Arthur Clissold: The reverend brothers seented to think that a ver- dict of suicide, which I think is what .you and I would have called it had we been on the coroner's jury, would cast a reflection on their brother's memory or their family tree, so all gave evidence that their brother was in the habit of taking "large quanti- ties of prussic acid as medicine" not for the purpose of destroying life. The jury then brought in the verdict, "That the deceased gentleman came to his death from taking an overdose of prussic acid." Well, it was the truth, was it not?

Radiant Optimist By Joseph Denny Turning defeat into vietory, Mak- ing stepping stones out of stumbling blocks. A fascinating story of pluck under the most advérse circumstances, Little Jimmy MacDonald hailed from Ronnie Scotland. When but a child of six he wanted to find out what a hammer © with a stick of dynamite would do. He made the discovery and found himself sightless and minus of an arm. Were not these circum- stances enough to daunt anyone? But Jimmy. comes from a race that does not know when it is beaten. In fact the more difficult the circumstances the more ingenuity is displayed to find a way out, -. So Jimmy was sent to the Brant- ford School for the Blind for a num- ber of years and then had the audacity to attempt a course through a Cana- dian University and in due time emerged with a Bachelor of Arts de- gree. Then he spent a year in Knox Theological College, Toronto. Now at -the age of 31 Mr. James Mac- Donald finds himself the District Field Travelling Secretary for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and is. located at Oshawa. : Mr. MacDonald has a rilch baritone voice and he entertained the Port Perry Lions Club last Friday night with the songs entitled: "Until" and "Dry. Those Tears." Then he gave a most interesting discourse. To at- tempt to report it verbatim would take too long and instead of retaining its fascination would become wearisome to readers. : The speaker found it difficult at th beginning to express himself. - The Blind live in a world by themselves and the work of his organization aims to help the blind to help themselves, also to prevent blindness. The ques- tion is often asked how can you get about when you cannot see where you arc going? The answer is: "We have what is known as 'object sense'". Most people have it. It is hard to ex- plain it. It has something to do with the facial nerves. thinks ,it is a matter of echo and knows when he passes a building or tree and knows when he comes to the end of a block, slows down and takes the curb gracefully. "A walking stick is useful as a protection against others. It is a mark of attention. Others respect his cane. There are 11,000 to 12,000 blind registered with the Institution. THey have a library service kept up by the organization free of charge. It costs nothing to send it through .the mails.
