The chapter should he read straight through as one might hear a magazine story. It is infinitely more than, a magazine story, and it grips one from the heart, The Lord and His disciples saw a man that was blind from his birth. At once the disciples asked if theo­ logical question of the Lord: who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? The Lord re­ fused to be caught on either horn of the dilemma, (brushing aside the question by the statement that it was to be manifest in this afflicted man. “As long as I am in. the world, I am the light of the world,” said Christ. Then He healed the man by anointing his eyes with clay and sending him to wash in the .pool of Siloam. The man obeyed “and came seeing.” The whole community was shaken by the event and began discussing it —neighbors, pharisees ■ and doubt-' less strangers, People could not believe what had happened, Some insisted that it was really the form­ erly blind beggar. (Others said: “He is like him.” The healed man said I Simply; “I am he.” Then he was cross-questioned— how had it happened? He told the simple truth and named Jesus. “Where is He?” the question is ask­ ed. “I know not,” So the healed man was brought before the Pharisees, the religious autocrats and dictators of the day. Cross-examination began again, and the man told his story again. The healing had been done on the Sabbath, so the Pharisees said: ‘•‘This man is not of God, because He keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sin­ ner dp such miracles'/ And there was a division among them.” Now they tried to find out more about Jesus by asking the opinion of the healed man, who said, “He is a phophet.” The Pharisees were up against it. How could such a miracle occur with out their knowledge, approval and explanation! There was only one thing to do—deny the miracle. The man had not really been blind, and they sent for his parents hoping to estabish this. “Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?” ’ The parents knew enough not to get into the controversy; all they were willing to say that it was in­ deed their son, and that their son had been born blind, but they could not presume to explain how he now had his sight or who had opened his eyes: “He is of age; ask him; he Shall .speak for, himself.” The par­ ents had good reason to fear the Jews had already agreed that if any mai^ did'confess.,that.He was Christ he should be pufroutof the synago­ gue.” There was nothing for the Phari­ sees to do in order to ’’save their face” but send for the ex-blind man and intimidate him by “the third degree.” Bringing him into their presence they .said abruptly, “Give God the praise: we know, that this man is a sinner.” And this brought back a reply that has ’come down the ages in glorious truth and final­ ity; : 1 “One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.” The shrewd, intellectual, brainy and powerful Pharisees could not shake this man’s testimony. They could not intimidate him; they could pot break him. down. Angrily they went on with their cross-examina­ tion and repeated their questions till the man answered: “I have told you already, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? Will ye also be His disciples?” iSo now the healed man had the Pharisees on the defensive. They claimed to be Moses’ disciples; they claimed to know God; “as for this fellow, we know not from whence He is.” It was a terrible; tragic and blasphemous confession for the official leaders of leaders of Israel to make—men who had and prefer­ red to believe the Old Testament Scriptures which promised the Mes­ siah in prophecies that Christ was fulfilling miraculously to the letter." Relentlessly the- healed man went on boldly calling attention to the re­ markable fact that the Pharisees shoud not know whence Christ was, yet He “opened my eyes,” something that had not been-known since the world began—of a man born blind. In anger the Pliar’sees “cast him out,” Officially excommunicating him from the synagogue and any fel­ lowship with Israel, The conclusion is glorius. The Lord heard that the religious, lead­ ers had cast the man out, so. He sought him out and found him again It is a blessing and privilege indeed to be cast out “by men if their means to be found by God. “Dost thou believe on the Son of God?” asked the Lord. Humbly the healed man replied, “Who is He, Lord that 1 might believe on Him? And Jesus said unto hini, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is Ho tna*; talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him.” How searching the words of th, Lord then; “For come into this vtortd, which see hot mMit see they which see might be made blind?

It’s about time for some of us. to be looking over our outfits and our cellars and to see to it that none of our good things are loafing. One doesn’t sleep well when he thinks that there are .children who are both cold and hungry., «.«*****• INVENTION We met a man the other day who has worked up a paying •business by simply going after it. First of all, he prepared him­ self with some goods that he knew would be acceptable. Next he did all he could to ge,t. the goods he desired to sell down to the lowe st cost at which he could afford to offer them. Next, he made his product known. In other words he did a little judicious advertising. When he could make a. sale lie did his best to, please his customer. Since he made his start he lias worked very hard at liis job. But he’s making a little money. Next year he’ll do better still. The point is that this man found a need, discovered how to meet it, made it known that he invented his way out done others can do. could meet that need and now meets it. He of idleness and hard times. What he has THAT VALENTINE CHICKEN ■So the folks who look after the welfare of the public are ask­ ing us to eat at least one chicken on Valentine’s Day. The chicken may be eaten or broiled or fried or stewed or rolled or crumpled or roasted or after any other mode of preparation the cook deems best. The essential thing is that the chicken be eaten. The chicken may be home grown or bought from the butcher, the baker or the electric light installer or repairer* or from the oil man or the coal man or from any other person deemed best. What is better still, the chicken may well (be bought and sent to some worthy person who otherwise would have a spare table on Valentine’s Day. In any case the chicken is required to add its little part to the bringing in not only of good cheer but of financial revival. So let’s up .and get going and feel it a reproach if we fail to eat our chicken ac- - cording to requirements if it is reasonably possible for us to se­ cure such a luxury. Chickens suppers should bo the.order of the day. D # Hi # # THAT WASTING WOOD Every so often one hears of wood that actually is wasting. This seems a pity when fuel is greatly needed. This wood can be got free, only it costs effort to secure it. In the Old Country, one fre­ quently meets, folk from the towns and cities and villages who are providing against the cold by picking up wood that otherwise might be wasted, wood that is made up of limbs from trees in parks or ravines or along the roadside. Every spare minute the people re­ ferred to gather up this wood and get it to their homes by every device known to man, the device most frequently resorted to being the old-fashioned method of carrying. The children find it loads of fun to load mi thor wagons and to play all manner of games as they are getting this important work done. IThe only reason that this sort of thing is not done in Canada is that fuel, heretofore, has been abundant dr th'e folk who are in need in* that particular have been supplied gratis. Let’s not forget, however, that help is most readily extended to those who help themselves.
