~ would she have healed it! Aye, how
gladly would she have given her ease
for its pain, her health for it's disease.
Such, only infinitely deeper, must have
been the feelings of Christ for those
afflicted ones. Deeper, because He saw
back Of all their suffering the sin from
which 1t sprang. We have seen in a
previous lesson that these healings, SO
free to the people. were not free to Him.
They were healed by the outpouring Of
the tide Of life from Himself its divine
fountain.
Because that fountain was the in
finite source of all life and health there
was no sickness that would not give
way before its inflowing. 1t was. and
Is. the unfailing remedy for every hu-
man ill. Even death yields to its di-
vine touch. In this, and in all our
studies of the life Of Christ, we should
remember that He is our exemplar. He
it SO that He is divine, and we are hui
man. The star may not shine with
the brilliancy Of the sun; but, it is ex-
pected to shine. We may not heal as
Christ healed. but in a thousand ways
we may minister to both bodies and
minds diseased. We may inspire with
hope. And the stream of our life will
grow as it is poured out upon those
who are in need.

The Multitudes Fed.
Matthew, 14:13-21, 500 :a9.


p Ohm was dead. His disciples had
performed for him the last sad
rite: and then, as there seemed
nothing else that they could do,
they went and told Jesus. The
death of John was doubtless severe
blow to our Lord. OF all men living John
best understood the Master. His disciples
were loyal, but even the most spiritual
of them were unable to comprehend either
the Master or His work. At such times
Christ longed to be alone. Not the city,
but the wilderness was His resort. There.
in communion with the Father, He was
quickly prepared for his arduous work.
But these seasons Of isolation were brief.
His work was to be for men, and so
His abode must be among them.
But this was not all of it. This is a
needy world. The story of His miracles
had spread far and wide. The multitudes.
sick, weary. disappointed, conscious of
failure, went in eager search or Him.
On coming from His desert retreat He
found a vast crowd. many of whom were
anxious to test His power to heal
Our lesson consists Of two miracles.
which, with some differences, are much
the same. 1t has been thought by some
critics that there was but one miracle.
and that the last was simply a modifica-
ton of the first. But the story as we
have 1t in the gospels is evidently cor
rect. The places are different. The cir
cumstances are not the same, and the
history demands the two. This must be
accepted or all thought Of accuracy must
be abandoned. In the study of the les
son. however it will not be necessary to
dwell upon the second miracle except to
notice the particulars in which 1t differs
from the first

Importance of Right View.

The writer would insist upon the i'm
portance Of getting a right point of view
in the study of this lesson. Without this
its greatest truths can never be grasped.
AS to the multitudes, they were doubt
less composed Of men and women Of all
grades Of faith and unfaith The major
ity of them had probably given but little
thought to tho question Of Christ and
the messiahship. He could heal the sick,
and they, or their friends. were in need;
and for them that was sufficient. Noto-
riously, the world over, there is nothing
more uncertain than the conduct of the
crowd. They will one day sing paeans
to His praise and strew their garments
in His path, and on the next they will
join with the rabble in the cry, Away
with Him! 1t Is not fit that He should
live"
But it is hot in the crowd, but in
Christ that our chief interest centers
Our lesson tells us Verse 1D that "He
was moved with compassion toward
Them" and 9:36 gives us the secret Of
it all. 1t says: when He saw the null
titudes He was moved with compassion,
because they were distressed and scat
tered as sheep not having shepherd. -
The worlds i'll and sorrow lay heavily
upon the heart of Christ. HE bore
our sorrows"

Multiplied Food.

It is important that we emphasize this
word multiply. The word means that
there was something with which to begin.
You cannot multiply nothing. How many
loaves have you? Whether five or seven.
they shall be the basis Of the feast. The
lesson is that Christ demands all that He
may give all. He asks of us nothing
more than He has given us. But He
does ask that. Let it be given to Him
without reserve. That, whatever it may
be, shall be enough with His blessing.
But there must be giving first. That
is what we forget. We wonder that our
prayers are not answered. that our stores
are not increased; but what have we
given to God? We should remember that
things are multiplied in the using. The
widows oil was multiplied. not in the
cruise, but in the pouring, and these loaves
and fishes were multiplied only in the
breaking. And so it is ever Gods mir
acles have not ceased. You go to give
bread to the hungry; somehow there
seems to be as much as when you began.
You go forth to instruct the ignorant or
to comfort the sorrowful. You pour forth
all your treasures, but they increase with
the giving. 1t is the old truth so rarely
learned. "Give and 1t shall be given YOU"
AS strength comes to the gymnast by
the exercise Of his muscles, so power to
do, to dare. to suffer in the cause Of
right comes to us by the exercise Of what

The Miracle.

It may be that it would be wise to pass
this over in silence Certainly 1t becomes
us to bow reverently before these STU
pendous evidences Of almightiness and ad-
NIT that they are beyond our compre-
hension. Still, If we may not climb to
the stars we may stand upon the noun
tain. and from there our view will be
wider than if we remained In the plain.
Let us then remember that the bread
came. first of all. from the hand of the
Master. What we glibly call nature may
more properly be called God. 1t is He,
our Lord, who causes the grain to sprout.
to shoot forth the tiny blade, to ripen
and to wave in the harvest. 1t has taken
months to complete the process from seed
TO harvest But, as was said Of Joseph
in Egypt, but with much more truth.
''Whatever is done here He is the doer
Of it," In the one case He muitiplies
the seed thirty. sixty or an hundred fold
through the slow process of vegetation;
In the other it is the work of a moment.
But behind each are infinite wisdom and
infinite power. He who can give laws
to nature who can swing the stars,
Gods great chronometer, so that they
will not vary in a million years; who
has weighed every sand grain and has
painted every flower. Why should faith
be staggered by such miracle as this,
when the same power created the worlds
and hung the earth upon nothing!
