This parable marks the high level
OF the year Of popularity in the life OF
our Lord. 1t is such an important
miracle as to be the only one recorded
by all four gospel writer's.
The returning disciples ". 800 are
urged by the Master to come with him
into a desert place that they might
rest. and also that he might comfort
their hearts over the death Of John
the Baptist. They had no leisure"
Jesus knew the need and also The
proper use of leisure. But the multi
tude would not grant this and focket
to his retreat in the desert. They saw
and followed that they might listen
| to his gracious words or behold some
new wonder, but Jesus also saw and.
ministered. v. "a. Carlisle said he saw
in England forty millions, mostly
fools" Not so with Jesus. He saw
| and was moved not with sarcasm, but
with compassion. which compassion
took a tangible form of service. 1t is
Interesting to note in verse "a that the
compassion of Jesus led him first OF
all to teach. 1t is better to teach a
man how to help himself than to help
the man. We also infer from this
verse that the soul of a man is OF
more value than his body. 1t is not
enough. however, to say. God bless

is hungry. So it is that Jesus listened
10 his diciples when they saw thu
physical need Of the multitude.

A Great Task.

St. John tells US in this connection
of the conversation with Philip. Phil
ip lived In Bethsaida near by, yet to
feed this multitude was for him too
great a task, even with his knowledge
Of the resources at hand, John 6:5-7l
Yet we need not be surprised at Phil
lps slowness of faith. Moses in like
manner was once nonplussed how TO
feed six thousand in the wilderness,

as to how great the need nor how lit

Living Bread.

The conversation process was a
singing rebuke to the improvldent
orientals, and to the present day prodi-
gals of that wonderful bounty with
which God has blessed our land.
God gives to us that We may use.
Joy dies unless 1t is shared. Jesus,

have at hand the Word; it is for lack
of it that men die in the deepest sense
of that word.
The poverty and perplexity or the
disciples in his presence and the pres

| Is absurd. We have not enough TO
feed the multitude. Our few loaves or

Editorial Comment
The Panic of 1898.
washington Evening Star,

/ ENenillS Sldi >
In one of his speeches delivered in
New Jersey last night Mr.. Wilson gave
new explanation of the panic of 1898.
He absolved the Cleveland administra-
ton from all blame, and put the re-
sponsibility ON the previous admins
tration, and the delay of the Senate
in passing the House bill repeating the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act.
In effect, he declared that the panic
was aon the way and would have ar
rived ii Gen. Harrison had been re-
elected. Can he make that good?
Undoubtedly there would have been
silver legislation and probably some
revision of the Mckinley tariff law,
under Il second Harrison administra-
ton, but the business world would not
have been much disturbed either by the
prospect or by the work when taken
in hand. The republican party was
strongly for gold, and thoroughly COM
mitted to protection. Moreover, Gen.
Harrison was in full accord with all
but the spoilsmen of his party. He had
matters in general we'll in hand, and d
panic was not on the horizon. Not even
the crystal gazers' were predicting
one.
The treuble-the panic-grew out or
tho success at the polls not of po-
litical party opposed to the republican
party. but of a loosely constructed,
heterogeneous combination represent
ing all sorts of notions and opinions.
Free traders and protectlonlsts. free
silver men and gold men, spoilsmen
and civil service refofmerS, had joined
hands under candidate nominated and
financed by large eastern money m
auences led by w. c. Whitney, ana
now stood responsible for the affairs
OF the government.
What would the combination do :
What could it do under such leader!
How could it do the fair thing by
silver" as the silver men had under
stood that promise, without rejecting
the advice of the gold men, And how
could it revise the tariff on the pfopo-
sitfon of the unconstitutionality OF
protection without alternating the large
number of democrats led by Mr.. Cor
man Who believed in protection quite
as sincerely as Gen. Harrison himself

matter the political worid-keen- scent
