QUESTIONS.--Instead of money, in what does the
wealth of millionaires often consist? Is the human
eye worth more than money? Would you take a
million of dollars for your two eyes? Are your
eyes worth more than telescopes? Which is the more
perfect, a telescope or the human eye? Are
telescopes adjusted like the eye? Which can be
adjusted more quickly? Where are telescopes kept?
Are your eyes kept in a little observatory? Why
has God given us two eyes instead of one? How many
souls has He given us? If the soul is lost, what
is the result? What causes so much blindness in
the country in which Jesus lived? Did Jesus open
the eyes of the blind and restore the sight of
people in Palestine? Are many people spiritually
blind? Does Jesus wish to give them spiritual
sight or vision?

THE EYE
THE SMALLEST CAMERA, THE MOST VALUABLE PICTURES.
SUGGESTION:--The object used is a small camera of
any kind.
I AM going to address you again to-day as LITTLE MILLIONAIRES. Last week
I showed you how your eyes were more valuable than the most costly
telescopes, and to-day I want to show you how, in another way, you are
little millionaires.
Very wealthy people sometimes travel in different countries, and gather
very rare and beautiful paintings and pictures, oftentimes paying a
thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, and sometimes very much more for
a single painting. Then they bring these paintings all together in their
own homes and hang them on the walls, and as the result of the
expenditure of many thousands, and sometimes of hundreds of thousands of
dollars, they have a very beautiful and rare collection. But God has
made you and me the possessors of a vast number of pictures, more
beautiful, of greater variety, and infinitely more valuable, than all
the paintings that were ever hung upon the walls of any art gallery in
the world.
