Was there ever such another oculist? That he was particularly sorry for the blind folkal take from the fact that the most of His works were with the dSseased optic nerves. I have not j time to count up the number of blind people mentigped who got His cure. Two blind men is one bouse; also one vabo wa* bora blind; so that it was not removal of a visual obstruction, but the creation of the cornea and ciliary muscle and cryrUlltne lens aad retina and optic nerve and tear gland, also the blind man of Bethaaida, cured by the saliva whieh the Surgeon took from the tip of His own tongue and put upon the eyelids; also two blind men who sat by the wayside. In our civilised !az*3s we hate bHndnesa enough, the ratio fearfully increasing, according to the statement of European and American oculintev because of the reading of morning and evening newspaper* on the jolting cars by the multitudes who live out of the city and come in to business. But in the Isnda where the Dirine surgeon operated the cases of blindness were multiplied beyond everything by the particles of sand floating in the air, and the night dews falling on the eyelid* of those who slept on the top of their houses, and in some of these lands it is estimated that 20 out of 100 people are totally blind. Amid all that crowd of risionlees people, what work for an oculist! And I do not believe that more than one out of a bundled of that surgeon's cures were reported. That Is the oculist we-all need. Till he touched our eyes we are blind. Yea, we were born blind. By nature we see things wrong, if we see them at all. Our best eternal interests are put before us, and we cannot see them. The glories of a loving end pardoning Christ are projected, and we do not behold them. Or we have a defective sight which makes the things of this world larger than the things of the future, time bigger than eternity. Or, we are color blind and cannot see the difference between the blackness of darkness forever and the* roseate morning of an everlasting day. But Christ the Surgeon cornea in, and though we shrink back, afraid to have Him touch us, yet He puts His fingers on the closed eyelids of the soul and midnight becomes midnoon, and we understand something of the joy of the young man oi the Bible who, though he had never before able to see bis hand before bjs M A.
