Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 13.—In tills sermon tin* preacher shows 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 is, 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 (Mil and the New Testa ments do not deal entirely with the Enochs and the Joshuas and the Jo sephs. Those men, to be frank, are too good lor me to feel fellowship with them. I road and reread the records of their lives, and I do not find one flaw in them. Rut when 1 find God offering his mercy and pardon to a Jacob and a David and a Peter and a doubting Thomas I say t<« myself, “Ah, if God | can (•h-iins** stmh men of their sins, I fenny, Is- < a!i an ! will cleanse t .e of my sins if I only throw myself upon his mercy and his love." Now, our Lord s disciples had the same doubts and dm sumo failings in their nature its we ha\ e. Though they lived very close to Jesus in a physical sense, they were inst as far from him in a spir itual sense as some of us are. The game problems and difficulties which are worrying ns were worrying them. The same .piestions which arc being discussed by us were being discussed by them.

For ' the loveof God, give me backsheesh!” I ' think that the disciples its they were walking along had their heads togeth er, talking earnestly upon some great i gospel theme. They wanted Christ to ! explain for them some of the knotty ! questions of theology which we all want him to do. Among these prob lems was probably that of suffering. Was it tnii*. as so runny Jews be lieved, that adliction was sent as pun ishment for sinY We know from the ! book of Job that such an idea was prevalent, but was It true? There were some facts that contradicted the the ory. Some men were undoubtedly good, yet were great sufferers. This difficulty was so obvious that another theory had sprung up. There were some who said, “Perhaps the sufferer Is good, and his suffering may be the result of the sin of his ancestors.” As they talked they noticed the conspicu ous beggar at the temple gate, and they made his case the subject of a j question to their Master. Why was this man blind? Was his blindness a punishment for his own sin or for gome sin committed by his parents? That is a question which has long been a mystery, and perhaps you and I have discussed it a hundred times. What did Jesus say? Why, he said, “Neither hath this man sinned nor his parents, hut that the works of God should be made manifest in him.” The Kxplauation. Have you grasped the full signlti- eauf*e of this answer? If you do you have the key to some of the mysteries of your own 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 financial 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 that? Well, if not, I want to plead with you to be lieve It. Therefore let us try and find out how the w r orks of God can be made manifest In your present physical, men tal and spiritual troubles, as they were made manifest in the miraculous cure of the young man of the east who was born blind and who had his eyesight given to him when he obeyed the com mands of the Lord Jesus Christ. When the blind man’s eyes were opened Christ performed a miracle which no power on earth had ever been able to do. He was not an oculist who was cutting away a cataract which, as a dark cnrtaln, had been dropped over the eyeball of an old man. He was not a charlatan who was making a salve out of the mod to assuage the inflammation of the oph thalmic nerves. But he was a miracle worker who could give bearing 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 the east his eyesight when there was no visual organ there, when the ocular nerves were gone. The work Christ was doing for that young man's eyes was exactly what he could do if he put a new leg upon your body after your leg had been crushed In a railroad accident and amputated by the surgeon’s knife. Never since the world was created up to the time of Jeans had any man ever received his sight after he had been bom blind. This miracle was a test case. Christ was practically saying, “If 1 can give eye sight to this afflicted one 1 can do everything and anything, O ye of lit tle faith.” A Test ( use. Tin* other day 1 saw a picture of the new gallery of one of the largest audi toriums of the west. It was filled with hundreds of bags of sand and lime. They were put there to test the strength of the gallery, ns every rail road bridge is tested before a passen ger train Is allowed to go over it. Those sand hags were practically say ing, “If this gallery can hold up my weight it can hold up the bodies of hundreds of people who shall he crowd ed into it.” So Christ by curing the eyesight of one horn blind was proving to the world that his superhuman pow er could accomplish anything, since it could cure one horn blind. If we use blindness or any other in curable physical infirmity as the sym bol of siu we have a right to Infer that the power which can give sight or re move the infirmity is a superhuman power and that the same power can eradicate sin. An old legend tells us that Martin Luther when he was torn by remorse and anguish over his past sins had it strange dream. At that time he was very sick. While he lay in his bed he saw the evil one enter Ills room with it huge scroll upon his l tack. With a demoniac leer he suddenly began to* unroll it. The scroll seemed to grow larger and larger ns it unfold ed before Luther’s eyes. Then as the fiend began to unroll this scroll Luther began to read. Ami its lie read on he found out that this long scroll was the record of his past evil life. “There are thy sins,” the fiend chuckled. “Alia, see, the record of them is all there!” But its Martin Luther read on sudden ly a passage of Scripture flashed into his mind, lit* raised himself upon his sickbed and said: “Oh, demon, you have forgotten 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!h us from all sin.’” No sooner did Luther speak thus, the old legend says, "than the fiend gath ered up itis long, heavy scroll and, with a wild cry of defeat, lied Into the dark ness of the night." That may be only a legend, but it is the consolation of many a sin burdened heart. Like the blind man <>f tin* e- si, we have been staggering along in the darkness of our sins. Rut Jesus has come and touched our eyes. Jesus has cleansed us. Jesus has made a test case out of our sins. 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 kin dled eyesight of the blind man of the east! Oh, the divine grace which can cleanse us from all sin! Tli** IllInd’H llintory. But it is not sufficient hero 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 supernatural pow er. We must go more into detail 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 Jesus 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 ho had ever heard of Jesus or he had ever spoken to Jesus or that Jesus had ever spoken to him. lie was Just one of those miserable beggars of the east who live on charity. There these beggars may he met on every street. Like the Jerusalem dogs, they crawl under the very hoofs of your horses. They greet you in the country. They follow you Into the city. They are at every street cor ner. They are cursed at and spat up on. "Get out of the way there, you beggar!” you can hear the cry on al most every hand. They are the vam pires, the offscourings of the east. Like the poltroons of Rome, who used to cut off their thumbs so they could not shoot a how and arrow and would therefore be immune from 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 beg gar of the east must have been well used to kicks and cuffs and uphraid- ments! But no sooner had Peter finish ed talking than a most wonderful ex perience was his. The blind man could not see, hut be could hear. He could feel. And, oh, the softest voice began to talk to him! Every word was a gentle word of love. 'Hie softest touch pressed his eyelids. This strange be ing came and put some salve upon his eyes and then said, “Son, go to the pool of Siloam and wash.” The blind man could not make out who this strange being was, but he felt that he must he either a God or the repre sentative of a God. Thus the blind man went and came seeing. That is the symbol of true conversion. It Is obeying Christ as the blind man obey ed him. It is just giving yourself np to his will. It Is doing what be wanta you to do, even though it may seem a foolish way of getting cured. Th* blind man obeyed Christ, even though be could not tell who he was. Trait and Belief. “Oh,” you answer, ‘1 do want Jean* for my Saviour, but I cannot under stand bow be could be co-eqnal with God and yet be born of Mary the Vir gin! I want to believe It, but I can not. I don’t understand how this Jeans could be resurr cted from the dead. I do not understand bow he coaid per form those miracles,” Don’t you, my brother? Perhaps yon do not see his face as Paul saw it on the Damascus road. But that doea not prevent yonr trusting him like the blind man of the east. Even though you cannot under stand all about him, cannot yon hear his sweet voice? Cannot you feel the touch of his fingers upon your eye lids? Cannot vou hear him saying to I you as he spake to the blind man of the east, “Go 'wash in 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? Oh, that we could all live in the sim ple faith iu which Sir David Brewster, the great scientist, lived ami died! When he was coming near to the eud of his life he said to his Christian phy sician, Sir James Simpson: “I shall see Jesus, and that will he grand. I shall see him who made the worlds.” Then he went on and explained to Dr. Simpson that one of the greatest de sires of his life in reaching heaven was j to have so many tilings explained which he could uot understand bore. Then, as the end drew near, he whis pered: “Yes, I have had the light for many years, and, oh, how bright it is! I feel so safe, so satisfied.” Cannot you he like the gentle, Christian David Brewster? Cannot you he like the blind man of the east? Cannot you just obey Christ ami leave the myste ries to be solved later? Oh, how soft that voice is! How gentle is that touch. Canst thou not hoar him gently say, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam?” In thy blindness, wilt thou not go? A Brave IIckk»i*. But there is another fact you must hear well in mind. No sooner did this young man have his eyes opened tit the Siloam poo] than In* became brave enough and manly enough to speak the truth and tell what Jesus had done for him. He was not a craven hearted, un grateful coward, as were bis timid parents. He was one of those high principled, true, noble fellows who nev er believe in going hack upon a friend or refusing to give the credit to the person who has done them a fa vor. But before we show what the true heartedness of this young man was able to do for Christ let us turn for a little while and study the parents of this blind hoy. You cannot praise the hoy’s manliness without condemn ing the timidity of the father and mother. These two parents, of all peo ple, ought to have been most grateful to Jesus. Come, let us imagine for a little while that we are sitting in the home of these parents. It is about noon. The two old folks arc taking their din ner. The blind son Is uot there, for ho Is up at the temple begging, us is his wont. When his guide led him there in th** morning the blind hoy took his lunch along. The father has just finished his meal and he is stretching out his arms as he walks to the door. Suddenly he turns and calls: “Mother! Mother! Come here, quick! Is not that our James running up the road? Look! He has cast off his staff! Look! He is running as though he could see! No one Is guidiug him! Look! The people are following hirn in great mul titudes, calling: ‘He sees! He sees! The blind hoy sees!’ Yes, it Is our hoy, and his eyes are opened! He sees! He sees!” The old mother trem bles with excitement. Great tears of joy are running down the father’s cheeks. And when the son enters they stroke his hair again and again and look Into his face with such a deep, heartfelt gratitude. They keep saying: “My hoy! My boy! My hoy! No longer a blind beggar! He sees! He sees!" How He Wu!! Cured. Now what happens? No sooner is tin* first exciting welcome over than the parents say to their son: “My hoy, who gave you these eyes? How dost thou see?” Then the son replies: “Why, mother and father, this was my expe rience: I was down near the temple begging. A man by the name of Jesus came along. He had the sweetest voice. He had the gentlest touch. He made a salve. This he rubbed upon my eyelids. Then he told me to go and wash in the pool of Siloam. Oh, mother! I want you to come with me and thank Jesus for my eyes.” “What!” says the mother. “Jesus? Is It the same Jesus whom the leaders of the church are trying to kill? No. My son, don’t mention his name. Why, If you do this the church leaders will ex communicate us, and we shall never have any of our neighbors ns our friends. You have your eyes. Of course this man Jesus cannot take them away from you. Now, you had better pretend that he had nothing to do with the miracle.” Did you ever hear anything meaner? Did you ever know of an action more contemptible than that of the parents of that young man who had received his sight? I have given to you the gist of their ac tions In my own language. Oh, yes, I know of some other actions Just as con temptible. They are your actions and mine when we refuse to give God the credit for all Christ has done for us and ours. We are In exactly the same position as were these parents who re fused to give Jesus the credit of open ing the blind eyes of their son when they said: “By what means he now seeth we know not, or who hath open ed his eyes we know not. He Is of age; aak him. Let him speak for him self.” Are we so cowardly that we will not give Christ the credit for what he has done for ns and ours? But though we would blame the craven hearted parents who would not speak one word for Jesus Christ how gladly we turn to eulogizing the no bility and the bravery and the true heartednesa of this man of my text. In whom the works of God were here made manifest. No coward was he. Not a tremor did he have. He was not one of those who would go with a man only long enough to get all he coaid out of him and then drop him. Nay. A friend with him was a friend all high priest came to him and said, “If you do not denounce this Jesus we will excomnnuiicHte tin***," the young man’s eyes flushed and* his hand clinched and his cheeks flushed as In* proudly lifted his head and scornfully answer ed: “I will not deny hirn. You may kill me if you like. I will never go back on tin* Jesus who has done so much for me. Whether he be a sinner or not. I know uot. One thing I know— that, whereas I was blind, uow I see.” The Hejtnlt of JIIm CouraKe. And what was the result of this young man’s testimony? Though he had the smallest conviction of Christ, though he could not tell who Jesus was in the broad Ghristian conception, though he could only say. “He opened my eyes, and I see." yet that young man’s testimony was aide to win many disciples to the cross. Have you not read the chapter of my text? No soon er had this young man told his simple story than there was a division among the multitudes. Some still scoffed at Christ. Some will always scoff. But some who came to scoff knelt and prayed, for the Bible says, “Others said. How can a man that is a shiner do such miracles?” And, my brother, you may he a spiritual weakling, hut if you go forth earnestly and faithfully to tos- 1 tify for the Master with the litrht you have you will win many souls to Christ. Yes, you can win them to Christ now. But I cannot close without drawing attention to the most tremendous fact of this story. Though this young man only had a crude conception of Christ when his eyes were opened, yet as soon as he was brave enough and true enough to live up to the gospel light which he had Christ revealed himself | in all the beauty of holiness to him. Just read that chapter. If Is a beautiful story. It is only one step from the crude belief to the perfect belief. If you will go forth and serve God by the light you have Christ will come to you as he came to the young man of the cast, whose eyesight la* had kin died, and la* will say: “Dost thou lie lleve ou the Son of God? Thou hast I seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee." And he said: “Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.” Yes, if we will only continue to serve God by the i light we have Jesus t'hrist will con tinue more and more to reveal himself to us in a brighter a: I a holler and a truer light Thus today, whether we are old or young, rich or poor, church members or noncburch members, 1 feel that we are one and all standing in the light of some gospel truth. Are we ready to obey that truth as much as we see It? Are w’e ready to proclaim that truth no matter what earthly power bids us nay? Are we ready to he true to Christ, as was Bishop Latimer when preaching before King Henry VIII.? In the midst of his sermon he suddenly stopped and said: “Latimer! Latimer! Latimer! Remember thou art In the presence of thy king. Heed well what thou sayest to him.” Then he paused again and said: “Latimer! Latimer! Latimer! Remember that thou art in the presence of the Kiug of kings. Heed well what thou sayest. It is more im portant to obey the King of kings than it is to obey auy earthly potentate.” Oh, my friends, are you saying this? Will you he as true to the Kiug of kings as was Hugh Latimer or the young man of the east who was brave enough to he true to Christ when be said, "Whether In* he a sinner or not, I know not, but one tiling I know—that, where as I was blind, now I see?"

He had several mil lions and in forty years had purchased one suit of clothes, a cheap pair of trousers, two overcoats, and In sixteen years four straw hats were his only head covering. He would noi have his shoes blackened for fear of wearing them out, and his hnnsekeeper cut his hair. A Russian millionaire, Solodovnlkogo, left millions for charity when he died. He had lived alone for years, little bet ter than a dog. He was ragged and miserable. With an Income of half a million a year, his expenditures were uot over $3 weekly. M. Colassou of France was rich and happy till his favorite nephew was burned to death. Then he shut him self In a room and for twenty-seven years lived as a recluse, seeing only an old servant. He ate only eggs and bread. James Tyson, Australian millionaire, boasted that during his long life he had never entered a theater, worn gloves, washed himself with soap nor worn a white shirt.
