John 9:2-8 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?… "Bob Roy" says in his description of Mr. Moon's mission to the blind at Beyrout: "That poor fellow who sits on the form there was utterly ignorant. See how his delicate fingers run over the raised types of his Bible; and he reads aloud, and blesses God in his heart for the precious news, and for those who gave him the avenue for truth to his heart. 'Jesus Christ will be the first person I shall ever see,' he says; 'for my eyes will be opened in heaven.' Thus even this men becomes a missionary. At the annum examination of this school one of the scholars said, 'I am a little blind boy. Once I could see; but then I fell asleep — a long, long sleep — I thought I should never wake. And I slept till a kind gentleman, called Mr. Mort, came and opened my eyes; not these eyes,' pointing to his sightless eyeballs, 'but these,' lifting up his tiny fingers; these eyes. And, oh! they see such sweet words of Jesus, and how He loved the blind.'"
