A\r\nyoung man of large wealth and high social position, who had been blinded by an accident when he was ten years old, and who won    University honors in spite of his blindness, had won a beautiful\r\nbride, though he had never looked upon her face. A little while before his marriage he submitted to a course of treatment by   experts, and the climax came on the day of his wedding.\r\nThe day came, and the presents, and guests. There were present\r\ncabinet ministers and generals and bishops and men and women. The bridegroom, dressed for the wedding, his eyes still shrouded in\r\nlinen, drove to the church with his father, and the famous oculist met them in the vestry.\r\nThe bride, entered the church on the arm of her white-haired\r\nfather. So moved was she that she could hardly speak. Was her lover at last to see her face that others admired, but which he knew only\r\nthrough his delicate finger tips?\r\nAs she neared the altar, while the soft strains of the wedding\r\nmarch floated through the church, her eyes fell on a strange group.\r\nThe father stood there with his son. Before the latter was the\r\ngreat oculist in the act of cutting away the last bandage. The\r\nbridegroom took a step forward, with the spasmodic uncertainty of one who cannot believe that he is awake. A beam of rose-colored  light from a pane in the chanel window fell across his face, but he  did not seem to see it.\r\nDid he see anything? Yes! Recovering in an instant his steadiness\r\n\r\nof mien, and with a dignity and joy never before seen in his face,\r\nhe went forward to meet his bride. They looked into each other's\r\neyes, and one would have thought that his eyes would never wander from her face.\r\n\"At last!\" she said. \"At last' he echoed solemnly, bowing his head. That was a scene of great dramatic power, and no doubt of great  joy, and is but a mere suggestion of what will actually take place   in Heaven when the Christian who has been walking through this  world of trial and sorrow, shall see HIM face to face.\r\n--Selected\r\nJust a-wearying for you.\r\nJesus, Lord, beloved and true;\r\nWishing for you, wondering when\r\nYou'll be coming back again, Under all I say and do,\r\nJust a-wearying for you.\r\nSome glad day, all watching past, You will come for me at last;\r\nThen I'll see you, hear your voice, Be with you, with you rejoice;\r\nHow the sweet hope thrills me through, Sets me wearying for you.",1783499792051]
