
a garland round about him. Take off
the imperial sandal from his foot and
behold the scar of the spike. Lift the
coronet of dominion from his brow
and see where was the laceration of
the briers. Come closer, all heaven.
Narrow the circle around his great
heart. O Christ, the Savior. O Christ,
the man, O Christ, the God. keep thy
throne forever, seated on the circle of
the earth, seated on the circle of
heaven!
On Christ, the solid rock. I stand:
All other ground is shifting sand.

Highest of Waterfall*.
The highest waterfall in the world,
geography tells us, is the Cerosola
cascade in the Alps, having a fall of
2,400 feet; that of Arvey, In Savoy, Is
1,100 feet, and the falls of Yosemite
valley range from 700 to 1,000 feet. But
higher yet is the waterfall in the San
Cuayatan canon, in the state of Du

some prospectors, ten years ago, in
the great harranca district which is
called the Tlerras D’sconoddas. While

Her Nme S»tf>l K«Mnl I-ltrft,
A year ago the husband of Mr*.
Mary Hirsch, a New York woman, met
with an injury that prevented him
from attending to hia work and also
made him subject to epileptic fits
Mrs. Hirsch is an expert needlewo
man. and has been able to keep the
family together, in spite of the fact
that her husband had taken to drink
The other morning after a hard night’s
drinking, he arose from the breakfast
table, drew a revolver from his pocket
and said: “I am going to klH you all.'
There was insanity in his look, but
Mrs. Hirsch remained perfectly cool.
‘ Where did you get that pistol?” she
asked, pleasantly, as the madman
came toward her. He did not answer,
but leveled the weapon at her head
The woman never flinched, but said
in ever tones: “Now, Henry, if you
oo that they will lock you up, and
then you won’t be able to get a drink
nt all." The maniac had been prepar
ed for resistance, for terrified cries,
for light—for anything but this. It
confused him and he muttered, “That's
so,” as he put away the weapon and
left the house. Half an hour later he
was on his way to the Insane depart
ment at Bellevue hospital. Mrs.
Hirsch was terribly shaken by the ex
perience, but soon recovered.
THE CHAMPION WING SHOT.

Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago. Nov.
4th.—CapL A. H. Bogardus, the cham -
pion wing shot of the world, has spent
the summer here. His shooting school
has been one of the features of the
Park during the season. He has giv
en many exhibitions and his skill with
the rifle is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, 111. He had been a sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
It rapidly developed Into Bright’s Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that ha would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed Is to
put it very mildly. This plucky man
had faced many dangers and It made
him sick at heart to think that at
last he was to be conquered by such
a cruel foe.
At last he heard of & medicine that
had cured many such cases—Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and wae
completely restored to good health.
Ho says: “I attribute my present
good health to Dodd’s Kidney Pills
and to nothing else.”

schild has made tortoises his special
