THE DANGERS OF EYE NEGLECT.
BY F. S. Rogers, Opt. D.

BY F. s. Rogers, Opt. ID.
Something should be said about
the evils resulting sooner or later
by the persistent use of the eyes
unaided by glasses after the need
is clearly indicated, Where the eyes
are abnormal one cannot transgress
long enough without discomfort and
distress, and frequently other con-
sequences of serious character
Even in simple presbyopia (old
sight, while results are not apt to
be SC alarming, their likelihood is
sufficient to justify few words of
caution
Muscular effort is dependent upon
nerve force. When there is muscular
over-strain, as must occur when
failing eyes are denied the aid of
needed glasses, an over-Dlus Of nerve
supply is expended. This eXhausts
nerve supply at those points, and
by reflex action, depletion through
out the physical system. If this
lack occurs in the digestive organs
stomach troubles result. If in the
brain, headaches and enfeebled men

Sight is an active function. IL
though we see apparently without
effort and without violation, yet
every moment Of vision is costing
its adequate amount of vital energy.
True, we cannot estimate just how
much energy is utilized In looking
for a given length Of time at any
particular oject or sense, but we do
know that many nervous persons are
very much exhausted by the use of
the eyes for a short time where
things of great interest are con-

DALLAS DISTRICT NOTES.
r. S. Jenkins, ?. L.

The District Sunday School and
Allen League Convention meets in
Allen Chapel A. NJ. e. church, Fort
Worth, Texas, next Wednesday, Sept
7th at 10 a. m Brother, are you to
meet and make round report? Your
last chance to show that your rank
is with the progressive and up-to-
date pastors Of the State.
The Quarterly Conference at Lee
Chapel A. NJ. e. church, South Pearl
Street, Dallas, Texas, was a great
success. Rev. ]. H. Bush is truly
great pastor, and the work under
his progressive administration is
rapidly advancing to great PASTORAL
charge. These good and noble heart
ed people have erected a nice tab
ernacle. The idiflce is commendable
and will serve their purpose for
worship until they can build the
desired church.
After the quarterly conference, Mr..
l. B. Allen with class No. /, served
refreshments to the delight of all
present. At $50 a. m. the Sunday
school, under the supervision of Mr.
w. A. Stinson was highly interesting
and well attended. The service was
good at II a. M AT night Rev. p
J. Kelly, now of GAMES Chapel A.
NJ. E. church preached and the peo-
pie were highly pleased with his
great discourse. AT p. m. Sun
day we went to Gaines Chapel A.
NJ e. church for the 3rd Quarterly
Il1nnfInu II a Il IN IN
preached a glorious spiritual SER
mon, which set the camps of Gaines
Chapel on hallowed fire. Rev. Car
radine is one of the former pastors
of the said GAMES Chapel; under
his administration their first build
ing site was purchased. Rev. A. ].
Williams is now the pastor and is
doing great work. He and Bro.
N. H. Ross have built nice church
edifice with the help of this great
hearted membership of 26. Oh! we
could only get a hundred members
in either Of these churches-Lee and
Gaines Chapel-them we would have
delightful pastorates.
Mrs. H. L. Price of Lee Chapel,
set a most wonderful palatible din
ner for the pastor and presiding
elder. Just think! the spirit of re-
vival has struck Carrollton; Is con-
verts added and most wonderful,
just as we said. White Rock has the
glory of 20 additions made in a
glorious revival. st. James is now
in $4,000 financial rally. The Dali
las District gives the first prem
ium, a silver service set.
Allen Chapel closed their first half
of great summer closing and Fall
beginning rally with the handsome
sum of 1922 with several departments
of the church, to report. This is
| indeed great
Next Sunday we will be with St
James, Cowanville and Dalworth
Bethel A. NJ. E. church has care
fully and prayerfully launched their
great Fall financial rally. We wish
them great success, which is as
sured by the spirit of unity in which
they have started.

stantly attracting their attention.
Some are more eXhaused by one
hour of such effort with the eyes
than they would be by ten hours of
manual labor; consequently the same
amount of vital force that would be
required for ten hours of labor may
be expended in one hour through
the medium TO the eyes
When we learn that some of our
functions are being performed at
an abnormally high tension, requir-
ing an extravagant amount of nerve
force to sustain them, which, in
turn, is rapidly waring us out, we
should suspend this high rate of
function and conserve as far as pos
sible our life forces, by removing
the cause of irritation and waste Of
energy.
A large amount Of motive force is
utilized in the function of vision,
even when it is performed under
the easiest possible circumstances,
but when there are defects in the
eye and its appendages, there is still
greater demand for nerve force to
bring about good vision.
Each nerve center is intimately
connected and in delicate sympathy
with all other centers of the nervous
system. Any redacial change in one
center sends its characteristic in
fiuence throughout the entire system.
