clothing, but after it had puzzled the scientists for years to provide for
the eye the necessary protection for the greatest amount Of work it
was compelled to do at very close range, under very different crcum-
stances, properly fitted glasses supply the need. The sun and
moon are the original light and there being very little use for close
vision. the eye was equal to the work it had to do. But know we have
work for keen vision at very close range and under very strong light
and very different from olden times. When our body is resting,
our eyes are dong their hardest work. Is it to be wondered
that we need to protect our eyes. Should we not take ourselves
IN some dark place and hire somebody to shake the nonsense,
ignorence and superstition out of US, when we allow our
selves to criticise anyone for wearing glasses, as it there was
an age at which to commence to wearing shoes or clothes
or to prepare ourselves for the work that surrounds US. The
eye now is not equal to the work it has to do.

TIE BIRTH OF A FAMOUS HYMN.
Mr.. Sankey's Story Of How he Com.
posed "The Ninety and Nine"

In the November issue Of the Ladies
Home Journal Cleveland Moffett telll
how the greatest Of all singing evan.
g%elists, Ira d. Sankey, came to give
the world a hymn that will live long
after his voice is stilled. 1t was dur
ing Moody and Sankey's first visit to
Great Britain. AS they were entering
the train in Glasgow, Mr.. Sankey
bought a copy Of a penny religious
paper called 1.-THE Christian Age.'i
Looking owe 1t, his eyes fell on some
verses, the first two lines of which
read thus:
There were ninety and nine that
safely lay
In the shelter Of the fold.n
"Mr. Moody" exclaimed Sankey. az
have found the hymn that I've been
looking for for years"
what is it?" asked Moody.
TITS about a lost sheep"
Two days later in Edinburg they
held a great meeting in the Free As
sembly Hall. AS Doctor Bonar fin
ished Mr.. Moody leaned over the pull
pit and asked the singer II be had not
a solo for the occasion. The thought
OF the verses he had read in the penny
paper came to Mr.. Sankey's mind,
and opening bis scrapbook, in which
he bad pasted the clipping, he placed
II before him on the organ, and after
a moment Of silent supplicatlon.
struck a full chord and began to sing.
And note by note came the now
famous song. He composed 1t as he
went along. What he sang was the
JOY that swelled in bis own soul, hope
that was born, the love for those who
needed help. Thus he finished the
first stanza.
Then, as he paused and played a few
chords waiting to begin again, the
thought came to him: "Can | sing
the second stanza as | did the iirstY
Can / remember the notes?n And
concentrating his mind once more for
the effort he began TO sing. So he
went on through for five stanzas and
after the services he put the melody
in music.

SomethinG That

We are taught to believe that the Almighty God created Man;
also that Man came into this world naked and unearned. By the best
information we can get from the Holy Bible and the histories that have
been handed down to us. as win be seen by our own observation, we
learn that man had very little to do, and very little to do with. Near
~ al the Injuries by which we are now surrounded, are the handi-
works OF man Necessity the mother of invention, compelled man to
seek shelter Tor himself. To be comfortable he had to cohe himself.
Inc numerous inventions Of Man have brought a complete change
u ms conditions and needs. Barefooted he could not trod the
rough roads before him; naked he could not stand the
changes OF the climate and the fierce storm elements. So
he had to be shod and clad. Now Man instead Of being idle must
WORK constantly. Our muscles are driven in this work by our nervous
forces. When our nerve force gives ont our muscles refuse to move.
Our nerve force is stored in our brain and greatly annoy Is when over
drawn.
hach movement OF a muscle requires nerve force. Some of the
organs OF our BODY become oyertaxed and use all the supply of ner-
vous force there In store for them and skl have work to do. Now,
this organ, in order to do its work, must either draw the supply which
should 60 to some other organ, or perish on account Of Insufficient
nerve force to assist in the performance OF it's duties. When we
were created we had no literature. we had no fine arts or
sciences, we had no sewing, reading or fancy work, conse.
quently the eye had very little to do. Now since circumstances
have changed, our eyes like our body and our feet, need to be pro-
tected. This was not 50 easy and simple a matter as the shoes and

The pneumogastric nerve which is the only one Of the ~ pairs of cram

some of these organs, If not all ofthem must suffer. So you
see it is easy to understand how spectacles properly fitted, win not on
l improve vision and prepare us for the duties by which we are sur
rounded but viii positively improve general health.
In our observance Of the laws of nature and science as well, it is
not our knowledge that hunts us but our ignorance. Consequently we
should not condemn that which we do not know. In modern inyen-
ton we can see accomplished, that which we have thought impossible.
We are asked why our forefathers and mothers did not
wear glasses when they were young. One reason was because
they could not get what was suitable for young people, because the
scientists had not discovered the trouble or the means to correct IL.
for the same reason that our grandmothers did not use sewing ma
chiues and telephones, and our grandfathers selfbtnders and thousands
OF other machines and inventions Of the 18th century which are now
Indispensable. Some people do not seem to know that we cannot a-

but just because they did not happen to know Of it they are not viii.
ing to believe. Suppose a man should wake up in our midst
like Rip Van Wrinkle did after a sleep Of 20 years and look
around him. He would no donbt be astonished to think that things
had changed and that the people adapted themselves to the changed
conditions and were living happy.
