(Don't you wish you knew what he wrote? It v. as done to give the rccusi-rs time to think; but they si lently disappeared, with their guilty conscience, and left Jesus and the woman alone.

Jewish people, born of Abraham, believ-rs in the Old Testament srrip ':ires worshippers in the temple, of fering sacrifice to Jehovah, were ac tually "children of the devil." a liar Dr. A. T. Pierson has said of the ninth chapter of John's Gospel that it is the most remarkable in the Mew Testament in its particular les sens, and the most detailed account of our Lord's dealings with indi viduals." Blindness from birth no man can change. His knowledge is limited, so are his joys reduced, oc cupations are few, the joy of living :.lmost taken away. The disciples are puzzled; the common belief was ihat someone was the cause of this condi tion someone had sinned; so they cm to Jesus with their question; b it Jesus does not answer the1 mtes- tsM vo i0ni n.iu. ,.,tT cc.i .i .iw.i, . w v 1 . j eu ij 11 1 1 11 1111; tT'jsvviLai 'ar.e; and that only so far as it is an occasion for action and not a subject fcr speculation. The works of God should be made manifest in him (the blind man); i. e. the power of God, who alone e-::n o;k-.i blind eyes, and thereby 1 ?:;t if- to fie divinity of His Son. the t ; euonlial-; trat I.'e had sent him.

The process of restoring sight to the man is used to bring him to faith rr:n:i is in regard to spiritual things. We find this condition even among the great raacses of church members. Only as man seeks and asks for the illumination of his mind and spirit l.v the Holy Spirit, will "light and :y3: "Thou through thy coinmand- mcnts hat made me wiser than all :ny enemies; I have more understand ing than all my teachers; I under stand more than the ancients . . . through thy precepts. I get under standing." (Ps. 119:9S-104. The simple obedience to Jesus' command brought sight to the blind. So can anyone be restored to God by obedience. UllOi ITEMS.

He was a small, meek person of color who cultivated a truck patch for living1, and was generally liked by the white population. He remained a bachelor until ho was nearing middle age. Then, in an unthoughted hour, he suffered himself to be shackled in the holy bonds of wedlock with a large truculent, overbearing black woman nearly twice his size. Within two weeks' time he came driving into Frankfort, in a two mule wagon, which was piled high with house hold effects. As he crossed the bridge over the Kentucky River a whhe gentleman hailed him: "Why, hello, Mose! Where are you going with all that plunder?" "Use movin', Mist' Bob," answered Mose. "Why, I thought you liked the country?" said the white man. "I used to lak it," said Mose. "I used to lak it powerful. But my wife she don't lak the country. An' yere lately I've tuck notice. Mist, Bob, dat w'en my wife don't lak a thing I jest natchelly hates it" (American News Features. Inc.) Let everyone give as much as they can.
