HARPER f Jesus Feeds the Multitude. Lesson for February 6: Mark 6: 36-52; 8:1-10. 1 Golden Text: John 6:35. When Jesus took ship for a period of reriu in some sequestered spot on Galilee, he could not be hid. Around the sea on foot the multitude followed J.esus. Think of that multitude in need, and think of thousands in need today! Toward evening, after Jesus had preached and ministered to the people, the disciples came, askfhg Jesus to send the people away—to get food. It did not worry the disciples that several thousand might not find enough food in the villages near. Trying to “pass the buck” and shift the responsibility, they were ready tc “call it a day.” They said, “Th'' day is now far spent.” But should the disciples of. Jesus ever be ready to “call it a day” whe: there are still souls in need? When Jesus bade the disciple, feed the people, they tried t show why it could not be done It is true that five loaves ar two fishfes would not serve mar In a cafe, at a price, but in tl of Jesus they were mult tiplied endlessly. It all depen what is done with a thr v/hit has value or nr Th~rc an eld fallacy that t v and 4 wo are four. The sum cr only have real value, as the rie' kind cf thinrrs are added. Let i learn from Jesus to consecrat what we have to Him, that may be multiplied for good, an that we may find in Him or own bread cf life. Notwithstanding the miraclf they had seen, the disciples feared that night when they saw Jesus coming unto them on the water, supposing they saw f ghost. And when Jesus came intc the ship, they were “amazed.” So may our prayer be every day. “Lord, increase our faith.” NOTICE OF SALE 5TATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.
