grace enough to sacrifice our eyes at
the call of duty?
But thank God, some have been en-

General Havelock. the son of the more
famous General llavclock. told me this
concerning his father: In India, while
his father and himself with the army
were encamped one evening time after
n long march. General Havelock called
up his soldiers and addressed them.

money But In the night the surgeon
bethought himself that perhaps he
Mruld give the groom something bet
ter than money. In the morning he
said to the blind groom: step out into
the sunshine. You are 40 years Of age.

at them he turned and said, LET me
look on my friend the surgeon, who
has opened all this beautiful world to
me and shown me my loved ones"
