'The disciples, • realized the need of the. People and possibly they were speaking frail, 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 them, Give ye then to eat. And they say unto him, shall we go and buy two htindred shillings worth of bread, and give them. to eat? And he saith unto thein, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, five, and two fishes". "Send them away", is the coun- sel of the disciples. "Gike ye them to eat, is the command of Christ, Christ knew what he was about to cio, but He would first show His disciples their great need and their entire helplessness. They must learn to look to Him for everything. Their resources were very small, totally inadequate, but how' different was the ease when placed in the hands of Jesus. We often face tremendous difficulties and problems with such inadequate resources, but when we in faith put our little into His hands, we are able to ,..rheas evevy .,demand. All Were Satisfied "And he commanded them that all should sit down by com- panies upon the green grass. And they sat down in ranks, by hund- reds, c -s, and by fifties. And He took • the five loaves incl the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided 1 -le among them all. Ana they all ate and were filled." Our Saviour always sought a blessing on his food. 'Do we?.

Clarke * * Generally I leave recipes and suchlike to cookery columns or recipe books but once in awhile I hit on something original and then I like to pass the. good news along. So here's my latest—and whi. T was making pies and wanted one in a hurry for dinner. An .open pie filled with the sante fill- iiigas for butter tarts is usually nm• emergency pie. But on this day my supply of raisins and cur- rants was low—and clear knows • if we will get any more—so 1 look- ed' around for a substitute, This 'Was the result: I took 1 table - stirs= of soft butter and blended it ~with ee cup of brown sugar and two• small eggs well beaten, Into this mixture I stirred one scant Cup of mincemeat and then 'I put the whole concoction 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 1 knew it was. Partner, •you will ,understand, like most Men, generally expresses an opin- ion'only if there is something he doesn't like, So 1 naturally thought a pie sufficiently unusual to arouse masculine continent was something to write to the column thanks to think of all .our bles- si:igs, our thanksgiving would be • more sincere, • less formal, At what niomen' 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 breakingand the distribut- ing. All were blessed and all were satisfied. There is no stint with •C aii.et; - He gives in nbtn:.danee. He invites us to a greater feast— the feast of -the gospel. They who partake of Christ, of His life, of }lis word, find a satisfaction which cannot be found in env 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 men." It was Christ who eom- • mantled His disciples to do this that nothing be lost. The guan- tity taken up shows how liberal had been Christ's provision. Our Lord 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 thanks: If the Son of God did not break the bread without thanksgiving how much less should. we! Only after their need had been .met, does He bid them de- part, Jesus sends no *nneedy soul away unblessed. He sent this hungry faint-hearted crowd away abundant satisfied. If we come to Jesus in the spirit of true re- pentance, He will fully anel freely forgive us and send us on our way rejoicing, about. If you try my recipe and like it you might call it "Ginger Farm special," If you don't like it then let it he nameless—and don't send me your doctor bills! * * * . Do you know what I have done this year? I'll tell you, I have actually read two whole books and started on a third. And that's really something. Not because I don't like reading—don't ever think it—but it just seems that one's time is so crowded these days that reading to any extent is something one has to sacrifice. A scanty perusal of newspapers, magazines and "Digests" is about all I've had time for—writing let- ters, knitting and sewing for the Red Cross are so much more im- portant, to say nothing of meet- ings, eetings, and reports and suchlike, to take up what would otherwise be one's spare time. Not that I have run out of jobs—far from it—but I just felt as if I had to give my- self a break, as it were. 'you know how it is once in awhile, don't you? However, in case you think I'm lying down on the job, per- haps I should tell you that in the last three weeks I have also knit- ted nitted five pairs of mitts, two hel- mets and two skull caps. But alas, the most one can do is still so little, If I hadn't done any read- ing I might possibly have had two more skull caps to my credit, Blit then I wouldn't have known so muck about "The Men Around Churchill" by Rene Kraus or the struggle of the Comeau family In "The Sea is So Wide" by Evelyn Eaton. Another distraction was the show "In Which We Serve." I knew it to be a splendid show but it was even better than I ex- pected xpected because I had not realised that a picture of that type would have so much humour in it. With- out ithout that saving humour the pathos of the picture would have been a little more than one could take. * * * And then there's the radio .. 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, nformed, 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 eau be the means of much wasted time. You tura 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 written. - And what about the 'soap dramas'? Oh yes, I know you can work and listen too, but just watch and you will notice that your pace slack- ens as the tempo of the story in creases.
