Jesus the Bread Of Life. John s
22-4O. e.
1 find when looking up what is bes
to say as to the lesson for the abov
date that in the talk of last week
covered much that should now b
written. 1t will be recalled that Jesu
had fed the five thousand people Of
the shores OF the Sea OF Galilee. ant
that many OF them followed Him Il
another place. He reproached then
{ for their evident desire to be witt
Him, that they might again be fed
This led to the remarkable" words o.
the lesson Of today when Jesus de
clhred that He was the Bread Of Lite
and that all who comeIto Him shall
not. hunger; ana those Mo believe OF
Him shall never thirst. ts.
The lesson brings up in bold relief
the superiority of the soul over the
body. God fed the Jews In the wilder
ness from day to day, vet In the end
they all died. As loving. forgiving.
generous as was the feeding in the
desert, yet it was insignificant as be-.

ever. Without food or physical bread
the mortal man would die, likewise
without Jesus, and belief on Him.
there Is spiritual death. Now II this
is true, what kind OF men, women and
children had we ought to be-? / we'll
remember the day. when that able
minister. Dr.. senseney, in speaking
in the NJ. E. church in Denison, said
that above ones duty even to Esther

Come to think OF 1t, Rev. Senseney
came right down to facts. II our
spirits. our souls. are immortal and
must live forever, is 1t not our chief
duty to see that that soul is in right

It might be said here. that what !
am now talking about Is the most i'm
portant topic in tho world to consider.
All that has been said in this column
for year Is but chaft In comparison
with it. All would say that a man who
knew that in q few months he was to
die by sentence Of the court, who
laughed and cAroused, defiant Of the
common decencies Of life. was crazy,
