TALMAGE CALLS ATTENTION TO THE HUMAN EYE. Mnrvela off Tlil« OrKnn Prove the In finite Wisdom of the Creator—Di vinely Constructed Llghthousea of the Soul. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1900.] Washington, Jan. 14.—In this <Hs course I)r. Tnlmage, In his own way, calls attention to that part of the hu man body never perhaps discoursed upon in the pulpit and challenges us all to the study of omniscience. Text, Psalm xclv, 0, "lie that formed fho eye, shall he not see?’’ The Imperial organ of the human system is the eye. All up and down the Bible God honors It, extols it, illus trates It or arraigns It. Five hundred and thirty-four times is it mentioned In the Bible. Omnipresence—“the eyes of the Lord are in every place.” Divine care—"as the apple of the eye.” The clouds—“the eyelids of the morning.” Irreverence—"the eye that mocketh at Its father.” Pride—“oh, how lofty are their eyes.” Inattention—“the fool’s »ye in the ends of the earth.” Divine htspectfon—“wheels full of eyes." Sud denness—“in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump.” Olivetic sermon—“the light of the body is the eye.” This morning’s text, “He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" The surgeons, the doctors, the anato mists and the physiologists understand much of the glories of the two great lights of the human race, but (lie vast multitudes go on from cradle to grave without any appreciation of the two great masterpieces of the Lord God Almighty. If God had lacked any thing of inlinite wisdom, he would have failed in creating the human eye. We wander through the earth trying to see wonderful sights, but the most wonderful sight we ever see is not so wonderful as the Instruments through which we see it. it has been a strange thing to me for 30 years that some scientist with enough eloquence and magnetism did not go through the country with illus trated lecture on canvas 30 feet square to startle and thrill and over whelm Christendom with the marvels of the human eye. We want the eye taken from till its technicalities and some one who shall lay aside all talk about the pterygomaxillary fissures, the sclerotica and the chiasma of the optic nerve and in plain, common par lance which you and I and everybody can understand present the subject. We have learned men who have been telling us what our origin is and what we were. Oh. if some one should come forth from the dissecting table and from the classroom of the universi ty and take the platform and asking the help of the Creator demonstrate the wonders of wl*t we are! If I re fer to the physiological facts suggested by the former part of my text, it is j only to bring out in plainer way the theological lessons of the latter part of my text. “lie that formed the eye, shall he not see?” KvcoIh All OthcrM. I suppose my text referred to the hu man eye since it excels all others in structure and adaptation. The eyes of llsh and reptiles and moles and bats are very simple tilings because they have not much to do. There tire in sects with a hundred eyes, but the hundred eyes have loss faculty than the two human eyes. The black beetle swimming the summer pond has two eyes under the water and two eyes above the water, but the four inscctile are not equal to the two human. Man placed at the head of all living crea tures must have supreme equipment, while the blind llsh In the Mammoth cave of Kentucky have only an un developed organ of sight, an apology for tho eye, which if through some crevice of the mountain they should gA into the sunlight might be develop ed 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 be called a convention of divinity, ns though to imply Unit all the [lowers of Godhead were to be enlisted in the achievement. “Let us make man.” But a whole ton of emphasis on that word “us.” “Let us make man.” And if God called a convention of divinity to create man 1 think the two great questions in that conference were how to create a 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 irradiated with the utterance, "Let there be light!” In other words, before be Introduced man into this temple of the world he illumined It, prepared it for the eyesight. And so after the last human eye has been de stroyed 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 chan deliers of heaven are to be turned out. God to educate and to bless and to help the human eye set on the mantel of heaven two lamps—a gold lamp and a 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 resi dence of the eyes. Seven bones mak ing the wall for each eye, the seven bones curiously wrought together. Kingly palace of Ivory Is considered rich, but the halls for the residence of the human eyes are richer by so much ns human bone is more sacred than elephantine tusk. See how God hon ored the eyes when he made a roof for them, so that tho sweat of toll should not su.inrt them and the rain dashing against the forehead might not drip in to them; the eyebrows not bending over the eye, but reaching to the right and to the left, so that the ruin and the sweat should be compelled to drop upon the cheek instead of falling Into this divinely protected human eye sight. Iloiiorctl l>)’ (iod. See how God honored the eye in the fact presented by anatomists and physiologists that there are 800 con trivances In every eye. For window shutters, the eyelids opening and clos ing 30,000 times a day, the eyelashes no constructed that they have their se lection ns to what shall be admitted, saying to the dust, “Stay out,” and Buy ing to the light. “Come In." For inside curtain the Iris or pupil of the eye, ac cording as the light is greater or less, contracting or dilating. 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 con structed it can see both by day and by night. Many of the other creatures of God can move the eye only front side to side, but the human eye, so marvelous ly 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 pass ing through a pulley to turn it round and round, an elaborate gearing of six muscles as perfect as God could make them. There Is also the retina gathering the rays of light and passing the visual impression along the optic nerve about tiie thickness of the lampwick, pass ing the visual impression on to the seu- sorium and on into the soul. What a delicate lens, what an exquisite screen, what soft cushions, what wonderful chemistry of the human eye. The eye washed by a slow stream of moisture whether we sleep or wake, rolling im perceptibly over the pebble of the eye and emptying into a bone of the nos tril, a contrivance so wonderful that it can see the sun Do,0<X>,000 of miles away and the point of a pin. Telescope ami microscope in the same contri vance. The astronomer swings and moves this way and that and adjusts and readjusts the telescope until he gets it to the right focus. The micro- scopist moves this way and that and adjusts and readjusts the magnifying glass until it is prepared to do its work, but the human eye without a touch beholds the star and the small est insect. The traveler along the Alps with one glance taking In Mont Blanc and the face of his watch to see wheth er he has time to climb it. Oh, this wonderful camera obscura which you and I carry about with us, so from the top of Mount Washington we can take in New England, so at night we can sweep into our vision the constella tions from horizon to horizon. So deli cate, so semi-infinite, and yet the light coining Oo,000,000 miles at the rate of 200,000 miles a second Is obliged to bait at the gate of tho eye. waiting until the portcullis be lifted. Some thing hurled 03,000,000 miles and strik ing tin instrument which has not the agitation of even winking under the power of the stroke. Divine Co tiff t r net in it. There also is the merciful arrange ment of the tear gland by which the eye is washed and through which rolls the tide which brings the relief that comes in tears when some bereave ment or great loss strikes us. The tear not an augmentation of sorrow, but the breaking up of the arctic of frozen grief in the warm gulf stream of con solation. Incapacity to weep is mad ness or death. Thank God for the tear glands and that the crystal gates arc so easily opened. Oh, the wonderful hydraulic apparatus of the human eye! Divinely constructed vision. Two lighthouses at the harbor of the im mortal soul under the shining of which the world sails in and drops anchor. What tin anthem of praise to God is the human eye! The tongue is speech less and a clumsy instrument of ex pression as compared with it. Have you not seen the eye Hash with Indig nation. or kindle with enthusiasm, or expand with devotion, or melt with sympathy, or stare with fright, or leer with villainy, or droop with sadness, or [tale with envy, or fire with revenge, or twinkle with mirth, or beam with love? It is tragedy and comedy and pastoral and lyric in turn. Have you not seen its uplifted brow of surprise, or its frown of wrath, or its contrac tion of pain? If the eye say one thing and the lips say another thing, you be lieve the eye rather than the lips. The eyes of Archibald Alexander and Charles G. Finney were the mightiest part of their sermons. George White- field enthralled great assemblages with his eyes, though they were crippled with strabismus. Many a military chieftain has with a look hurled a regi ment to victory or to death. Martin Luther turned his great eye on an as sassin who came to take ins life, and the villain fled. Under the glance of the human eye the tiger, with five times a man’s strength, snarls back into the African jungle. But those best appreciate the value of the eye who have lost it. The Em peror Adrian by accident put out the eye of his servant, and he said to his servant: “What shall I pay you, in money or In lands—anything you ask me? I am so sorry I [tut your eye cut." But the servant refused to put any financial estimate on the value of the eye. and when the emperor urged and urged again the matter he said, “Oh, emperor. I want nothing but my lost eye!” Alas for those for whom a thick and impenetrable veil is drawn across the face <*f the heavens and the face of one’s own kindred. That was a pathetic scene when a blind man lighted a torch at night and was found passing along the highway 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 that others may see mo and pity my helplessness and not run me down.” Samson, the giant, with his eyes put out.by the Philistines, is more helpless than the smallest dwarf with vision undamaged. All the sympathies of Christ were stirred when he saw Barttmeus with darkened retina, and the only salve he ever made that wo read of was a mixture of dust and Bitliva and a prayer with which he cured the eyes of a man hi,'ml from his nativity. The value of'^the eye shown as much by its catastrophe as by its healthful action. Ask the man who for 20 years has not seen the sun rise. Ask the man who for half a century has not seen the face of a friend. Ask in the hospital the victim of ophthalmia. Ask the man whose eyesight perished in a powder blast. Ask the BartlmeiiH who never met a Christ or the man born blind who Is to die blind. Ask him. (■oil (ilven .Mulit. How it adds to John Milton’s sublim ity of character when we find him wt the call of duty sacrificing his eyesight. Through - studying at late hours and trying all kinds of medicament to pre serve his sight he had for 12 years been coming toward blindness, and aft er awhile one eye was entirely gone. His physician warned him that If he continued tending and writing he .vould lose tho other eye. But he kept on with his work and said after sitting In total darkness: "The choice lay be fore me between dereliction of a su preme <hity and loss of eyesight. In such a case I could not listen to the physicians, not If -Escniapius himself had spoken from his sanctuary. I could not but obey that Inward moni tor. I know not what spoke to me from heaven." Who of us would have grace enough to sacrifice our eyes at the call of duty? But, thank God. some have been en abled to see without very good eyes. General Havelock, the son of the more famous General Havelock, told me this concerning his father: In India, while his father and himself with the army were encamped one evening time after a long march, General Havelock called up his soldiers and addressed them, saying in words as near ns I can recol lect: “Soldiers, there are 200 or 300 wo men, children and men at Cawnpur at the mercy of Nana Sahib and his butchers. Those poor people may any hour be sacrificed. I low many of you will go with me for the rescue of those women and children? I know you are all worn out, and so am I. But all those who will march with me to save those women anti children hold up your hand.” Then Havelock said: “It is almost dark, and my eyesight is very poor, and 1 cannot see your rais ed hands, but I know they are all up. Forward to Cawnpur!” That hero’s eyes, though almost extinguished in the service of God and his country, could see across India and across the centuries. But let anybody who has one good eye be thankful and all who have two good eyes be twice as thank ful. Take care of your eyes and thank God every morning when you open them for capacity to see the light. 1 do not wonder at the behavior of a poor man in France. ^Ile had been born blind, tint was a skillful groom in the stables. A surgeon riding up one evening gave his horses into the care of the blind groom. Late at night the trav eling surgeon went to the stables and found the groom still at work upon the horses, and the grateful.and sympa thetic surgeon resolved in the morn- lug to reward the blind groom with money. But in the night the surgeon bethought himself that perhaps he %>iihl give the groom something bet- tv’r than money. In the morning he said to the blind groom: “Stop out into the sunshine. You are 40 years of age. I could surely have cured your blind ness if I bad seen you sooner, but come to Paris and I will give you sight if you do not die under the operation.” Paying tho poor man’s way to Paris, the operation was successful. For the first time the man saw his wife and children, and having taken a good look at them he turned and said, “Let me look on my friend the surgeon, who has opened all this beautiful world to me and shown me my loved ones.” Was not that glorious? Only those who have been restored from utter blindness can appreciate the omnip otent blessing of eyesight. AViKiluiti of (lit? Almighty. The Earl of Bridgewater in his last will and testament bequeathed $10,000 for essays to be written on the [tower and wisdom and goodness of God as manifested in creation, and Sir Charles Bell, the British surgeon, fresh from Coruna and Waterloo, where he had been tending the wounded and study ing the formation of the human body amid the amputating horrors of the battlefield, accepted the invitation to write one of those Bridgewater trea tises, and he wrote his book on the hu man hand, a book that will live as long as the world lives. Today 1 have only hinted at the splendors, the glories, the wonders, the divine revelations, the apocalypses of the human eye, and 1 stagger back from the awful portals of the physiological miracle which must have taxed the ingenuity of a God to cry out in your ears the words of my text, "lie that formed tl,A eye, shall he not see?” Shall Hersehcl not know as much as his telescope? Shall Fraunhofer not know its much as his spectroscope? Shall Swammerdam not know as much as his microscope? Shall Dr. Hooke not know hs much as his micrometer? Shall the thing formed known more than its maker? “He that formed the eye. shall he not see?” The recoil of this question is tremen dous. We stand at the center of a vast circumference of observation. No pri vacy. On us, eyes of cherubim, eyes of seraphim, eyes of archangel, eyes of God. We may not be able to see the Inhabitants of other worlds, but per haps they may be able to see us. We have not optical instruments strong enough to descry them; perhaps they have optical instruments strong enough to descry us. The mole cannot see the eagle midair, but the eagle mid- sky can see the mole midgrass. We are able to see mountains and caverns of another world, but perhaps the ra- hahlunts of other worlds can see tho towers of our cities, the flash of our seas, the inarching of our processions, the white robes of our weddings, the black scarfs of our obsequies. It pass es out from the guess into the positive when we are told in the Bible that the inhabitants of other worlds do come to this. Are they not all ministering spir its sent forth.to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation? The Di\lne liiHiteetlon, But human Inspection and angelic inspection and stellar inspection and lunar inspection and solar Inspection are tame as compared with the thought of divine inspection. "You converted me 20 years ago,” said a colored man to my father. “How so?" said my fa ther. "Twenty years ago,” Bald the other, “in the old schoolhousc prayer meeting at Bound Brook you said in your prayer.. ‘Thou God seest me,’ and I had no peace under the eye of God until 1 became a (.’hristian.” Hear It: “The eyes of the Lord are in every place.” “His eyelids try the children of lire.” “His eyes were as a tin me of tire.” “1 will guide thee with mine eye.” Oh. the eye of God, so full of pity, so full of power, so full of love, ho 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 in describably wonderful — bow much more wonderful the great, searching, overwhelming eye of God! All eternity |iast and all eternity to come on that retina. The eyes with which we looj Into each other’s face today sugiy It stands written twice, and twice on mine, unity tyte or botl cd. "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Oh. the eye of God! It sees our sorrows to assuage them, sees our perplexities to disentangle them, J sees our wants to sympathize with them. If we tight him back, the ejt. , of an antagonist. If we ask his grace, j tho eye of an everlasting friend. You often find in a book or manu script a star calling your attention to a footnote or explanation. That star the printer calls tin asterisk. But all the stars of the night heavens are asterisks calling your attention to God, an all observing God. Our every nerve u divine handwriting. Our every muscle a pulley divinely swung. Our every bom? sculptured with divine sugges tiveness. Our every eye a reflection of the divine eye. God above us, and God beneath us,, and God before us, and God behind us, and God wlthfn us. What a stupendous thing to live! What a stupendous thing to die! No such thing as hidden transgression. 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 wit ness and cried, “May it please the court and gentlemen of the jury, be hold the murderer!” and the man prac tically under that awful glare confess ed that he was the criminal instead of the man arraigned at the bar. Oh, my friends, our most hidden sin is under a brighter light than that; it is under the burning eye of God. Si^lit llcHtored. He is not a blind giant stumbling through the heavens. He is not a blind monarch feeling for the step of his chariot. Arc you wronged? lie sees it. Are you poor? He sees it. Have you domestic perturbation of which the world knows nothing? lie sees it. “Oh,” you say, “my affairs are so insignificant I can’t realize that God sees me and sees my affairs.” Can you see the point of a pin? Can you see the eye of a ueedle? Can you see a mote in the sunbeam? And has God given you that power of minute ob servation, and does he not possess It himself? “lie that formed the eye, shall he not see?” But you say: “God is in one world, and I am in another world. lie 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 35,000,000 miles away? And do you not think God has as prolonged vision? But yon say, “There are phases of my life, and there are colors, shades of color in my an noyances and my vexations that I don’t think God can understand.” Does not God gather up all the colors and all the shades of color In the rainbow? And do you suppose there is any phase or any shade in your life that he has not gathered up iu his own heart? Besides that I want to tell you It will soon all be over, Ibis struggle. That eye of yours so exquisitely fash ioned and strung and hinged and roof ed will before long close in the last slumber. Loving hands will smooth down tho silken fringes. So he giveth his beloved sleep. A legem] of St. Frotobcrt is that his mother was blind, and he was so sore ly pitiful for the misfortune that one day In sympathy he kissed her eyes and by miracle she saw everything. But it is not a legend when 1 tell you that all the blind eyes of the Christian dead under the kiss of the resurrection morn shall gloriously open. Oh, what a day that will be for those who went groping through this world under per petual obscuration, or were dependent on the hand of a friend, or with an un certain staff felt the way. and for the aged of dim sight, about whom it might be said that “they which look out of the windows be darkened,” when eternal daybreak comes in! What a beautiful epitaph that was for a tombstone In a European ceme tery: "Here reposes iu God Katrina, a saint, N5 years of age and blind. The light waa restored to her May 10. 1840.” PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. I’ooplt? You Know itittl Uvopti? You Don’t Know. T. L.
