"GIVEN LESS SIGHT BUT MORE VISION"
WELLINGTON, Aug. 4. "The gods have given Helen Kelier less sight but more vision than that given to ordinary mortals," said the United States Minister, Mr. R. M. Scotten, at a civic reception today in her honour. "As a small boy, when my mother used to read to me the story of her, life," s,ai.d the Minister, "I regarded her not as a mortal being, but in some sense as a-supernatuyal being. What t failed to recognise at that time was that she was a human being with more than her share of mortal affliction, and more than her share of immaterial genius."
