More than one West Virginia
newspaper has recently given its
valuable space to utterances
similar to the above. There is

our citizens have long wanted a

There is. 1t is true, a dispute here
as to. the particular location Of a
few feet of track within the cor
poration but that could not pos
sibly be called an OBSTRUCTION
TO the building of the road.
1t must be remembered that
the Clarksburg council and the
so-called Directing citizens had
agreed upon line through the
town for the railroad. We are
informed that it was the object of
the council to have the road so
located as to make the leastdang-
er to the travelling public and at
the same time do the least dam
age to the property of private
citizens. Now so far as we can
ascertain the trouble all lies in
refusal of the Short Line to use
the line arranged by council.
They want a different route and
claim thatitis necessary for them
to have it. Probably it is, but
about this point there seems to be
a dispute.
The TELEGRAM would regret
to see anything happen that
would tend to defeat the Short
Line if it is about to be built,
We have been a friend to the
movement from the start. We
are glad that the legal proceed

This ninth chapter of St. Johns gospel relates the
healing of the man born blind, and tells US, too, of the
various discussions and developments that grew out of the
miracle-the investigation of the matter bythe Pharisees-
their high-handed casting of the man out of the synagogue,
and of his subsequent interview with Christ and acceptance
of Him The account is opened by a question put to our
Lord by the disciple. Seeing this man, whose terrible
affection it had been to have passed all the years of his
life in utter darkness, the disciples had felt once more the
problem of evil brought home to them, and pressed for an
answer. Why so terrible an affection? To what was this
mans suffering to be attributed? Had his parents sinned,
so that his blindness was to be considered as Gods punish
ment for their transgressions !? Or, had the man himself
somewhere, perhaps in a previous state of existence, sinned
against God, so that he should be considered as now in
himself experiencing the just reward of his evil deeds !?
The problem of evil-why this mans total, unbroken, life
long blindness In reply, our Lord utters the words of the
text Neither hath man sinned, nor his parents but that
the works of God should be made manifest in him. This
teaches of course not that the man or his parents we're sim
less, but that on account of his sins, or those of his
parents, the disciples we're not to suppose that God was in
ficting punishment on this man. Whatever may have
been the mans sins, or those of his parents, this blindness
was not to be regarded as a punishment from God but
that on the contrary, it was that the works of God should
be made manifest in him. Now, this does not mean that
the man was made blind, in order that he might be healed.
Our Lord does not teach that the man was born blind that
in the healing of his infrmity Gods honor and glory might
be set forth. He does not mean to teach that God SEN
fenced this man to blindness simply to have some one upon
whom the miracle of healing might be shown. Christ de-
clares only that in this mans blindness, terrible and affective
as it is, an opportunity and an occasion is present for a
great act of divine power. Our Lord says in substance ::
Evil as is this blindness, however it may have been caus-
ed, it is the means and opportunity for Gods bestowing
