B   A blessing to restore sight

From the life of Matthew Cowley:   Began a six-year term as mission president in New Zealand. Maoris called him “Tumnake,” or great leader.”

On one occasion Cowley was asked to name a fourteen-month-old child and give it a blessing. Matter-of-factly the father added, “While you are giving it its name, give it its sight.” The child was born blind. . . .

“Well, I was scared. I never had that faith. The thing came to me suddenly like lightning out of the blue. But I went on and blessed the baby with a name. It was the longest blessing I think I have ever given. I was using all the words I could think of and had ever thought of. I was trying to get enough inspiration—enough nerve, if you want to call it that, to bless that child with its vision. I finally did.

“Eight months later I saw the child, and the child saw me. . .  Never let this simple faith get away from your life, never let it get away from you. It is the most precious thing you have in your life.”
