1t is such sad thing to be blind. Let
us pray While the doctor is busy with
the delicate operation. But for how
long time will he be able to give his
patient eyesight? Well, if the patient
be 40 years of age, he will add to his
happiness perhaps so years of eyesigbt
and that will bring the man to 80 wears
and 1t is not probable that he will live
longer than that or that he will live so
long But what is good eyesight for so
years more as compared with clear
vision for the soul billion of centuriesp
hope the effort to drive back the
typhoid fever from yonder home will be
successful. God help the doctors We
VIII wait in great anxiety until the fires
OF that fever are extinguished, and when
the man rises from his pillow and walks
out, with what heartiness we will well
come him into the fresh air and the
church and business circles. He is 40
years OF age, and if he shall live go
years more that will make him 80. But
what are 90 years more of earthly vigor
compared with the SOULS health for a
quadrillion millenniums-a millen-
mum, as you know, 1000 years? This
world, since fitted up for mans resi-
dence, has existed about 1000 years.
How much longer will it exist? We will
suppose it shall last as much longer,
which is very doubtful. That will make
its existence $4,000 years. But what
are or will be $4,000 years compared
with the eternity preceding those years
and the eternity following them? Time
as compared to eternity, like the drop
Of the night dew shaken from the top
of grass blade by the cows hoof on its
way afield this morning as compared
with Mediterranean and Arabian and
Atlantic and Pacific watery dominions.
A stranger desired to purchase
farm, but the owner would not sell it
would only let it. The stranger hired it
by lease for only one crop, but he sowed
aoorns, and to mature that crop 800
years were necessary. That was prac-
ticed deception, but I deceive you not
when tell you that the crop Of the soul
takes hold of unending ages.
/ see the author of my text seated in
the house of Gaius, who entertained
him at Corinth, not far from the over
hanging fortress of Aero Corinthus, and
meditating on the longevity of the soul
and getting more and more agitated
about its value and the awful risk some
of his kindred were running concerning
it, and he writes this letter containing
the text, which Chrysostom admired so
much he had it read to him twice Ii
week, and among other things he says
those daring and startling words of my
text, 81 could wish that myself were
accursed from Christ for my brethren,
my kinsmen. according to the flesh"
Force of Tears.
Another way to get something of the
Pauline longing for redeemed immor-
talities is by examining the vast ma
chinery arranged to save this inner and
spiritual nature. That machinery start
ed to revolve on the edge of the garden
of Eden, just after the cyclone of sin
Frustrated its sycamores and tamarisks
and willows and will not cease to re-
volve until the last soul of earth shall
get rid of it's last sin and enter the heav-
emily Eden. On that stupendous ma
chinery for soul saving the patriarch
put his hand and prophet his hand, and
evangelist his hand, and apostle his
hand, and Christ his hand, and almost
every hand that touched it became a
crushed hand. 1t was the most eXpen-
sive machinery ever constructed. 1t cost
more to start it and has cost and will
cost more to keep it running than all
the wheels that ever made revolution
ON this planet. That machinery turned
not by ordinary motive power, but by
force of tears and blood. To connect its
bands of influence, made out of human
and Christly nerves, with all parts of the
earth, millions of good men and women
are now at work and will be at work
until every wilderness shall become a
garden, and every tear of grief shall be
tear of joy, and the sword of divine
victory shall give the wound to the old
dragon that shall send him bowling to
the pit, the iron gate changing against
him, never again to open. AL: that. and
Infinitely more, to save the soul! Why,
! it must be tremendous soul-tremen-
dous for good or tremendous for evil, tre-
mendous for happiness or tremendous
| for woe. Put on the left side OF the
largest sheet of paper that ever came
from paper mill a single unit, the fig
| ure /, and how many ciphers would you
have to add to the right Of that figure
| to express the souls value, each cipher
adding tenfold? Working into that
scheme of the SOULS redemption, how
many angels of God, descending and
ascending? How many storms swooplng
on Lake Galilee? How many earth
| quakes opening dungeons and striking
cataclysms through mountains, from
top to base? What MONDAY sun was put
on retreat? What omnipotence lifted,
and what Godhead was put to torturef
| All that for the soul! s
| No wonder that Paul, though possess
ing great equipoise of temperament,
| when he thought what his friends and
kindred were risking concerning their
souls, flung aside all his ordinary modes
of speech, argument and apt simile and
bold metaphor and learned allusion as
unfit to express how he felt. and Selling
upon the appalling hyperbolism of my
text cries out, 81 could wish myself &C.
cursed''-that is, struck of the thunder
| bolts of the omnipotent God, sunk to
unfathomed depths, chained into servl-
! tude to Abaddon and thrust into fur
+, naces whose fires shall never burn out,
| if only those whom love might now
and forever be saved. Mind you, Paul
does not say, 81 do wish. y He says,
81 could wish" Even in the agony he
felt for others he did not lose his bal
ance. 81 could wish myself accursed. J"
1 could, but l do not. Only one being
that ever lived was literally willing to
give up heaven for perdition, and that
was the divine peasant whom men
toned a few moments ago. He was not
only willing to exchange dominions OF
bliss for dominions of Indebtedness, but
he did SO, for that he forsook heaven
witness the STOPPING star and all those
who saw his miracles Of mercy, and
that he actually entered the gates of the
world of perpetual conf1agration the BIZ
BILE distinctly declares. He did not say,
with Paul, II could but he said, Il
will, do" and for the souls of men
he descended into hell. p"
