would not seek the boulevards where the few rich live to the neglect of the alleys where the many poor swarm one of the saddest features of modern church life is the way in which it forsakes tint

flood thi m but the applicants for the opportun ities to preach to the multitude upon tiie streets are not numerous cnottg to bother anyone it was several hours ns we learn by a comparison of the accounts before this crowd would need feeding but jebus con siders their coming need at once and sets his disciples to considering it he takes it for granted that they ate to eat with him philip was

a moment ventured a sug gestion that there was a little boy present with five loaves and two little tlsh but he was at once frightened at the apparent absurdity of his sug gestion and blurted out but what are they among mi many jno 6 8 9 but they proved to be quite suf ficient among u many for the lord himself took these insignificant thine into ills own hands and multiplied them we often are tempted to say of our insignificant gifts and possess ions but what are these sufficient jesus replies if ou will only put them into my hand the lad who had come along with his five cheap barley crackers and two little salt rlii played a great part in that days working jesus took turn into partnership with himself and jesus and he fed the multitude jesus left ills question to work all b day in the minds of andrew and philip he himself knew what he would do he always does as evening drew on the disciples had not yet settled the hard problem and came to jesus and told him that he had better send the people away for they certainly round not entertain them they gave it up then jesus came to the rescue matt 14 15 luke 9 12 mk 6- 3s ii the eversufficient and all- sufficient lord jesus
