READING FOR THE DAY.

Sunday-School Lesson for May 80, 1886.
JEsUs FEEDING FIVE THoUsAND-John vi, 1-21
Golden Text-Jesus said unto them, 1 ana the
Bread of Life.-John vi SO.
Between the last lesson and this many inn
portant events occurred not recorded by John,
rs they were already given by the other evangel-
lists, and did not need to be repeated. John the
Baptist had bean imprisoned, the Sermon on the
Mount preached. the formal selection of the
twelve apostles made many of the great mira
sles had been wrought, and several of his great
parallels had been used during the year just pre-
Vious to the miracle of the feeding of the five
thousand. 1t was the spring time of the year
indicated by the green grass), just before the
Passover, when multitudes were gathering to
90 up to the great feast. John the Baptist had
been lately beheaded, and many of them were
like sheep without o shepherd, The feeling OF
the hour, the greas opportunity now offered,
made it most fitting time to work miracle
that would lead their thoughts to the true Pass
over Lamb. to the true bread Of God, and the
many basketfuls remaining over would show
how abundantly he would supply all their
spiritual wants.
The question of Jesus, whence shall we buy
bread that these may eatl led the disciples to
consider their resources, and they seem as moth
ing compared to the increasing crowd The
weak, sad answer of the disciples, Send them
answer and the miracle of Christ whereby all
were so abundantly fed. His gospel would
surely feed the world.
PRACTICAL LESSONS.
l. Whence shall we buy bread9 The work
that Christ and Christianity has undertaken in
this world great that it constantly taxes the
faith of the church to know where the men, the
money, the forces are to come from. Every
great plan seems wild and chmerical in the be-
ginning, except to a few Of great faith. So
seemed John Wesley's plans; SO seemed to the
church the IDEA of modern missions; seems
to-day the plan of prohibition. But God for
ever surprises even his own people by the steps
of progress.
2 They distributed to the people. The bread
In their hands that they had received from Jesus
multiplied wonderfully. So the word of God is
made the bread of life to our scholars, our chill
dren and friends if we receive and impart it In
faith. Gods power makes it increase, and salts
fly, and save.
3. Gather up the fragments What possibili-
ties there are in our fragments of time. in our
little opportunities of doing good. The habit of
saving the pennies and the minutes makes finan-
cal and intellectual wealth; it has in it all posi-
bilities of moral influence and personal attain
ment.
L. Gods delays seem very long when we are
in trouble but the help always comes at just the
right time. We do rot always recognize Jesus,
the helper, in the form in which He appears.

AT the close of his sixth year as superin-
tendent of the Mary Fletcher Hospital
which ended Wednesday, DIR. \. j. Willard
retires from that responsible position
During his incumbency, the Hospital has
made large increase in its resources, tacil-
tiles, and efficiency for good. In the six
years over thousand patients have pass
ed under his care-a very large proportion
of whom have been cured or benefited :
and for the good and charitable work ac-
complished by this benefcent institution
DIR. Willard is entitled to his share of
credit and he will he held in most kindly
remembrance by hundreds of patients
who have found in him IA kind friend as
well as a good phys clan. We understand
that DR.. Willard intends to resume at
once, his general practice; and that he
proposes at an early date to carry out a
plan which he has had in mind for
some tme-to establish in this city
rest-cure for nervous nvalids on the
plan of the widely known establishment OF
DR.. Weir Mitchell of Philadelphia. For
such an institution in this region there is
distinct demand, and that this will be u
healthful and favorable location for it is
beyond doubt. DR.. Willard has made this
class of diseases a special study and with
his experience in the hospital /; his profess
sional ability; and his personal qualities
as high-minded Christian gentleman,
we cannot doubt the success of his enter
prise The trustees of the hospital at their
