Mr. Gardner on Thursday night centered his talk around tin "I was blind, now I can see." He brought out that believing is not seeing, but seeing is believing. He said that artsits do not explain, they create. A sculptor "can't you see?" creates a h tiful statue. He concluded by saying that Jesus was an artist. He created by working miracles, saying, "can't you see?" Mr. Cromer on Friday night also talked on believing. He bn what religion should mean to the modern world.
