up for that great loss in the death of Mrs. Macy and to lighten the weight of the grief upon Helen. She is with her still today, serving as her hearing and her sight, carrying her message to the world and the world's message to her.
Helen Keller, this great woman despite her afflictions, is today an authority consulted in national and international relations, and she is adviser to the Foundation for the Blind at home and overseas. She has made many tours, in the course of which she has lectured in Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Yugoslavia, Korea, Manchukuo, New Zealand, South Africa, and Southern Rhodesia, besides the United States. She has been granted several prizes and medals, among them the Roosevelt Medal in 1936, and the Yugoslav Order of St. Sava in 1931. She is an honorary member of the Institute of Arts and Letters, and one of the ten women who are the most important women in the world.
Helen Keller visited Beirut at the beginning of last May, and delivered several lectures in packed halls, astonishing her hearers and enchanting them. While she was in West Hall at the American University of Beirut, Mr. Arida played for her one of the hymns she loves, and the whole gathering joined in the singing; whereupon Miss Keller did nothing less than walk to the piano and place her hands upon it — and there she was, facing the crowds and leading them with her hand like a skilled maestro, to their wonder and amazement.
And when she was asked whether she had felt the storm of sharp applause with which she was greeted, she answered that she felt the vibrations, with the breeze, rising up from the soles of her feet.
In appreciation of her singular genius, the Lebanese government
conferred on her the gilded medal, and this gesture left the happiest impression in the hearts of those who knew her and loved her.
To sum up, Helen Keller is in truth the miracle of the twentieth century: she is proficient
in several languages, keen of intelligence, full of optimism about life despite her hard afflictions, and the sweet smile never leaves those two clear blue eyes, nor that tender, angelic face. She is a pride to woman in every country of
