God created 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. 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 compass. Every artist has his moulding room, where he may make fifty shapes; but he chooses one shape as preferable to all the others.
I will not say that the Giant’s Causeway was the world’s moulding room, but I do say, out of a great many figures, God seems to have selected the circle as the best. He created the stars in a circle, the universe in a circle, and the throne on which He sits is the center of that circle.—TALMAGE.
