of self qualification, because they
lose interest in productive work and
because they incapacitate themselves
for work. The final results of such
lives may be seen in shabby clothes.

a servant is faithful and wise, he
can be trusted as judicious ruler
over the affairs of men.

wants is to find us busily engaged

That he shall make him ruler over
all his goods" The reward is not
a life of ease, but an opportunity
for larger service.

V. 81. "And she'll cut him asnn-

The common question today among
Christians is. when will this curse
Of drink end? Someone has said
when there have been 100000 fu-

heavy.
V. 26. "Jesus answered them and
said, Verify, verify, I say unto you,
We seek me, not because We saw the
miracles, but because We did eat of
the loaves and were filled" Men
ought to be condemned who live on
the level of animals-living simply
to eat and enjoy that which salts
fies physically.
v. 27. 'Labour not for the meat
which perisheth, but for the meat
which endureth unto everlasting

life, which the son of man shall give
unto you; for him hath God the
Father sealed BY giving the Son
the miracles of the previous day and
other signs to do, the Father hath
sealed or authenticated him as the
giver of that which nourisheth eter-
nal life.
V. 35. "And Jesus said unto
them, l am the bread of life; he
that cometh unto me shall never
hunger, and he that believeth on me
shall never thirst" AS food is
necessary for the physical body, so
food is necessary for the soul OF
man, Christ furnishing that food is
here called the bread of life-that
bread includes thoughts Of God,
holy desires and motives, wrought
in the soul by Gods spirit, the di-
vine grace of our Lord manifest in
redeemed life.
