Livinq Bread.

This conservation process was q
Stingng rcbuke to the oricntals, and Is
being emphasized in these days of food
conservation in connection with war
needs. Too long we have been prodigal
of Gods marvellous bonntics. God gives
us that we may use and we lose it un-
less it is shared. Jesus the living
bread, (Joh1 6 .iS) will satisfy hunger
and give life. AS bread generates in
the human body heat, energy, vitality
and power, so he will feed the hungry
souls of men. We have at hand the
Word. 1t Is for lack of 1t that men die
in the deepest and trucGt sense of that
Word. The poverty and pcrplcXty of
the disciples in the presence of similar
great need, is being repeated over and
over again, and vet how faithlcss II is.
We have not enough to feed the multi

the human heart; and they will have

sis is being laid on material bread for
the SuStcnancc Of the nation, there ia
great danger lest we forget the ncccs
siiy of breaking the living bread TO the
starving mutitudeS OF the world. We
must maintain the supremacy OF The
spiritual. or lack the dynamic to pro.
vide the material.

A Great Task.

John tells us Of the conversation
with Phillip. Phillip lived in Bcthsaida
nearby, but to feed this multitude was
too great task, even with his knowl-
edge and resources (John 6:5, y. Yet
we need not be surprised at Philips
SlowncSs of faith. Moses in q similar
case was once nonplusscd rs to how to
feed the thousands in the wilderness
(sce Numbers II :21 -33). The central
fact concerns neither the need nor our
poverty, but the absolute surrender of
our all-howevcr little--to God.
Another disciple. Andrew, who had
brought his brother. Simon Peter, to
the Savior, in his desperation found q
boy whose mother had thoughtfully
provided him with q lunch consisting
OF five barley biscuits and two small
dried herrings (John G:9). This is a
great commentary on the tide of inter-
est at this timc-that even this hungry
boy should have forgotten his lunch;
the circumstances emphasized the help
lcSSnesS Of the disciples in order that
Jesus might show his power. His com
mand Give We Them" (v. 37) teaches
us that we are to give what We have,
not to look to others. nor to do our
charity by proxy (pro. II :24. 25).
Again the Savior asks his disciples to
seek ". 3S) as though he would teach
them the boundlesS resources of his
kingdom. Give what YOU have and he
will bless and increase it to meet the
needs of the multitude. The secret Of
success points to the moment when he
took the loaveS and looking up Ito God
who also saw their nceds), he blessed

|H0f TOWN

COMMUNITY LIFE is BEST
Under That System Every Citizen Has
ar Equal Interest in His
Own Home Town.

Community life is the ideal life.
People have more time to spend in
and about their homes and as a re-
suit take greater interest in the de-
velopment of their immediate neigh
borhood. They are more c%ongenial and
%neighborly; they take greater pride
in keeping their homes and yards in
good condition; they are contentcd,
more progressive and incidentally
more prosperous; their children are
raised and educated in the proper
moral environment; they associate
with good companions and grow up to
be sound, healthy. clear-thinking men
and women of the type that make the
best citizens.
Much more could be said of the
community proposition, but I believe
l have said sufficient to prove beyond
a doubt that the development of COM
munities on a broad, systematic basis
will have a tendency to increase the
number of home lovers and home
owners.
Real estate companies should avoid
as much as possible the placing of a
mere allotment on the market. It
takes considerable time trouble and
money to work on the community plan,
but the results achieved make the ex-
ira effort and expense well worth
while.-Exchange.
