Jesus knew the need and also the
proper use Of leisure. But the multi

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

and was moved, not with sarcasm. but
with compassion, which compassion
took tangable form of service. 1t is
interesting to note In verse "a that the
compassion of Jesus led him first OF
all to teach. It 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 man Is OF
more value than his body. 1t Is not

vided him with a lunch consisting OF

We need to observe the systematic

works such miracles through human
agencies, and then giving to the peo-

cedure was that "all did eat" and
further, they were satisfied, v. ~. Not
alone, however, was there Divine or
der and lavishness, but there was
economy and thrift as well, for Jesus
gave careful directions as to the frag-
ments. The layishness is shown by
the fact that the baskets into which

PINCHOT MAKES
 SHARP ATTACK ON PRESIDENT TAFT
Special from United Press.)


 Washington, March 2S-Not since the stormy days of 1896, when the Democratic party was disrupted by the "Gold Democratic movement" have politicians been so stirred as to- day. Some leaders of the Republican organization here interpret Colonel Roosevelt's statements in Chicago, last night, that Republicans are not bound to respect a "nOmina ton secur- d by thuggery'' as meaning that if he himself is not the nominee at Chi cago he will head a third party more- ment.
 This belief, they claimed, was SUD- ported by remarkable statement is- sued, today, by Clifford Pinchot, for. rner chief forester and one of Roose- velt's field marshals
 Pinchot's statement is intended to deal with all of the points raised by friends of the President, he says.
 Tn conclusion he says:
 ''In short, should Roosevelt be grateful to Taft because he abandori- ed Roosevelt and the Roosevelt poli- cies and cast his lot with Aldrich and the machine in Rhode Island; Cam non and his machine in Illinois; Pen- rose and his machine in Pennsylva- mia; Guggenheim and his machine in Colorado; Cox and his machine in Ohio; Perrin and the South Pacific machine in California and Barnes and the New York machine, every one of whom is an enemy of popular govern ment. and every one of whom is for Taft?''
