THE CLAIMS OF THE CROWD The International Sunday School Lesson For March 4 Is, "Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand."—John 6:1-14. As new aa the latest diplomatic de velopments of. the war and us old as the Christian Scriptures, is the in escapable question, "What are you go ing to do with the crowds?" For a good many milleniums the answer has been that of snobbishness and aris tocracy, so well expressed by the Phar isees who scorned /esus and his fol lowing of common people, "This mul -.iude is accursed." Tlie bib crowds have been but material for kings and supcrnen to work upon, throughout most of the long reach of history. Old phltosophers spoke of the rabble with contempt, eten as do cer tain supercilious writers and speakers in our own day. , Not so Jesus, the Great Democrat. He lived and worked with the com mon people. He gave the best of his teaching to tiem. The grime and sweat of the toilers were more famil iar to him thai the exquisite perfumes •which burdend the air of the homes of the rich of his time. All that Jesus did and taug£ looked for its fulfill ment to the hew purftoses that shpuld be established in the hearts of the great mass of mankind. A key word, ■which unlocl® the life and thought of Jesus, is this: "Seeing the multi tudes he had compassion on them." That is a true miniature portrait of the heart of Jesus Christ. Ho recog nized the cltims of the crowd. The common peple had a right to his best. All that he could command of the resource of heaven and earth was at the disposal of the multitude, which had no standing with the aris tocracy of his time. Although he touched the life at all levels, and num bered the rich and noble among his friends, Jesus undeniably gave of his best to thoie who had the least. It is his spirit and his example which have established the •common people upon theii new plane. All the surg ing social consciousness of our time, all the triumphant emergence of dem ocracy, ar owing to the Workingman of Nazareth, who is to-day acclaimed first of all the world's teachers and leaders. The Struggle For Bread Of the many economic qquestions in ~ our own da. - the high coSt of living is the most absorbing. No other ma terial "issue so closely touches all the people. In all time this has been mankind's first concern. So there is meaning in the fact thjit the one mira cle of Jesus which is recorded by all four Gospels, and the one which was most determinative of the popular at titude toward • him, is the miracle of the loaves and .the fishes. Next to the raising of Lazarus, this was the Mas ter's greatest 'Sign." Written large upon the surfade of this lesson is the truth thdt Jesvs cares for the every day affairs o.' mankind. He who taught us to ptey for our daily bread is still solicitovs for the material well being of Dr. Maltbie D. Babcock once wrote a "Daily Bread poem that relates our everyday sub sistence to :he eternal purposes of God. "Back of the loaf Is the snowy flour, Back of the flour the mill; Back of the mill the field and the shower, The sun and Our Father's will." If God iA interested in anything < about man, it must necessarily bo in those things which touch the life of the people dost closely. Everybody has to lean cn "the staff of life." No degree of spiritual devotion can free us from the necessity to partake of daily food. Most of the problems that concern hunanity are intimately re lated to the provision for the needs of the body. It is a r?al comfort to find that the Saviour took thought for this commonest of concerns of life. He not only caied for the crowds, but he ; also cared that they should not go hungry. If- He were ullve to-day, in, the midst of -our social unrest, he; would not merely preach contentment with one's lot; he would seek to pro- > vide the needy with bread. We are fol- ] lowing in the train of Jesus when we address ourselves to the problems of poverty. I Sought Solicitude: Fount Crowds Fine spirits incline to select com pany and seclusion; they shun the rab ble. Jesus lived ever amidst the mul- j titudes. He regarded the claims of ; the common folk up*n Him as sacred. } In the present lesson we find the [ Master, deeply move 4 hj the news of j the death of John th 4 Baptist, seeking! seclusion on the eastert shore of the I Lake of Galilee. But He could not be hid. With never a shade of annoyance He gave up His own cherished plan,; and addressed Himself to the needs of the people. People w;tft wants could i command His servltes at any hour of I the day or night. He was the Good) Physician. Because it was Paisover time the i country was astir vith people. Those | of us who have bn in Syria at the j season of the annual Moslem age to Mecca can iinderstand how | every center of the Hnd was crowded j with eager folk, ale* for every new J thing. All Jewry hid by this time | heard of the new Wonder-worker. So ; the throngs sought rtm.out .wherever i He was. And with tie heedlessness of i a crowd, they took litle thought of the | passage of time, or of the distance j their wanderings d led them from j the food bazars. / Thus we have flie setting of the story: an uninhabited bit of country, a multitude of piople hanging upon the words of Chrfct, and so interested in the sermon tl#t they forgot about their meals—whph is rather in con trast to the way/many a housewife is heedless of the ifrmon, from thinking about the SuncU*' dinner. Now some preachers woultfhave been above con cern about food'for that motley com pany. Not so Jfsus. We are not told His sermon, but we are shown His so licitude that tht people should be fed. A Batyl Businessman "Send the Multitude away," said the disciples, as twv saw the problem that had arisen. Tlat is the commonest of all ways to leal with difficulties— dodge them. What the followers thought was nine of their business the Master acceptld as His responsibility. Pid Jesus smii to Himself at the petty prudence anc",fear of His friends? Would they learn the greatness of His resources? So to test Philip, the canny, cajtlous businessman of the crowd, he Isked, "Whence shall we buy bread, thit these may eat?" Be sure thafthis "practical" disciple has figured tie matter all out. He knew to a pennyworth what it would cost to give tHs host even a little food, and It was ttore than the combined resources of jhe>Jesus company. Ah, ye prudent ckirchmen, who are so so licitous over ihe money affairs of the church, and tho measure a year's suc cess by the !*se of the cash gifts, con well the factthat the height of their power and pnsperity the Lord and His followers d<rnot have money enough to provide i church supper for the congregatioi. / As Dr. Tares? sfeys, "Philip Is quite a typical chi*cn treasurer: he believed in. carrying on tje Lord's work on strictly bushes* principles." His cal culating car-fulness, however, ignored the oxhaußtbU source of supply which lay In thi -mraiter and power of Jesus hlmsdf. Philip was scared by ths magnitude of the responsibility, fofgettlng the ,moment Whose servant Jre w.

Ellis the nearness and might of Christ him self. A Boy—Plus. A boy is always plus. Wise Andrew, he with a genius for finding folk, had discovered in the big crowd a boy, plus live barley loaves and two small fishes. It was only a boy's lunch and not a very big lunch at that. That it had lasted until eventide is the most elo quent of commentaries upon the ab sorbing character of the Lord's words and works. Imagine a boy forgetting to eat. And the boy was willing to Bhare, which is fine contrast to the disciples, who had wanted to send the people away. This story is crowded with a needed lesson for our time upon hos pitality. Jesus, true oriental that he was, wanted the company to be His guests. He never violated the un written law of the sharing of bread. Many persons report that the habit of hospitality is dying out in this busy western world. A friend told me the other day that she had been a member of a home for a year, and In all that time the family, cultivated persons, had not entertained guests more than thrice. What we miss when we fail to show hospitality is beyond imagina tion. Fewer formal dinner parties, and more sharing of our life and our home and our daily bread is surely one of the day's needs. I have at times tried to imagine this entire scene from the standpoint of the boy what he saw and heard and thought. An alert teacher may present this entire lesson as a story, told by the boy in the first per son, as he related it afterwards to his mother. Imagine the wonder and pride that his little portion—five flat barley cakes, with two small salt fish for relish—had grown under the Saviour's blessing into a feast fof'five thousand. Thus does the Master take what we have, the littles of our lives, and transform it into greatness. Nothing that we possess comes to its full power until it has been made over to Christ. The Wonder Wrought. John's pet word for such wonders as this increase of the lad's little por tion of food into more than enough for five thousand men, is "signs." Our modern rendering might be "adver tisements." These works told the character of the Worker. They were "signs" of the supernatural character of our Lord. Of course—and here is where many stumble—Jesus himself was a greater miracle than any of His works. Believe in Christ as God and there is no difficulty in the lesser miracles. "Admit the existence of a Deity and the possibility of a miracle is a natural consequence." The poet Young wrote: "Admit a God—that mystery supreme! That Cause uncaused! all other won ders cease: Nothing is marvelous for Him to do. Deny Him —all is mystery besides." Many are the definitions of miracle: and we pause to recall a few of them in the presence of this one, 'done at a strategic time and place. In the pres ence of many and irrefutable wit nesses. and of a nature which so im pressed the people that they wanted to make the Miracle-Worker their king. Dr. McCosh wrote that a mir acle is "A work wrought by a Divine nower for a Divine purpose by means Beyond the reach of man." St. Augus tine called it "What God performs out of the usual course of nature as It is known to us." A miracle is a new effect produced by a new cause, and that cause the- will of God," says Dr. A. Smythe Palmer, who adds, "In the Divine economy a miracle is a sum mons to attention, a signal that He who all along has been acting unseen The Store They All CANDY Saturday Specials at Specials on Cough, Patronize eoc Maybeiie cherries, Cold 311(1 Grippe and Cut Prices Handy Household 80c Bassanio Choco- gg c RcltlCdiCS PILLS a t lates M 1/ X 50c ~,n ex 20c 50c 1)0n,,s Ki<ln<, y PlUs 33c 50c Ladv Grav Assort- OH wiSm - 5c Hill's Cascara Quinine .... 15c 25c Uurkhart's Vcg.

He cannot help him self, any more than the spring can help flowing or the light keep from shining. The ideal Christian cannot keep from doing the Lord's work. He may know nothing about modern methods, but the love for the Master will naturally overflow from his life In ministry. He will help people because it is his neSv nature so to do. "Get busy" and "Do it now" are the two popular mottoes that we see in shops and offices. There is one that precedes. It is "Get right." Proper relationship with the springs of service ; should precede forms of service. And I the conviction seems to be growing | among men of our time that the real need of Christianity is not more work or more money, but more of the sense of utter dependence upon God, and more of personal communion with Him. Sometimes the most practical service Is to go apart a while and listen. > The colloquial name of Christian Endeavor is "The Endeavor Society;." This organization has accented prac tical doing. And in this school of real service multitudes of young people have learned the mind of the. Master. Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only.deluding your own selves. For If anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face In a mir ror: for he beholdeth himself, and go elli away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.—James 1:22-24. ACHES AND PAINS Don't neglect a pain anywhere, but And out what causes it and conquer the cause. A pain In the kidney region may put you on your back to-morrow. Don't blame the weather for swollen feet, it may be an advanced warning of Brlght's disease. A pain In the stom ach may be the first symptom of appen dicitis. A creak In a joint may be the forerunner of rheumatism. Chronic headaches more than likely warn you of serious stomach trouble.
