THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. -The feeding of the five'
thousand, and the miracle of our
Lord walking on the water, took
place in April, A.D. 29; the feed-
ing of the four thousand took
place the same year.
Place.:—The miracle of tine five
thousand took place at Bethsaida,
on the sea of Galilee; on this
Lea also the miracle of the walking •
-on the water occurred. The feed-
ing of the fear thousand, took
place in what, is known as De
capolis, the "territory east of the
Jordan River, towards the north.
Disciples Cannot Feed Them
"And when - the day was now
far spent, his ,disciples came unto
him, and said, The place is desert,
and the clay is now far spent;
send them away, that they may
go into the country and villages
round about, and buy themselves
s.mewhat to eat." The disciples
realized -the need of the people
and possibly they were speaking
from their own experience, they
too would be feeling hungry and
knew they had insufficient re-
sources of their own to feed them-
selves and the -multitude.
"But he answered and said
unto then, Give ye them to eat.
And they say unto him, shalt we
go and buy two hundred shillings
worth of bread, and give them
to eat? And- he saith unto them,
How many loaves have ye? Go
and see. And when they knew,
they say, five, and two fishes".
"Send thein away", is the eoun-
sel of the disciples. "Give ye them
to eat, is the command of Christ.
Christ knew what he was about
to do, but He would first show
His disciples their great needand
their entire helplessness. They
must learn to look to Him for
everything. Their resources were
very small, totally inadequate, but
how different was the case when
placed in the hands of Jesus. We
often face tremendous difficulties
and prcbletns with such inadequate
resources, but when we in faith
put our little into His hands, we
are able to meed every demand.
All Were Satisfied
"And he counniuu!ed them
that all should sit clown by coin-
panies upon the green grass, And
they sat clown in ranks, by hu nd-
reds, and -by fifties. And He took `
the five loaves and the two fishes,
anti looking up to heaven, he
blessed, and brake the loaves, and
he gave to the disciples to set
before then; and the two fishes
divided He among thein all. And
they all ate and wore filled:"

blessing on his food. Do we?. If

Generally I leave recipes and
suchlike to cookery columns or
recipe books but once in awhile I' .
hit on aoinething original and
them I like to pass the good news
along. So here's my latest—and
why.
I was making pies and wanted
one in ' a hurry for dinner. An
open pie filled with the same fill-
ing as for butter tarts is usually
my emergency pie. But on this
day my supply of raisins and cur-
rants was low—and dear knows
if we- will get any more—so I look-
ed around for a substitute, This
was the result: I took 1 table-
spoon of soft butter and blended
it with 3f cup of -brown sugar and
two small eggs well beaten. Into
this mixture I stirred one avant
cup of mincemeat and then I put.
the wholeconcoction into an un -
baked pie shell and baked in a
moderate oven until it was set. It
really turned out to be a delect-
able pie—it even brought forth
expressions of unsolicited approv-
al from Partner. Before that I
thought the pie was good—but
after that I knew it was, Partner,
you will -understand, like most
men, ,generally expresses an opin-
ion only 1f there is something he
doesn't like. So I naturally thought
a pie sufficiently unusual to
arouse masculine comment was
something to write to the column.
thanks to thine. of all our bles-
sings, our thanksgiving would; be
more sincere, less formal. At
what tnomen .the actual increase
of the loaves took place we
know not. The multiplication of
the loaves and the fishes went on
in the hands of Christ between
the breaking and the distribut-
ing. All were blessed and all were
satisfied. There is no stint with
Christ; He gives in abandance.
He invites us to a greater feast—
the feast of the gospel. They who
partake of Christ, of His life, of
His word, find a satisfaction
which cannotfound be r 1r
a any
material thing,
The Economy Of Jesus -
"And they took up broken
pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also
of the fishes, And they that ate
the loaves were five thousand
mon." It was Christ who com-
manded His disciples to do this
that nothing be lost. The guan-
tity taken up shows how liberal
had been Christ's provision. Our
Lard gives generously, but He
does not sanction waste.
The Second Feeding
"In those days, when there was
again a great multitude, and they
had nothing to eat ... and there
were about four thousand, and
he sent them away. "What a
beautiful spirit of consideration
our Savour shows for this mul-
titude. Are we as thoughtful and
considerate as we ought to be. It
is said that `evil is wrought by
want of -thought as well as by
want of heart.' The disciples had
forgotten how Christ had fed the
-
multitiudes before. Is it not true
of us all? How soon we forget
God's mercies in the past!
Once again our Lord returns.

not break the bread without

to Jesus in the 'spirit of true 'e-

forgive us and send us on our
way rejoicing.

Do you know what 0 have done

actually read two whole books and

last three weeks I have also knit-

Tell me, my friends, what part
does radio play in your life? Do
you find it a diversion? Does it
help you, amuse you, keep you in-
formed, or is it an irritation and
a hindrance? We know it can be
any, or all, of these things. Like
other inventions, its use or abuse
depends upon the public. I know
one thing—it can be the means
of much wasted time. You turn
on the radio—ah, that's a good
programme I'll just wait until
it's over before starting that let-
ter! And then something else
comes along and first thing you
know the letter doesn't get writteilf,
And what about the 'soap dramas'?
Oh yes, 1 know you can work and
listen too, but just watch and you
will notice that your pace slack-
ens
lackens as the tempo of the story lin
creases. I know... even though I
am not a regular radio drama ad.
