summed up in John 3:16: For God SO

there are thousand and one evidences
of His loving kindness and tender mer-

not suit their plans. Sometimes they
are unwilling to do as they are told; at
other times they have not the faith to see
how the directions can be carried out.
This was the disciples difficulty. Jesus
told them to feed the multitude, and they
asked how the work could be done with
such meager supplies at hand. Jesus
shows men through his answer to this OBJ

carry out His orders for lack OF facilities
to obey If those to whom He gives
directions will put in His hands what
they have He will make it suffice.

Congress Approves Bible Printing.

For four years it was found impossl-
BILE to import single English Bible. and
so again Congress appointed committee
to devise ways and means for furnishing
the people with the lfe-giving word. Not
far from old Independence Hall, at the
Pope's Head. on Market street, three
doors above the old London Coffee House,
was the first printing press of Robert
Aiken. He had just issued the first
American Bible in the English language.
After careful investigation, the commit
tee brought in the following report, which
was adopted by Congress in 11s2: Re

How One Luncheon Fed Thousands.

Well. the lads luncheon was sufficient
Jesus told the disciples to have the people
seat themselves. Then he broke the bread
and gave it to the disciples, and they
gave to the people. Everybody ate all
he wanted, and when the meal was
over twelve great baskets were filled with
the broken pieces left over.
Then the people were permitted to go
away. OF course, they went praising
God

possibility of feeding such a multitude

having over such great quantity OF
fragments. But why should it be thought
impossible that He who could heal by L
word could do this miracle also; that He
who later rose from the dead could show
this power over nature?
The sublime story of this feeding of the
5000, which is SO like and yet SO unlike
the story of the feeding of the 1900, has
wrapped up in it some helpful lessons for
today. There is the first great lesson OF
the compassion of Jesus, already men

be a splendid one. Rev. Mr.. Hunt
preached to the congregation of the Sec

pleased with him.
The question Of calling him to the local
pastorate has been discussed Informally
several times by the officers of the
church. but as yet they have not de-
cided to call meeting of the congrega-
ton to consider the matter
1T is understood that the officials would
be glad to call the pastor at once. but it
is believed that in all probability he
would not care to give up his present
paStorate to come here. The Louisville
Church has congregation numbering
