ELLIS. (Being the story of the Feed- ing of the Five Thousand as it may have been told long after- ward by the small boy in the case). Mother thought I was going flsk- ing, and so did I. She gave me a good lunch for my wallet--five of her barley cakes, which shé cooks petter than any woman in our part of Capernaum, -- and, as savory, two of the little salted fishes that father loves. It was mid-morfilng pefore : 1 got through with my chores, and started for the bank of the lake, about two miles east of town, where I have always had fuck. 'There the trees hide a deep little cove from the sight of the road, so that people don't bother a fellow with questions just when the fish are biting. But I never wet a line that day. The road was filled with folks, all hurrying toward the east. This was strange, for it was Passover time, and usually the crowds were travelling the other way, bound for Jerusalem. I knew many Caper- paum faces in the throng, but most of them were strangers, who had for some reason turned back. I soon learned why. "The Nazarene is Lake.."" "Yonder is his boat!" - "We shall miss him if'we do no hurry." So ran the talk. Everybody seemed excited. Out on the lake a whole fleet of boats were headed toward the hills on the northeast. In the leading boat, I Tr Zehedee's sons, who live om our street: and in the stern I thought I saw the Nazarene Rabbi, who has brought great crowds to our neigh- borhood where his home les, fairly turning Capernaum upside down. ; pa Naturally, when there is some excitement afoot a boy is not going to miss it. I soon forgot all about my fishing plans, and went hurry- ing forward as though I had never seen Jesus jot Nazareth before: al- though he was one of our neighbors. Our section of the crowd, still talk- ing about the miracles that Jesus had been doing, reached the shore before the boats landed, for the wind had been from the east, 1 think Jesus was at first disap- pointed to find us Wwalth for him. crossing the He never liked crowds, although he spent so much time with them, for he was a solitary man. As he leap- ed from the boat, he made off toward the east, and up a hill, as if he had formed a plan. The crowd were at his heels, close after the dozen special friends who always kept company with' him. I tell you, it was a rare sight, that great crowd of people, sweating and puffing up the hill to be near Jesus. Some were lame and blind and sick, with friends assist- ing them. I couldn't help telling some dignified pilgrims froti Decap- olls, what I knew about Jesus, my fellow townsman; and [ felt pretty big when Andrew and Peter and the Zebedee sons, recognized me and spoke to me. ; Andrew was my favorite, for he was so friendly with boys, although a quiet man. I told him, while the crowd was getting settled, that I had started out to spend the day fishing, and showed him my lunch, Well, I soon forgot about lunch. For Jesus, sitting up there on the hillside above us, cured so many cripples and sick persons, and talk- ed so wonderfully, that we all lost thought of time and of food and of everything else but his words and wonderful doings, Even I could un- derstand him; for he told so many stories to make his meaning clear. It did not seem at all like a syna- gogue service; and yet, if you know what I mean, it was more religious than a synagogue. Jesus' great idea was that God is like a father; and so we should be children worthy of him. . . He talked until the sun was lev- el in his eyes as it dropped over the Galilean hills. Soon the disciples began to worry about how the peo- ple were to be fed. Then, in his wonderful way, for he was as thoughtful about people's ordinary needs as my mother is about my food and clothes, Jesus reminded his helpers -- you see, I was close up front, sitting beside Andrew, and so 1 © everything--that the hun- gry crowd should be fed right where they were.

Still, IT had sense enough to open my knapsack, and hand to Andrew the lunch which mother had put up for me that morning, and which I had forgotten all about because I had been so interested in what Jesus was saying and doing.

With no food in sight except my five it~ tle flat cakes, a mere handful, and the two tiny appetizers on top, they acted as If a banquet had been pro- vided. It was a way of reassur- ance that Jesus had with him. I cannot tell how the wonder was wrought, or how my tiny store of food was multiplied. In the hands of Jesus, the food seemed to grow no less, as he broke and broke off por- tions for the disciples to carry about to the hungry mob. Again and again the twelve came back for more and there was always plenty. Every-] body had his fill--and some of that rabble had not before known full stomachs for many a day. It was a feast to talk about as long as one lived; and every morsel tasted like the original barley cakes my mother bad baked that morning!
