TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUCTIoN.-lti is fact having important
bearings on our subject that the disciples, BY gen
eral concession Of scholars, knew nothing of what
we know as the technical miracle. 1t was the COM
mon Jewish thought that all things which occur ex
press the immediate will of God and are therefore
miraculous,-that is, signs of Gods presence.-AI
the evangelists narrate the of the Great
Banquet. 1t was undoubtedly to them sign of the
spiritual power of Jesus. But they did not attempt
to give any explanation of the method of the occur
renee. Such an explanation we, because of our
changed viewpoint and larger knowledge of nature
need.
% v.s3-36. We find Jesus endeavoring to
calm rather than increase the popular excitement.
The people seek for Jesus as their earthly Lead
err and physical Healer He seeks to lead them into
the Inner Kingdom and increase their inner life
The richest of our experiences may in the after
view be found to have been in the desertplaces of
Ife-The compassion of Jesus on the multitude
is the compassion of which we may all now take
share.
o. Vs. 50. The meagre supply of means to
meet existing needs is always Encouragement to
short-sghted vision.-How can we, with our linn
itations convert the world to the full acknowledge
ment of the Human Brotherhood yet to freely
use the means have, and fearlessly give accord
ing to the measure of our ability, may be the best
way even for our own sakes.-The disciples evil

two fishes.

NEST BUILDING CHEIROGALES.

/ There are certain queer little animals
in Madagascar that have most curious
habit. We know that in our own coun-
try, insects, frogs, and reptiles, besides
several kinds of mammals. such as wood
chucks and bats, and even bears, hide
away iu secret places and go to sleep for
days and weeks and months, until the
warm sun of the springtime awakens
them again to life and motion. They
take their winter sleep like the water
rat:
when the cold winter comes,
And the water plants die,
And his little brook yields him
No further supply.
Down into his burrow
He cozily creeps.
And through the long winter time
Quietly Sleeps
But in Madagascar there is no winter
time. The weather there is always
warm, and yet these little bushy-tailed
things go off TO a nicely built nest OF
leaves, and sleep for weeks, while other
animals are sporting around them.
Why some animals should do this and
others not, why some should sleep in the
summer time, when food is to be had in
plenty all around them, and others in
the winter, no one has ever been able to
find out. Some alternating animals
awake now and then and take food, but
others get quieter and quieter, the
breathing becomes slower and slower,
and the heat of the body is lessened. be-
cause the heart beats more feebly as well
as not SO fast as at other times. When
in this state the creature takes no food;
but having become nice and fat before
going to sleep, it gradually gets lean, and
wastes slowly away until it awakens.
Some kinds of animals. such as many of
the bats, if they are awakened before
the natural ending of their Information
las their winter sleep is called), will die.
Now, during part of the year, the
little cheirogales of Madagascar get fat,
and their fine, bushy tails attain most
dignifed size; they then retire for their
summer sleep, during which they grow
thinner and thinner, and finally come
forth SO thin and worthless looking, and
with such miserable vestiges of tails
that no one would take them for the
plump little bodies that built and occu-
pied the big nest where they slept.
Their sleepy time is during the hot
and dry season, which answers to our
winter, and they wake and fatten up
when the warm rains bring everything
to life again.
The little bushtails. or cheirogales,
are only four inches long, though their
tails are good six inches
They are true nest builders. making
their nests as large as those of crows,
and constructing them of interlaced
twigs and leaves, in the midst of which
there is place followed out, and lined
with soft fur, for the young Our An
insal Friends.

COLUMBUS COMMISSION.

The first title to the New World, next
to the Declaration of Independence, is
the most celebrated original manuscript
in existence in political sense, at least.
This famous manuscript is the commits
sion signed by King Ferdinand ard
Queen Isabella, appointing Christopher
Columbus Admiral of his famous feet
and Governor of all the lands he should
discover. 1t is owned by the great AID
miral's lineal descendant, the Duke of
Veragua, and was by him exhibited at
Chicago in 1898, where, doubtless, mary
saw it in the Convent OF La Rabida.
This commission is written in very
fine and very quaint hand, still preserved
with remarkable clearness. upon parch-
ment that is IA by 20 inches in size, the
lines going lengthwise of the sheet. 1t
is without fold and the royal sigma
lures are SO close to the body of the text
as to be with difficulty distinguished
from it. There is no Introductory line,
such as one usually finds at the head of
state papers.
1t begins, however, much as the Iro
CARNATIONS of the present day, showing
that we borrowed our formula for tie
Presidential proclamation from the same
nation that gave us name for our unit
of money. The parchment of this Co
lumbus commission is now quite yellow,
though well preserved. Indeed, it is
better preserved than our own Declara-
ton of Independence, which it made
possible, and which it antedates by 294
years. -Harper'S YOMnd PeODLe
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-01-05

The plain facts suggest another explana-
ton. The multitude must have been in a
state of spiritual exaltation. Jesus had
preached to them. God through the Mas
ter's prayer had spoken to them. All had
beheld Jesus contribute bis own food and
that of his disciples to the common feast
Is it not in accordance with the better hui
man nature, even common human nature,
that under such circumstances those who
had food, notably the Passover pilgrims,
should freely give to those who had none
Is it unreasonable to think that the multi
tude was, in some unusual sense, conscious
of feeding at the Fathers table, and even
that physical hunger was in the spiritual
plenty for the time forgotten.
This explains the marvel; it does not
explain it away Its full spiritual import
remains.
1t was, in the view of it here given,
unique feast which was SO far as we know
without precedent; and we cannot recall,
save in a subsequent scene of the Mas
ter's life, any successor. That such a
Banquet should have impressed itself upon
the memories of all the evangelists,
that this should be the one marvel to them
so significant that no one omits to record
it,-seems to us what we should under the
circumstances expect.
The Great Banquet, the five thousand
men and many women and children fed on
the grassy plain,-was the result of the
Masters influence on the souls of the null
titude. This clue Of explanation accords
with the essential narrative, and with the
integrity Of God in nature, and with the
laws of human bought.
