W ASHINGTON, besides being called the most beautiful city in the United States. has also been called the city of b churches. What a acquired, ¥ to have won such an en- viable declaration proves that a Jority of its population. who live there and who have contributed so benefi- cently both to the building of and the upkeep of these brautifl churches, which have cost millions of dolla construct, are of the cultured, and Christian class, mwny of whomare deeply interested both in the progr of our lovely sion and beautification city, ell as being tireless for ancement of Chris and the uplifting of the whole race. Most of our churches on large plots of grov Jawns, and many hav re built with well kept eautiful shrub- bery Manv of them. also. are in cholce locations. and v ex- quisite architecture, both and modern, represent structures of rare, magnificent_grandeur But in all their lofty sublimity there is one great omission—what many may consider of little importance and non- essential. but when viewed from all angles, the e ed beauty and the benefit that may be derived from a spiritual outlook. is compari- son. It is the outs hination of these beautiful ck lit up oftener than three times a week and then only for a few hours at a time. During these hours the outside illumination gencrally consists of one light in the vestibule, but that one light. however. presents an entirely dif- ferent aspect to the passing public than when in darknes they stand like giant sepitlchers against a dark and ghostly background. Unless they happen to be on a well lighted thoroughfare. they are dark and spooky looking. and if it is late in the evening. one walks with a Very fleeting foot as he passes them by Moving pictures. theaters. dance halls, sport clubs. and many stores and business enterprises illuminate their places at night. whether closed or open with many lights. We are drawn to these pleasures. stores and enterpris in daytime through the lure of their night. When we walk out of an evening. we stop, look and admire as we pass the many brilliantly illu- minated places. but when we come to a church we hustle by, 'tis too dark and spooky looking to linger nigh. In these times of vice and crime we need lights and plenty of them. Easter is fast ap- proaching. the season of fasting and prayer: churches have special services, le world seems to take part 1l and sacred music, and se none of us has forgot- of the Three Wise Men who followed the bright star that shone in the East until they came to the little city of Nazareth and there beheld a new- born babe, whom they worshiped, whom the world for two thousand years has received and recognized as the Savior of mankind, and it still remembers the agony of Gethsemane, the darkne: that fell upon the earth when a bleed- ing Christ hung from that cross of Calvary, and then, the story continues, that three days after an angel ap- perared. rolled the stone from the sepul- cher and He who was crucified and buried arose and ascended into Heaven. Heaven rejoiced. angels and archangels sang and a sin-stained world was of- fered redemption. Now, then. if we re- ceive and accept this Christ as the Savior of mankind, can not we pro- claim that recognition by burning at least one light from darkness until dawn? If thousands of lights can burn every night for the progression of com- mercial and social interests, surely every church could honor God by burning at least one light during the hours of darkness. Ome star on every church would be very appropriate, as it was the slar in the East that guided the ‘Wise Men to the Redeemer of mankind. Christ does not ask us to build churches to stand half the time as monuments and tombsiones to His memor He died, but He arose and still li He sks that we show our lights, that may guide all who choose to enter Tust now we appear more like the foolish virgins—the bridegroom would never find the door of some of our churches if he came at midnignt, much less the bride. ‘Together with Easter approaching, there has been every kind of prepara- tion to beautify our lovely city, also for the Bicentennial: and what could pre- sent a more beautiful appearance to Visitors than to have a light burning on every one of these magnificent churche ‘The father of this land of freedo would surely acquiesce if he were here. Some of the churches perhaps would prefer the cross, others some other em- blem: it would make no difference, 50 1t was a light. The cost is very. very small. as the light is not for commercial display, but for the progression of pure Christian advancement. Added to the declaration that Washington is the city of beautiful churches, it would be then the city where the church lights | burn. I hope all clergymen and all ople who are interested in Chris- lanity will co-operate with this move- ment. 8t. Columba's Episcopal Church, Rev. E. A.

Although they had started out hold- ing that they were seeking facts, they had called the man’s parents, who. seeing the danger they faced of being out of the synagogue, informed that their son. who had been was old enough o give his own testimony. ‘The Pharisees warned him aud tried in their cross-examination W break down his testimony withoul suc- St them healed cess.

He started in by gonfes- sing that Jesus was & man. but before the official investigators the healed man insisted that Jesus was a prophet He had a personal experience that was developing his spiritual powers. When they became inquisitive and he saw the drift of their inquiries the healed man became sarcastic, asking them if they were seeking the informa- tion_with & view to becoming disciples of Christ. They resented the healed man making such an_insinuation and refused to even permit him to usurp the place of a teacher. Finally beaten in their efforts by the clever replies of the witness, who did not hesitate to give Jesus credit for his being able to see. they cast him out of the synagogue, | which would be like excommunicating one from the church Confessing Christ. When Jesus learned that had been cast out of the synagogue He hunted him up and by presenting the spiritual aspect of the miracle ap- pealed to the healed man to accept Him as the Messiah. He had confi- dence in Jesus. and asked Him to di- rect him to the Messiah so that he could believe on Him. Then he learned the fact that his eves had been opened so that he could be saved. When Jesus made clear to the healed one that he had seen Him and that He was the Messiah. the man who had been cast out of the synagogue immediately con- fessed his personal faith in Jesus and worshiped Him Christ did not argue with the man He was trying to win. He gave him sight. Although evil was present and its power great, the Master teaches us the supremacy of God's power, that is with us in our efforts to help, aid and assist men to believe on Christ as the Light of the World. Now is our su- preme opportunity to help save men. the man We can not defer our service for men. ! We must do our duty now. The awakening of faith in God and trust in Jesus as the Savior of men will help our Nation to cease hoarding and put all of our forces to work for the glory of our Lord and the advancement of His kingdom through the hastening of prosperity in our land, so that we may enlighten all nations concerning Jesus as the Light of the World. :THEME-OF SERVICE .
