Mr. J. M. Cross, superintendent of j
camp No. 6, and demanded full pay to o
date for all their squad on the divis
ion. Mr. Cross explained to them ,
that the checks came on the 20th of a
each month, and that he had no a
money with which to pay them, but r
would pay all at the earliest possible (
r
moment. This did not satisfy the men, -
and they sent to Spruce Pine and se
cured several pistols, guns and other
weapons. together with a supply of y
ammunition. Monday night aboutP
6:30 o'clock, two of the agitators b
came to Mr. Cross' house at the camp,
called him out and demanded their
pay for all. While Mr. Cross attempt (
ed to explain that this was impossible ,
the spokesman seems to have given j
the signal. and his followers turned a
out from everywhere. opening fire on
U
the-camp. The railroad men were, as
usual, on their guaid. and returned t]
the fire. As the laborers were it the t
open and had no organization, and n
were very much excited. most of their 0
shots W1ent wild, but the railroad men b
b
used their guns to good effect. One v
of the agitators who made the first h
assault was shot dead in his tracks.
and several others were readily laid v
out. Mr. Cross received a severe t
burn in the face from the powder of
the guns when first fired on. Offi- G
ers have been sent to the scene, and V,
everything is now quiet. t.

ie death of John the Baptist reached
ieni they hastened to Jesus. They
iade a full report of their missionary
)ur. 31. "A desert place." Not a
indy. barren desert, but an uninhab
ed place. "Rest a while." There were
vo chief reasons for taking this
mrse. Herod might attempt to slay
esus and His disciples. The second
ason is here given. They needed rest
nd communion with God. "No leis
re." The door stood always open, as
i Eastern houses generally, for all
-ho chose to come in or leave at their
leasure. No one can do his best work
-ithout periods of rest from work. 32.
By ship." They took a boat and
iiled from Capernaum across tl" .
orthern end of the lake.
II. Jesus teaches a great multitude
's. 33, 34). 33. "The people." From
ohn 6:4 we see that the Passover was
lst at hand, and there were throngs
f people going up to Jerusalem.
Many knew Him." Because of the
iany miracles which He had wrought
rohn 6:2). The whole country was in
n agitated state. "Ran afoot." The
eople, watching the sailing of Jesus
cross the northern end of the lake,
in around the northern shore so rap
ily that they "outwent" the boat and
iet Him as He landed. "All cities."
,t this time the western and northern
ores were populous with cities and
illages.
34. "Compassion." Although weary
et Jesus was moved with pity for this
eople. He walked among them teach
ig them and healing their sick. "Not
aving a shepherd." They were desti
ite of teachers to feed, to guide, to
rotect, in a word, to shepherd them.
III. The disciples confer with Jpsus
is. 35-38).
35. "Day-far spent." Matthew.
tys "when it was evening." The
ews had two evenings. The first be
an at 3 o'clock, the second at 6
clock. This was in the afternoon.
3. "Send them away." The disciples
tlled Christ's attention to the fact
iat this was a desert place, and as
ie multiude had been there since
torning, it was time to dismiss the
)ngregation so the people could go and
uy Tictuals, lest they faint by the
,ay. Many of those present were on
ieir way to tht Passove:- and had no
Dmes near.
37. "Give ye them to eat." Jesus
'as testing iis disciples. Just before
11s He said to Philip, "Whence shall ,
'e buy bread that these may eat?"
roha 6:5). But He said this "to prove
im," for "He Himself knew what He I
-ould do" (John 6:61. Our Lord saw
lat' His apostles needed lessons in.
tith, and this miracle was as much
yr their benefit as for the benefit of
ie hungry multitude. "Two hundred
ennyworth." The penny was a silver
yin, and was worth about sixteen
ants. The value of the bread ueces
try would be, therefore, about $32.
And give them." The import of the
nestion Is, World it not be unwise to
Lke our last penny and spend for this
'arpose?
38. "How many." Jesus knew just
ie amount or food there was, but He
esired to have them find out and tell
[lm so that the miracle would make a
reater impression. "Five. andi two
shes." There were five barley loaves.
arley was their poorest food. The
>ai'es were round, flat biscuits or
mackers. The fish were small and were
ried cr pickled and eaten with bread
1:e rur sardines.
IV. The multitude fed (vs. 31-42).
3. "He commanded." Christ had fed
Jeir souls, and healed their bodies,
nd now He purposes to feed tneir bad
Is. and thus show :that He is able to
rci'ide for all their necessities. "Sit
own." They sat in ogderly ranks for
le convenient distribution of the food
nd so they could be easily numbered.
41. '-'When He had taken." Accord
ig to Matthew Jesus said, "Bring
uem hither unto Me." All must centre
Him. We may have but little, but if
'e will give the little we have to Jesus
[e will multiply it a thousandfold and
ass it back to us. and grant us the
rivilege of passing it out to the starv
ug, sin-burdened mu:'titudes. "Bless
d." .Tesus thus sets us an~ example;
re should never eat without first
banking God for our food and asking
[is blessing upon it. 42. "Were
lled." No one ever need leave Christ's
ible hungry. He is able to satisfy
very need of soul and body.
V. The fragments gathered up (vs.
3, 44-).
43. "Twelve baskets." The word
canslated "baskets" means pockets or
rallets. The twelve baskets were
robably the twelve wallets of the
postles, which they carried on their
mrneys. "Fragments." Broken pieces
rhich remained ovet'. According to.
ohn. Jesus directed thenm to gather up
de fragments, 'that nothing be lost."
Ihy were they required to gather up
de fragments? 1. It would teach -
hem a lesscn in thrift and economy.
.It would show them that the more
hey gave the more they would have.
.It would teach them that nothing
;as to be wasted that God had given.
'here is no surer way to receive the
ull sweetness and blessing of the got
el -than to carry it to some hungry
oul. 44. "Five thousand." Here is
ne miracle wrought by our Lord at
ested by 3000 men, probably 10,00o
