Teit: "11". that formed tne eye, shall He not b?" Psalm xciv., 9. The Imperial oran of the human system la the eve. All up and down the Bible God honors it. extols it, Illustrates it or arraisns it. Fire hundred and tblrty-iour times it 13 mentioned In the Bible. Omnipresence "the-eyes of the Lord are in every, rU". Divine enre "a.s the apple of the eye." The clouds "Ihefyelids of the morninsr. Ir reverence "the eye that moeketh at its father." Pride "Oh. how lofty are their eyes!" Inattention "the fool's eye in the ends of the earth " Divine Inspection "wheeh full of eyes." Suddenness ,-in the twioklintf of an eye at the lat trump." OI Iveti" sermon "the litrht of thebodvisthe eyp.'' This morninff's texi: 'He that formed the eyetVtmll He not feey" The furj?on.. the lootors. tne anatomists and tbe phvsioio- cisis urnlerstand much of the glories of the two great lights of the human fa'e) but the vaM multitudes jo on from cradle to grave without any appreciation of the two great mn.-terpieefs of the Lord God Almighty. If Go'l had lacked anythingof infinite wisdom, He would have failed in creating the human eve. we wanier tnrougn tne enrtn trying lo tte wonderful sights, but the most won derful sight that we ever see is not so won- lerful athe iatrument3 through which w it It has been a strange thing to me for forty v-ars that some scientist with enough elo- juenre and magnetism did not go through the country with illustrated lectures on can vas thirty fe-t souare to sturtlc and thrill and overwhelm Christendom with the marvels of the human eye. We wanttheeye taken from all itsiechbnicalilies, and someone who shall lav aide nil talk about the ptcrygomaxillary fissures, and the sclerotica, and the ehiasma if th- optic nerve, and in common parlance which vou and I and everybody can under stand present the subject. We have learned men who have been telling us what our ori- in is and what wo were. Oh, if some one !ifuld come forth from the dissecting table mid from the classroom of the university an I take platform, and asking the help of the Creator, demonstrate the wonders of what we are' If I refer to the physiological facts sug gested by the former part of my text it is only to bring out in a plainer way tne tneo logi"al lessons at the latter part of my text. "He that formed the eye. shall He not seeV" 1 suppose my text referred to the human eyo, since it excels all others in structure and in adaptation. The eyes of fish and reptiles an I moles and bats are very simple things, be cause they liave not much to do. There ar insects with 100 eyes, but the 103 eves have less faculty than the human eyes. The black beetle swimming th summer pond has two eyes under water and two eyes above the water, but the four insectile are not equal to the two human. Man, placed at the head of nil living creatures, must have uprem equipment, while the blind fish in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky have only an undeveloped organ of sight, an apology 'or the eye, which, if through some crevieo of the mountain they should get Into the Mintiirht. might be developed into positive eyesight, fu the llrst chapter of Genesis we flu I that God, without any consultation, created the light, created the trees, created 1 ho fish, created the fowl, but when he was nl.oiit to make man he called a convention of divinity, as though to imply that all the lowers of Godhead were to bo enlisted in the icliievemciit. "Let us make man." Tut n svhole ton of emphasis on that word "us.'V "I,et us make man." And it God called a called a convention of divinity to create man I think the two great questions in that eon 'erence wer j how to create a soul and how lo make an appropriate window for that em peror to look out of. See how God honored the eyo before ne cn uted it. He cried, until chaos was irradi ated with the utterance. "Let there b light!" In other words, before Reintro duced man into this temple of the world Hu illuminate 1 it. prepared it for the eyesight. And so. after the hist human eye has been 'est royed in the final demolition of the world, stars are to fall, and the sun is to 'ease il.; shining, an 1 the moon is to turn ;nlo blood. In other words, after the hu man eyes are o mure to be profited by their hiniiii.-. tliecbandeliers of heaven are to bo iinn -'l out. God, to educate and to bias an I to help the human eye, set in the mantel if heaven two lamps a gold lamp and a silver lamp the one for the day and the el her f ir the night. To show how God hon ors the eye, look at the two halls built for lh' residence of the eyes, seven bones mak i:g the wall for each eye, the Beven bone3 curiously wrought together. Kingly palace if ivory is considered rich, but the halls for the residence of the human eye are richer by o much a human bone is more sacred than elephantine tusk. Keo how God honored th- ev m w'.vm He ma le a roof for them, so that the sweat of toil should not smart them and the rain dashing against the forehead honld not drip into them. The eyebrow nut bending over the eye, but reaching to th' right and totho left, so that the rain and toe sweat should be compelled to drop upon the cheek, instead of falling into this divine 'v protected hum in eyesight. See how Oo l honored the eye In the fact presented by an itomists and rdivsiologists that there are so I contrivances in every eye. For window shutters, the eyelids opening and closing "1, 0 times a day. The eyelashes so con it ru -ted that they have their selection as to i what shall be admitted, saying to the dust, I "Stay out," an 1 saying lo the light, "Cvm j in.' For inside curtains the iri, or pupil of t lie eye, a "cording as tlv light is gr.i'nr or j less, contracting or dilating. i The eye of the owl is blind in the day- ; time, the eyo of some creatures aro blind at night, but the human eye so tnarvelous'y : constructed can see both by day an 1 by night. Many of the other creatures of Go 1' can move the eye only from side to side, i but the human eye so marvelously con-; Mructed has one muscle to lift the eye, and, an dlier muscle to lower the eye, and an other muscle to roll it to the right, au 1 an- j other muscle to roll it to the left, and an other muse!" parsing through a pullev to turn it rouud and rouu 1 an elaborate gear ing of six muscles as perfect as G rl could make them. There also is the retina, gathering the rays of light and parsing the visual impression along the optic nerve, about the thickness of the lampwick pass ing the visual impression on to the senoris n and on Into the soul. What a delicate lens, what nil exquisit J screen, what soft cushions, what wonderful chemistry of tho human ye! The eye. washed by a slow stream ol notsture whether we sleep or wake, rollin right focus. The mieroseopist moves this way and that and adjusts and readjusts tho magnifying glass until it is prepared to do its work, but th' human eye, without a touch, N'holds the star and the smallest in- scet.

Then also is the merciful ar rangm"nt of the tMr gland, by which the eye is v.a-he'l. and from which rolls the tide whi.-h lrings the relief that comes ia tears when some Iwreavement or great loss strikes us. The tear not an augmentation of sor row, but the breaking up of the arctbi of froen grief in the warm gulf stream of con solation. Incapacity to weep is madness or b"uh.

If the eye gay cne thing and the lip? say an other thing, you believe the eye rather than the Up?. The eyes of Archibald Alexander anl Charles G. Tinney were the mightiest part of their sermon. George Whitefiell en thralled great assemblages with his eyes, though they were crippled with Ptrabismu. Many a military chieftain has with a looic hurled a regiment to victory or to death. Martin Lather turned his great eye on an as sassin who came to take his life and the vil lain fled- Under the glance of the hom:in eyethettger, with Mvetimes a man's stren?t"i. suarls back Into th African jungle. B it those best appreciate the value of th t-V' who have lost it. The Emperor Adrian bv accident put out the eye of his servant, an 1 he said to his servant: "What shall I pav you in. money or in lands? Anything yo" ask me. I am so sorry I put vour eve out." But the servant refuedto put any flnmcinl -stimate on the value of the eye. aud w!in the Emperor urged and urge ngaiu th- mat ter he said. "Oh. Emperor. I want nothing but my lost eye!" Alas for those for w'om a thick and impenetrable veil is drawn t toss the face of the heavens and the fac-' of on s own kindred. That was a pathetic .seen when a blind man lighted a tor :!i at night and was found passing along the hig'iwiy. and some one said, "Why do you carry Hi it torch, when you can't see?" "Ah." ai I h". "I can't see. but I carry this torch thnot!i"-s may eeo mo and pity my helples.sne-, and not run me down." Samson, tho giant, with his eyes put out by t h-j Phil istines, is more helpless than the smallest! dwarf with vision undamage'. All the sympathies of Christ were stirred wheir He saw Bartimeus with darkened retina, and the only salve Jle ever ma le that we read of was a mixture of dust and saliv.i and a prayer, with which He cured the yes of a man blind from his nativity. The value of the eye is shown is much by its catastro phe as by its healthful action. Ask th man who for twenty 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 tho hospital the victim of ophthalmia. Ask tho man whose eyesight perished in a pow ler blast.. Ask the Bartlmen3 who never met a Christ or the man borri blind who is to die blind. Ask him. This morning. In my imperfect way. I hive only hinted at the splendors, thi glo ries, the, wonders, the divine revelations, the u,ooi:alyp.s"s of the human eye, and I stagger back from the awful portals of the physiol ogical miracle which must have taxel the in j 'unity of a Go 1, to cry out in your eari tin word i of my text, "He that forme I the eye, shall He not see?" Shall Herschel not know as much as his telescope? Shall Fr iuuhofcr not know as much as hU sp9 troscojio? Shall Xwammerdan not know a much as his microscope? Shall Dr. Hooke not know as much as his micrometer? Shall the thing formed know more than its mas ter? "He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" Tho recoil of this question is tremendous. We stand at tho center of a vast circumfer ence of observation. No privacy. On us, eyes of cherubim, eyes of eeraphim, eyes of archangel, oye.3 of God. We may not be a'jlo to see the habitants of other worMs, but perhaps they may bo abl9 to see us. We have not optical instruments enough to descry thorn; perhaps they have optlc.il in struments strong enough to descry us. Tho mole cannot see the eagle mid sky, but tho 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 cau see the towers of our cities, the Hash of our seas, the marching of our processions, the white robes of our wod ding, the black scarfs of our obsequies. It passes out from the guess into the posi tive when we are told in the Bible that the inhabitants of other worlds do come as con voy to this. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation? But human in spection, and angelic inspection, and stellar iusection, and lunar inspection, and solar inspection are tame compared with the thought of divine inspection. "You con verted mo twenty years ago," said a black uiau to my father. "How bo?" said my father. "Twenty years ago," said tho other, "in the old schoolliouse prayer meeting at Bound Brook you said in your prayer, Thou, God, seest me,' and I hal no peace under the eye of God uutil I became a Chris tian." Hear it. "The eyes of the Lord aro iu every place." "His eyelids tr;-the chil dren ot men." "His eyes were as a ilaine of lire,1' "I will guide thee with Mine eye." Oil, the eyo of God, so full of pity, so full of power, so full of love, so full of Indigna tion, so full of compassion, so full of mercy! How it peers through the darkuess! How it outshines the day! How it glares upon the offender! How it beams ou the penitent soui! Talk about the human eye as being Indescribably wonderful! How much more wonderful the great, searching, overwhelm ing eye of God! All eternity past and all eternity to come on that retina. The eyes with which we look into euh other's face to-day suggest it. It stands written twice on your lace and twice on mine, unless through casualty one or both have been obliterated, "fie that forraedtha eye, shall He not see?" Ou, the eye of God! It sees our sorrows to assuage them, sees our perplexities to disentangle them, seea our wauts to sympathize with them, if we light Him back, the eye of an antagonist. If wo ask His grace, the eye of an everlasting friend. You often Mud in a book or manu script a star calling your attention t a loot- note or explanation. That star the printer t ails an asterisk. But all the stars of lie night are asterisks calling your attention to God in all observing GoJ. Our every nerv a divine handwriting. Our every muscle a pulley divinely swung. Our every lone sculpture I with divine suggestion. Our every eye a reflection of the-divine eye. Gol j above us. and God beneath us, and God be fore ih, and Go 1 b hinl us, and God within. i ns. What a stupendous thing to live! What a . stupendous thing to die! No such thing as hidden trangression. A dramatic advocate , in oldn times, at night in a courtroom, per . mii lod of the innocence of his client charged j with murder and of the guilt of the witness who was tryiug to swear the poor man's life ; away that advocate took up two bright limps and thrust them close up to the face of the witness and cried, "May it please the j court and gentlemen of the jury, behold the i murderer: and t Id man. practically under l that awful gl ire, confessed that he was the j criminal instead of the man arraigned at the i ba-. Oh. my friends, our most hidden I sm is under a brighter light than that. It is under the burning eve of God. He is an l sees rov afl-iirs." Can you see the point of a pin? t an vou see the eve of a needle? Can vou see a mote in the sunbeam? And has Hoi given you that power of minute observation, and does H not possess it Himself? "11 that formed the eye. shall Re not see?" But you say: "Goi is iu one world and 1 am in another world. He smi so far off from me I don t really think H sees what is g ang on in my life." Can vou se the sua y..0)0,0J mi lew away, and do you not think vt M ii.-u a proionoi visiou.' i;ut vou sav. " There are phases of my life and there are c dors hade4 of color in my annoyances ; and my vexations that I don't think God can understaud. Does not God gather up all wir coiors auu an me snajes ol color iu the rainliow? And do you suppose there is ar.y phase or any sha le in your life He has not gathered up in His own heart? Besidesthatl want to tell you a will soon all ba over, this struggle. That eye of yours, so exqutsitely fashioned and strung, and hinged and roofed, will before long 1 cl-sed in the list slumber. Loving hands will smooth l jwu the silken fringes. So 11- giveth His beloved sleep. A legend of St. Frotohort is lhat his mother was blind, and he wa so s rely pitiful for the misfortune that oiie day in sympntny he kissed her eves, and by mira cle she saw everytuing.

Mr ltoliert Ball, of Cambridge, save. inaiect n', lecture on the stars, that there ia no l nut lo tl e nniverse, no on tsiele boundary no i pace Lnyond the stars no space where theieareno siars, and he tries to bring ihis idea within our reach by telling us that elec tricity travels on tho wires l.SO.OuO miles iu a second and a message could bo sent seven times around the eanh in the tick of a clock, and to the moon in a second and a hair and to the snn in eight minute , but it wonl l lake four years to send a telegram to Alpha Centan- ri. the star that is nearest the earth. Over our heads and visible to the naked eye are stars so remote that if when Columbn? discoverol Ameiica ho had telegraphed I he news to them Hie message would not j et. have reachel them. But the telescope at the Lick eibservatorv his t relight stara into view so utterly distant thit if tho wise men who visited the Savior at his birth had telegraphed the glad tidings to these stars ti e message would still be going on and on a'idon at the speed of 180,000 miles every s c )iii and not have gotten there. Well, that settles it. I don t want lo try to tii ink any farther than that, lm afraid it wouid strain my mind like Cube paid when he nfm-edto shoot at a iquirrel in the top of a very high pine said he didn't like to strain his gnu. And now the astronomers declare that Ibis so lar system or ours is a very limited affair when compared with the other solar systems that the big te e cope has eliscovered. That instrument magnifies l.Ont) times, and has actu illy brought tiie moon within sMU miles of the earth. I wish they would quit feol;ng with that moon. F.rst tiling wo know it will get looo from i's orbit and come tearing down upon the ear h and tiiocu a hole to the hollow and ettn all on fire. I don't see much use in the moon nohow. except to tell when to make soap and kill hogs and plant potatoes. Ihey are making so much light by electricity now "that b.-fore long we wo.it need any moonlight. U ut what are we lxior mortals who are jump- ing up ana aown utKn tins little tarlli hght ni', fussing and quarreling about our lights, our property, our money. Ate the angels all up among the stars and we the only sinners. the prisoners of hope, confineel here as a sort of Bct&ny Bay a place tr probation whuie we may have a chance to repent and prepare our selves for another Inbitatioi. even a heavenly. erilyr i' is all a mvstery one little planet full of people who don't know wbene'e they came n-r whither they aro going and who cm t arid a (lay to their existence! I hey don t know by what power thev raise an arm or step a foot for w aril or breathe tho breath of life, bui don't they brag was there ever such a conce ted Felf satisfied set of creatnres! They are carried along in ppace at the rate of 60,000 miles an hour, and turn a somersault cvrry dty 8.CJ0 miles high, and sleep hair the time and never stop to think who it is that holds the earth in balance and keeps them safe in their terilous journey. But don't we brag brag about Chi cago and New York and Atlanta ana tvtrythin.1 we do, just like wo mailt) tne car.u auu were driving it around the sun with a pair cf lines and popping a whip as we go. Wrs there ever S'ich check and assurance? But there is another side to this picture, The people are not all fools and braggarts There are some who ponder on these things and humble themselves ucder the mighty hand of the Creator. And Revelation tells us that we are of very great connequence; that we were ma le in the imsge of our Maker; a little low r than the n je!s, and the mind can't conceive what has been prepared in heaven for thos who love God and keep His com ni aud men 'a. Then what else should we d'j? A happy, tiu?t '.ii g iKet said: "Tho world is very lovely Omy God 1 1 bank Thee that I live." Well, it is lovely, and it grows more so as tin years roll on. Tbe houses are prettier, and our homes more comfortabK The tnrsea are finer, and 8) are the cattle and hogs and ch'ckens and dogs. The farms and orchards are finer. I came by Tift on and Cyclontta the other day and it was a feast to look npon the long rows oi trees laden with peaches and pears and plums aud figs and everything good to eat. Cycloneta is tho piettiest farm 1 ever saw anywhere. Here are 2,000 acres in he piney woods that Mr. Spaiks cleared and cultivated as an exp?rim.ut, and it has proved a great success. It is a luxury to look at it the corn and cotton and oats and vegetables alternating in the long luxuriant rows. And then the orchards ladn with 1 nhels and bushels of blushing fruit. Thii farm has pai 1 good dividends, and there ar thou-ands of acre all around it thit are just as good. After all it is the man and tbe plan that succeed in anything, and one man's sue cei aff- ts a whole neighborhood. For mild round Cich.n- ta and Tifton the farmers art doin: bet te-than they ever did, foe they bavt i n example b 'fors them and tr to iruita'e it. Bill Aki- in Atlanta Constitution.

The tali, annual sun flower will Drove this. Us seeds bruised and pressed yield an oil as weet and as fine as that we import from Florence. From a bushel of this seed a gallon ot oil may be drawn and with this ad vantage, that it can be obtained at any time, quite soft, bland and fresh.
