(Written for tho United Press) Though we be Blind, still may we see Thy Handiwork and know Its worth ; Though we l?e Dumb, still may we speak Thy Word in Thought and Deed; Though we be Deaf, still may we hear Thy Voice and do Thy Bidding; Though we be Halt' still may we walk Thy Way . nor go astray; And though we see and hear and speak and walk as men, Still'may we know these things as but of earth; of only passing need; And if these gifts be ours through Thee, It needs must be that we can wrong no man.
