“SKKING is believing" is a familiar phrase to all of us and is often accepted as a fact of life. Sadly, there are many who need a kind of spiritual optician, for in looking they do not always see aright. In John
we read of Jesus saying to Thomas: "Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.”
Jesus, in the days of His flesh, was able to restore
tile sight of several blind persons but, unrestricted or limited by human form since the resurrection, has been able to open the eyes of many thousands of spiritually blind people.
The condition of our spiritual vision depends
largely upon our state of mind. Even the finest of musicians is unable to make good music if the instru ment is hopelessly out of tune. Before we can respond to the touch of the Master, we need to be properly attuned. The slightly slackened strings can mar the
harmony, even though the player hits all the right notes. This is also tmo in the spiritual sense, as our har
mony in life is dependent on our being properly attuned. There are lots of people who are not able to read sheet music, yet can make tuneful melodies through playing by ear. They are not capable of fol lowing the music as written, so are not able to

mind. Ho seeks first to awaken us to our need of His help, with our impaired spiritual vision. Having
become conscious of our need, it is next essential that \n e should believe He can help us. On that last journey to Jerusalem, when our Lord
