What the Blind Have Done,

A Western newspaper writer sums up
the great work accomplished by blind
men. He says:
The long list of names of the blind
who have been eminent in the various
branches of learning from the time of
Diodatus, who lived fifty years before
the Christian era, to the present time,
has no parallel. The following ere some
of the pau4es 10 which I refer;
Diodatus, of Asia Minor, celebrated
for his learning in philosophy, geometry,
and music.
Eusebius, also of Asia, lived from 3I5
to $40 of the Christian era; became
blind at five years of age; died at twen-
ty-five. And yet during so short life
time, this blind man, by his theological
writings, has. come to US and will go
down to posterity as one Of the fathers
of christianity.

brated for his learning in poetry, d.
vinity, and music,

VIM. Fl. Churchma1, formerly Super
iitendent of the Institution for the
