Removing Obstruction to Sight
Sunday Circle
Psalm 119:18
Open you my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.


The other day (writes Mr. Reader Harris, K.C.) I had the privilege Of witnessing one of our great surgeons remove the cataract from a woman's eye. It is a beautiful illustration of God's work of deliverance from sin. It was done almost instantaneously. The cataract was taken out of the eye. The surgeon took it right out, and then, very soon afterwards, he put glasses on that woman's eye, and he said: "Mr. Harris, take out your watch," and to the woman he said: "How long have you been blind?" She said: "I have been blind for six years." "Now," he said, "look through this glass, and tell what his watch says." She read it at once, hour hand and minute hand. Why? Because the surgeon had taken out of the eye that which obscured the vision; and because that operator had not only taken out what hindered the vision but he had given her, in the lens, that which could take the place of it. May God clarify our spiritual vision by purifying our hearts, and filling them with the Holy Ghost!
