Wheel of Progress in a Nation of Workers and Seekers
A sermon extols the wheel as God’s tool behind domestic sewing, harvest machinery, railroads, steamers, and printing presses. It praises Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, rail expansion, and the bicycle, framing technology as the triumph of peace over war and a driver of national prosperity across the North, South, East, and West.
