The surgeons, th docfors, the anatomists and the phystolo Kists understand much of the glories of th two great lights of the human faoe, but th' vast multitudes go on from cradle to grav without any appreciation of the two grea masterpieces of the Lord God Almighty. I God had lacked anything of infinite wisdom He would have failed in creating the humai eye. We wander through th? earth tryin) to see wonderful sights, bat the most won oerful sight that we ever see is not so won derful as the instruments through which w< eelt. It has been a strange thing to me for fort years that some soientlst witn enougn eio quence and-magnetism did not go tnrougl the country frith frustrated lectures on can vas thirty feet square to startle and thrill aa< overwhelm Christendom with the marvels o the human eye. We want the eye taken fron all ltateehhnlciklltles, and someone who shal lay aside all talk about the pteryRomaxillar: fissures, and ths sclerotica, and the chiasm* of the optle neiTe, and In common parlano which you and I and everybody can under *tand present the subject. We have learnec men who have been telling us what our ori gin is and wha>: we were. Ob, if some on< should come forth from the dissecting tabh and from the classroom of the university anc take platform, and asking the help of th< Creator, demonstrate the wonders of what we aw?I l If I refer to the physiological facts bust gested by the former part of my text It ii only to bring out in a plainer way the theological lessons at the latter part of my text, "He that formed the eye. shall He not see?" A suppose my text referred to the human eye{ since it exoels all others in structure and in adaptation. The eyes of fish and reptiles and moles and bats are very simple things, because they hare not much to do. There are insects with 100 eyes, but the 100 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 insecttle are not equal to the two human. Man, plnoed at the head of all livinsr 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 Byestgnt. in tae nrstcaapter ui ueumis wo And that God, without any oonsultation, created the light, created the trees, created the fish, oreated the fowl, but when he was about to make man he called a 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 a whole ton of emphasis on that word "us." "Let us make man." And if God called a ealled a convention of divinity to create man I think the two great questions in that conference were how to create a soul and how to make an appropriate window for that emfperor to look out of. 8eo how God honored the eye before He created it. He cried, until ohaos was irradiated with the utterance, "Let there be light!" In other words, before He introduced man into this temple of the world He Illuminated it. prepared it for the eyesight. Ajid 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 hu man eyes are no more to be profited by their phining, the chandeliers of heaven are to be turned out. God, to educate and to bless and to help the human eye, set In the mantel of heaven two lamps?a gold lamp and a Silver lamp?the one for the day and the other for the nljfht. 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 together. Kingly palase of Ivory is considered rich, but the halls for the reeidenoe of the human eye are richer by go much as human bone Is more sacred than elephantine tusk. 8ee how God honored the eyes when He made a roof for them, so that the sweat of toil 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 to ?A*KO 1 at* ar\ iKof fflln and vuo tigui auu IU iuo mil, ou iuuw the sweat should be compelled to drop upon the cheek, instead of falling into this divinely protected human eyesight. See how God honored the eye in the fact presented by anatomists and physiologists that there are 800 contrivances In every eye. For window shutters, the eyelids opening and closing 83,' 00 times a day. The eyelashes so constructed that they have their selection as to I what shall be admitted, saying to the dust, "Stay out," and saying to the light, "Come In." For inside curtains the iris, or pupil of the eye, according as the light is greater or less, contracting or dilatinar. The eye of the owl Is blind in the daytime. the eyes of some creatures are blind at night, but the human eye so marvelously constructed can see both by day and by night. Many of the other creatures of God can move the eye only from side to side, but the human eye so marvelously constructed has one muscle to lift the eye, and another muscle to lower the eye, and another muscle to roll it to the right, and another muscle to roll it to the left, and another muscle passing through a pulley to turn it round and rounrl?an elaborate gearing of six muscles as perfect as God could make them. There also is the retina, gathering the rays of light and passing the visual impression along the optic nerve, about the thickness of the lampwick?passing the visual impression on to the senorism and on into the soul. What a delicate lens, what an exquisite screen, what soft cushions, what wonderful chemistry or the Human eye! The eye, washed by a slow stream ol moisture whether we sleep or wake, rollinp imperceptibly over the pebble of the eye and emptying into a bone of the nostril. A eontrivance so wonderful that it can see the sun, 95,000,000 miles awav, and the point ol a pin. Telescope and microscope "in the same contrivance. The astronomer swings and moves this way and that and adjusts anc readjusts the telescope until he gets it to the right foous. The mlcroscopist moves thi< way and that and adjusts and readjusts th< magnifying glass until it Is prepared to dc Its work, but the human eye. without t touch, beholds the star and the smallest in sect.

Two lighthouses at the harbor of th immortal soul, under the shining of whicl the world sails in and drops anchor! Wha an anthem of praise to God is the humai eye! The tongue is speechless and a clums' I Instrument of expression as compared witl it. Have you not seen it flash with indi>;ua tion, or kindlo with enthusiasm, or expam with devotion, or melt with sympathy, o itare with fright, or leer with villain v. o i J i droop with sadness, or pale with enw, oi fire with revenee, or twinkle with mirth, or bpam with love? It is tragedy and comedy r and pastoral and lyric in turn. Have you J not .?pen its uplifed brow of surprise, or its frown of wrath, or its contraction of pain? If the eye say one thinsr and the lips say another thing, vou believe the eye rather than thf lips. Th?? dm nf ArMiihnld AleTanler and e Charles G. Finnoy were the mightiest part of thoir sermon. George Whit^flold enq thralled gr<\it assemblages with his eyes, 3 though they were cripnled with strabismus. s Many a military chieftain has with a look g hurled a regiment to victory or to death. _ Martin Luther turned his great eye on an as" sassin who came to take his life, and the vile lain fled. Under the trlance of the humin .. evethefiger, with Ave times a man's strength. 3 snarls hack into the African jungle. But r those best appreciate the value of the eye e who have lost it. The Emperor Adrian by _ accident put out the eye of his servant, and e he said to his sen-ant : "What shall I pay . you in, money or in lands? Anything you e ask me. I am so sorry I put vour eye out." i But the servant refused to put any financial e estimate on the value of the eye, and when ? the Emperor urged and urged again the mate ter he said, "Oh. Emperor, I want nothing e but my lost eye!" Alas for those for whom e a thlok and impenetrable veil is drawn across t the face of the heavens aa4 the face of one's f own kindred. That wal pathetlo scene when a blind man lighted a torch at night x and was found passing along the highway, j and some one said, "Why do you carry that . torch, when you can't see?" "Ah." said he, . "I can't see, but I carry this torch thM others 5 may see me and pity my helplessness, and not ran me down." Samson, the ^ giant, with his eyes put out by the Phil? . istines, is more helpless than the smallest i dwarf with vision undamaged. All the . sympathies of Christ were stirred when I He saw Bartimeus with darkened { retina, and the only salve He ever made that i we read of was a mixture of dust and saliva I and a prayer, with whioh He oured the eyes j of a man blind from his nativity. The value i of the eye Is 9hown is mnch by Its catastro5 phe as by Its healthful notion. Ask the man . who for twenty years has not 9een the sun I rise. Ask the man who for half a century . has not seen the faoe of a friend. Ask In the ) hospital the victim of ophthalmia. Ask the i man whose eyesight perished In a powder [ blast Ask the Bartimens who never met & ) Christ or the man born blind who Is to die t blind. Ask him. This morning, In my imperfect way. 1 . have only hinted at the SDlendora, the plo* ) rlea. the wonders, the divine revelations, the . apocalypses of the human eye, and I stagger , baok from the awful portals of the physidl1 ogioal miracle whioh must have taxed the , ingenuity of a God, to cry out In your ears i the words of my text. "He that formed the [ eye, shall He not see?" Shall Herschel not , know as much as his telescope? Shall i Fraunhofer not Jcnow as much as his speci troscope? 8hall 8wammerdan not know as much a3 his microscope? 8hall Dr. Hooke not know as much as his micrometer? Shall the thing formed know more than its master? "He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" The recoil of this question is tremendous. We stand at the center of a vast circumference of oDservation. No privacy. On U3, eyes of cherubim, eyes of seraphim, eyes of arohangel, eyes of God. We may not be able to see the habitants of other worlds, but perhaps they may be able to see us. We have not optical instruments enough to descry them: perhaps they have optical in 0MUIUOU13 OWiVUm VUVU^u ?v mole cannot see the eagle mid sky, but the eagle mid sky can see the mole mid grass. We are able to see mountains and caverns of another world, but perhaps the inhabitants of other worlds can see the towers of our oities, the flash of our seas, the marching of our procosslons, the white rob?s of our weddings, the black scarfs of our obsequies. It passes out from the guess into the positive when we are told in the Bible that the inhabitants of other worlds do come a3 convoy to this. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation? But human inspection, and angelic inspection, and stellar inspection, and lunar inspection, and solar inspection are tame compared with the thoueht of divine inspection. "You converted me twenty years aero,'' said a blaok man to my father. "How so?" said my father. "Twenty years ago." said the other, "in the old schoolhouse prayer meeting at Bound Brook you said in your prayer, Thou, God, seest me,' and I had no peaoe under the eye of God until I became a Christian." Hear it. "The eyes of the Lord are In every place." "His eyelids try the children of men." "His eyes were as a flame of fire." "I will guide thee with Mine eye." Oh, the eye of God, so full of pity, so full of power, so full of love, so full of Indignation. so full of compassion, so full of mercy! How it peers through the darkness! How it outshines the day! How it glares upon the offender! How it beams on the penitent soul! Talk about the human eye as being lnaescrtoaDiy wonaeriui: now uiuuu mum wonderful the ereat, searohing, overwhelming eye of God! All eternity past and all eternity to come on that retina. The eyes with which we look into each other's face to-day suggest it. It stands written twice on your face and twice on mine, unless through casualty one or both have been obliterated. "He that formedthe eye, shall He not see?" Oh, the eye of God! It sees our sorrows to assuage them, sees our perplexities to disentangle them, sees our wants to sympathize with them. If we fight Him back, the eye of an antagonist. If we ask His grace, the eye of an everlasting friend- You often find in a book or manuscript a star calling your attention to a footnote or explanation.. That star the printer calls an asterisk. But all the stars of the night are asterisks calling your attention to God?an all observing God. Our every nerve a divine handwriting. Our every muscle a pulley divinely swung. Our every bone sculptured with divine suggestion. Our every eye a reflection of the divine eye. God oKnira 11a anrl (InA hftnflftth 11*. and GtOll be fore us, and God behind us, and God within us. What a stupendous thing to live! What a stupendous thing to die! No such thinpr as hidden trangression. A dramatic advocate in olden times, at night in a courtroom, persuaded of the innocence of his client charged with murder and of the guilt of the witness who was trying to swear the poor man's life away?that advocate took up two bright lamps and thrust them close up to the face of the witness and cried, '"May it please the court and gentlemen of the jury, behold the murderer!" and the mau, practically under i that awful glare, confessed that he was the criminal instead of the man arraigned at tho bar. Oh. my friends, our most hidden ' sin is under a brighter light than that, t It is under the burning eye of God. He is not a blind giant stumbling through the I heavens. He is not a blind monarch feeling for the step of His chariot. Are you wronged? > He sees it. Are you poor? He sees it. Have t you domestic perturbation of which the ' world knows mthing? He sees it. ''Oh," ' you say, "my affairs are so insignificant I I can't realize that God sees me and sees my > affairs." Can you see the point of n pin? > Can you see the eye of a needle? Cau you > see a mote in the sunbeam? And has God > given you that power of minute observation, i and does He not possess It Himself? "He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" 3 But you say: "God is in one world and I f am in another world. He seems so far off > from me I don't really think He sees what Is going on in my life." Can you see the sun 1 95,000,00 ? miles awav, and do you not think ' God has as prolonged vision? * But you say, f "There are phases of my life and there are - colors?shades of color?in my annoyances and my vexations that I don't think God can understand." Does not God gather up all t (he colors and all the shades of color in the 3 rainbow?

A legend of St. Frotobert is s that his mother was blind, and he was so 3 sorely pitiful for the misfortune that one day ' in sympathy he kissed her eyes, and by miraf cleshe saw everytning.

CM all prominent in business and social circles, have tb been arrested on warrants Issued on the af- sii fldavit of J. W. Aiken, special agent of the n( Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, ^ of 300 Broadway, New York City, for de- tQ frauding six insurance companies. Theac- . cused are: Dr. T. B. Delamar. ex-Treas- fi urer of Beaufort and Justice of the Peace; . Medical Examiner Charles R. Hassell, 8el- * den Delawar, ex-Mayor of Beaufort; Jacob C. Delamar, general insurance agent; the v Rev. Stephen I. Turner, William H. H Turner, David W. Parker, William Fisher, _ Albert Wigfall, and Levi T. Noe. ??i 0. D. Baldwin, Superintendent of the Deaih Claim Department for the Mutual Reservs, said: "This swindle, while by /-j no means new, presents some features ^ of interest. Early in 1894 a Mrs. Roundtree, who, according to the application ar forwarded to us by our local agent in Beau- jj fort, was a white woman in perfect health, insured with us for 82000. In six or seven ge months we received notification of her death, m backed by a number of affidavits. On In- w vestigation we found that claims had been /-j presented to numerous other companies on [j| this same death. The affair seemed so peculiar that we Instructed Mr. Aiken to make q further Investigations. & "We learned that Mrs. Roundtree was a th colored woman who has been for many months w In poor health. Her husband knew nothing /j of her insurance. Her brother was named as beneficiary. On the strength of these facts, all the companies refused to pay, and the claim never has been pressed. The evidence f0 has been presented to the District Attorney, who Is prosecuting the matter for the local yf authorities, and the arrests followed." t,x Charles W. Camp. Secretary of the Mutual fr Reserve, said: "I do not recall the details it of the case, but we were at once convinced l< that It was a fraudulent claim. At the time th we seriously considered withdrawing all our w business from Beaufort. Our agent at that Soint was changed. This Is but one of many w audulent claims which we, In common with E| other companies, have been called upon t'" cl pay in the Southern States." th H TAILORS ON STRIKE g U] Nearly 20.000 Coatmakers in New York w City, Brooklyn and Brownsville Out. Is Nearly 20,000 tailors went on a strike In ^ New York City, Brooklyn and Brownsville, a suburb of Brooklyn, to prevent a return to the sweating system. In New York City more than 8000 tailors 2<] laid down their work in protest agaln3t an 11) alleged effort to force them back into the al conditions of labor under which they tolled H until a year ago. Four thousand men and d< women struck in Brooklyn and Browns- sli Tille. and about 1000 In New- si: ark, N. J. Besides these there were about n< 8000 persons in New York and 1000 in Brook- vr lvn and Brownsville who were idle because H th^y oould not work without those who were aj on strike, so that the total of those affected amounted to nearly 20,000 persons. Jt The principal cause of the strike, accord- ai ing to Schoenfleld, its leader, is the refusal ai of the contractors to renew last year's agree- bi ment, which provides that flfty-nine hours H shall constitute a week's work, and the min- w imum rate of wages shall be a3 follows: H Basters, $13 a week and upward; pressors, pi 810 a week and upward; bushellers, 813 and m upward; trimmers, 813 and upward; ki and finishers 89 and upward.

In 172-1 Kin drinking began to affect the , masses, aud Mr. Lecky, in his '"History of D l.? !the Eighteenth Century." <lra\v^ a terriblo s< 13 picture of the way in which "the fatal pas- g x" aion for drink was at once and irrevocably x" .planted in the Nation." On that account he , 13 fixes on that year as one of the blackest and u f" imost fatal epoch in Enerlish history. And o v are we now to be told that drink in those 1. 8 days did not cause crime? One may suppose y .that the Grand Jury of Middlesex were un- 0 der no such utter delusion, for soon after tl i' 1724 they sent in a powerful presentment, in ^ which they declared that ''much of the )S greatest part of the poverty, the robberies and the murders of London might be attrib- ti '* uted to drink." In 1750 the London phy- o sicians also drew up a memorial, and said a( : there werethen 14,000 cases of fatal illness due to gin alone. At the same time Bishop ' ? Benson, of Gloucester, one of the best p ' bishops on the bench, used these words ]< ? so diametrically the opposite of Mr. . Walker's insinuation. "Our people," he " said, "have become what they never Were P ' before?oruel and Inhuman, These accursed u * liquors which, to the shame of our Govern- a " ment, are so easily to be had, have changed y their very nature." At the same time the ^ " whole bench of bishops interposed the unsul- tl ll?d purity of their lawn between the Nation * and the curse of the drink traffic, as, in these days, our Judge* have interposed "the stainless sanctity of their ermine." They protested^ against the Gin act as "foundea on p the indulgence of debauchery, the encour~ agement of crime, and the destruction of the. * a human race." Lastly, John Wesley was far f 'O * from tMnklng of those days, as Mr. Walker-!>%< ~ now 'thinks, that "it would" have been a J" palpable absurdity to speak of a relationship , , of oauae and effect between drink and orime. ? jj? He said: ir " "But all who sell drams or spirituous ]s 01 liquors in the common way to any that will .. 10 buy are poisoners general. They drive men 11 '? to hell like sheep.

According 1 N to Archbishop Ireland, who has given the w ,0 matter close attention, in this country alone, hi 0 the cost of such liquors to the consumers has mounted in a single year as high as $1,000,000.000, or an averasrn of more than $16 to C1 >s every man. woman and child in this country. Cl h In Gr?at Britain, the cost in one year has ?j ~ been ?142.000,000, or ?/lO,OW.uw? an avere age of more than 820 to every person of < n population. It is difficult for the mind, CI _ without some term of comparison, to com- b( 0 prehend these figures. The sum spent in g, j four years for alcoholic drinks in Great , 3 Britain would purchase all the railroads in n the country, and the sum spent in six years ct lt would pay off the national debt. The aggro- & ,j prate of wages paid by all the mechanical in* q L. dustries during the year 1880 was only , l_ S947.000.000-a sum bnt slightly in excess of 1? the drink-bill for the same year. The total T value of all church property in the country j,; in 1870 was $354,483,000. Six months' abstin- . ence from drink would buy it out. 1C f- ? ^ THI EXPEBIIIEN'T 8T7CCEEDED.
