WHAT HE SAW.

"This young man had three sets of
eyes opened; his bodily eyes, his men,
tai eyes and the eyes of his soul. with
his bodily eyes he was able to see the
physical universe: with his mental
eyes he was enabled to reason out
these things and with the eyes Of his
soul he was able to see the real truth
SO that he could say out of the depths
of his heart, Lord, I believe.
Let us remember that amidst all
the things that perplex us; amid all
the questions called out by an un-
believing world, the power Of Jesus
Christ to raise manhood and woman-
hood to higher spirituality still ex-
lists"
