PRACTICAL NOTES.
Weep 22. The day following. The
n
duty after the feeding of the fle@
thousund. The people, which stood
on the other side of the sea. Those
who remained where they had been
fed, just acmes the sea from Caper-
nuum. John's point of view in this
verse is Capernaum: It is difficult
for tie to realize the manner of Last -
ern life, especially in our Lord's time.
Men and women were not anchored
to thole homes and planes of business
as with use The yearly pilgrimages
to Jerusalem were one of several
forces which made it easy for great
erowde lightly to move from place to
plane, 'sleeping in the open air when
overtaken by night.
28. Most of the multitude had come
from the west of the lake, and in the
morning saw with pleasure a number
of small boats, blown auross from Ti-
berias, probably by the contrary wind
that had so preplexed the disciples.
24. When the people therefore saw.
In the morning. That Jesus was nut
there. Though not in the. boat with,
his disciples, he had gone, and
if they could find the disciples, they
would probably find him. Came to
Capernaum. Seeking for Josue.
Capernaum was known to be the place
where Jesus "oltenest abode. As Dr.
Watkins reminds us, "It "is not nee-
essnry to suppose that the five thous-
and people that had been fed ell re-
turned, for many of them doubtless
continued on their way to Jerusa-
lem."
25. When they had found him
on the other side of the sea. John
had changed his point of view. In
verse 22 we were standing in Cap-
erneum and looking toward "Lhe other
side of the sea " whence the peoPie
came ; now those people have found
him on "t he other side of the sen."
from that from which they started.
Already this day had been made mem-
orable by the wurking of a number
of miracles between the place where
the boat carrying our Lord and hie
disciples had Landed and the town of
Capernaum. Rabbi Master. When
oomesl thou hither. AS we have said,
elsewhere,. " When " includes "How."
1l'rom John 6,59 we learn that they
found him in the synagogue teaching;
probably, as many scholars have sug-
gesled, the synagogue that was built
by the Roman centurion, Luke 7. 5.
'We can fancy the eager turbulence
with which the crowd filled Lhe buiid-
ii g es soon as they knew that the
Lord was there. Their question is not
directly tt0etvered, nor, apparently,
are they intent on receiving a direct
aastver. They aro full of enthusiasm
for the great Provider, and the tone
of their question is that of familiar
followers. But there is not the slight-
est indication of "hunger and thirst
utter righteousness"—of spiritual
ouriosily or desire.
26. Verily, verily, f say unto you.
This was the most solemn way in
which our Lord could begin
hes statement. Ye seek me,
not because ye saw the miracles, but
because ye did eat of the loaves. Use-
less discussions often spring up
among students of toe BR:te es to
Whether this or that marvelous apt
was a miracle. It is well to remember
that the philosophic delinnlion of.
miracles is altogether modern and
Western. Tho word here means
"Signs." Oor Lord. does not say, "Ye
seek me, sot because you saw my'per-
formanoe, but because you ale;" he
says, rather, "Yu seek me, not be-
cause you understood the miraculous
feeding; you did not understand the
awn; the loaves did you ne good. be -
goad merely satisfying .our eppe-
ti Le,'`•

ber that the enthusiasm of such a
rabble would damage aur Lord's cause
They thought themselves 'to be
Christ's disciples, and they were so
understood by others, and his teach-
ing would be judged by their aon-
duat, There is not one unnecessarily
knish kvoed in Shia whole discourse.
These people end all others within

That they could not make Jesus king,
treoause his kingdom was not of this

tent upon this world'% goods were not

might work the works of God,. These
people seem to be intent ten dodging

junction to work not for the meat

tion of pleasing God that the average
Jew at this limo Lad was that of

29. .This is the work of God. This
is the sort of endeavor that pleases
God. That ye believe an him wham
be hath sent. Not merely believe him,
accept his instructions, but, believe
on him. This sentence represents a
groat effort made by our Lord to
turn these heedless people from
thoughts of their bodies to thoughts
of their souls. The only way to
"earn! eternal treasures is to trust
in Christ.
30. They said therefore. With some
evident, resentment. If they had not
believed Jesus to be a prophet, they
would not have mime across the lake
after him. But now, he is claiming
more; so they want an Additional
sign. What sign showest thou then,
that we may see, and helieve thee.
Such a question asked after the mir-
acle seems inexplicable,, but we may
suppose that many of the olamorers
Lad not porlaken of that, meal, but had
only heard of it. They wanted a
miraculous meal also, Then, too, if our
Lord had the power to work miracles,
why could he not work them continu-
ously, as Moses seemed to have done?
The deep error of these people is that
they look at the miracle, not at what
the miracle was a sign of. There are
many skeptics and semi -skeptics who
are in a pasitioa very like that of these
people.
31. Our fathers did eat manna in the
desert. rite it continuously, and
therefore the miracle they enjoyed was
greater than that we 'have enjoyed.
Be gave them bread from heaven to
eat. This quotation ie partly from
Pea. 78. 24, partly from Geod. 16. 4.
32. Moses gave you not that bread
from heaven; but my father giveth
you the true bread from heaven, Jesus
had multiplied the bread as he broke
it; Muses otmpiy directed the Jews to
the showers of manna from God. But
now God gives the real heavenly Bread
of which both the manna and the mul-
tiplied loaves were symbols.
33. Thisversa is far. above Lhe coin -
prehension of our scholars. It etas far
above Lhe comprehension of the peo-
ple that heard the words spoken. But
Chose who in their spiritual natures
have passed from death unto life un-
derstands that there is a food from
heaven that. nut merely sustains life
but gives it, and that this bread is
Christ hi,nself,
31. Lord, evermore give us this
bread. A prayer as devout in words
and tone as was ever offered ; but the
conduct of those who offered it allow-
ed that what they wanted was not
heavenly bread, but more loaves.
35. I am the bread of life. Our Lord
sought by every figure of speech to
make plain his relation to needy hu-
man being -a. He is the bread of life,
he is the water of life, he is the foun-
tain of.11fe, his are the words of life,
he is Life ; and as the physical body
depends upon the support of food, so
the spiritual life of mankind Ls sus-
tained by Christ.
30. Ye also have seen me, and bo-
lieve not. You have had the fullest
evidence. Your unbelief is perversity.
37. All that: the Father giveth me
shall come to me. The form of Lhe
Greek here turns our attention away
from individuals to the grand mass of
humanity. Our Lord is consoling
himself against the ingratitude of
these people. Souls will come to him
although these souls reject him, Him
that oometh to Inc„ 1 will in no wise,
oast out. The whole passage is, a won-
derful harmony of apparent contra-
diotions—God's eternal purpose and
man's free will,

STORMED THE ARSENAL.
Why the Russian Losses Were
Heaviest at Tien-Tsin.
A despatch from London, lthureday,
days:—The last steamer at Chefoo
from Taku brought this meal ags,
dated Tien-Tsin, Monday;—
"T'he Russian general in command
of the relief lone haa doatded, eY

mance should not be resumed until

guns, the firing gime at long range,
They continued to advance steadily,
the Chinese artillery replying. The
guns of the, allies Were more skilfully
handled and put the guns of the Chan
ase out of action one by one..
Thera was keen rivalry among the
representatives of .the various nations
as to which should enter Tien-Tsin
first, and the Amerioans and British
went in neck and nook. The Russians
stormed the arsenal, thereby sustain-
ing the largest losses.
Several thousand Japanese have left
Taku from Tien-Tsin, and altogether
13,000 Japanese have landed. The in-
ternational troops now aggregate
nearly 20,000, and Japan Is preparing
to send 20,000 more, with British, Am-
erican, and other troops ordered to
go. Probably 60,000 men will be
available in a month.

Russians are planning to break t'he
concert,. and take possession of Pekin
independently. They assert that
Vice -Admiral Seymour's command
lacked unison, the foreigners suikmg
because they were under British lead-
ership, They bitterly denounce the
general conduct of the Russians as
uncivilized and barbarous and charge
that the slaughter of peaceful China-

wise passive natives against the for-
atinees. .
