Good or Bad Actiona The Came Mar be Present, nut It Her be Yean, or Centuries, Before the Effect U seen, Bat It Will Coma The following1 disconrse on thesubjpet of “The Circle of the Earth” wits delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Ttttmage during a. recent visit to Atlanta, Go., from the text: It la He that sittetb npon the circle of. the earth.—Isaiah *1., S3. .When 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 shape of it, God sitting upon the circle of the earth. The most beautiful figure in all geometry is the circle. God made the universe on the plan of a circle. There are in the natural world straight lines, angles, parallelograms, diagonals, quadrangles; but these evidently are not God’s favorites. Almost everywhere where you will find Him geometrizing, you will find the circle dominant, and if not the circle, then the eurve. which is a circle that died young! 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 hard at the sides. Giant’s Causeway in Ireland shows what God ]thinks of mathematics. There are over thirty-five thousand columns of rocks—octagonal, hexagonal, pentagonal. These rocks seem to have been made by rule and by compass. Every artist has his molding room, where liS may make fifty shapes; but he chooses one shape as preferable to all others. I 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 selected 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 throne of God the center of that circle.

W hen 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. Six thousand years ago God flung this world out of His right hand; bkut He did not throw it out in a straight line, but curvilinear, with a leash of love holding it so as to bring it back again. The world started from His hand pure and Edenic. It has been rolling on through regions of moral ice and distemper, llow long it will roll God only knows; but it will in due time make a complete circuit and come back to the place whence it started— the hand of God—pure and Edenic. The history of the world goes in a circle. Why is it that the shipping in our day isimprovingso rapidly? It is because men are ijnitating, the old model of Noah’s ark. A ship corpenter gives that as his opinion. Although so much derided by small wits, that ship of Noah’s beat the Majectic and the Etruria and the City of Paris, of which we boast 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 the passengers in safety?—two of each of living creatures, thousands of species. Pomology will go on with its achievements, until after many centuries the world will have plums and pears equal to the Paradisaical. The art of gardening will grow for centu-' ries, 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 aborescence of the year one. If the makers of colored glass go on improving, they they may in some centuries be able to make something equal to the east window of York minster, which was built in 1390. 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 the skill of those very men. If the world continues to improve in masonry, we shall have after awhile, perhaps after the advance of centuries, morter equal to that which 1 saw last summer -in the wall of an exhumed English city, built in the time of the Romans,*one thousand six hundred years ago—that mortar today 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 %he world stands long enough, we may have a city as they had in old times. Babylon, five times the size of London. You go into the potterries 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. Oh no! hut 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. W’ell now, my friends, what is true in the material universe is true in God’s moral government and spiritual arrangement. 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 turns it tuyns around, apd 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, ttHfvictims of inexorable fate? No! So far from that, I shall show you that we ourselves start the circle of good or had actions, and that it will surely come around again to us unless by Divine intervention it he hindered. Those bad or good actions may make the circuit of many years, hut come hack 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 wan tea nis vineyard, iv nue the dogs were eating the body of Naboth, Elisfia, the prophet, put down his compass and marked a circle from those dogs clear around to the dogs that should eat the body of Jezebel, the murderess. “Impossible!'’ the people said; “that will never happen.” Who is that being flung out of the palace window? Jezebel. A few hours later they came around, helping to bury her. They find only the palms of her hands and the skull. The dogs that devoured Jezebel and the dogs that devoured Naboth. Oh, whatv a swift, what an awful circuit! But it is sometimes the case that this circle sweeps through a century, or through many centuries The yvorld started with a .tlieoeraey for government—that is, Ood was the president and emperor of the world. People got tired of a theocracy. They said: “We don’t want God indirectly interfering with the affairs of the world; give us a monarchy.” The world had a monarchy. From a monarchy it is going to have a limited monarchy. After awhile the limited monarchy is given up, and the republican form of government will be everywhere dominant and recognized. Then the world will get tired of the republican form of government, and it will have an anarchy, which is no government at all And then, all nations finding out tint two U not capital* of rif h W»sly x^ \-Tkv.. \ i .x.

_ and fairs oit the world. KNSB —monarchy, limited monarchy, republicanism, anarchy, only different steps between the first theocrneV aufi the last theoctaej’i of segments bf the grail circle bf the esHh on which God Sits, fittt do dot become impatient because yon can not see the curve Of events, and therefore Conclude that Gad's government is going to break down. History tells us that in the making of the pyramids it took two thousand men two years to drag one 1 great stone from the quarry and put it into the pyramids. Well now. if men short-lived can afford to work so slowly as thqt, can not God in the building of the eternities ‘ afford to wait? What though God should take ten thousand years to draw a circle? Shall we take our little watch, which we have to wind np every night lest it run down, and hold it np 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 six thousand years of the world’s existence have been only to God as from Mopday to Saturday. But it is often the case that the rebound is qalcker, and the circle is sooner completed.' You ' rosolve that you will do what good you can. In one week you put a word of counsel in the heart of a Sabbath-school child. During that same week you give a letter of introduction to a young man struggling in business. During the same week yon make an exhortation in p prayer meeting. It is all gone; yon will never hear of it perhaps, you think. A few years after a man comes up to you and says: “You don’t know me. do you?’’ You say: “So, I don’t remember ever to have seen you.” “Why,” 'he says: “I was in the class over which you were teacher; one Sunday yon invited me to Christ; I accepted, the offer; you see that church with two towers yonder?” “Yes,” you say. Ho says: “That is where I preach.” or, “Do you see that governor's house? That is where 1 live.” , One day.a man comes to you and says: “Good morning.” You look at him and say: “Why

you nave tne advantage ot me; i can not place yon.” He says: “Don’t you remember thirty years ago giving a letter of introduction to a young man— ,a letter of introduction to Moses II. Grinnell?” “Yes, yes, I da” 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. Come up and see me.” Ora man comes to you and says: “I want to introduce myself tayou. I went into a prayer meeting in Atlanta some years ago; I sat back by the door; you arose to makffan exhortation; that talk changed the course of my life, and if I ever get to Heaven, under God I will owe my salvation to yon,” In only ten, twenty or thirty years the circle swejjtout and swept back again to your own grateful heart. But sometimes it is a wider cujclc,; and does not return for a great while. I j saw a bill of expenses for burning Latimer and Ridley. The bill of expenses says: Om lojcl ot. flrS fagots.. Ss 4d flartage for four .loads of wood. Item, a post . Is Item, two chains.. . 83 4ft Item, two staples...-. 6 1 Item, four laborers...:.2s 8d That was cheap fire, considering all the circumstances; but it kindled a light that shone all around the world and aroused the martyr spirit, and out from that burning of Latimer and Ridley rolled the circle wider and wider, starting other circles, eonvoluting overrunning, circumscribing, overarching all Heaven—a circle. But what is true of the good is just as true of the bad. You utter a slander against your neighbor. It has gone forth from your teeth; it .will never come back you think. You have done the man all the mischief you can. Yon rejoice to see him wince. You say, “Didn’t I give it to him!” That word, ihas gone out, that slanderous word, on ts poisonous and blasted way. Yon think it will never do you any harm. But I am watching that word, and I see it begining to curve, and it curves around, and it is aiming at your heart You had better dodge it. Y'ou can not dodge it. It rolls into your bosom, and after it rolls in a word • of an old book which says: “With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.’* Y’ou maltreat an aged parent. Yon begrudged him the room in yourhonse. Yon are impatient of his whimsicalities and garrulity. It makes you mad to hear him tell the same story twice. You give him food he can not masticate. You wish he was away. You wonder if he is going to live forever. He will be gone very soon. II is steps nne shorter and shorter. Tie 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 be low, and you will tell the same story twice, and your children will wonder if you are going to live forever, and 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 bhap!” What are those rough words with which your children are accosting you? They are the echo of the very words yon nsed In the ear of your old father forty years ago. What is that which you are try* sng to chew, but find it nnmasticabfe and your jaws ache, and you surrender the attempt? Perhaps it may be the gristle which you gave to your father for his breakfast forty years ago, A gentleman passing along the street saw a son dragging his father into the street by the hair of the head. The gentleman, outraged at tlhis brutal conduct, was about to pnnish the offender, when theo)d man arose and said: “Don’t huffhim; it’s all tight. Forty years ago this morning I dragged out my father by the hair of his head!” It is a circle. My father lived into the eighties, and fie had a very wide experience, and he said that maltreatment of parents was always punished in this way. Other sins may be adjourned to the next world, but -maltreatment of parents is punished in

this worla. . _ The circle turns quickly, very quickly. Oh, wiiat a stupendous thought that the good and the evil we start come hack to us. Do you know that the judgment day will be only the paints at which the circle join, the good and the bad we have done coding back to us, unless Divine intervention hinder— coming back to us with welcome of delight or curse of condemnation. . “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 Antioch, through tCyp.us, through Lystra, through Corinth, through Ayjcns. through Asia, through Europe, througfC America, through the first century, through five centuries, through twenty centuries, through all succeeding centuries, through earth, through Heaven; and at last, the wave of influence having made full Circuit, 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 countonaaee of Voltaire \

ence did not cease. The most Villiajat man of his century, he had used all his faculties far assaulting Christianity; tiis bad influence widening through France, Widening out through tiermany, Widening through all Europe, widening through America, widening through the one hundred and fifteen years that have gone hy since he died, widening through earth, widening through hell; until at last the accumulated influence of his bad life in fiery surge of- omnipotent' wrath will beat against his destroyed spirit, and at that moment it will be enough to make the black hair of eternal darkness turn white with horror. Xo one can tell how that bad man’s influence girdled the earth save the One who is Seated on the circle of the earth—the ILord Almighty. “Well, now,” say people in this audience, “this in some respects is a Tery glad theory, and - in others a very sad one; we would like to have all the good we have ever done come back to us, ibut 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. 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 back. The Wheel may roll on and roll on, but you take your ^position behind the cross and the wheel strikes the cross and is shattered forever. The sins fly off from the circle into the perpendicular,' falling at right angles with complete oblivion. Forgiven! Forgiven! The

meanest tning a man can ao is, alter some difficulty has been settled, 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 ages, but there is one thing that is sure to slip Ilis memory, one thing lie is sure to forget, and that is pardoned transgression. How do I know it? 1 will prove it. “Their sins and theniniquities will I remember mo more.” Come into that state this morning, my dear brother, my dear sister. “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven.” But do not make the mistake of thinking that this doctrine of the circle stops with this life; it rolls on through Heaven. You might quote in opposition. to me what St John says about the eity of neaven. He says it “lieth four-square.” That does not seem to militate against this idea, but you know there is many a squpre house thet has a family circle facing each other, and in a circle moving, and I can prove that this is so regard to Heaven. St.John says: “I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the beasts,and the elders.” Again he says: “There was a rainbow round about the throne.” The two former instances a circle; the last either a circle or semicircle. The seats facing each other, the angels facing each other. The men facing each other. Heaven an ampitheater of glory. Circumference of patriarch and prophet and apostle. Circumference of Scotch Covenanters and Theban legion and Albigenses. Circumference of the good of all ages. Periphery of splendor nnimagined and indescribable. A circle! A circle. 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 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 Saviour! 0 Christ, the man! O Christ, the God! Keep !Jhy throne forever, seated on the circle of the earth, seated on the circle of the Heayen. On Christ, tha solid rock I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.

Yale Statistics. Miss Frances E. Willard writes the following letter to the boys of America: * Dr. Seaer, of Yale college, physician and professor of athletics, has been for eight years observing the effects of tobacco smoking upon the bodies and minds of Yale students, and he has just published a remarkable budget of statistics. He informs the public that the students who smoke are inferior in physical vigor and mental ability to those who do not. He says the smokers have less lung power than the non-smpkers, less chest capacity, less weight and are of less height. He says the muscular nervous power of the smoker is noticeably less than that Of the non-smoker. He says the smoking habit is disadvantageous to scholarship, Of those students who within a given time have received honorary appointments only 5 percent, were smokers. His demonstrations seem to be influencing the minds of Yale students. The doctor is able to report that 70 per cent, of the senior class do not smoke; that the leading college athletes do not smoke, and that not a single candidate for the rowing crew is a smoker. Young America, athletic intellectual, ethical, may well meditate upon Yale statistics. _ ~ Two Leuons Wort If Hooding. Here are two lessoni^rom the antipodes—both worth heeding: A womansuffrage bill has passed the New Zealand house of representatives, and, on a recent Sunday, the Presbyterians, Congregatidnalists, Salvation Army post and church of England adherents met in one church and enjoyed an impressive address on the text: “One is your Master, -even Christ, and all ye are brethren.” This was not a sacrilege, but a sacrament. The earth did not yawn and ' swallow them up; on the contrary, the white dove fluttered down with peace* and healing on its wings. Now Proverbs. The Interior quotes the following new proverbs: A bold man is the hope of his cause; but ^timidity promotes neither honor nor integrity. Honor for the brave, fame for the wise; but confusion to the bearer of tales. Like weeds in a garden of roses are licentious thoughts in the mind. - He who yields one steps to evil must go back two steps to regain safety. The charm of woman is loveliness; but strength is the glory of man.

—Since March 1 the missionaries of th» American Sunday-school union laboring in the Rocky monntain district have established 80 new schools in new settlements and neglected communities, induced 270 teachers and 2,382 scholars to connect themselves therewith, reorganised 41 Sunday-schools having 1,895 members, aided 135 other schools, addressed 701 meeting^ made 2,424 visits, distributed 888 Bibles and traveled 32,173 miles —A writer in the Interior suggests the transformation of the older members of the church and congretation into a senior Christian endeavor-society, after the pattern of the young people’s organisation.

•t Aunri Itaeir tTkll Properly Staled — The Mean feet ora* Pocket* the Tax, the Consumer Faya lit. Jjet os see: . ' Manufacturers, says the protection 1st, cannot lire in this count rj- without the tariff. . We dci not Relieve it But it i», nevertheless; thd protectionist’s position. Manufacturers cannot tivd without the tariff That is to say. the# are naturally unprofitable id this Conakry. “We could not seli Our goods in the competition of an open market. But put a duty on foreign importation so that we can raise our prices and we shall flourish.” But the duty paid on Imports goes to the government, and hence does not help the manufacturer directly. His “protection” consists in the shape of an increase of price on goods, which are not imported. But whence comes, the bonus? This is a visry simple question; bnt the protectionist is so dextrous in. eluding the point that we may venture to be entirely explicit. There are but three conceivable sources from whence the protection bonus can be drawn: 1. Those who pay duties. 3. The protected industries. 3. The unprotected industries. Now, does the bonus come from those who pay duties? No; the duties collected from them are turned over to the .government. Does it come from the protected manufacturers? No, they get it Then it must come from the unprotected industries. The unprotected, naturally profitable agricultural in-, d us tries are taxed to sustain the protected industries—compelled to make up their losses and par besides what the protected manufacturers are pleased

to call their profits. The protectionist dissents. Two peas and two peas make four peas, theoretically. Bat il yon rattle them up in a box, and have your box big enough to let them rattle a long way around, yon w>U presently-find five jteas and maybe a few beansc As thus* It is all very well for doctrinaires to theorize about who pays the deficit. It won’t do for plain, practical business men. Why, don’t we. manufacturers pay,our proportion with the rest? The hatter pays his twenty-five per cent to the Shoemaker, the shoemaker pays his twentyfive per cent to the hatter, and out oi the increased prices we are able to pay the farmer more; everybody gets higher profits, and it is a good thing all around.” ~' Again let us be explicit Suppose we have a community consisting of glass manufacturers, mine owners and farmers. The farmers hoe their own row, asking odds o# nobody; but the glass manufacturers and mine owners demand a bonus of $50. a year each. How, on the protection plan, will they get it? It would be too barefaced a steal to levy a tax on the former alone. They will not do that They will avoid the appearance of unjust discrimination by putting a lax on all consumers of glass and coal; they will make all purchasers of glass and coal contribute alike—$103 each—to the protection fund. Very fair this looks. Every man is taxed $100; $50 to foster the glass trade and $50 to iostef^ tlte coal trade. But mark the singulay-fesult. The mine owndcs_pav $100; the glass manufacturer pays *$100; the former pays $106. Every man taxed alike. Total revenue, $300. But now for the division. The mine owner receives $150, the glass manufacturer receives $150, the farmer— nothing. .. Marvelous financiering. All are taxed alike. Yet the glass manufacturer and the mine. owner are ahead $50 each, while the farmer—his industry is not fostered. Again, it is plain that the effective protection received by the mine owner is the $50 that he takes out more than he puts in; and that the glass manufacturer's protection is the $50 that he has taken out more than he put in; also that tlfe farmer’s loss is the $100 that he put in but did not get out; that is (even if we leave out of calculation the cost of collection of duties and the extra profils of middle men which are calculated on the prices as increased by the tariff), the “protection” received by the protected industries is paid by |he unprotected ouea—Hon.

Slum the Great Democratic Victory Wages Are Being Raised and the Wheels of Industry Win Turn JCore Rapidly. It is said that there is logic in events, hut it is na. always possible, in studying events., to discern the connection between the premises and the conclusion. Indeed, conclusions are sometimes the very opposite of what the average miind is able to see involved in the premises. All proteetionists aver and many free traders have conceded that a lowering of tariffs tends to reduce wages. Consequently it *?as natural enough to look for declining wages to succeed such a sweeping democratic victory as that which the country has just witnessed. On the contrary, however, directly on the heels of election, news came from various, parts of the country of material advances in wages. The Blacks bone Manufacturing Co., cotton manufacturers of Blackstone, Mass., announces that a higher scale of wages will go into effect the 5th oi next month. There will be a general increase of seven per cent in Lowell, Mass., cotton mills beginning December 4. At Providence, R I, the Lonsdale company and the firm of B. B. & R Knight have given formal notification to their employes of an advance on December 5, and the dispatch conveying this intelligence adds that “this actioD will doubtless be followed by other cotton, manufacturers throughout Mae state.” In addition to the occurrences, which seem to ba moving in the wrong direction to satisfy human logic, manufacturers! have begun tq increase their facilities and enlarge their plants, notably the Stewart Wire Manufacturing Ox, South Easton, -N. J. Furthermore, the various rainbow and paper' tin plate factories went out of business the very day after election. It is diffi-cult-to account for these .remarkable phenomena on any theories of any ol the economists and politicians in vogue beforB election. No democrat would have ventured to predict such immediate results of a reform victory, and nc republican would have consented tc listen to the prediction if it had been made. It all goes to prove that there are elements of the industrial and economic problem which the human mind has not yet fully grasped.—Detroit Evening News Tbe Turning: Point* Mr. Charles Macbeth, the greatest manufacturer of glass lamp-chimfieys in America, takes the ground that prosperity wul follow the dethroning of the republican idea He says: “Heretofore this government has been run on the ]X>liey that it should help individuals in their business. Now after this the individual will run his business for himself, and the government will have no right to interfere in any man’s private affairs.
