BLINDNESS HEALED
Wedded for nearly 13 years, Kari
Guiott, known throughout Eastern
Oregon as “the blind musician”
saw the features of his devoted wife
and sturdy 10-vear-old son for the
first time only a few days ago.
Bom with impaired vision, Guiott
had been blind for 15 years. The
other day, while guiding himself
with a stick along the business
thoroughfares of his home city of
Pendleton, Ore., he experienced a
sudden pain in his right eye. He
became dizzy. Blue flashes began
to appear before his eyes, following
each other at intervals, becoming
more frequent and lengthening in
size and duration. Then- the mi
racle had beenw rought. Guiott’s
vision was restored. During the
flashes he could identify the ob
jects appearing to his right eye
as buildings, telegraph poles and
persons. Within a half hour he
could read advertising signs and
distinguish the features of friends
he had known by voice only for
years. Astounded at the discovery
he was lost in bewilderment for a
time. He walked about, guiding
himself with his stick from long
accustomed habit, while he tested
his new found sight. None knew
of his restored vision for an hour
Then he went to the office of Dr.
T. M. Henderson, amazing the
physician with his secret. Dr. J
A. Gest also examined his eye, and
when Guiott was asured that the
probabilities strongly favored per
manent sight, he hastened home to
his wife and son. His vision has
improved constantly since the first
and today, the physicians are con
fident that the restoration will
prove permanent.
One of the most interesting, if
not the most remarkable, phases of
the case lies in the fact that Guiott
had not in recent years had re
course to medical or surgical treat
ment. Exponents of the Christian
Scientist faith were quick to claim
(he “cure.” Guiott, while not con
ceding himself a Christian Scientist,
is convinced that his own mental
strength and attitude is responsible
for the change which has taken
place.
“For a long time I have been
studying Unity,” he says. I con
centrated my mind as constantly
as I could upon the desire to see.
I kept that desire ever alive in my
mind, and my faith in my mental
strength to bring my vision back,
if such a thing could be accomplish
_A._
I ed, never wavered. Vision has
been restored to me, at least par
tially, and I am content.”
