who pioposed to send them away to tho
villages for food, (Mark vl: 3.V3G) while
Jes'us offered to feed them out of their
own scanty store. Turning to Philip
He deslied to know where hi cad might
be bought, that plain practical man
like Peter being well nualllled to be a
quartermaster, (v r ) The luqtilij
however, was not Intended to elicit In
formation concerning the maiket, but
to test the faith ot the disciples, for
Jesus had alieady touued a benevolent
purpose, (v. l!) which did not depend
on human supplies. Philip did not
know the leal pm pose of our Lord's

GATIinnni). Theie must have been
a constant and Increasing surprise In
tho minds of tho npostlcH who witness
ed nnd even nsslsted the distribution of
food on that occasion. How nnd where
the multiplication occtiriod no one
knows whether in the hands of Jesus
or of His helpers docs not matter. The
last man's hunger was fully satisfied
Hut u greater wonder remnlned. (V. Hi )
Jesus ordeied the gathering up of the
fragments, showing that theie had
been no parsimony the supplies had
been dealt out with n lavish hand. How
strange that there should be a suiplus'
It was If possible a greater marvel than
that there should have been onoiigh.
The upostles went forth, each with a
basket and each l etui tied with his
basket full. (V. 13) Two ends weiei
gained by this collection. Theie wax
a lesson In economy which Jesus sought
to enfotce In the order given, (Luke '
.v; 13) and there was alo a fuller con
tinuation of the miracle. How lematk
able that what they brought in wax
mm ! than what they can led out' (1
Kings xvll- lfi.)
CONPHSSHI) It was a mmpaiij of
plain men that followed Jesus from '
plaie to place Pnllke the Jealous and
scowling pi tests Ihey were open-hearted
and unprcjullced. They welcomed
the words of tmtb spoken In tlnlr
hearing, (Mink xll 37) and they wit
nexsed the deeds ot powei, not onlv
with wonder, but with i onvletloti that
was stiptigthened as- the das passed.
Hence the feeding of live thousand UK u
with a few loaves and fishes, so unlike
all foi met miracles, diew out a noble
i onfesslon (V. 14.) Thev turned fiom
one to another and spoke with evident
satisfaction, agreeing In their test!- i

CON'OIfrSION1. The human mind
seldom perceives the tiuth pine nnd
simple, (ienerally something of etror Is
mixed with it, and that eiror Is not
easily eliminated. Revolutions1 in the
state and agitations and seisms in the
church have been cuused by this unlor
tunate adinWtuie of truth and eiroi.
It was so on this occasion. One might
have thought a gieat advance in the
ause of Chi 1st had been seemed
w hen the confession wan made. Hut
not so. The men who admitted Him
to be the expected piophet or Messiah
had false notions of the character of
that Messiah, They supposed that he
would be a tenipoi.il piinie, and would
set up a. government, restoilng sovet
eignlty to tho Jewish nation and cast
ing off the Homan yoke. Hence they
attempted to make Jesus' king, (v. 13)
and, had they been enrouiaged, they
would have followed Him with shou's
to Jeiusalem. But the Lonl wlthdievv
and went alone Into a mountain. Alas,
the blind had seen the deeds but their
sight was depi a veil and they saw not
