Subject:
(Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1900.)
Wasminarox, D. C.—The discourses of Dr.
Talmage is a lesson of gratitude for that
which none of us fully appreciate and
shows the Divine meaning in our physical
structure; text, I Corinthians xti,, 21, “The
eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no
nead of thee.”
These wotds suggest that some time two
very important parts of the human body got
{nto controversy, and the eye became nso.

Comparad
with myself what an insignificant thing is
the human hand! I look down upon it,
There it hangs, swinging at the side, a
clump of muscles and nerves, and it can-
not see an inch either way, It has no lus-
ter compared with that whieh I beam
forth.” “What senseless talk,” responds
the hand. “You, the aye, wouid have been
put ont long ago but for me. Without the
food I have earned you would have been
glghtioss and starved to death years ago.
You cannot do without me any beiter than
I ean do without you.” At this part of the
Yisputation Paul of my text breaks in and
ends the eontroversy by deciaring, “The
eye cannot say unto the hand, I bave no
nead of thee.”
Fourteen red and thirty-three
times, as nearly as I can eouut by ai i of
concordance, does the Bible speak of the
human hand, We are ail familiar with the
hand, but the man bas yet to bs bora who

ment. Sir Charles Bell, the Eopglish sur

Waterloo, where he bad been ampuinst

and wrote a book entitied “The Hand: Its
Mechanism and Vital Endowments as Evi

book that only a selentist whe Is familiar

physiology can understand it.
So we are all going on opening and shut

the hand, ignorant of much of the reveia-

ing beings suould have weapons of delanse,
and hence the slephant’s tusk, and the
horse's hoof, and the cow's horn, and the
lion's tooth, aad the inseot’s sting, Having
given weapons of defense to tha lower
orders of living beings, of course He would
not leave man, the highest order of living
beings on earth, defenseless and at the
merey of brutal or rmafflan attack. The
right —yea, the duty-~of sell defense is so
evident it needs no argumentation. The
band is the Divinely fashioned weapon of
defense, Wa may seldom bave to use it
for such purposes, but the fact that we are
equipped insures safety. Tbe hand is a
or

weapon sooner loaded than any gun,
sooner drawn than any sword, Its fingers
bent into the palm, It becomes a olf
demolition.
What a defense it is against accident!
There have been times in all our experi-
ences when we have with the hand warded
off something that would have extinguished
our eyesight or broken the skull or erippled
us for a lifetime. While the aye has dis-
sovered the approaching peril the hand
has beaten it back or struck it down or
disarmed it, ivery day thank God for
your right hand, and if you want to hear
ita eulogy ask bin who in swilt revolution
of machinery has had it erashed or at
Chapultepec or South Mountain or San
Juan Hill or Bedan lost it.
And in passing let me say that he who
has the weapon of the hand uninjured and
in full use needs no other. You cowards
who walk with sword cane or carry a pls-
tol in your bip pocket had better lay aside
your deadly weapon. At the frontier or in
barbarous lands or as an officer of the law
about to make an arrest such arming may
be necessary, but no citizen moving in
these civilized regions neods such reis-
forcement. If you are afraid to go down
these steeets or along these country roads ©
