BLIND PREACHER BEXTON's JOY.
His Eyes Opened TO the Light While
He Was Praying for Sight.
From the ChIcago mo Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Metropolis, Ill.-The members of the
United Brethren church of East Metrop-
oils firmly believe they have witnessed the
direct manifestation of divine power in
the sudden recovery of sight by their
blind boy preacher" Sunday night and
they have for the two days since devoted
themselves almost wholly to thanksgiving
and singing hallelujahs.
Joseph Benton was born in this country
twenty years ago. Nine days after birth
his eyes became infamed, and when the
fever had left them three months later
the sight was entirely gone His parents
were poor, and, although a local occulist
did what he could to restore the sight,
the case was pronounced incurable. No
treatment had been given for the last
twelve years.
The child loved to listen to the reading
of the Bible and history and his wonder
full memory enabled him to retain all that
was read to him. He Joined the Metho-
dist church South at the age of 8, and
began preaching at the age of II.
Last November he attached himself to
the United Brethren denomination. He
has preached throughout this end of the
state, Western Missouri Western Tennes-
see, and Southwestern Kentucky, with
phenomenal success having had no less
than 300 converts since last August.
Sunday night the blind preacher stood
upon the steps of a vacant store house,
addressing a congregation in the street.
His face was turned toward heaven. He
told his hearers that they could look up
and see the beautiful moon and twinkling
stars, while he was cropping In darkness.
but that he prayed always that sight he
given him.
AS the preacher finished that sentence
he stopped, passed his hand across his
forehead, and, pointing to the moon,
asked what that great something was
He was told that it was the moon Other
strange things fell upon his vision, and
with great shouts of hallelujahs he de-
clared that his prayers had been an
