Copyright. 1899. by D. M. Stearns. . .
1. "And as Jesus passed by He saw a
man which was blind from hia birth."
In Acts ill, 2", we see a man lame from his
birth who was healed though Peter and
John. Theeecases of Infirmity from birth
are suggestive of the truth that we are all
sinners by birth, by nature-the children pt
wrath (Eph. iL 8). The oases of Infirmi
ties which come after birth are suggestive
of the after manifestations of the sin that
W born In us. - ) :
And . His dlsciDles asked Him
lr Master, who did Bin, this man- or his
parents, that he was born blind? . The
reasoning of Job's friends is brought to
mind "whoever perished being innocent,"
and many such like words (Job Iv, 7), but
when the Lord summed up the matter He
said that these men had not spoken of
Him right things (Job xlil,' 7). While
It is true that whatsoever a -ic an soweth
that shall he also reap, yet we cannot
judge from seeing one sick or suffering
that therefore they are reaping from some
sowing, for whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth, and if we endure chastening
God dealeth with us as with sons (Heb.
xll, 6, 7). . , ... ,
8. Jesus answered, Neither hath this
man sinned nor his parents, but- that the
works of God should be made manifest in
him." This man's blindness was not the
suit of any special sin on the part of his
parents. . This is what our. Lord says.f He
aoes not say that his parents were not sin
ners needing a Saviour, but He does say
that this affliction of having a blind son
was not a judgment upon Jthem, but
rather an oocasion for God to be glorified.
There are many nowadays who think that
a blind or lame or sickly child Is an affllo
tion upon the'parents for some ein against
God. : : , v,
" ,4 !'I must work the works of Him that

ter wants material on which to use his
tools and show his skill, a doctor or a sur
geon wants patients, and the worse or
more hopeless the case the more credit to
the physician for, bringing a cure and
health. Our Lord'often repeats the truth
that all His works are commanded by and
wrought by. the Father who sent Him, and
more than oncost., is written that as the
Father Bent Him'so He sends us.- : It Is
equally true that as- God wrought in Him
so God works in us, for while we are com
manded - to work we are also told in the
aanie connection that it is God that work
eth in us both to will and to do. It was
His hand which-prepared all the good
works we are to walk In. - - :
6. - "As long as I am In the world I am
the light of the world." This is oft repeat-,
(chapters 1, 4, 9; vlll, 12; xii, 46). And
in the Sermon On the Mount He said to
His disciples, "Ye are the light of the
world." We must remember that the life
is the light,' and the life is that which
men see and read. Words may amount

Many are the afflictions of the

One of the northern Mehodiet
Advocates has much contempt for
tho -oW reivaltinethods of bis own
church, including the class meet:
ing and the 'mourner8 bench."
It proposes instead "a spirit of con
secrated ingenuity, of zealous in
quiry, of holy zeal, which will de-'
vise fresh methods of securing con
versions; modern revival helps and
appliances adapted to the spirit
and life of' today." If the old
were in use as formerly the things
soughtjn this paragraph would be
realized. Itis like talking of the
higher Christian graces and sanc
tified power without the "work of
the Holy Spirit in the bou! in re
generation and sanctification. It
is astonishing to see a paper of the
kind a pooh-poohing of the means
that have proved-so wonderful in
the Jast hundred aud fifty years in
building up the Church of God and
in leading so many immortal souls
in, the way of life. But the new
doctors propose new quackery and
scoff at the long tried old remedies
that cured houdreds of thousands
f sufferers. .Some newthing is
sought after, and the "old-time
machinery," that is repudiated by
that particular northern Advocate
is sent into the lumber , room and
new fads and new plans are resort
ed to. . :And the old; song" -runs,
"old time religion is good enough
for me." That writer eays the old
revival methods are - "obsolete,"
and out of touch and are not ."the
to right means to be nsed." Perhaps

In the absence of other explana

she did so under contract tht she
