REDEEMER CHURCH ACTIVE
Lutheran Congregation on the Hill Has
Had Unusual Growth During
, Fast Year
The Redeemer Lutheran church,
(Nineteenth and Kensington streets near
Derrv street, the Kov. E. Victor Bo
land, pastor, has bad an unusual growth
and quickened activity during the past
year. This is verified not only by the
fact that last Sunday there was the
largest attendance at the regular ses
sion of the Sunday school and at the
communion service in the history of the
church, but also by the reports of the
year's work given at the annual con
gregational meeting.
Inspired by this, the pastor atid con
gregation are planning for a period of
great activity from now until Easter.
Beginning to-morrow, the pastor will
preach each Sunday on "The Great
Doctrines of Salvation." The sermons
for morning and evening will be on
companion themes. The series will be
gin to-morrow in the morning, "Salva
tion —From the God-Ward Side;" in
the evening, "Salvation—Prom the
Man-Ward Side." At the evening
service Miss Lillian Miller, a pupil of
Miss Lemer, will play "The Angel's
Dream" n, the violin.
The mid-week prayer meeting will
also be of special nature, partly devoted
to prayer and song and partly to re
ligious instruction for adults who de
sire to know more about the Christian
life and church relationship.
The culmination of the plan will be
in two weeks of special services preced
ing Easter. Tn all the services the
choir will co-operate with the pastor
that Cod's message may be brought in
song, as well as in the preached word.

THE BLIND MAN'S CREED.
Text, "On® thins 1 know—whereae I *U
blind, now 1 see."—John Ix, 26.
St. John WHS evidently very much
Interested In this blind man. He has
devoted the whole ninth chapter of the
book to him, a very exceptional thing.
As Boswell showed his Interest In the
life of Johnson and Abbot In the life
of Napoleon, so John In this little
sketch showed that be was Interested
and that the event was of much Impor
tance. John was the disciple of love.
Love Is sympathetic. I.ove Is also
blind. It to said. Love has imagina
tion, so John could put himself in the
blind man's place. The blind miss so
much—the green freshness of spring,
the mellowness of summer, the glories
of autumn, the marvels of winter. "As
Christ passed by he saw a blind man."
Looking is not always seeing. Christ
saw as he walked. Folks mostly see
whnt they look for—four leafed clovers,
flowers, babies, buildings, clouds, land
scapes. It's curious to hear folks tell
what they saw in a walk—a dress, a
face, an automobile, a sick child. Je
sus saw a blind man. What did his
disciples see? His face was full of
pity, theirs full of prying curiosity.
"Who did sin. this man or his father,
that he was born blind?" There's ■
curiosity that Is cruel.
Article* of Religion.
The neighbors were also curious.
Curiosity is uot feminine, it is human.
Ere was not more curious than Zac
chueus. "Wonder if that is the man
born blind?" say they. I like the way
the man talked. The neighbors did
not appeal to him. but he, hearing the
debate, interposed and settled the
whole matter. "I am he." He is a
bold man who tries to rectify the mis
takes of his neighbors. Then the rul
ers started to cross question him.
They wanted to know bo\y he was
cured. Interested in methods rather
than meu. Next: "Who was it gave
you sight? Since it was done on the
Sabbath day, was he -a sinner?" He
doesn't know any of these things, but
his answer is refreshing, "One thing I
know, I was blind, now 1 see!" That
sounds like the bark of a Are Inch
rapldfire gun. My creed haV twenty
five articles of religion; another has
thirty-nine. This man's creed had but
one—"l can see!" Most of us stand up
reverently on Sunday morning and re
peat the Apostle's Creed. It is a good
thing. I suppose the larger a creed is
the better—lf a man believes It—that la,
as this man believed his, with his
whole being. Some of us believe too
much. Not more than is true, but
more than we can respond to.
A Creed of Experience.
Wheu the Master was upon the earth
lie satisfied different people in differ
ent ways. He wasn't the same Christ
to each. To the hungry bread,
to the thirsty drink, to the deaf hear
ing, to the blind sight, to the crippled
power of locomotion. That's all they
knew of Christ. Their need was their
creed. I won't fight folks who can't
believe much. Thomas Chalmers was
ouce a skeptic; so were Robert Hail and
Christmas Kvnns. I remember how
much Jesus had to say In approbation
of faith as large as a mustard seed.
And Paul said. "Him that is weak in
the faith receive you." If your creed
is an experience it is easy to believe.
When they asked this blind man a the
ological question he was unable to an
swer. but what lie knew he could have
shouted from the housetops, "One
thing I know—l see!" You could not
separate that man from his creed. Ev
ery time he saw a bird fly or a leaf
flutter he could feel his creed over
again—"l see!" A "trail hitter" spoke
in m.v church last week. In the coal
region of Pennsylvania he'd been a
drunkard for twenty-five years. The
Lord had saved him from sin and tak
en away his appetite for drink. You
couldn't argue that man out of his ex
perience If you talked seven years and
seven months. Our fathers used to
talk of "experiencing religion." We
sons of later years lengthen our ears
when we ridicule the expression.
The Unanswerable Argument.
The power of Christianity has not
been knowledge, logic or miracle, but
individuals, changed hearts and lives.
Christianity Is most of all a life. The
salt that saved the old Roman world
with all its rottenness and crumbling
civilization was Christianity. Paul
told his experiences to Agrippa. One
thing he bnew. Job says, "I know
that my Redeemer liveth." David
says. "I know that the Lord is great
above all." Martha says. "I know that
he shall rise again." Paul says, "1
know whom I have believed." Men of
one idea? Surely. But it Is such men
who have arrived at a definite some
where. Howard in prison reform,
Garrison slavery. Howe sewing ma
chine. Wesley holiness, Watt steam
engine, Stevenson locomotive. Fulton
steamboat, Columbus a new world. One
thing they knew. This blind man
hadn't much chance for knowledge.
There were no Institutions for the
blind, no raised letters, nothing but to
nit in the darkness. He didn't try to
pit his knowiedge of prophecy and the
Messiah and the legality of Sabbath
healing against the priests, but there
tvas one point where he was positive,
well educated, one thing he knew—
whereas he was bliud, he could now
see! Talk ns men will agalust Christ
•nd Christianity, but. when all Is said
»nd done, what about this blind manl
Was Probably Serious.
"I'd like to know." said the boat
swain, "whether she was striuging ins
or not."
"Who?" inquired the mate.
