On the Water of Mfe .... 7 " -It On Light and Freedom 8:U-jO n ac Born Hilm! 9: 1-3 I'arable of the Qeed Shepherd ... 10; 1-31 Discourse on the Water of Life. We hate here merely the fiat of what WBg probably a prolonged discourse of ermOB. He proclaimed llim-clf ns the Water of Life, and that those who liein ted on Him should have in theinselvesv this Iitintr water. All the multitude within sou;. il of Ji-us' tcice were effected by Hi awwdei Bame saiif: "This i a prophet;" ofheta said: 'Thia is the Christ;" otler sai.l: "i hrisl cometh of the Bred" of David, and from Bethlehem.'' Thua was atnrted the preat popnlar divisiaa among the Jews of Jude; aonae for Him, nnd many ggninat Him. It waa at ;h time that Nlcodearna made a famous defenae in behalf of Jesus before the pharisecs. It was lie v ho jmkerV "Doth our raw jt:lfe n nian, except It first h-nr from himaclf and know what he doeth?" 'ere 51. Discourse on Light and Fr i ''urn.

The Jewa believed that siekiifo, nfTerit!fr or deformity f any kiitd was caused by sin, and' we tuny make the broad statement thnt bat for sin there would not be any sufferInir. Bed does not, delight In the troubles of His children, bni tbe Jewa who Baked! "Who did sin. this man or hi parent'.'" did not take into ncroimt one thine; Jegug rinde it plain: "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; bat thnt the works of tioil should be made manifest in him " In other words it was a sort of vic.irioua BtiPrririof He was blind that hi Bight miirht be restored by Jesus, und show the power of Odd, Jesus Himself la the prent example of the truth here Involved.
