est of the fair sex in view has made

Monday on the latest styles in dress
and other fashions. Each article
mentioned will be thoroughlj’ describ-
ed and illustrated and will prove a
valuable helper to the lady readers of
the Light.
BLESSED BLINDNESS.
Strange text for the Light preach-
er! Blindness and the blessedness
of it when the cry of the wisdom of
till ages has been for Light! more
Light! So will exclaim many of the
Light congregation this morning. So
■ exclaiming many will miss the sweet
reasonableness of the idea in the text.
So thinking many will realize as they
open their ears that blindness has its
blessedness as well as that sight has
its own peculiar gifts and goodness.
It is not the blessedness of blindness
that the caption of the theme sug-
gests but that there is among the
multitudinous kinds and varieties of
blindness one that may be called
blessed. It is to this thought that the
mind of the Light congregation is in-
vited this morning.
It was only on yesterday that there
was brought vividly to your minds
through the mimic representation of
the “Storming of the Alamo” one of
the most tragic scenes ever acted to
its bloody close on the stage of Ameri-
ican history. Think you in that
dark and bloody hour when brave men
looked their last on life and read their
doom in the thundering of the oppres-
sor’s cannon at the gates of yonder
old citadel that many did not pray
for blindness that they under its mer-
ciful pall might not witness the mur-
der of their comrades and brothers
in arms? Would not the blindness
that would have shut out the horrors
of that butchery from human sight
have been a merciful one a blessed
one a blessed blindness. This only
as an illustration.
While the great names of the earth
its eloquence and its poetry and its
songs conspire to. sing peans to the
praise of light revelling in the glory
of the morn and the beauty of even-
ing the Light preacher will turn aside
from that glowing theme and sound
in bls simple way the wisdom and the
beauty and the need and the virtue
of cultivating a sense of the blessed-
ness of a blindness that sees not the
things which in the seeing give no
pleasure confer no benefits add no
wealth to human experience lift no
clouds from sorrow's heart raise no
weights from weary hands but only
sadden those who see and bring in
to the heart of tenderness its unavail-
ing regret for the suffering and the
hunger and the pain it is powerless
to relieve. Think you is it not wise
to cultivate this power of non-seeing?
Every day the heart of pity grows
sore in its breast because of the want
and misery of earth. A want as far
above its power to prevent or even
aid as the sun in the heavens is above
the bottom of earth’s deepest pit. Ev-
ery night the soul of compassion
makes of its softest couch a bed of
thorns as it reflects on the injustice
of the world the inhumanity of man
to his fellows the pitiful crying and
tears of weak wpmen and helpless
children for bread and shelter and
worse than all the crying of strong
men for the work that comes not to
relieve a hunger in the home that
'eats out existence and leaves only the
bitter ashes of disapiiointment in the
happy hearth where once the fires of
hope and domestic comfort blazed
brightly.
Think you it would not lie better
for these pitying ones these merciful
ones these compassionate ones would
they not be really better off and the
victims of hard circumstances over
wiiom they so unvailingly mourn no
worse bestead if a merciful blindness
interposed la-tween their too acute
vision and the inevitable suffering of
<*arth? Would it not indeed be a
blessing to them if their eyes were
holden so that they could not see the
misery just M one's eyes are holden
in the gazing at a bright light so that
for a little season no objects are visi-
ble. Blessed are your eyes for they
iAY - LIGHT.
But there is another blessed blind-
ness that all may cultivate and covet
even without sin. That is the blind-
ness that knowingly shuts its eyes to
the faults the follies the indiscre-
tions of others preferring in its high-
er wisdom not to see. Blessed are
the eyes of these nobles of earth.con-
ferring dignity on their age and race.
Blessed are the eyes that see not the
halting steps of their fellows to blaze
their stumbling through the eye of
day. Blessed are they who think no
evil in that against which their de-
termination not to see avails not.
Blessed are those who will not see
anything evil where there is a possi-
ble construction of some better pur-
pose or motive. Blessed are those
who close fast their eyes when the
finger of scorn or derision is pointed
at some unfortunate and go out with
a prayer in their heart for the friend-
less one whom in their diviner chari-
ty they will not judge.
Blessed are the eyes that are blind-
ed to slights that see not in every in-
attention a cause for resentment ;who
have the scales so wisely before the
eyes of their self-love that they are
not wounded without cause in the
house of their friends. Blessed are
those eyes which wise in their inno-
cence see not the vileness of their
surroundings but unseeing in the
midst of that which purity
and inner cleanness pass by with the
conscious dignity of self respect and
seeing see not nor give a sign. Veri-
ly such blindness is blessed and it
saves its possessor from a world of
personal trouble and hides a multitude
of sins. Blessed is that blindness
that sees not on street or hall or pub-
lic place the effect of impudence to
attract attention but as unseeing as
though blindness were nature’s gift
passes by and leaves the street cloth-
es-horse with his labor for his pains.
Blessed is that man or that woman
who sees no more than is intended in
look or word or act. Blessed is that
father who is blind to many of the
faults of his wife and children know-
ing that it is not in human nature to
be perfect in its undress. Blessed is
that mother who is so judiciously
blind to dirt that her cleanliness does
not distress; so blind to little fault
that every childish foible is notacrime
so blind to much that disarranges
home plans and comforts that she is
herself the perpetual blessing of her
family circle. Blessed are the chil-
dren in such a home for they also
learn to be blind to the disagreeabale
things in each other and go out into
the world with a blessed blindness to
the faults of others that is in itself
an antidote for much of earth’s con-
tention covers their own lives with a
mantle of charity and extends it to
cover the universal humanity.
see and your ears for they hear said
the Nazarene and yet with the supre-
mest deference to that groat humani-
tarian the Light preacher would in-
terpose his blessed are your eyes for
they see not Verily I say unto you
many would be thus blessed.
But it may also lie that this habit
of not seeing the misery and wretch-
edness and want and sin of suffering
humanity may lie a cursed as well as a
blessed blindness for such it at once
becomes when it hardens the heart
makes callous the feeling of the soul
leads it levitical possessor to pass by
on the other side when It is In bls
power to aid. It is only when there
is no power to aid and this very
powerlessness is breaking into the
soul peace a’nd the mind peace and
the bodily strength of the over sen-
sitive that it is in order to pray for
the scales of this blessed blindness to
fall covering from sight the earth
sounds and tears and sufferings that
kill the sympathetic souls. The suf-
fering of dumb two footed and four
footed animals inflicted on them in
the thoughtlessness or the criminality
of the powers that be in the church
and in the state and on the street and
in the home raises a mighty wail on
earth.
There is no plea here for shutting
the eyes to the suffering we can as-
suage nor to the want we may re-
lievo but it is a declaration of the
need of those who are made sick of
soul and faint of heart by the over-
powering appeals of dumb suffering
to cultivate the habit of that blessed
blindness Which draws down the cur-
tains before the eyes whenever it is
necessary for self protection. While
it is true that there are not many so
full of the milk of universal kindness
as thus to suffer there are thousands
of such souls in the earth particular-
ly among the unhardened hearts of
the little ones and those whose hearts
are ever young. These do suffer as
the more calloused souls cannot con-
ceive and it would be wisdom for
them to become blind to sights that
only hurt them to the core of being
and avail not to help.
