quite necessary. No matter how grate- full they may be for financial assis- tance that comes through bureaus and agencies, they must needs miss the warm touch of friendship. In order really to console and help the blind we must take into account their particular needs, their peculiar difficulties, their individual capabilities.
 "A newly blinded man is braced by the faith friends show in him while he is learning over again the ways of liv ing and working in the dark. He adapts himself more readily to his new environment as real friend -one whose name he knows-is near. How much more do the poor men who are maimed as well as blind need others faith and encouragement. Their dam age is irreparable. They are doomed to live the remainder of their days with the pleasure of living utterly gone out of them. Their lot is so horrible that any effort to break through their isola- tion and cheer them must be precious beyond our powers of comprehension.
 T am agonized by the suffering of the young men of all countries who lose their sight on battle fields and on the seas. My blindness is realized anew in theirs. We are bound together by our common affliction. 1 wonder if a seeing person can understand how a man in the vigor of youth feels when he knows that he will never again see the light of day. Try to imagine the experience of having the dear familiar world that you have looked upon for twenty odd years fade suddenly out of your sight like phantom world! If you can imagine such an experience you will realize what is happening to | thousands of young men and boys in this most frightful of wars.
 After the glamour of the war is passed and the enthusiasm and novel, ty of giving to blinded heroes is over their need will be just as urgent ten ] wears from nOW-perhanS more so. Ii

is our duty therefore to contribute lib- orally to the permanent fund for their support. Besides providing the neces- sary instruction and equipment for them, we must find occupations suited for their abilities and handicaps. We must be ready to take them by the hand and lead them kindly over the dark road There will never be a day in the years to come that they will not require our help.
 T should also like to say. a word of encouragem to my comrades in the dark, and tell them that vixen they get used to the feel of the world they will experience joy in things that perhaps they never thought of while they had eyes. I know that the earth under my feet gives me a sense of tranquil strength. It is not only in the wide pathways of life that pleasure

comes. Every day feel the thrill of a discoverer journeying through my ht- tie walled garden, which yet reaches to the stars When the sunlight fades from our vision there is a new delight in it's warmth, When the color is gone from hill and sky we find a strange sweetness in the winds and the odors they wait to us.
 "The night has other beauties than the stars-its cool serenity and its sil- very silences. Under it's healing wings we may dream worlds with unlimited horizons It is only at the beginning that despair clutches us and beats us to the ground. We are so constituted that we can adapt ourselves to almost any condition if only a friendly haml is reached out to us, if we only hog1 fast to our faith in the conquering might of the spirit"

Why do the Germans continue their air raids on Great Britain? Certainly not with the hope of terrorizing the British population and thus creating a sentiment in favor of peace. The Ger man military authorities are not 50 stupid as to overlook the fact that the moral effect of these attacks has been to inflame the British people and to strengthen their determination to beat Germany.
