Sermon
By Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmatfe. D. D.
Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 12.—In this
sermon, a fitting close to the annual
season of hospitality and good cheer,
the preacher reminds us of the lesson
of divine generosity and sympathy
taught us hy the Master of the (Gali
lean hillside feast. The text Is John
vl. 12, ’’(lather up the fragments that
remain that nothing he lost.”
Most instructive and suggestive is
this miracle of the feeding of the 5,000.
A great throng has followed Jesus in
to the desert. They have seen the
Mind eyes opened, the leper cured, the
maniac restored, and they wonder what
he will do next. They are so absorbed
watching him and listening to him
that they forget their food, forget how
far they are away from any place
where it is soid. Jesus looks around
on the eager faces aud thinks of their
need. “Send them away to get food,”
say his disciples when he mentions
their hunger. Hut Jesus says they
are faint and many of them came from
a long distance. He Is concerned about
them. He is not like some of his fol
lowers in the present day, who think
the church has done Its whole duty
when It has looked to the spiritual
wants of the people. "Give ye them to
eat.” ho says, and out of the meager
supply of five loaves and two fishes he
makes a bountiful repast sufticient for
the whole company, and there are
twelve basketsfui remaining when all
have been sotistied. He never does
anything by halves. He gives abun
dance, and he gives it freely. As he
said about the spiritual life, “I am
come that they might have life and
that they might have it more abun
dantly.’’
Then Jesus said: “There are hun
dreds of poor people in yonder towns
of Capernaum and Magdula and Ti
berias. Let ns not waste this food.
Let us gather up all and give it to
those who would be glad to eat it.”
So the disciples went among the people
and gathered up (he wholesome bread
and fish. When ail was In, there were
twelve basketfuls. Then metbinks
Jesus arose and said: “If there are any
here who know of poor people in yon
der towns who need this food. I wish
they would come forward and take
some of this llsh and I,read to them.
God never wants us to waste that
which can sustain life and be of use to
our fellow men.”
Christ feeding the multitude upon the
hillsides fringing the sea of Galilee is
symbolical in the first place of the in
finity of God’s pardon and love. It is
symbolical of that offering which
Christ made when he gave his body
and shed his blood to redeem all who
will come to his mercy seat. When
the Jews were looking for their Mes
siah they were looking for a Hebrew
Christ. They were not looking for a
Christ to save the barbarian and the
Greek. People still make that mistake
— they are looking for a sectarian
Christ. They ate Moking for a Christ
who will come h tiding in Ids hand a
Westminster confession of faith or an
episcopalian prayer hook. Hut Jesus,
hy breaking the bread and the fishes
for all who were a hungered, prove !
that he had come as a world’s Christ
aud a world’s Saviour.
The People Did Not Come.
I once read of a family In the east
who Lad vuddenly come into great
wealth. With their money they were
able lo purchase a palace and have
scores of servants to run at theft* bid
ding. They were able to have horses
and carriages and liveried coachmen
and footmen. Hut there was one thing
they craved from their new neighbors,
and that was social recognition. So
they prepared a great banquet. They
sent their Invitations broadcast. They
did not know that the peot ie among
whom they ha*! come to live were
proud and desplred them. And when
the night of the reception arrived hard
ly one of the guests came. There was
the great mansion all lighted up.
There were the orchestra and the wait
ing servants. There was the stately
dining room with Its polished silver
and rich viands. But the rooms for
the most part were empty, and the
banquet was without any merry gnests.
That Is a symbol of the banquet which
Christ has prepared for the world. He
not only prepared a spiritual banquet
for the multitudes which sat at his
feet, but for ah those in the cities
about the sea of Galilee, and for all In
Palestine, and for all who were living
fn other lands, and for generations yet
to be born. Oh, the provision which
Jesus has made for the redemption of
the human r».ce: Could it be more uni
versal in ilb scope?
Christ hivj made provision for the re
demption of the world to the utter
most. IT’s body hn* been broken. The
virtue of his sacrifice Is enough to
cover nM the world. Could I present
to you a better symbol than the loaves
and the fishes which satisfied the mul-
titudef, and there was a surplus of
twelve basketsfui? One dark night a
half clothed girl, a terror stricken girl,
timidly kn >cked at the door of a Lon
don tn!”r!r nary.' When the door wa*
opened she said: “He you the preacher
that told us down at the mission the
other night that Jesus could save to
tile uttermost? Well, come; come
quickly. My father came bo’ne drunk
tonight and stabbed mother, and be la
In a perfect frenzy of rage. He la all
right when he la not drunk, bat h« la
drunk now, and I want Jesus to save
him.”
The missionary quickly put on his
clothes and started. There in a poor
tenement ho found the bleeding wife
lying upon a bed of straw. There was
the intoxicated husband, who had stab
bed her because she had nothing for
him lo eat. The missionary turned to
speak to the husband when the half
clad girl aid: "Don't talk to him.
Don’t talk if talking could have
saved him he would have l»een saved
long ago. You must ask Jesus to save
him, who you said could save to the
uttermost.” When the young girl
spoke the missionary said: “That is so.
Only Christ can save.” And he drop
ped down on his knees aud pleaded
with God to save the brutal father.
And < hrisr answered the prayer. As
the missionary prayed tears of remorse
rained down the father's cheeks. Yes,
Christ euine to save to the uttermost.
He made provision for the salvation of
all who would come to him and he
saved. Can you not find the symbol
in the miracle of the loaves and tishes
feeding the multitude, and also In the
tigu. > of Jesus standing at the last
supper and saying, “This is my body
broken for you?” Yea, for you.
A Temporal Feast Provided.
Hut the Christ of my text Is not only
tin* provider of a spiritual feast, but of
a temporal one as well. He cares for
the body as well as for the soul. He
is not a fanatic who expects his disci
ples to live altogether in the cloud
lands. He demands that his people
have their feet planted upon tb*. solid
earth, though their heads may be lifted
above the stars. So when Christ
knows that the multitudes have been
following him all day long, and that
there are weak women and little chil
dren there, and some tired men there,
faint from hunger, he turns to his dis
ciples aud says: "Make the multitudes
sit down. 1 must provide them some
thing to eat. We cannot scud these
people away hungry.” So the multi
tudes sit down. Then Christ begins to
break the bread and the fishes and
fowls them until they are satisfied,
and there are t\vel\e basketfuls left.
Cannot you see that this is a loving
Christ, a teiuier Christ, a sympathetic
Christ, who would not let one of his
own be in physical want?
1 believe Christ fed those multitudes
uot only to provide food for the hun
gry, but also to teach us that one of
the easiest ways to reach a sinner’s
heart Is by providing food for his
stomach. 1 have read attacks upon
Christian workers who give so much
of their time to looking after the tem
poral wants of mankind. "Preach the
word!” these critics cry. "Preach the
word! Tell men to come to Christ,
and then all will be right. Loaves of
bread and bowls of soup will not lake
the place of the bread of life.” That is
all true. But there Is no way so easy
to reach a man's heart and lay it hare
for the sowing of the gospel seed as
to look first after his temporal wants.
Suppose today 1 am a poor laborer.
Suppose I have n large family of chil
dren and a sick wife and only small
wages to feetl the hungry mouths.
Then suppose some good missionaries
come to my home and bring to my
wife certain delicacies and good warm
shoes for my babies. What is the
effect on my mind? “Why,” I say, "If
those people do ail that for me and
mine they must care for me.” Then
if those people ask me to let my chil
dren go i> tbiir ounday school do you
uot believe. I .v!ii ladly let them go?
Do you no' ’ el’ I also would glad
ly go with tV’" '•) church? If Christ
was ready to cure for the temporal
wants of t|„. rot!Htudes to whom he
was preaching the gospel, can we af
ford to ignore the temporal wants of
our fellow men by our side?
Furthermore, the church that looks
after the temporal wants of Its people
Is the surer:':-'.* :1 rpTitual church. And
the converse is r.’ro true. The church
that Is not *.-!Mirr <ocure for the tem-
noral wants of Its household of faith
is not a succeHHiul spiritual church,
and tliere is no exception to the rule.
As an illu.siraiioa I point you to the
history of the Salvation Army. The
whole cause of its marvelous success
for Christ is because Its members go
out Into the highways and the hedges
with sympath.- an 1 help. A dear friend
of mine spent n any weeks some years
ago in studvlug th's work in the great
metropolis of England, and he vividly
described their way of doing God’s
service.
Work of Salvation Army.
In the first place, they have large
halls in which on cold winter nights
they gather 1!:l* derelicts and the home
less, the outcasts, the discouraged and
the poverty sir! lien. There they serve
them bow Is of roup. While these poor
fellows were eating In one of the halls
my friend saw a great, stalwart man
ladling out the soup, while he was say
ing: “Here you are, boys. Eat all you
want. Here you will always find a
welcome. But, oh, men, why do you
not give up sin? If you would only
give up your s!:n and come to Christ
he would never allow you to be hun
gry and frlendlcHH. Look at me. I
was once just ns you fellows are. No
man ever fell io\.er into sin than I
did. Hut Clirlat took me and cleansed
me, and be has cared for me. He will
do the same for j ou if you are will
ing.” The two ♦bings seemed to go
together, the soup and the sermon,
“and,” my friend added, “I never heard
a more impressive Hermon in my life.”
Then the t..!...tlon Army leaders
took my friend into their match fac
tory. They said; “Here we provide
work for r:e:i. IT. re we teach them to
do sonietlilr?. Here they may earn
their bread and their clothes. Then
when they a*e fit we send them to our
Australian aud Canadian colonies
where they can start life anew.” Th1«
Is tiie way to preach Christ to the poor
It was Christ’s way, and it is still the
effective way. It is the way the Chris
Hon world has done and is doing to
day to the hungry In famine stricken
foreign lands In Ai..crlcn. in India. In
Russia mid in Ireland. It Ih the way
Christ's followers "«* doing among
our own helpless p »oi' lure at hic.ie.
from the Bowery mi; sion bread line
In New York, with Its thousands of
gaunt, famished men and Itoys, to the
great army of the unfortunate who
had to be fed and supported in strick
en San Francisco. Can we not feed
the hungry and eloiiie the linked and
give crutches to the lame when we are
trying to lead them to the cross?
Many men would gladly receive the
bread of life if we would first give
them a five cent loaf of wheat broa I
baked In the ove i of love. Many
would have their sins washed In the
Mood of the lamb If we would only
teach them first how to get Into a bath
tub and give them some dean linen
to dress In. You cannot separate man's
temporal needs from his spiritual
needs. The two go side by side. And
Jesus, when he saw the multitudes
ahungcred. bade tin ui sit down, and he
fed them with the five loaves and two
fishes until all were fed. and there
were twelve basketfuls loft over.
Then he said, "Gather up the frag
ments that nothing be lost.”
Helping Ou'* Enemies.
But there is another fact you must
bear well in mind. Jesus gave food to
enemies and scoffers as well as to dis
dples and friends. He did not break
a loaf of bread In half and say: “Here.
Peter, this Is for you and your wife
and her mother, and here, John, this Is
for you and your brother, and here,
Matthew, this is for you aud tho chil
dren. We must look after our own
and let others look after themselves."
No, no; that was not Christ's way. He
looked off and saw a lot of hungry peo
ple. He said: “Feed all. Some may
lie my enemies, some may be bitter
against me, but that does not matter.
Here are people In trouble, and I must
care for all alike.” My brother, Is
that the way you ami I preach the gos
pel? If we see any one In trouble,
are we willing to extend the helping
hand, no matter whether he likes or
dislikes us? Hememher, It Is the Chris
tian’s duty to help all, no matter whfT
they may lie, as long as they are In
trouble and we cun help them.
Hut, though we should help all alike,
how hard it is for some of us to ex
tend the helping hand to those who we
know hate us and are trying to under
mine our Influence. As these disciples
are carrying the bread and the fishes
I see them approach one of the treach
erous spies of the high priest. The spy
is hungry and reaches out his hand
for food. “Shall we give it to him?”
they ask. "Yes," says Christ. “But
the man Is hero simply,” they urge,
“for the purpose of getting evidence
against thee. Shall we feed our ene
mies?” “Yes,” says Christ. “If ye
love them that love you, what reward
have ye? Do not even the publicans
the same? And if ye salute your
brethren only, what do ye more than
others? Do not even the gentiles the
same?” My brother, in your Christian
work are you ready to extend the
hand of love to those who have smitten
your cheek and are ready to smite you
again and again? Remember, Christ
today bids you to love your enemies
and do good to those that despitefully
use you.
Forgiveness For Enemies.
“Oh.” says some one, “I am willing
to help my friends. I am wailn* to
help strangers. But do not put my re
ligion to such an awful tpftthnt! mu*d
help my enemies.” Yes, my friend,
that is what I am going to do. Yet nut
I, but the Christ who fed. tlr* multi
tudes. Toll me this: Could you love
Christ as the forgiver of all sins If at
that feast he had fed only Ids friends
afM let his enernlc - rve? And how
can you expect Christ to forgive you
your sins unless at the same time you
are willing to forgive those who have
trespassed against you? It Is told that
when the dauphin of France ascended
the French throne as Louis XII. he
had many enemies. lie made u list of
his enemies and placed a Mack cross
by the side of each name. When the
enemies beard what the king had dour
they fled out of tho country. But the
king sent word to them, saying: “I did
not place the black cross alongside of
your name to seal your doom, hut only
to remind me of the cross of Christ.
When I looked at this cross I could
say: ‘Christ has forgiven me my sins.
Then I must l»e willing to forgive the
sins of my enemies.* ” Oh. my broth
er, by the feast of the loaves and fishes
can you not learn the lesson of helping
your enemies us well us your friends?
Do it not only for your own sake, but
also do it for Christ’s sake.
The Weak Thing* of the World.
But there is another fact which It is
well for you to notice about this feast.
Jesus Christ, when he performs his
material and spiritual miracles, often
uses the most insignificant means. He
does not always seek the great men of
the world to achieve bis mightiest re
sults, but by the weak things of the
world God often confounds the mighty.
When the millennium comes “the wolf
shall dwell with the lamb and the leop
ard shall lie down with the kid and
the calf and the young Hon and the
falling together, and a little child shall
lead them.” Thus It is today. Some
times by the weak hand of a little
child God is leaning us to the cross.
And sometimes it is by the little work
of a child or the humble act of one of
the most insignificant people that God
is able to get hfs greatest result*.
Have you never heard the story of the
little orphan child who one cold winter
night was standing upon the street cor
ner of an eastern city? lie was look
ing for some one to come after him.
A gentleman saw this poor little rrg
ged urchin Htnnd ’ g *hi re. • Then, evt
of pity, he crossed the street and said
to the little boy: "Are you lost? Are
you expecting some one?” “Yes," an
swered the shivering child. “I am ex
pecting God to sei.il some one to look
after me. Last week my mamma died,
and Just before she died she said,
‘Charlie. God will send some one to
take care of .\ou.’ and my mamma
never Ucd. I know God will soon send
some one along.” Then the boy raised
his eyes as he said: “Mister, be you
the man God has sent? Why have
you l>eon so long coining?” Then the
gentleman said, “Yes, Charlie, God has
sent me to take you home.” As he led
the little fellow to his home that lit
tle fellow’s faith led the man to Christ.
Has It not been thus in your life? Has
It not lieen some weak, humble Chris
tian who has led you first to Christ?
And tell me. brother, if some weak
Christian has been able to do all this
for you. can you not. even in your
weakness, load some one else to the
cross?
But there is still one thought I want
you to notice about this feast. The
very disciples, the very apostles who
were to distribute the food, had no re
alization of what Christ was to do.
They did not dream that he would or
could feed that great multitude out of
a little lunch basket. But when Jesus
told them t<{ make the multitudes sit
down they obeyed his command. And
when Christ broke the bread and the
fishes they distributed them to the
hungry mouths. Is not this a lesson
for us? Let us ol*ey Christ and he
will give the blessiug. We cannot un
derstand how he will do it. That Is
not our affair. It Is for us to obey, and
he will send the increase. Shall we,
like the multitudes upon the Galilean
hillside, carry the twelve basketfuls of
fragments of our spiritual blesslugs
left over from this spiritual feast to
our friends? Shall we carry the bread
of life to our brothers and sisters, our
children and parents? Are we ready
now to become gospel evangelists, to
go forth and spread the news that
Christ is our Saviour aud that he Is
the Saviour of all who will come to
him?

When Senator Knox of Pennsylva
nia was abroad recently be was met at
the station in Paris by a member of
the American embassy. After the sen
ator and Ills friend had exchanged
greetings the diplomat remarked: “By
the way. senator, the handsomest wo
man in continental society is in the
station. Wouldn’t you like to meet
her?” “No less honored than delight
ed,” returned the senator gallantly.
Thereupon the two men crossed the
Gare du Nord and a second later the
diplomat was saying, “Countess, allow
me to present one of your distinguish
ed countrymen.” Turning, the count
ess after one quick- glance rushed to
ward the senator and, throwing her
arms about his neck, exclaimed, “Why,
Uncle Phil, you dcar»old thing, wher
ever did you come from anyway?”
It was Countess Gontaut de Biron,
who before her marriage was Martha
Leishman, daughter of the American
ambassador to Turkey. Years ago. be
fore tha Knoxes or Lelshmans became
known fto the world at largo, the two
families were near neighbors at their
homes In Pittsburg. As a short frock-
ed miss of the schoolgirl genus Martha
Leishman was a great chum of Sena
tor Knox’s only daughter, and to this
day the countess Is looked upon as a
member of the senator’s family.

Thorn D no way of making lotting
friends like "Making Good;’’ and Doctor
Pierce’s medicines well exemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades of popularity, are numbered hy
the hundreds of thousands. They hawe
"made good” and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest, square-deal medicine of
known composition is Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an im
mense sale, while - ,ost of the prepara
tions that nave come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
"gone by the board" and are never more
heard of. There must be some reason for
this long-time iopularity and that Is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given a fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and Mood affections, its supe
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence it has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of les*. meritorious
articles have suddenly Hashed into favor
for a brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
tor a torpid liver with its attendant
indigestion, dyspepsia, headaciie, per
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coatwl
tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility, nothing is so good as Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It’s
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper
— no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept a substitute that
the dealer may possibly make a little big
ger profit. Insist on your right to have
what you call for.
Don’t buy Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion expecting it to prove a "cure-all." It
is only advised for woman’s special ail
ments. It makes weak women strong and
sick women well. Less advertised than
some preparations sold for like purposes,
its sterling curative virtues still maintain
Its position in the front ranks, where it
stood over two decade^ ago. As an in
vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv
ine it is unequaled. It won’t satisfy those
who want "booze,” for there is not a drop
of alcohol in it.
Perce’s Pleasant Pellets, the origi
