The most delicate, sensitive portion of your body is the eye. When I
consider how tender and open to harm the eye is I wonder that so many
of us go through life with our eyes unhurt. But God has provided a
sleepless protection for our eyes. There is a guard, always on duty.
Whenever danger comes near, that guard, our eyelid, closes and
effectively wards off impending trouble.

We started with the lowest form of life, an inanimate nut. Now we come
to the highest, the soul of man. For in each one of you there is
something eternal, something akin to God himself. The name we give that
eternal spirit is the soul. For the protection of our soul God gives us
faith, a sense of right and wrong, conscience, the still small voice. He
surrounds us with Christian homes, the Church, helpful fellowship, the
means of grace. All these things are a protection for the soul.

MEMORY VERSE, _Matthew_ 6: 28, 29

"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither
do they spin; and yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these."

MEMORY HYMN [517]

_"While thee I seek, protecting power."_
