They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat (Revelation 7:16).

Blind Leads the Sighted

In the summer of 1959 on one of the hottest days in August, a power failure in New York City shut off air conditioners, fans and other electrical equipment in hundreds of apartments and offices. Particularly hard-hit were workers on the upper floors of many buildings, who found themselves in the pitch without elevators running.

But in one of these buildings the problem was easily solved. When darkness hit the guild for the Jewish Blind, the two hundred blind workers, who knew every inch of the building by touch, led the seventy helpless sighted workers down the steps and onto Broadway.

Just Wait! It’ll Be Hotter!

At Southampton’s fashionable St. Andrew’s Dune Church, after a week of steaming hot weather, guest minister Rev. William Henry Wagner told the congregation he would preach the shortest sermon ever. He did, too. The sermon consisted of the following words:

“If you think it’s hot here—just wait!”
