Y. W. c. A,
Tbs goepeI meeting at the association
rooms was we'll attended. Mrs. Oliver,
of the Fret M. E. church. wac this
leader for this day. and read in John
IS 24-40 A portion OF che 35th verse
wes the principal theme: II am the
bread VI life; no that consth to Me
shall never hunger" Mrs. Oliver drew
u picture Of the indolent people of the
orient, who, eager 10 receive bread with,
out price, had taken Chriet'e marvellous
feeding of multitude as precedent,
and be found it necessary to plainly tell
.hem that His mission was not to supply
their bodily wants. hut that He came to
them as the bread wherawith their
soula ehould be nourishsd. She sSid:
"Jesna i. ready to end the hunger and
the thirst of the human eoul, He does
not do away with the innate need and
longngs of the soul for spiritual food,
but He meets the increasing requires
ments by an nnfailipg supply according
to its needB."
"Christ's grest lack in this world
wac means of expression. He had to
intensify sha language to convey to his
hearers the full meaning, and he could
go no iurthsr with this subject when he
says: He that esteth my flesh and
drinketh my blood, dwelleth In me. and
l in him."
Mrs. Oliver ssid in closing that those
who accepted Christ as the spiritual
bread, would have within them the
Same miracle or satisfaction that he
had performed when he fed and satia'
fed the multitude with earthly food.
No matter how sinful soul had been.
if it WAS truly penitsnt Christ would
pardon and feed with needed food from
day to day.
