The World Turned Upside Down

We find in some of the papers an outline of a sermon said to have been delivered by Father Hallock, a quaint preacher of former days in Connecticut, from the text, "These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also." He remarked: "I shall divide my subject into three parts, and it will be my object to show, 1. That God made the world right side up; 2. That the Devil entered paradise and turned the world upside down; and, 3. That Christ and his apostles came to place the world where it was at first." It would be difficult to find a more natural and sensible "dividing of the subject" than that.
