“God Sees to Me.”

By Mrs. Sangster

A MAN in the full strength of his years, but most helpless, being very deaf and almost totally blind, is an occasional visitor at our house. We take turns in talking to him, for the talk must be carried on in a key that soon tires ordinary lungs. The other day, I was “the relief,” and as I talked with the poor fellow, I learned a lesson myself; for the man has wonderful faith. He cannot work, though willing enough, and he will not beg, but, from day to day, God feeds him. “Have you no fears in going about as you do,” I said to him, “in cars, and boats, and on the crowded streets?”

“I used to have,” he said, in the soft, low voice, which contrasts with the way people must shout at him, “but I never have now. God sees to me. I am always taken care of. Somebody finds me a seat, or helps me in and out, and I get along.”

“Do you ever hear anything in church?” is an other question.

“Well, not much, but I always go. I like to be there, and I find a blessing.”—MRS. SANGSTER, in the Christian Weekly.
