Lesson xxxvii.] THE EYE. 285 



" must we form of Him, who has bestowed this 

 " wonderful gift, and in the highest perfection, not 

 " on man only, but on the brute creation, nay, 

 " on the vilest of insects !" 



Indeed, if we do but reflect upon the many diver- 

 sified and beautiful scenes which are made visible 

 to us by means of the organ of Sight, and consider 

 the deplorable state, and the many inconveniences 

 those persons lie under, who are deprived of this 

 blessing, our hearts ought to overflow with thank- 

 fulness to that kind BEING who has bestowed so 

 useful an instrument as the Eye upon us, to add to 

 our convenience and delight j and whose superin- 

 tendency protects it from those injuries to which 

 ii is continually exposed.
