LOND‘N, Oz ow ALMIGHTY'S MERCY AND POWER tRANSPORML BURDENS FALL TO FAITH Mystery of the Man Born Blind Wed' - By the Divine Man, Christ Jesus/ For the Teaching of the Multitude In the Wonderful Ways and Me- thods of God In Dealing With His Chi Idren. Entered according to Act of Parliament of Can- ada, in the year 1907, by Frederick Diver, To- , route, at the Dept. of Ape:mauve, Ottawa, ! ,! 1. Los Angeles, Cal, .Tan. 13. ---In thi4. sermon the preacher' ihoyes how even' Our heaviest burdens and afflictions may be transformed , into blessings !through divine mercy and power to -those who ask 'in faith., The text is John ix, 3, "That the works of God Should be made Manifest in him.' -There is something very consolatory to me in the fact that the character _sketches of the, Old. and the New Tes- taments do not deal entirely with the Enoehs and the joshuas and the Jo- sephs. These men, to be frank, are too geed for me to feel fellowship with them. I read and reread the records . bf theirt lies, and I do not find one flaw in Ahem. But when I find God offering hit mercy and pardon to a Jacob and a David and a Peter and a doubting Thonins I say to myself, ft/1h, if God can cleanse such men of their Sine, 1 know he ca,n and will ' cleanse me of my sins if I only throw myself upon his metcy, and his love." ' Now, our Lord's disciples had the some doubts and the same failings in ' their nature as we have. Though they lived vela- close to Jens in a physical sense, they iteto just as far- from him in a Spi ritual sense as some- of us are. The Bathe problems ,and ..difficulties which are worrying us were worrying them. The- same questions Which are being discussed by us were being dis- cussed by them. And here to -day we find one of the greatest of all modern queetions being brought by them to Christ for settlement. Jesus was, ono day going out of the temple- accompanied by his friends: There by one of the gatet steed a young man blind from his birth. He tras a beggar. Ile had that mute ap- peal of sightless eyeballs So pathetic to look at, He stood there as hundred, of, blind mendicants new- stand inethe eastbegging foe money with the drords : "13 acksh eesh 1 Backsheesh ! For the love of God, givb me bade. sheesh 1" I think that the disciples ref they were walking along had their het ds tegether, tniking earnestly upon some great goonel theme. They wanted Christ to explain for them eome of the knetty questions of theology which we alh want him to do. Among these problem; was probably that of suffer- ing. Was' it tree, as so many Sews be- lieved, that affliction was sent as pun- ishment for sin? We know from the hoek of Job that such fin idea was n'avelert but was it true? There were somc inek that contradieted the the- ory. Some men who were undoubtedly geed, yet were' great sufferers. - This aillicuity was en obvious that another theiee had sprung up. There were some who_ feed, "Perhaps the sufferer is good, and his suffering may be'the merit of th 2 Me of his ancestors." As they talked they noticed the conspieue oat begmr at the temple gate, and they mede hie case the subject of a mzeetion to their Master. Why was thie num blind? Was his blindness a punishment for his own sin or for ernI!P ei n °omit -lifted by his parents? T htt ie a. questioe which has long /teen a myetery, and perhaps you and I have ditcuseed it a hundred times: Witt did, Jesuit say? Why, he said, "Nhal:er hath this man sinned nor his pareett, hut that the -Works of God ehorld be made Manifest in him," Have you grasped the full signifi- cance of tide answer?, If you do you hae-c the key to some of the mysteries of your men life. God has sent to you that lung trouble, or that. dullness of hearing, or that dimness of eyesight, or that family trouble, :or that fman- cial, distress, not on account of your sins or on account of your parents' sins, but that God's mercy and power might be made manifest ,to all -the world in your life. Do you believe Ate? Well, if net, 1 want to - plead e itli you to believe it. Therefore let us try and find mit how the works of God I can be _made manifest in your pres- ent Physical, 'mental; -end spiritual tree 'hies, as they were Made manifest 111 the miraculous cure of the young man of the • met, who was born blind and -who lied his eyesight given to ' him when Ile obeyed the commands of the Lord Totes Chtiet. When the blind man's' eyes ' were opened Christ performed • a miraele which no peeler' on earth had ever been able to do. He was not an oculist 'who was cuiting away a cataragt which,- as a dark curtain, had been- dieoppedeover the eyeball of an old man. He waS not a charlatnn who was making a- salve out of the mud to assuage the inflammation of the oph- thalnue nerves. But he was a miracle worker who could give hearing to a deaf and dumb man who had been born without any eardrum, without any sounding board to catch the waves of sound, as they came surging into the ivory vestibules of the ear. In other words, Christ was giving to this young man of f the eat his eyesight tvhee* there wee no viseal organ there, when the ocular nerves were gone. The work Christ was idoing for that young man's eyed was exactly what he could do if he pat a new leg upon your body - after your leg had been =shed in a railroad accident and amputated by the surgeo WA knife. Never since the world was created up to the time of Jesus had any man ever received his eight' lifter he had been born. blind. This Miracle was a test case. Christ was practically, saying, "If I can give eyesight to this afflicted one I can do everything and anything, oh, ye of little faith," The other clay I saw a picture ethe new.gailery of on of the largest audi- toriums of the west. It was filled with hundreds of bags of and and lime. They were put there to test the strength of the gallery, as every rail- road bridge Is tested before a passen- ger train is allowed to go over it. Those sand bags were practically say- ing, "If this gallery caa hold up my weight it can hold up the bodies of hundreds of People who ' shall be crowded into it." So Ohriet by curing th.e eyesight of one born blind was proving to the world that ,his super- human power could accomplish any- thing, since it could cure one .born blind , i hlincInes nt any ether in. ethable s?iiysival i uO raiity asi the .sriale bol o in we hvo a right to Infer that the power weich can giere,,isight ,or remove the infirmity is a truPethuL man power and that the same power can eradicate sin. An old legend fells tts that Martin Luther when he was torn by worse ,and anguishing. over his past sins had a strange dream. At that time he was very Kok. While he 'lay in his bed he taw the evil one en- ter his room with is huge scroll upon his back. With a demoniac leer he suddenly began to unroll it. The moll seemed to grow larger and larger as it unfold- ed before Luther's eyes. Then as the fiend began to unroll this scroll Lu- ther began to read. And as he read MI he found out that this long scroll was the record of his past evil life. "There are thy sins," the fiend chuckled. "Aha, see, the record of them is all there!" But as Martin Luther read on suddenly a passage of Scripture flashed into his mind. He raised him- self upon his sickbed and said: "Oh, demon, you have torgottee to put something in that record. The record is all true, but you have forgotten the one promise which cancels all that ghastly list. Write it there. Write it there now. `The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanse% us from all fi$11," No sooner did Luther speakthus, the old legend sem' "than the fiend gathered up his long, heavy scroll and, with a wild cry of defeat, lied • into the darkness of the night:" That may be only a legend, but it is the consolation of many a sin burdened heart. Lilo the blind men of the eat, we have been staggering along in the daekness of our sins, But -Jesus has eome and touched our eyes. Jesus has cleansed us. Segue has made a test case- out of our Sing. On account of his shed blood he has spoken to our repentent souls: "Thou art whole. Thou art whole." Oh, the wonderful miracle of the kindled eyesight of the blind' man of the east! Oh, the divine grace which can cleanse us from all sin! But it is not sufficient here to make a general statement that this young man, having his eyesight given to him, is the symbol of our own, lives being cleansed of ,sin by a superna- tural power. We must go more into de- tail and tell you how this young man came to have his eyesight given to him. In the first place, we would state he was not a disciple of lesus Christ at all. Up to the time Peter asked, "Master, who did sin,- this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" I do not believe he had ever heard of Jesus or he had ever spoken to. him. He was just one of those miserable beggars of the east who live on charity. - There these beggars may be met on every atreet. Like the Jerusalem doge, they crawl under the very hoofs of your horses. They greet you in the country. They follow you into the oity. They are at every street cor- ner. They are cursed at and spat ups on. "Get out of the way there, ,you beggar!" you can hear the cry on al- most every hand. They are the yam- pireg, the offscourings of the east. Like the poltroons of Rome, who used to cut off their thumbs so they could not shoot a bow and arrow and :would therefore be immune from t conscrip- tion in the Roman army, some of these beggars. of the east mutilate themselves in order to escape -work and to be able to, better ply their trade of begging. Ah, yes, this poor blind beggar of the %est must have been well used to kick? and cuffs and upbraidments ! But no sooner had Pe- ter finished talking than a most won- derful experience was his. The blind man could not see, but he could hear. He could feel. And, oh, the softest voice began to talk to him! Every word was a gentle word of -love. The softest touch pressed his eyelids. This strange :being came and ,,put some salve upon his eyes and then said, "Son, go to the spool of' Siloam and wash." The blind man could not make out who this strange being was, but he felt that he must be either -a God or the representative of a God. Thus the blind manwent and came seeing. That is the symbol of true con- version. It is obeying Christ as the blind man- obeyed. him. It is just giv- ing yourself up to his will. It is do- ing what he wants you to do, even though it may seem a foolish way of getting cured. The blind man obeyed Ofiriet, even though he could not tell who he was. "Oh," you answer, "I do want Jesus r my Saviour, but. I cannot under - s and hew he could be co -equal with God and yet be born of Mary the Vir- gin! I want to believe it, but I can- not. 1 don't understand how this Jesus could be resurrected from the dead. do not understand how he could per- form those miracles.' Don't you, my brother?. Perhaps you do not see his face as Paul saw it on the Damascus road. But that does not prevent your trusting him like the blind man of the east. Even though you cannot under- stand all about him, cannot you hear his sweet voice? Cannot you feel the touch of his fingers upon your eye- lids?Cannot you hear him saying to you as he spake to the blind man of the. east, "Go washin the pool of Siloam." Cannot you hear his dear voice speaking? Will you not sur- render yourself and obey his will, even though you cannot understand all about this Jesus? • ' But there is another fact you must bear well in mind. No sooner did this young man havehis eyes opened at the Siloam pool than he became brave enough and manly enough to speak the truth and tell what Jesus had done for him. He was not a craven hearted, ungrateful coward, as were his timid parents. He was one of those high principled, true, noble fellows who never believed in going back up- on a friend or refusing to give the credit, to the person who has done them a favor. But before we show what the true heartedness of this young titan was able to do for Christ let tie turn for a little while and study the parents of this blind boy. You cannot praise the boy's manliness without condemning the timidity of the father and mother, These two parents, of all people, ought to have been most grateful to Jesus. Now what happens? No sooner is the first exciting welcome over than the parents say to their son: "My boy, who gave you these eyes? How dost thou see?" Then the son 'replies: "Why, mother and father, this was my enerience; I was down near the .temple begging.

Oh, yes, I know of seine 'other octions just as amtemptible. They aro your actions and mine when we refuoe to give God the credit for ell Christ has done for irs and- '017rs. We aro in exactly the eame position as were these parents who refused to give Jesus the credit of opening the blind eyes of their son when they said: 'By what means he now seeth We know not, or who hath opened his eyes we know not._ He is of age; ask- Itirn. Let him speak for himself." -Are' wetso cowardly that we Will notgiveChrist the credit for ty he has done for us and ours? •• But, thongla we would blame (gayer' hearted parents who would not 'speak one word for Jesus Chrigt, how gladly we turn to eulogizing the no- bility and the brateery and the true heartedeess of this man of my text, in if.' wee the works of God were here. .lade manifest. No coward was he. Not a tremor did he have. He was not one of thote who would go with amen 0,t1.3r long enough to get all he could out ot him and then' drop him. Nay. A friend with -hini was a friend all through. When the hirelings of the high priest came to him and Said, "If you do not denounce this 'Jesus wswill excommunicate thee," - the young man's eyes flashed and ;his -hand clinched and hie cheeks flushed as he proudly -lifted hie head and scornfully answered: "I will not deny him. Tim may kill me if You like. I will never go back on the Jesus who has done SO much for me. Whether he be eesinner or not,. I know not. One thing I know That whereas I was blind, now I see." And what was the reeula of thie young man's testitnony? Though he had the smallest oonviction of Christ, though- he could not tell who Jesus was in the broad Christian concep- tion, though he could only say, "He opened, my -eyes, and 1 see," yet that young r man's testimony as able to win many disciples to the cross. Have you not read the chapter of my text?. , sooner had this young man- told his simple etory than there was a di- vision among the multitudes. , Some still scoffed- at Christ. Some will al- ways scoff. But some Who came tok scoff knelt and prayed, for the 'Bible) • Bare, "Others said.

Yes, you can win_ them to -Christ now. But I cannot close without drawing attention to the most tremendous fact of this story, Though ,thio; young men only had a crude conception of Cheist when his eyes were opened, yet- as soon as he riva•s brave enough and ttual enough to live up to the go:mei light which he had Christ revealed -himself in all the beauty , of holiness to him.
