PRACTICAL APPI,IC.ATIONS.
"Ye seek mo....beetiuse ye did eat Of
the loaves" (v. 26). Let us seek Mist
for whathe is, no for what lie gives.
Follow him for love, and not for loaves,
Turn from the greedy search for the
poor, unsatisfying barley bread of life.
Christ would have ne occupied, not with
his gifts, but with himself. He would be
the source and centre of all our living.
The true bread (v. 32). The fine flour
in the Jewish sacrifices typified the hu-
usanity of Jesus (Lev. 6:14-23, R, Ve;
24:5-9; Ileb. 7:26), Wheat. has to be
threthed. On the threshing floor of the
world the tribulum of sorrow passed
over Christ (Ism 53:5, 10; Psa. 32:4;
38:2, 8). Wheat bas to be sifted. In
the wilderness, and through all his min-
istry, Christ endured the temptations of
Satan (Luke 4:13) and the contradie-
tIons of sinners (Mark 12:1); Luke 4:29;
John 7:30; 8:59; Heb. 12.3). Wheat has
to be ground. Christ's sufferiegs in.the
garden were excruciating (Luke 22;44).
13read has to pass through fire, The
wrath of God against sin fell upon Jesus
on the cross. (Psa, 88:7; 2119; 89:4(;
102:0, 10; Matt. 27:40). Se costly was
the sacrifiee of him who said, "The broad
that I will give is my flesh, which I will
give for the life of the world" (v. 51).
The Bread of God (v. 33). Bread is
God's gift They tell us grain was un-
known in the geologial period. It was
"given" to man by God (Gen. 1:29, 30) -
Christ is the gift of God to man (1 John
4;10). Grain grows in almost every
climate and every soil. Sti Christ is the
life of every lima who eeimeth to him
(vs. 47, 48). Grain is a amenity. Christ
is needed by the poorest ana the rich-
est, the youngest and the oldest, the
weakest and the ,etrongest. As nothing
is so nourishing and essential to bodily
health as bread, so Christ is indispen-
sable to the soul. .As day by day, morn.
ing, neon and -night, we eat bread and
never tire of it, so. Christ eonstently
satisfies every want of our spiritual
nature.
The Bread of life (v. 36). Christ the
life his food for the hungry, water for
the thirsty, 'Medicine for the sick, com-
fort for the sorrowful. Man may . eat
tif niaterial bread and die. They • who
feed on Christ shall live (vs. 49-51), An

the most simple surroundings, he wasete.

Lord Himself is brought in personal con-
tact with man's inner beinte Faith es-
tablishes a sure and most blessed cone,

It is thetwire ever which the current of
divine fife passes to the human heart.
It is not enough to admire the abaracter

"I am afreid the ma,reiages are legal
in a way. Of course, there is a penalty
for marrying coapies without a license,
but the marriages were conducted by a
notary, and I don't see any way out of
it. The penalty, I think, is it $500 fine
for each °Renee!"
Should Mr. Perry be called upon to
pay 1500 for every couple Ile married
he will have to work hard at the notary
