Jezebel. A few hours after they came around, hoping to bury her. They tind only the palms of the hands and the skull. The dogs that devoured Jezebel and the dogs that devoured Na both. Oh. what a swift, what an awful circuit! But it is sometimes the case that this circle 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: “We don’t want God directly Interfering with the affairs of the world. Give us a monarchy.” The world bad ii mon archy. Prom 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 be everywhere dominant and rec ognized. Then the world will get tired of the republican form of government, and it will have an anarchy, which Is no government at ail. And then all na tions, finding out that man is uot capa ble of righteously governing man. will cry out again for theocracy and say, ‘‘Let God come back and conduct the affairs of the world.” Every step- monarchy. limited monarchy, republic anism. anarchy—only different steps be tween the lirst theocracy and the last theocracy or segments of the great cil' cle of the earth on which God sits. Kcsolve to Do Good. 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 and put it inio the pyramids. If men short lived can afford to work so slowly 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 eternal ages? If, according to the Bible, a thousand years are in God’s sight as one day. then, according to that calcu lation the 0,000 years of the world’s ex istence has been only to God as from Monday to Saturday. But it is often the case that the re bound Is quicker, the return is much quicker, than that. The circle Is sooner completed. You resolve 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 you make an ex hortation In a prayer meeting. It is all gone. You will never hear of it perhaps, you thiuk. A few years after a man comes up to you and says. "You don’t know me, do you?” You say, "No; I don’t remember ever to have seen you.” “Why," he says, “I was in the Sabbath school class over which you were the teacher. One Sunday you Invited me to Christ; I accepted the offer. You see that church with two towers yonder?” “Yes.” you say. He says, “That Is where 1 preach,” or: “Do you see that governor's house? That Is where I live.” Slander's Foul PoIeob. One day a man comes to you and says. “Good morning.” You look at him and say, “Why, you have the advan tage of me; I cannot place you.” He says. “Don’t you remember thirty years ago giving a letter of Introduction to a young man—a letter of Introduction to William E. Dodge?” “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 giv ing my time to philanthropies and pub lic interests. Come up 'o my house and see me.” Or a man comes to you and says: “I want to Introduce myself to you. 1 went b lo a prayer meeting some years ago. I sat back by the door. You arose to make an exhortation. That talk chang ed the course of my life, and if I ever get to heaven under God I will owe my salvation to you.” In ou'.y ten, twenty or thirty years the circle swept out and swept back again to your own grateful heart. But sometimes it is a wider circle and docs not return fora great while. I saw a bill of expenses for burning Laiitner and Ridley. The bill of expenses has these items among others: . Sliillinui. Ponce. One li>u<l of lire fa^otg 3 * ( hi •ii-rc for four luu Is of wood 2 — It in. a |i<iNt 1 4 lUm, two < huiri.t 3 4 Itl'Mi, two rtaimT — 6 Item, four laborers 2 8 ' making in till 2.'s. S I. That was cheap fire, considering till the circumstances, I bat il kindled a light which shone all around the world and aroused the mar tyr spirit, a tit I out from that buiniii.g of Latimer and Halley rolled the eircle whlcr and wider, starting other circles, eonvolutmg, overrunning, circumscrib ing, overarching ail heaven a circle. But what is true of the good Is Just ns true of the bad. You utter n slaii- d r against your neighbor. It has g' no forth from your teeth. It will nevt (diiu* buck, you think. You have done the man all the mischief you can. You rejoice to see him wince. You say, "Didn’t I give II to him!"

Ills steps are shorter and shorter. He is going to stop. But God has an account to set-, tie with you on that subject. After awhile your eye will he 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 chil dren 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 which your children are accosting you’ q hey are the echo of the very words you used In the ear of your old father f rty years ago. What is that which you are trying to chew, but find it unmastlcatable and your jaws a«-lie and you surrender the attempt? T Vr haps It may he the gristle which you gave to your father for his breakfast forty years ago.

Other sins may b ii uiru- ed to the next world, but ma ax um til of parents is punished in this world. That circle is made quickly, very quick ly. Oh, what a stupendous thought that the good and the evil we •-tail ••i.'iu 1 back to us! Do you know that the judg ment day will be only tb poe s at which the eirrles join, the gao l and the bad we have done coming b:' ' -o us— unless divine intervention bin h ; c<'!)i- ing back to us with welcome t f d night or curse of condemnation? Goil's M1 Jill<y .311-morj . Oh. 1 would like to see Haul, the inva lid missionary, at the momeui when It's influence comes to full mb—h's influ ence roiling out through Amioch, through Cyprus, through Lystra. through Corinth, through Ailiens, through Asia, through Europe, through America, through the tirst century, through five centuries, through twenty centuries, through earth, through heav en, 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 'he circle of Haul's Influence save the one who is seated on the circle of the earth. I should uot like to see the counte nance of Voltaire when his influence comes to full orb. When the fatal hem orrhage seized him at eighty-three years of age, his influence did not cease. The most brilliant man of his cemury, he hud used all his faculties for assaulting Christianity, his bad Influence widen ing through France, widening out through Germany, widening through all Europe, widening through America, widening through the 123 years that have gone since he died, widening through earth, widening through the great future, until at last the accumu lated influence of his baleful teachings ami dissolute life will beat against his dismayed spirit, and at that moment It will be enough to make the black hair of eternal darkness turn white with horror. No one cun tell how that bad man's influence girdled the earth save the one who Is seated on the circle ' t the earth—the Lord Almighty. "Well, now,” say some, “this. In some resiMH-ts, Is a very glad theory and In others a very sad one. We would like to have the g 'od we have done come back to us. but the thought that all the sms we have ever commit ted will come buck 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 K-ripture 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 shattered forever. The sins fly off from the circle and fall at right angles with complete oblivion. Forgiven! Forgiven! The meanest thing ti man can do is afi *r some dilll- ! culty has been settled to bring it up i again, and God will not do anything like that. God's memory is mighty enough to linld nil the events of the I ages, but there Is one thing tb-it is ! sure to slip his memory, one thing lie Is sure to f >rgot, anil that Is pardoned transgression. How do I know it? I will prove It. “Th'dr sir,:- avl tb flr Iniquities will I |•ollH tuner no more.” “Blessed Is he whos • transgression is forgiven." Tlie liter tin 1 Circle. ; But do t.ot make tit" t intake of thinking that this doctrine of ' be circle stops with this life. It fwils on inr te’h heaven. Y< u might quote in -qiposi ■ tlon to me what St. John ^ tyx ab'.tit the city of heaven. He su; it "llcth j four square.” That does so. m t<» mill I tate against this idea of a circle.

Mr. Blunt, the venerable rector of Chelsea, who has just retired after a service of forty-live years, said the other day. “Parly!c had the key of ! my garden, and he used it.” He also j visited the old victory, which stands in ! Church street, w acre he “would sit after dinner, pipe in mouth, and his re flections would flow in a brilliant and Incessant sDeaui. But when he began to abuse anybody or anything it was no use trying to stop him. In particu lar he hated Huxley’s writings and tie- tested all science. I remember Huxley, whose character grew sweeter and sweeter as years drew on, telling me that it was no use contradicting hint. He was so great anil so old. In fact, Carlyle was a prusaut to the end. Car lyle did not often go to church, but somebody once took him to see West minster abbey. He was impressed with the building, but not with the service, ‘and ns for being buried in it.’ he growl ed, ‘I should want tt jail delivery tirst before I’d lay my bones there.’” Ch ii rch Co lupnniniiMhJ p.

There can be very little doubt that the potter's wheel, or potter’s lathe, it is also termed, represents today ttur most ancient form of machine tool known. Among the many sculptured records of the trades and occupations which so vividly represent the custom* and habits of the ancient Egyptians the potter and his wheel have beet* found frequently depicted, and it if* curious to note that through the al most countless generations siuce ibat time this crude type of lathe has under gone no material modification. The primitive form was evidently n small, round table set on a pivot and free to revolve, being turned by hand at intervals, and to this device their* were added in the course of time such simple conveniences ns a table to sup port it and a foot ora band power turn ing arrangement, displaced in recen* years in possibly a few isolated ease* by actual engine power driving. Jn general use. however, the potter’s wheel of the present time bears .ill the characteristics of the one which. 1.(8 years or more ago. served to turn out pottery attesting unsurpassai le taste and skill.—Cnssicr’s Magazine. The Guinea INk. The guinea pig is tin absurd little an imal for a number of reasons, and one of the most remarkable alwrardities about him is his name. He is not a pig of any kind or any relation to the pig. and he has nothing to do with Guinea. He is a kind of rat, and his native home is South America. Why he should have been called a “pig” no one knows unless It was on account of the slight grunting noise that he makes, and the word "guinea” In his case may be a corruption of Gui ana, where the animal has sometimes been found, though It was first brought from Brazil. His real name is the cavy. and by that he should be culled. In his wild state he Is quite differently colored from the domesticated animal and lacks the spotting of white, black and tawny color which the tamed cavy of ten has. Teatlne Their Couraffe. “One time in order to test the cour age of a Bengal tiger and a lion.” said a well known showman, “we placed a shooting cracker In the respective cages and fired the fuses. As soou as the fuses b''gai) to burn they attracted the attention of both animals, but In a widely different manner. The lion drew into a corner and watched the proceedings with a distrustful and un easy eye. The tiger, on the contrary, advanced to the burning fuse with a firm step and unflinching gaze.
