DR. 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.”
