I was impressed with its' worth and went and sold alt I had and bought that field and I have been hugging myself ever since that I had the common sense to do it." The Bible is filled with nuggets from the "Promise -Mines." These promise mines are as deep as. Man's need; as high as .heaven; as vast as eter- nity and as rich as God Him- self. There are certain con- ditions necessary to successful mining. Thus, too, with God's promises, there are invariably certain conditiionns,�t bepi*met, We a ch sTisrng d�` t 'as{b Him" but we are also reminded that it is essential that we "abide in Him." *His promises are practical but the ,shaft of faith must go down, and the deeper the shaft, the richer the findings.

"Sometimes an inflammation or corneal graft reaction develops in the recipient's eyes, destroying the graft." ' Through the Eye Bank of Canada, research is, playing a vital role in lessening the rejec- tion problem. Operations on animals are being done con- tinuously to improve corneal transplant techniques and when.. inflammation, occurs various drugs are being tried out for treatment. Reports from the Eye Bank indicate that diagnoisis of cor- neal graft reaction is . a problem. ,"It is too late when the doctor examines a patient's eyes and finds that graft rejec- tion hassalready started," Mr. Kennedy said.
