they shall see God.
They shall see the same Christ that
walked about healing lepers-calling
dead souls from their graves-opening
the ears of the deaf-healing the feet
of the lame-planting sight in the eyes
of the blind-giving new life to the
tongues of the dumb and is today
walking in the midst of the poor, of
the unfortunate, of the needy, of the
down-trodden, of the dying-waving
His garment awaiting a touch from
hand of faith.
Though l be blinded to the creatures
l can stand face to face with the Crea-
tor. Through a purity of heart, I
like the blind Fanny Crosby can get
full view of Calvary. This body with
all of its defects cannot blind me to
the blood pouring from His side, can
not deafen my ears to the cry of His
voice, cannot cripple my feet on my
march towards Calvary, for within my
soul is planted source of strength
of which the body knows nothing-is
planted a vision that can penetrate
through all darkness and present to
me the greatest sights of Heaven.
This body is for a time but the soul
lives forever. This body has its weak
nesses but in the soul is planted eter-
nal strength and when time fails me
and this body refuses to function and
my desires can no longer be fulfilled,
| can rejoice if I be pure of heart for

publication of the heart-of the
cleansing of the mind and of communi-
cation with God. The pure in heart
shall see God. No physical defects can
rob them of this power-no external
sin can form an eclipse of this vision
no earthly power can interfere with
this sight, as its only requisite is a
purity of heart.
Blessed are the pure in heart-those
who have chosen the highway with
Jesus-who have caught a glimpse of
Calvary and with a burning zeal in
their hearts have left all to follow on.
Those unsatisfied in darkness and
have groped their way into the light
those who are willing to pay the price
who find JOY in sacrificing and bid
ding farewell to carnal temptations,
lustful greed, selfish gains, worldly
pleasures and seek for more and more
Of God,-they shall see God.
Those who have cut out their lying
tongues-stopped their backbiting and
wilful slandering, forsaken their ILL
gotten gains, and have lifted their
minds above the stages of jealousy
and envy-those who have moved the
oIulIDAl1lS SIOIeS 1IOu Iu6lE DEOIn6E )
path and pointed the weary pilgrim
home.
Those who have shared their little
with the hungry-given their last
glass of water to the thirsty-made
way for the homeless when no way
seemed possible-showed compassion
to the poor-gave a helping hand to
the unfortunate and went downtown
into the gutter to clasp the outstretch-
ed hand Of their fallen brother: God
said, and meant what He said, "they
shall see God"
Those who failed to compromise
with sin-cared not if they failed in
pleasing personalities but rather walk
ed according to the will of God. Those
who would watch with Him in the Gar
den of Gethsemane-who would stand
by Him in trial-who would confess
Him in the face of cowardly denial
who would remain at the foot of the
cross and wait with faith at the tomb
