Many blind "people had their eyes opened by Him' during His public ministry It would be interesting and; profitable to col lect the incidents and seek to gather the lesson fromi each,1 'yefea'ch ; "Has its iwn setting-apart, from which the, special les-. son of the case cannot be ' fully learned. All the incidents of healing in His muuV try speak of the kingdom where the blind see, tne deaf hear; the ' lame walk, the dumb sing and ' the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick (Isa. xxxv,, 5r 6; xxxiii, 24). - - ; ; " : 2, , 3. It is a common thought, with many, ' even to this day," that any and ev ery 'affliction 'must be thea-esult'of some Bin; but our Lord says not so; rather, He says that the blind, deaf, dumb and sick give ppportunityto, make manifest: the works of God. Allowing that , there would have been no sickness and no 'suf fering had there, been no, sin, and that sin is the work of the devil and that Je sus came to destroy the works of the 'dev il (I John, iii, 8; Acts x, 38), every work of ' the i devil gives ' the Lord - the ' oppor tunity to destroy it. In due time He will destroy all enemies, even death itself, as well as him who has the power of it (I Cor, xv, 26; Hab. ii; 14). f V - l - 4, 5. It was a stronger comfort-to the Lord Jesus that the Father sent Him (John vii,. 16, 18, 28, 29t 33; viii, 16, 18, 26, 29,' 42, etc.). " He came as the light of the world to work the works of God! Now .that, He has returned to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit with a special commission, all His redeemed , are in the world as the light of the world that God may how work His works through them (Math, v, 14, 16; Phil, ii, 13). His own words to the Father in prayer were, "As Thou hast sent Me into the world,'5 even so have, I, also sent them into the world," and after His resurrection He said to HisH disciples, -As 'My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you" (John xvii, 18; xx, 21). 6, 7. ; There are blind people every where, blinded by the god of this world (Il'Cor.' iv. 3, 4). The Lord Jesus ia still opening I blind eyes, and t He often uses clay' to do it, ,We are the clay, He is the;. potter, T and we are' in His ' hand' as 'the clay in the hand ,of the potter, (Isa. Ixiv, 8; Jer. xviii, 6). We are His workman ship Eph. ii,' 10) even as - that piece of clay Was, and He. will-, apply , us to some bhnd eyes to open them if We are as passive- in His 1 hands as that piece of clay; but we must be content to be, used and washed off into Siloam that He may be glorified. He rejoices to be sent of Godj as we have been, and the clay was washed off in Siloam,4 Which means Sll. Tney contrast between the poor blind beggar and the man walking about with his; eyes open was so great that those who formerly knew him did not recognize him, and some could -hardly believe him to be the same person. : His own ' testimony " was clear and convincing, "I am tne man wno was bund, and a man called Jesus put clay on my eyes and sent me to wash it off m Siloam, and 1 went and washed, and -I received sight." i If there was as marked a contrast between the new life1 and the old in every-child of God, how God would be glorified! ;;-And certainly "3od desires it to be according to II ; C5or, i iv. i U ; v, 15, 17, and He - would make it so if we were only willing. 12.! "Then -5 said theyunto him, Where is He? He said, , I know not." He had never seen Him and knew not whither He went after He had put the clay J upon his eyes and sent him to Siloam. , When Jesus found himafter the Pharisees had cast: him out, 'and said Imto. him,: Dost thou believe on the Son of God? he did not' know who was speaking to him,' but saidV Who is he, Lord,i that I might; t be lieve on him? Then for the first time he saw,' and; knew that he saw,' hist Lord; ; his healer, and-he believed on Him an4 wor shiped Him (verses 35-38).; v 13.

"And it was the Sabbath day When Jesus made - the clay. - and opened v his eyes." The impotent man at the ; pool Bethesda was also healed on ' the Sabbath day, and for thus breaking -their Sabbath the Jews sought to kill Jesus (John v, 9, 16). : They :' had - perverted - the Lord's feasts and ordinances, and by their., tra ditions set up those of their own, accord ing to their own thoughts, . making - the word of God of,, none effect (Math, xv, 8, 6, 9). " Although Jesus had told them more than dhce who He was and whence He was, yet they insist upon saying, As for this fellow we know not from whence He is (verse 29), and also say,' This man is not of ' God, because He keepeth not the Sabbath day.- .1 s t '-, , . '. .15. He put clay upon muue eyes, and washed and do see." This is the man's answer to the Pharisees when they asked how he' had received his -sight... He is a good witness; ;ne .always tens tne. same story. He is also a bold witness (verses 80-33) and is1 privileged to be reviled for it (verse 28). . ' tie Is very strong - upon one great point, 4One thing I know; that whereas ! was blind, npw I see'' (verse 25).

"He is a prophet.". As the Pharisees disputed about Christ : and were divided in- their opinions," they asked the man who had been blind what he had to say of; Him, and this was his answer; Their condition was far worse than that pf the' blind beggar, for his blindness was physical, and he. knewiie was blind and was willing to be healed ; they were blind spiritually? ana did . not know it. but ac tually thought they saw (verses 40. 41). and therefore needed nonhealing.

' After the ceremony was all over, the bride explaind her position youee, x? Mr. - Sheridan she said 'farm hands are jtnighty hard to get in thid nart of the eountrv. and tha even harder tb keep. "2 You get a cood hired man and get him ; well broke in to work, around the farm and ' the first thing you know he quits the job and goes off" to town or . somewhere else.
