THE BLIND WHO SEE


Gen. William Booth, the ven
cradle head of the Salvation
Army, is declared by his physi-
clans to be hopelessly blind. We
think that they put it wrongly.
Booth is not hopelessly blind. He
has but lost his eyesighty
Blindness is the most terrible
of all mans physical affections,
ordinarily, but is it not so in the
case of this r1an7
Booth has spent the larger part
of his lifetime of nearly ninety
years in trying to do good to
others. He has not needed eyes
to see where help was needed.
Eyesight has not determined
how to help. Luxury, worldly
ambition have passed by unseen
by him, for his sight was wholly
spiritual.
In eur mental musings, in Our
dreams, in our best ambitions,
we have vision without the aid of
eyes. The spiritual sight is
strong and. never hopeless. To
Booth the material things of this
earth have long been very dim
and to him whose whole exist
ence has been so strongly spirit
ual the total eclipse of physical
vision cannot mean much of a
change. "Hopelessly blind?"
Nay, the good old man is one of
the blind who really see!
