The wheel, invented by whom I know net, but it is sugvested to us by the fact that the planetary system 1s a wheel, and censtellations and galax- ies are wheels, and all of these small er wheels working imto the great wheel of the universe. the axis of which 1s the veriphery on which rests the throne of God. Show me which way a majority of the world’s wheels turn, and I will tell you whether it is rolling toward redemp- tion or ruin; and tell how many revolutions they make in an hour, and 1 will tell you how near the world is to its disenthrallment or de- molition, In our day the principle at the wheel has come to be applied te amusements and recreation, and the yelocipede, and and trycicle, and the roller skate, are the epnsequence,and the thousand-voiced question to be met Are roller skates wheels ot help like those which Ezekiel heard, or wheels of destruction like those that racketed im the ears of Nahum?

Thave for twenty-five Waiting tor some new style of amuse ment, healthtul for body and hoping it might come in time to rescue this generation. Such amusements have been appalling!y scarce.

Consecutive amusement of that sort makes thriving business tor undertakers and affords tragedies of illustration for discourse on the text, “*The end thereot is death.” IS ROLLER SKATING THE BEST AMUSE- MENT? What out young people want in their amusement is recreation for body and soul, something that will allow them to be asleep on their pillow at rr o'clock every mght and 7:30 in the awake fully rested at morning; something that will put our boys and girls at the goal of manhood and womanhoed ready for | wsetul and practical life, not invalids at 19, 20 and 11, not humanity, not masculine or femi nine apologies, but to cam mand respect and with their own splinters of ready mght arm under God shove aside all | obstacles Wulthis modern roller | skating amusement help do this?
