earer he is drawn on to that abyss, until he
gives one unearthly scream, and over he goes. Ah, my friends, this is
the case with hundreds in this city. They are in the current of riches
of pleasure, of drink, that will take them to the whirlpool.

A Blind Man Preaches to 3,000,000 People.

I was at a meeting in London, when I was there, and I heard a man
speaking with wonderful power and earnestness. "Who is that man?" I
asked, my curiosity being excited. "Why, that is Dr. ----. He is blind."
I felt some interest in this man and at the close of the meeting, I
sought an interview, and he told me that he had been stricken blind when
very young. His mother took him to a doctor, and asked him about his
sight. "You must give up all hope," the doctor said. "Your boy is blind,
and will be forever." "What, do you think my boy will never see?" asked
his mother. "Never again." The mother took her boy to her bosom and
cried, "Oh, my boy, ''Who will take care of you when I am gone? Who will
look to you?"--forgetting the faithfulness of that God she had taught
him to love. He became a servant of the Lord and was permitted to print
the Bible in twelve different languages, printed in the raised letters,
so that all the blind people could read the Scriptures themselves. He
had a congregation, my friends, of three millions of people, and I
think that blind man was one of the happiest beings in all London. He
was naturally blind, but he had eyes to his soul, and could see a bright
eternity in the future. He had built his foundation upon the living God.
We pity those who have not their natural sight; but how you should pity
yourself if you are spiritually blind.

Money Blind.

I heard of a man who had accumulated great wealth, and death came upon
him suddenly, and he realized, as the saying is, that "there was no bank
in the shroud," that he couldn't take anything away with him; we may
have all the money on earth, but we must leave it behind us. He called a
lawyer in and commenced to will away his property before he went away.
His little girl couldn't understand exactly where he was going, and she
said: "Father, have you got a home in that land you are going to?" The
arrow went down to his soul. "Got a home there?" The rich man had hurled
away God and neglected to secure a home there for the sake of his money,
and he found it was now too late. He was money mad, he was money blind.
