expense. There are Institutions for those 10
whom God has given eyes that see not.
ears that hear not. tongues that speak
not and minds from which reason has
fled. Within their walls the sightiess and
the deaf and dumb are taught by compe-
tent teachers. ard the poor demented are
treated by skilled physicians. and cared
Tor by tender hearts ana gentle hands.
