the multitude was fed by the Saviour's
power. the speaker spoke of the
great need of the world as being the
bread of life. and how this hunger can
be supplied and the old world salts

be an am ba ssador for Christ and filled

thought OF an interesting ella boration.
but many lessons were deduced from
the Biblical narrative which inculcate
prayer, courage, consistency, consecra-
ton and self sacrificing service. We
