mage, who is still absent on his summer
tour in the west and southwest,
las prepared for today sermon on 1.-THE
All Seeing" the text selected being Psalm
xciv, O. ''He that formed the eye, shall he
not seeP''
The imperial organ of the human system
IS the eye. All up and down the Bible God
lonors it, extols it, illustrates it, or ar
raigns 1t. Five hundred and thirty-four
times it is mentioned in the Bible. Omni-
eyes of the Lord are in ev-
sry place" Divine care-"as the apple Of
the eye." The clouds-"the eyelids Of the
Irreverence-"the eye that
at its father" Pride-"Oh, how
lofty are their eyes" Inattention-"the
FOOLS eye in the ends of the EARTH" Di-
vine nspection-"wheels full Of eyes"
Suddenness-"in in the twinkling Of an eye
at the last trump" Oliyetic sermon
'the light of the body is the eye" This
text-"He that formed the eye
shall he not see?" The surgeons, the doc
tors, the apatomists and the Psychologists
much of the glories of the two
great lights of the human face, but the
vast multitudes go on from cradle to grave
without any appreciation of the two great
of the Lord God Almighty.
II God had lacked anything of infinite
he would have failed in creating
the human eye We wander through the
earth trying to see wonderful sights, but
the most wonderful sight that we ever see
is not SO wonderful as the instruments
through which we see it,
1t has been a strange thing to me for 40
years that some scientist, with enough
eloquence and magnetism, did not go
through the country with illustrated leo
lures ON canvas 80 feet square to startle
and thrill and overwhelm Christendom
with the marvels of the human eye. We
want the eye taken from all it's technicali-
ties and some one who shall lay aside all
talk about the pterygomaxillary assures,
and the sclerotica, and the chiasma of the
optic nerve, and in common parlance,
which you and / and everybody can un-
derstand, present the subject. We have
learned men who have been telling US
what our origin is and what we were. Obi
If some one should come forth from the
dissecting table and from the classroom
of the university and take the platform,
and asking the help of the Creator demon
strate the wonders Of what we arel
The Surprising Human Eye.
If refer to the physiological facts sug-
gested by the former part of my text, it Is
only to bring out in a palmer way the
theological lessons of the latter part of my
text, "He that formed the eye, shall he
not seer" suppose my text referred to
the human eye, since it excels all others
in structure and in adaptation. The eyes
Of fish and reptiles and moles and bats are
very simple things, because they have not
much to do. There are insects with q
hundred eyes, but the hundred eyes have
less faculty than the human eyes. The
black beetle swimming the summer pond
has two eyes under water and two eyes
above the water, but the four insectile are
not equal to the two human. Man, placed
at the head of all living creatures, must
have supreme equipment, while the blind
fish in the Mammoth cave Of Kentucky
have only an undeveloped organ of sight,
an apology for the eye, which, If through
some crevice Of the mountain they should
get into the sunlight, might be developed
into positive eyesight. In the first chapter
of Genesis we find that God, without any
consultation created the light created the
trees, created the fish, created the fowl,
but when he was about to make man he
called convention of divinity, as though
to imply that all the powers of Godhead
were to be enlisted in the achievement.
"Let us make man." Put whole ton Of
emphasis on that word "us" 'Let us
make man." And if God called conven-
tion of divinity to create man think the
two great questions in that conference
were how to create soul and how to make
an appropriate window for that emperor
to look out of.
See how God honored the eye before he
created it. He cried, until chaos was ir-
radiated with the utterance, "Let there be
lightP' In other words, before he intro
duced man into this temple Of the world
he illuminated it, prepared it for the eye
sight. And so, after the last human eye
has been destroyed in the final demolition
of the world, stars are to fall, and the sun
is to cease its shining, and the moon is to
turn into blood. In other words, after the
human eyes are no more to be profited by
their shining, the chandeliers of heaven
are to be turned out. God, to educate and
to bless and to help the human eye, set ir
the mantel of heaven two lamps-a gold
lamp and silver lamp-the one for the
day and the other for the night. To show
how God honors the eye, look at the two
halls built for the residence of the eyes,
seven bones making the wall for each eye
the seven bones curiously wrought to-
gether Kingly palace of ivory is consid
cred rich, but the halls for the residence Of
the human eye are richer by SO much al
human bone is more sacred than elephan
tine tusk. See how God honored the eyei
when he made roof for them, SO that the
sweat Of toll should not smart them and
the rain dashing against the forehead
should not drip into them, the eyebrows
not bending over the eye, but reaching tc
the right and to the left so that the raiI
and the sweat should be compelled to droI
upon the cheek, instead Of falling into this
divinely protected human eyesight. SCI
