Jesus the Bread. of Life. -John 6: 22-51.
Conunientary,-1. Seeking Jesus (vs.
22.25) The events of this lesson be-
gin on the morning following the feed-
ing of the five thousand and the walk-
ing on the water. On the night ]More
When the people saw the disciples
leave in the only boat ca that side
of the sea without Jesus, many of
them remained over ' night on the
• east coast in hopes of again seeing the
great Prophet (John 6: 14) on the
next day. But in the morning when
they saw he was not there they, "took
shipping" in the boats which had
come from. Tiberias and crossed over
to Capernaum "seeking for Jesus"
(v 24). When they found him on the
west side of the sea they were aston-
ished, and said, "When camest thou
hither?" It was a mystery to them
how he could cross the sea without
being seen. "News of his arrival had
spread far and near, and his way was
.hindered by crowds, who had, as
usual, brought their sick to the streets
through which he was passing, ix;
hopes that he would heal them'
(Mark 6: 53-55).
1I. The distinction between mater-
ial and spiritual bread (vs. 26-34). 26.
Jesus answered them -He •paid no at-
tention to their question Be to how he
crossed the sea, but instead disclosed
to them the unworthy motive the;
had in seeking him -to be filled.•
verily, verily -the repetition of this
word among the Jewish writers was
considered of equal import with the
most solemn oath. -Clarke. not be-
cause -They wore not attracted to
Christ by any revelation that they saw
in his miracles, of his love or Mes-
siahship. They comprehended no spir-
itual meaning. but because ye did
eat -They were seeking hint purely
from selfish considerations. They
were looking at the result. of the mir-
acles rather than at the divine agency
that had produced them. Selfishness
in any form was very* distasteful to
Jesus, and especially so now. when
he saw these people following hint for
"the loaves and fishes."
27. which perisheth-Our chief ob-
ject in life should not be to gain tem-
poral supplies. Every man should be
diligent in business, and should care
fully provide for his bodily wants.
but still, that is not the principal
thing. We -are to seek first "the king-
dom of God," and the one who seeks
first the satisfaction of his worldly
and temporal wants, degrades his soul
and acts in a- manner unworthy of his
Creator. which endureth-Compare
"this discourse with our Lord's words
to the Samaritan woman in John 4:
13.15, We are to labor for spiritual
and eternal good. Labor not for "the
- things which are seen," for they will
periish with the handling; but labor
f'or the things which are "not seen,"
for they are eternal, and will endure
forever. which the Son of man -"The
term is especially appropriate here,
as it is only by virtue of his incar-
nation that Christ gives this enduring
food." ellen give -God gives us his
good things and yet we must seek for
them. him hath God sealed -The
seal is used as a sign of (1) author-
ity, (2) genuineness, and (3) protec-
tion. God "sealed," that is, authen-
ticated Jesus as the true Bread from
heaven, "(1) by direct testimony in
the Scriptures, (2) by the voice from
heaven at his baptism, (3) by his
miracles and Messianic work."
28. What roust we do (R. V.) -This
question is suggested by his exhortation
to labor, in v. 27. They have a desire to
do the works pleasing to God and thus;
secure '`that meat which endureth."
29. This ie the work -They probably
. were thinking of works of the law,
tithes, sacrifices, etc. Christ tells them
of one work, one moral set, from which
e all the rest derive their value --belief in
Him whom Goll )zits sent, -Plummer.
"Faith is the prineiplc which produces t
good works." 1f you desire to do works
pleasing to God, accept His Am,ba.ssa,dor 1
-His representative in this world. The
greatest sin that human beings can corn- 2
mit is the sit of rejecting the. Lord ;Nene t
Christ. :It is it.n open insult to the Al-
mighty. 30, What sign Sign is the o
usual word for miracle in John. They 3
evidently understand, that Jesus is laying t
claizu to the Mossiahsdzip, and they ask i
for proof. That we may see -Proof had ,S
been given them again and again, but t
their darkened minds could not perceive J
the truth. They seem to eavil here, too, t
for they had just seen the miracle of
feeding the five thousand, 3). Did eat
manila -They really say to Oheis-t that w
Ire must not expect to establish His o
cleim sins Messiah by giving five thousand
one meal, for Moses did even more than
that; be fed vast millions for forty
years, and his was ")tread front heaven,"
while Christ used 'barley bread and fish.•
As it is wrt'tten:-,See ) sa..78,'24; Eno&
16, 4. In these passages it is distinetly
stated that God sent the manna, •but
'they make it appear that it n'as .Moses.
32. It was not Moses that gave you (R.
V,) -Jesus refutes their statements by
showing (1) that it wad not Moses but
.G,oc1 who sent .the manna, (2) that the
manna was not the true bread. Civets
you --Notice the change in tense. The
manna ceased after a few year's, but
God is continually giving the true bread.
33. From heaven -"(Tire manna came
from heaven, as God Himself said 1 Exod,
10, 4), but the true bread carte from
the- real heaven, where God the Father
dwells." Unto the world --The manna
was given to the 'Hebrew nation for a
short time; the "true bread" Wm; for the
whole world for all time. 34. Evermore
give us this bread --They di,d not under-
stand yet that i.le was speaking of .11inl-
self. They.hacl as vague a conception of
.His meaning as the Samaritan. woman at
the well had of the -living water." "The
Jews expected that when the 1lessiah
should cone He would give there all
manner of delioacies, sues as manna.,
wine and spicy oil." --Clarke.
III. Jesus the )3read of Life (vs. 35,
36).
35. 1 11111 the bread of life -,loos
keeps them in doulet 110 longer; and yet,
when Ile speaks plainly the mystery
only deepens; so blind is the natural
heart. 1 ant the one who giveth life un-
to the world and save from the dearth of
sin. "Compare the 'tree of life' (Gen.
2. 9; 22, 24;) the water of life' (Rev.
21, 00; 22, 1)." Shall never hunger -
Shall never desire spiritual grace and
not have it given to him." In a healthy
spiritual condition the soul hungers and
thirsts after God, but in Ohrist every
desire of the inner life is fully met;
the promise to such is, "they shall be
filled." As bread supports the natural
life of man, so the salvation procured
by the death of Christ is that which
gives sustenance to the soul.
36. And believe note They closed their I
eyes, and would not :wept the most pos-!
itive proofs of (.1hri is divinity.
IV. The blessedness of conning to
Christ (vs. 37-40). 37. All that the Fit- 1
tiler giveth--The bather draws all men
but only those who yield to the influeuc-
es of the Spirit are given to the Sou.
There is no coercion; the choice is de- 1
terenined by man's will. In no wise cast i
out -Jesus never• closed Tlis ears to the
cry of a penitent. '.Chose who "come"
in the true sense will be saved.
38-40. Christ came to do the will of
Itis Father; the Father's will is that He
should keep every soul committed to
Him. Those who believe in ,]esus Christ
to the saving of the soul have the pro-
mise of everlasting life and will be rais-
ed up at the last day -the day when
this probationary state shall close, and
Christ shall come to judge the world.
"God's eternal 7iurpose and man's free
will are here stated together. Men have
seized now one and now 'the other of
these truths. and have built upon them
r
separate 701�,aclgl acystrr•n,s of (z�}:etr!ine
which are but half-truths. Jesus ur,?tes
them. Their resolution transcends hum-
an reason, but is within the experience
of human life. "If there is no free will,"
says St. Bernard.. "there is nothing to
save: if there is no free graee there is
nothing wherewith to save."'
In vs. 41-51 our Lord continues liis
discourse. The ,Jews who were hotile to
Him Intrr•ninr• at His strong statements
concerning Himself. But He repeats
there with added force. Those who ate
the manna in the wilderness are dead,
as that was merely for the body for a
short time; but those \vho partake of
the true bread from heaven shall not.
die, but shall live forever.

never tire of it, so (,Frier constantly

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
"Ye seek me...,beeause ye did eat of
the loaves" (v. 26). Let us seek Christ
for what he is, not for what he gives.
Follow him for love, and not for loaves.
Turn from the greedy search for the
poor, unsatisfying barley bread of life.
Ohrist would have us occupied, not with
his gifts, but with himself. Ile would be
he source and centre of ail our living.
Ilse true bread (v. 32). The fine flour
n the Jewish sacrifices typified the hu-
manity of Jesus (Lev. 6:14-23, R. V.,;
4:5-9; Heb. 7:26). Wheat has to be
hreshed. On the threshing floor of the
world the tribulttm of sorrow passed
ver Christ (Isa.. 53:5, 10; )'sa, 32:4;
8:2, 8). Wheat has to be sifted. In
he wilderness, and through all his min-
stry, Christ endured the temptations of
titan (Luke 4:13) and the contradie-
ions of sinners (Mark 12:1) ; Luke 4:29;
0101 7:30; 8:59; Heb. 12.3). Wheat has
o be ground. Christ's sufferings in the
garden were excruciating (Luke 22:44).
Bread has to pass through fire. The

''•.i't,
Mrs. F. Miner, of 311 Suffolk S reet, Guelph, Ont , says: "A year
since, while while living in Oshawa, Ont., my little daughter Lorinda, six
years of age contracted a skin disease on the upper part of her body. This
first broke out like tiny water blisters, afterwards taking the form of dry scabs. These
would disappear for a short time and then reappear worse than ever. The clothes
coating in contact with the stein set up such a severe irritation that it was impossible
to keep her from scratching. We tried various preparations yet obtained no
good results until we began using Zam-13uk. With each application the irritation
and soreness was greatly relieved, and the child rested easier. Thro' continued
using, the eruptions and scabs fast disappeared and in a short space of time the skin
was completely cleared from the disease. It is now some months since we used
Zam-Bok, and as there are no signs of any more eruptions breaking out on her bol '
we believe Zern•Buk has worked a complete cure." giant- ink Crites cuts, enapp dhnntls,

CANADA'S FORESTS.
The Dominion Must Husband Her
Timber Resources.
Canada's forest area has been various-
ly estimated at (roar eight hundred
million to three hundred million acres,
The latter is the latest estimate, and
was given by Dr. B. E. Fernow, the
recently appoint dean of the 'faculty
of forestry at the University of Toronto.
He is one of the best authorities on
forest subject on the continent, and for
years was head of the United States
Bureau of Forestry. His estimate, he
thinks, "will cover the commercially val-
uable timber land area, actual and po-
tential." At this estimate the forest
area of Canada is "not much more than
one-half of the commercial forest area
of the, United States."
Mr, R. Ii. Campbell, Superintendent
of Forestry, for the Dominion Govern-
ment, gives a rather larger estimate. He
has calculated the forest area of the Do-
minion at about 535 million acres, divid-
ed as follows:
Acres.
British Columbia .. , 182 million
Man., Sask., Alta. and un-
organized territories .. 180 million
Ontario .. .. 40 million
Quebec: .. . . , .... 1.20 million
New Brunswick . , , , . , 7 3S million
Nova Scotia , . 5 million
"lnexhaustiblc" used to be a favorite
word to describe Canada's :forests; But
the drop from the old figure of 800 mil-
lion titres to the more recent ones given
above shows clearly that the more Can-
ada's forest wealth is investigated, the
less are people inclined to use that word.
Great as .this wealth may be, it is for
Canada to husband her resources, and
make her forests a permanent asset. In
order to do this. she must carefully- pro-
tect her forests and see to their being re-
produced, that a future supply of timber
may be ensued from them. This would
mean the careful management of these
lands on scientific and business: princi-
ples. and these it is that the forestry
movement is seeking to introduce
throughout the Dominion.
