BLIND MINISTER SEES WIFE FOR
 1 THE FIRST TIME
Was Given Only a Slight Glimpse But Sufficient to Show Operation Was Successful

Philadelphia, June s-UP)-The Rev Robert Fraser lives in a new world today for he has seen his wife for the first time since he mar ried her four years ago. Fraser, long called the Blind Evangelist" was operated upon in May by Dr c. H. Moore who restored the sight of 21-year-old Earl Musselman. While I couldn't see her face dis tinctly," he smiled from his bed, II was able to see the outline of her face. Soon I hope that I'll be able to see better
 Fraser had the bandage removed from his eye few minutes. The bandages were replaced to prevent the light injuring the delicate tis- sues while they aare healing. Just the sight of her dear face was a blessing" he said today. Tt must be the work of God that enables. me to see at all. If things go as we ex- pect I will have the bandages off within month and then will be able to recognize persons that have known all my life. T always knew that the world was beautiful and just the shadows and outlines that l have seen so far merely confirm my belief"
 Only one of Frasers eyes was operated upon, his other eye is con- sidered "hopeless." Yesterday was the fourth wedding anniversary of Mrs Fraser and the 25-year-old min ister who was born blind.
