DIR. Doolan read from the 18th
chapter of John, the twentieth to
the thirty-sixth verses, and took
for a text: John l2:2l-"Sir, we
would see Jesus" A familiar
passage, a request that has been
universal since His coming.
DIR. Doolan stated that he had
prepared a certain sermon for the
occasion, but that since 6 o'clock |
i'll the evening had changed his
mind, because he could not get
his mind away from the idea
that he must use the above text.
lie told Of an experience of DR..
Carroll. who did the same thing
on one occasion, changing his
mind after reaching the church
where he was to preach, and the
sermon which he preached that
day saved a man from killing
one OF his acquaintance.
DR.. Doolan told the story OF
the last time Jesus was in the
temple, teaching and preaching
The Greeks came from afar of
to see him. Why? All men arc
alike. The more they know Of
Jesus. the more they want to
know. and the less they know of
Him the less they want to know
Why did they want to see Je-
sus: : For the same reason that
acres of people wanted to see
Roosevelt, that thousands greet
Wilson or Jotfre or Foch. Every
one wants to see Mammoth
: Gave, Niagara Falls. Why? 1t is
because they are the mightiest of
their kind. That is why thc
Greeks came to see Jesus. Hei
was the mightiest Of all men who
had lived or would ever live.
Why was he the mighticst OF
men: On account of his miracu-
lous works, his oracular words,
his spectacular character. and
his piacular life and death.
Il thank God that | came to-
see and to know Him; he who
gave his Iife'S blood for me. /
want to tell Him how | love
Him"
He then told the story Of the
blind man whose sight had been
restored, who, when asked who
he wanted to see first when the
bandagc was removed from his
eyes, said, not the wife or the
daughter or the SONS, but the
Doctor who had given him his
sight that he might see his loved
again.
Everyone of us have lovedI
ones on the other side whom we
want to see, but, oh, my friends, i
first of all, want to see Him
who made it possible for me to!
love them"
The sermon on Wednesday
evening will be to those who are
unsaved and DIR. Doolan earnest
ly requested the christian people
present to bring such to the ser
vice
The meetings will continue
with services at 2::30 in the af-
ternoon and at 80 in the even
ing until further notice.
