As he spoke, Jesus spat upon the ground. Mixing dot with the spittle, he molded a mud which he p!a'*ered upon the eyes of the blind man. "Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam," Jesus commanded. The beggar made his way to the stream, at no great distance from the temple, and did as he had been bidden. As he washed the mud away, his sight was miraculously restored.

The gates of the temple I were the favorite gathering places; | for the beggars of Jerusalem. ! There they stood or sat and asked alms from the worshipers. 4. The Jews were of the opin j ion that physical afflictions were | the result of sin -that is that they ! were a form of punishment visit - j rd upon the sinner by God.

Overjoyed at being given his sight, the beggar flattened homeward. His neighbors questioned if he were the same man. "I am he,” the beggar tod them. "This man called Jesus anointed me with mud and bade me wash in Siloam's pool, and I received my sight. Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes bi a man born blind. If he were not from God. he could do nothing."

1 beggar argmul that he had been restored and that Jesus must lie of divine origin. Then the neigh- j hors cast him out in disgust. 9. When Jesus heard of this, he sought cut the beggar and asked) him if he believed in the son of Gel. The blind man ar'ted who! • this person might tie. Jesus told lpm t lint he was the son of Gol. 10.

"Thou west altogether born in sins and thou wculdst teach us.” his listeners said. And they ca;t him out. When Jesus heard this, he sought the- man. "Dost thou "believe in the son of God?” lie asked. “And who is he, Lord, that I may believe?" the beggar asked. "Thou hast both seen him. and h eit is that speaketh with thee,” Jesus said.

THE VOLUNTEER By Harlowe R. Hoyt In these days of depression, when employment ii scarce and many are walking the streets looking for work, it behooves each of ns so well situated that we are able to face the situation to volunteer our aid. Plans are being devised to meet Hie situation which confronts nol only this nation, but every other nation as well. Hard times have come in the past, following on the wake of war. when periods of re- | adjustment shattered all existing j standards and made necessary ! new standards of living. But none | of these have been as far-reaching j nor as continous as the one we are enduring. Nor is the end in I sigtjt. Charity begins at home; and. as some wit once put it. most of ] it is too weak to get out. But in ibis stress, it is for the common good to help the unfortunate, j Community Chests and charitable drives have become a pari of our j national life. Thev continue, with | greater pressure than ever before, j To many of us. it seems that the limit has beer, reached. Now is the time for the volunteer. In today's lesson, we are told how Jesus, passing by the gates of the great temple, beheld j a beggar blind from birth. The man begged alms to keep body and soul together. He asked noth- | ing more. But the Savior, in his ' all seeing wisdom and kindness. volunteered his aid and brought j sight to him who never had seen. Can we not take this lesson to heart and make a practical application of it today? Can not each one of us volunteer a bit here and ja ' hit there; aid to deserving families: clothing which can be i spared, money if we have it: or 1 casual employment to those who seek it.
