Divine Eye

One of the most spectacular operations developed in the last few years is the transplantation of fragile corneas from the eyes of dead men to the eyes of the living. When Evangelist Minister U. G. Harding of Portland, Ore. heard that such an operation might restore sight to his failing left eye, he sent a form letter to twelve condemned men in California's San Quentin prison, asking for a cornea. But not one could he get. Fortnight ago, Rev. Mr. Harding visited his 80-year-old friend, Mrs. Margaret Carr, who lay dying in Berkeley, Calif. Just before she closed her eyes, last week, the old lady raised her head and cried: "I see Heaven. How beautiful."

Promptly her two pious daughters bequeathed a cornea to Dr. Harding. Said they: "We hope this can be a living memorial to Mother."
