/ Why is one smitten with this az
Fiction while others have unusual
keenness of vision? Why should one
be born with such serious limitation?
The disciples were concerned about
these things, and they asked what
seemed to be rather a foolish ques-
ton. Master, who did sin, this man
or his parents, that he should be
born blind?"
How could the man himself have
sinned before his birth? The ques-
ton seems to suggest that they had
notion of pre-existence, and that
mans situation in this life, was de-
ternined in some measure by what
he had done in a previous existence.
There is, of course, no need for us
to turn aside such unenlightening
speculations.
The late John c. Woolley, in a
great temperance address which he
delivered in various parts of the
country, used to lay great stress on
the opening sentence in this story,
He emphasized the fact that Jesus
saw the blind man and pointed out
that the failure of many people to
give adequate service to their fellow
men arises from the fact that they
never see the need.
In fact, he suggested that too
often we deliberately close our eyes
/ to the unpleasant facts of life. We
try to forget that there are blind, or
poor, or suffering. and needy. people.
And the philosophy of our shallow
contentment is too often, ''out of
sight out Of mind"
But Jesus saw the blind man. He
saw him likewise exactly as he was,
and with all the passion to help him
OF which the Son of God was
capable. The miracle and the method
Of the miracle need not be discussed.
We cannot understand the power
that Jesus exercised in healing or
in giving sight to the blind. There
would be no such thing as a miracle
If we could explain it or under
stand it.
Mems SpecuIatiOns
The interest OF the story goes be-
yond the restoration of sight to the
blind man to the mans clear ex-
perience and to the ridiculous dis
cusslons of men who wanted to
speculate rather than to see the
facts. So concerned were some Of
these people for bending the facts
to their theories that they en-
deavored to persuade the blind man
that his sight had been restored to
him by a man who was a sinner.
They could not deny the blind
mans identity. they could not deny
that the man who formerly had been
blind now clearly had his sight so
they said, Give glory to God; we
know that this man is a sinner"
The blind mans testimony, how
ever, rings clear and true, and It
ought to have vital suggestion for
our testimony today. Whether he
be a sinner or no, know not: one
