Blind Artist Gives Concert It is hard enough for a man possessing his eyesight to learn the violin, but when blind the task must be tremendous. Edward C. Pottsmith, a blind violinist and singer, gave a concert last night in the assembly room of the Denison. He explained that he began his struggle, handicapped with his total blindness, to earn the violin at the ago of 7 and that he has kept at his labors through all the years. His concert possessed charm. He is making no bid for favors because he is blind. He gives a satisfactory and pleasing concert. He asks to win on merit and not sympathy. His program consisted of standard numbers. Here is a remarkable example of what a man, who under terrible handicaps, may accomplish. (By W. D. H.) \

That I r* I seems a very sensible propoI I sition. So Jesus says, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” We are accustomed in daily life to attach a great deal of importance to seeing. Social workers have made such shocking discoveries regarding the defects of in children, and the serious consequences that are liable to follow in suffering, disease and accident if these defects are not corrected, that now widespread examinations are made in the schools, and the aid of the optician and oculist is sought w-here it is needed.

.WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.
sense, also, w’e lay special stress on observation. Since the stereopticon and moving picture machines have attained their place the great universities are establishing departments of “visual instruction.” Jesus did not neglect to refer to the necessity of proper vision. He said a great deal about “blindness” and “seeing.” But it is doubtful whether any teacher ever paid as much attention as did the Great Teacher to the gatew'ay of the car. This parable of the sow r er is intended to tell us more about hearing than about sowing. It ought to be, called the parable of the hearer. Art has helped to conceal its real purpose and teaching, for we always see the story of the parable pictured in a sower going forth to broadcast his seed. It would not. of course, be quite so easy to portray the ideal hearer. But, none the less, the parable is designed to teach a lesson about hearing. How do we know? Because Jesus himself has told us. This is one of the few parables that He has himself explained. ■ The disciples found it hard to understand. and they came to Jesus and asked Him what it meant. He did not tell them to be careful about the seed, and to watch how they sowed it. What He did was to tell them about the different kinds of ground

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
He told them the sort of people, and the kind of hearing, that were typified in each kind of ground that He had described, and He wound up His explanation of the parable with a very pointed injunction which showed, very clearly His purpose in telling the parable. This injunction, or warning, is differently expressed by Mark and Luke. Mark says that Jesus said, “Take heed what ye hear”; while Luke gives the words as “Take heed how ye hear.” Both mean much the same thing, and we get the full | meaning of Jesus by taking both exi pressions. In effect this Parable says to each ! one of us, What sort of ground are | you? Are you the ground by the | wayside, hearing just listlessly or by chance, not making It your chief purpose in life to hear God’s voice? Or are you the shallow, stony ground, without any depth or sub- | soil, where god’s truth takes hold lightly and springs up quickly but dies as quickly fqr lack of root? Or are you the thorny ground, where neglect and so many evil influences ; interfere with the seeds of truth I taking hold and flourishing? Or are j you the good ground really hearing i and receiving God's word and bringing forth fruit? Just as Vision is a matter not only ; of physical eyesight, but of peroepi tion and power of observation, hearj Ing is a matter of the soul. But the ear is n gateway to the soul. It is the grotind on which the seed Is caught. The farmer when he sows his seed often speaks about a “good catch.” We ought to think and speak a little m-ire about that in a world where God is scattering so much seed of truth for the ground of human life. "Take heed what ye hear." “Take heed how ye hear.” By hearing, of course, Jesus meant, as he shows in the Parable not just catching sounds, but understanding meanings. To understand God is to h n r,r with the soul. (riopyright, 11*24. NHA Service, Inc )
