The subject of to-day's sermon was : "Crooked Things." Text, Isaiah xl, I: "The crooked shall be made straight." < iconic try, from the time it was discovered on the banks of the Nile, which, by its overllow annually obliterated f o landmarks, and the restoration of the < landmarks made such a science necessary?I say, (Jpoinetry, ever since the, has been busy with lines, straight lines, curved lines, lines in angles and cones and spheres, hut has never been ah'e to evolve anv beauty from a line (but w:.s merely crooked. The cire'o and the square were always considered ndm' ahle. Isaiah recognizes the circle and says : "The Lord sits upon the circle "I the earth." The altar ?>1 tin; ancient, tabernacle was "tour square," and t! e breastplate of the priest "lour square. ' and heaven, according to John, Is "lo< square." Jhil ' .e liible has no admir lion tor lines t. .1 are merely crooked, i Indeed, my text in prophesying titworld's complete reciiiicalion declare- : "The. crooked sliall be made straight.
