A ND this lad of our text grew to be
| "A a man. no doubt. Audit is not hard
TO tell what kind of a man he made.
Did you ever see sturdy young oak
ltree turn out to be a gnarled briar
bush when grown? Did you ever see
a wheat field turn to useless tares, as
it developed into maturity? Did you
ever see a brave-hearted, clean-lfved
boy. who lived near Jesus, grow up
to be wicked, bad man? It's the boy
that makes the man. 1t is the rule
that the good boy makes the good man,
and the bad boy the bad man. There
are exceptions, of course, in both di-
rections. But it is almost inevitably
the case that what the boy is to-day
the man will be tomorrow. So it is
safe to conclude that our lad became
good and useful CITIZEN. He did not
become a Peter or a Paul, occupying a
prominent place in the service of God.
Scripture never refers to him again
that we know of. But we know he was
not idle in the service of his Master,
Whom he helped on the mountain side
that day to confer such blessing upon
that vast multitude of people. During
the year following the incident of our
text, tidings came to the Galilean home
of our little lad from Jerusalem of
the tragic events there; of the arrest,
trial and crucifixion of Jesus. And
years later, when the deadly persecu-
ton settled about the disciples al Je-
rusalem, and they were driven out into
Samaria and Galilee. he learned the
full meaning of Jesus death, and His
glorious resurrection. Perhaps dur
ing these years a sadness at the fate
of Jesus, the wonderful miracle work
er, had rested upon his heart, but
when the Scriptures were opened up
to him, and he came to know that Jesus
must needs have suffered, and died,
and risen again, and entered into glory,
light broke in upon his soul. A lively
hope was kindled within his breast as
he came to know that Jesus was not
dead, but living, and working nightly
through His disciples. A new pur-
pose stirred within his heart. He be-
gan to understand the spiritual mean
ing of the feeding of the multitude and
the declaration of Jesus that He was
the Bread of Life, and he went out to
help spread the glad Gospel story.
Thus did the service of his youth
strengthen and equip him for fuller
and better service IN his maturer years,
and so will it ever be. The faithful
ness, and kindly, generous service of
childhood will as surely become the
medium of better, truer, fuller living
when youth has given place to man
hood. Here is the lesson of hopeful
II
surely the years which are ahead will
bear the impress of the thought and
deed of to-day. Let our little lad
come close to us on this, our Children's
Day, and teach US his lessons.

i A prominent club woman, z
hrs. Danforth, of St. Joseph,
Mich, tells how she was cured
Of falling Of the womb and it's
accompanying pains.
"Life looks dark indeed when a
woman feels that her strength is sap
ping away and she has no hopes of
ever being restored. Such was my
feeling a few months ago when 1
was advised that my poor health was
caused by prolapsus or falling of the
womb. The words sounded like a
knell to me, I felt that my sun had set
but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound came to me as an
elixir of life; it restored the lost
forces and built me up until my good
health returned to me. For four
months took the medicine daily and
each dose added health and strength.
I am so thankful for the help 1
obtained through its use."- Mrs.

T. O-DAY is being celebrated in the
| Sunday schools all over this land as
Children's Day. The tread of chill
dren's feet is heard. and their story
is told in song and verse. Songblrds
and flowers lend their music and fra
GRANGE to the day. Everything speaks
of that charming freshness and beau
ty whichis inseparable from childhood.
And because it is Children's Day it is
but fitting that we should speak for
the children and of the children. We
want to tell the story of little lad
whose pathway crossed that which
Jesus was travelling, and whose simple
deed has lived in the sacred pages of
Gods word to this day. Only one little
verse is devoted to his biography. We
do not know his name. Scripture does
not tell us anything about his home or
his parents. We have only thirteen lit
tie words. most of them of one syllable,
TO tell US about this lad, and they simply
state that he was near Jesus, and had
in his bag, or pouch. five little round
cakes and two small dried fishes. And
yet by reading between the lines we
may know much concerning him, and
learn many lessons.

e CRIPTURE does not give US the
y name of the boy. 1t may have been
known to the disciples. 1t certainly
was to Jesus. 1t is known and record
ed in Heaven. But when the Holy
Spirit guided the pen of John the name
was left out and we only know the lad
by the part which he had in this won
derful miracle which Jesus performed.
The important thing was the charac-
ter and life and deeds, and not the
name. These are what God always
looks at. He weighs what boy or girl
is, and not what he or she may be
called. Family names go long way
toward gaining favor and place for
one among men, but the eye of God
can look right through that name you
bear and discover just what kind Of a

FIRST of all, we want to learn all we
| can about the incidents and circum-
stances connected with the lad as he
is introduced to us by our text.
Jesus has been performing many mir
acles at Capernaum, and in the region
round about. All, how many homes He
frightened, sobs were turned to songs
of Joy, tears were wiped away, and
smiles brought to faces that were dis
tOrted with pain and trouble. Into
every home where Jesus went there
change was wrought. And tits SO even
to-day. The homes where Jesus is
invited in as guest, and where He
rules in the hearts of those dwelling
there, discord, and unhappiness, and
trouble have to flee away. And be-
cause Jesus did so much good, as
He Travelled through Galilee and Caper-
naum great crowds followed Him.
But il panied Jesus to know that it
was curiosity, and not faith, which
brought most of the people to Him,
and so He withdrew with His disciples
into a mountain on the other side of
the lake across from Capernaum. But
the eager, eXpectant crowds sought
Him out, travelling the long, weary
way around the shore of the lake. And
when Jesus saw them He began to
question the disciples as to how
they were to be fed in that will
derness place, ''for He Himself
knew what He would do 1t is
at this point that Andrew speaks up
and directs attention to this lad, who
has the five barley loaves and two
small fishes. Some day when 1 reach
my eternal home in the Heavenly City
1 expect to meet this lad, and hear
from his own lips all this wonderful
story. 1t may be your privilege, as
well as mine, if you are trusting in
Jesus for salvation. But let us>not be
content TO wait until then to learn
some of the lessons which he may
teach US.

PUT there is something else about
II this lad which attracts ur/atten-
ton. Andrew says to Jesus: There
is a lad HERE" He was a lad who
could be found. He was near Jesus.
I wonder what his playmates were
doing at this time. 1 wonder if it
didn't take a good deal of moral
courage for him to leave his play and
follow Jesus! I wonder if they didn't
try to poke fun at him for wanting
to go to the Sunday school and preach
ing service and prayer meeting where
Jesus was! They do to-day. don't
they? He might have stayed behind
and divided up his cakes and fish with

and he was left to his own devices IN the
securing of new trial from the court OF
appeals on technical grounds. His power
full principals have never lifted a finger
in his behalf.
= Tamfnany is in fair way to be convicted
Of rank ingratitude toward its henchmen.
Here is Bissert .'suuealing" on his pals and
putting them in direct line with the peni-
tentiaFy because they abandoned him when
his usefulness was ended. Out of prison but
in deep political distress is Devery, one Of
the VIGOROUSLY higher up police authori-
ties, but not of the highest rank Of grafters.
He served Tammany faithfully and well for
years and fattened other purses than his
own. and played the game to the limit. As
soon as he was relieved from Official thral-
dom he became fired by political ambition
and he had every reason to expect support
and countenance from his former employers
and hackers. But they were through with
him. Devery as police chief, bluff. course,
factIess and brutal. made an ideal officer
for, their ends but Devery as a political
leader was impossible. The qualities which
endeared him to the Tammany powers as an
officer-Mayor Van Wyck called him the
"best chief of police New York ever had
were disagreeable to those same powers In
the political arena. Devery had done his
work and had been paid for 1t, just as Bis
sert had done hts work and had been per-
nlftted to keep part of the piekings. They
must take their chances with the law and
the machine when their careers as grafters
are ended. There is no reward in the Tam
many hereafter
