Durham, May 16—“Prayer has done it all,” declares Miss Hawkins Gilbert, aged inmate of the Durham county home, whose sight is being restored to her after blindness for a number of years. The restoration is not complete, but she is now able to see with an increasing degree of vision, expressing the hope that her sight will be fully restored in due time.
Miss Gilbert attributes her returning sight to the prayers of a small group of men composing the Durham Chirstian Men’s Federation, who have been remembering her for some months in their daily devotions. She gave expression to her feelings at a meeting of the group which conducted services at the home Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock there has been no treatment, and no operation. Her health is good, her blindness having been her only handicap.
