' One of the great eastern dailies has a woman for assistant managing edi- tor; and from her vantage point 'of ob- servation she rendered a whimsical judgment the other day, in private con- versation, that lends point to this in- teresting old lesson story: "Facts and common sense seem to have gone from the world. People are crazy after av- erything but old-fashioned, ordinary common sense. It's so in politics, it's so in religion, and it's so in the whole life of the day. What the world needs more than anything else is a reform lain common sense." his duel between common sense and theological and ecclesiastical as- tuteness, which is the central theme of the day's Lesson, strongly visudlizes the world's present religious condition, As then, so now, plain, sensible loyal- ty to the facts of personal experience, overcome the preconceptions and par- tisanship of the Pharisees, with their rigid formulas and their closed minds. As the healed blind man triumphed by his simple and unshakable testimony to what he actually knew, so Christ- ianity in our day may have its greatest victories by the old-fashioned method of witness-bearing by disciples.

The International Sunday School Lesson for December 7th Is: "The Man Born B lind."--John 9:1-41, By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Jesus could not be a good man, for he Had done this deed on the Sabbath. (Seven miracles of Mercy the Master manifested on the Sabbath.) They later cried, with an ossified religiosity that is fairly humorous. "Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sin- ner." Stubborn int his consciousness of the fact that once he-was blind, and that Jesus had given him vision, the healed man persisted in honoring the Naza- rene as a prophet. When he could not be shaken, the Pharisees tried to bring him, as well as his Healer; into ill re- pute. They even appealed to the man's parents, who canhily evaded the diffi- culty by telling what they knew of a certainty, and then putting the respon- sibility for anything else up to thelr son himself. At this point in the story, a strange thing Bappened. The cringing beggat, who had all his life been whining out his plea for alms by the roadside and at the temple gate, suddenly displayed a new manhood. Jesus had given him something more than sight. He had restored the beggar's soul, as well as his sénse of seeing. We pduse to con- sider how Christ does make men of his converts. We recall the "untouch. ables" of India, whose very shadow was pollution to a Brahmin, now made into self-respecting men and women by the Gospel. Standing up straight and speaking out loud, the ex-beggar, now a free man, sure that he had been saved, be- gan to talk back to the Pharisees, and even to mock in irony at their incon- sistent reasoning! Such presumption and "bad manners" as they must have deemed it! In fearless freedom and selfrespect, the man who had been as | blind, affirmed unshakably, "One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now 1 see," From that rock of testimony he could not be budged. The new manhood and sound sense of this once servile beggar is almost as great a mir- acle as the gift of sight. Of gourse, the Pi s, with unrestrained reviling, cast the oh out of the circles they controlled: but what was official excommunication to one who had sud. duly discovered his* sight and hs 's Way Out. ts of a detail 7 7 2 Bg 7, /) in I! i li i il ANZ AMZ NRE ANS 7 7 7 ANZ AN NZ AN O07 AN ANI AW ANE OW OW 7 ANZ AR ARIZ ANG ANZ AN2 ANT NRF VA AN Maal ZA IA LA STR TA TA ZA VAN IN TAN APPY indeed will be the hostess who finds a chest of glinting, durable 1847 Rogers Bros.
