Teaching and Feeding the Multitude

Jesus weary from work one day
Went with his tired disciples away
To the farther side OF Galilee,
To rest awhile across the sea;
We having reached that secluded place
There stood The throng before HE
face
Like sheep without shepherds care;
Jesus in pity taught them there.
Like the precious seed we SOW
From which the golden harvests grow,
Jesus blessed the fish and bread
And with II five thousand peopie fed,
Yea. with this little food In store,
He Increased IL more and more,
And made It reach the utmost need
The women and children too to feed.
Our hands are weak. our knowledge
small,
On him for present helm we call
tn bless ana multiply our ut ore
AS he did that food Of yore:
80 with his blessing on eur task
IN ans~er To what in fifth we ask.
TNe seed that we In weakness row
Into ri 'ened hervests will some dav
grow.

The Drearer Dea0.

You mourn for your dead; you go.
Clad in your robes Of woe.
To the spot where they sleep:
And you weep
Such bitter tears, and there
You strew flowers fresh and fair.
You place n white stone at the head.
Where, carven with sculptor's are,
We read with sorrow OF heart,
And the dear name of your dead.
But there are dearer dead; you know
Not the hitterest woe.
TILL YOU close the eager eyes
or sweet young hope. till mournfut
wise
You cross the hands Of love.
And sorrowing bend above
The ashes and dust
or honor. and truth and trust
For these are the dearest dead.
oh. these other dead. who dare
Robes Of mourning for dead hopes
wear
Who bids stone arise
tn tell where the dead love lies?
When Oil ever a mourner say
Help me to bury these dead away?
These funeral trains men do not see,
Down ~ the heart where the grave
Is made,
Where the dead is laid
No flowers are strewn there:
Hear we no moan there:
No ritual Ia said
Over their bed,
ridden from human sight,
The grave lies low.
R,st the solemn silent night.
Thet doth know:
And alone seeth the white
Face of our woe.
You are happy who mourn for your
dead !,
~ the side Of graves kept green
nv the tears You shed
Who can lean Il
Lovingly where they sleep.
Pray for those who in secret weep
The dearer dead.
