The Feeding of Five Thousand.

The Feeding OF Five Thousand
Crucial times had come. John Baptist
was martyred.
At a drunken monareh's call,
At a dancing womnn's beck,
They had severed the stubborn neck.
Prudence suggested retirement. Wear
mess demanded H. The retreat would
also afford the apostles an opportunity
to report more infinitely to the Master
the experiences OF their trial trip, two
and two, through Galllee, from which
they had Just returned. So the boat
which had been chartered for Jesus,
and waited upon him" was employed
to put the weary toilers beyond the
reach OF the nlultltudeS that pressed
upon them, even at meal times. '
Head winds probably drove the little
bark near shore, and retarded It's pro-
gross. ClandestIne as the departure
had been, It failed Of It's purpose. An
ever-augmcntIng throng hurried around
the head OF the lake, and probably APP
prlsed some pilgrim caravans to the
Passover of the coming OF the great
Nasarene. So. when Jesus boat ran It's
keel upon the pebbly shore, there stood
five thousand men, not to mention the
women and children. - So, far from
being irritated by this foiling of his
plans, Jesus heart was touched TO pity
at the sight of the shepherdless flock,
and he began at once to Instruct them

in their hlgh-cOlored garments, like YER
