Persons afflicted with blindness were numerous In Pulestine in our Lord's day. The prevalence of eye troubles in the Holy Land induced an eminent Jewish eve specialist of Baltimore to leave his extensive practice a few years ago and to visit Palestine at his own expense for the purpose of teach- ing tho Zionists, the Christians and the Mohammedans how they might by the adoption of sanitary measures ite much of the blindness that s always existed in that land. He wis moved by the spirit of the Master, who cured six of their blindness dur- ing Iis ministry. There probable were other cures, but the only one who was born blind whom Jesus healed and saved is recorded in our lesson. There s some question, as to when the events of this remarkable and dramatic passage in the history of our Lord took place. While attending the publically proclaimed that He w the Living Water. The hostile re: tlon of the crowd to His claim was so bitter that they sought to stone Him. He probably returned in a few months to attend the feast of dedication, which had been established by Julius Mac- cabaeus, 165 B. C,, to commemorate the reconsecration of the temple that fices three vears previously. Tt wi probably in connection with this feast 1 upon a Sabbath day, after He and His disciples had been engaged in the worship of the temple, that Jesus rved “the irth.” Although it was not prudent for the Master to tarry so close to the place | where the people had within a shor time sought to take His life, the sympathizing Physician was by the man's condition.

This would have been con- trary to the lesson the Master wished to impress upon His followers. He warned them against the danger of al- lowing the opportunity to do good to pass by until it would be too late to manifest God's favor and power. The appearance of suffering is a call for the Christian, observing the same, to attempt to relieve the afflicted one so that they can have a practical demon- stration of God's care for them, even when they were sinners.

Pierce will take for his subject at All Souls’ Church (Uni- tarlan), Sixteenth and Harvard streets, tomorrow evening, ‘Jesus Christ in Evolutionary Thought.” Will Preach on “My Refuge.” At the First Presbyterian Church people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our Government. There are only two main theories of government in the world. One rests on righteousness, the other rests on .force. One appeals to reason, the other appeals to the sword. One is exemplified in a republic, the o is represented by a despotism. £ ¥ 4T'HE government of 2 country never gets a religion of a country. There is no way by which we can sub- stitute the authority of law for the virtue of man. Of course, we can help to restrain the vicious and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control, but the real reforms which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of our religious convictions, or they will not come at all. Peace, justice, h manity, charity—these cannot be legis- lated into being. They are the result of Divine Grace. “I E N ) HAVE long felt a very deep in- terest in the work of the Sunday School Bible classes, because of the conviction that this sort of serious and continuous study is not only of the greatest spiritual and character-build- ing value, but the means of familiarizing people with one of the splendid monuments of all literature—the Bible.” the ad of R (This advertisement i ono of e Forin proghent in Bries Yol States and is suppiied i ‘Associgted Advertisin, ot 'the, Jon% 55 Madl son "avene.
