} Son of the living God. A great mul
titude was before Him. They had be
held the signs which He did on then
} that were sick, whether from curl
Osity or otherwise, we cannot say
Now the passover, the feast Of the
Jews, was at hand. Jesus therefore
lifting up His eyes and seeing that
great multitude cometh unto Him
saith unto Philip, whence are we tC
buy bread that these may eat? This
He said to prove him for He Hinf-
self knew what He would do. Philip
answered him, two hundred shiI-
lings worth of bread is not suffi-
cient for them, that every one may
take little. One of His disciples,
Andrew, Simon Peters brother,
saith unto Him, There is a lad here,
who has five barley loaves and two
fish; but what are these among so
many? Jesus said, Make the people
sit down. Now there was much grass
in the place, so the men sat down,
in number about five thousand.
Jesus therefore took the loaves;
and having given thanks, He dis
tributed to them that were sat
down; likewise of the fish as much
as they would, and when they were
filled, He saith unto His disciples,
Gather up the broken pieces which
remain over, that nothing be lost,
so they gathered them up and filled
twelve baskets with broken pieces
from the five barley loaves, which
remain over to them that had eaten.
This miracle performed by Christ
should have been convincing to the
multitude present that they were
standing in the presence of One
Who was more then human. The
Master should not have been com
PEELED to tell this multitude Who
He was.
The very act which He performed
should have been convincing from
every standpoint. He also said 1 am
the bread of life, l am the living
bread which came down out of
heaven; if any man eat of this
bread, he shall live forever: Yea and
the bread which 1 will give is My
flesh, for the life of the world.
Golden Text
Jesus said unto them am the
bread Of life, he that cometh to Me
shall not hunger and he that be-
lieveth on Me shall never thirst.
John 6-35.
Mr.. McFadden, the musical direc-
tor of the instrumental class, now
being held at the public school, was
present and gave selections on the
many instruments which he plays:
Trumpet, saxaphone, sliding trOm-
bone and bass horn, all of which
were very interesting.
Morning Sermon
The pastor based his morning SER
mon on text taken from first Thes-
alonians, fifth chapter and 18th, 10th
and 18th verses: See that none rem
der evil for evil unto any man; but
ever follow that which is good, both
among yourselves and to all men.
Rejoice evermore. Pray without
ceasing. 1t was a very fine sermon.
Evening Service
The Epworth League at p. m.
was in charge of Mrs. Ida Peck who
rendered, fine program. The or
chestra composed of Miss Bessie
Warren, Thomas Baker and Junior
Timmons, violins; Charles Kohlen-
burg, trumpet, and Bartin Adkins at
the piano, also rendered some fine
music. The solo sung by Miss Rea-
trice Millman, was very good and
also the poem recited by Marguer-
ite DickersOn.
The Evening Sermon
The pastor preached one Of the !
best sermons since he has been here |
he took for his text Galatians
third chapter, first verse: 0 Foolish |
Galatians, who hath bewitched |
you that ye should not obey the
truth.
He spoke of the Galthians as be-
ing a people who had way of do
ing things themselves regardless of
consequences.
He also said that there were peo-
pie in the world today just as fool
ish as the Galatians and illustrat-
ed in many ways why they were. 1t
was such a sermon as should find
lodgment in every human heart.
Come out and hear him, You will be
amply repaid.
