Golden Text: “I am the bread of life.”—Jokn, vi.35. Armistice Sunday calls for the con- sideration of world peace. Six years have passed since the World War was brought to a close by an armi- stice, which men hoped marked the end of all wars. They have been con- tinued and fare still being carried on because men and nations have not vet learned the message Jesus sought to teach in connection with the feed- ing of the 5,000. When His gospel is carried out “international good will” and permanent peace will be established among men. A combination of eventy forced Jesus to consider the political leader- ship of His countrymen. His refusal marked the decisive hour in our Lord’s ministry and the history of the world. The murder of John the Baptist, whom Herod had recently beheaded, aroused the spirit of revo- lution among the masses. Pilgrims pouring into Capernaum, en route to Jerusalem to attend the Passover, were filled with the spirit of patriot- ism and religion. They longed to cast off the yoke of Roman authority. Their presence increased the num- ber who desired national freedom. Herod's inquiry concerning Jesus In- creased the tendency of John's dis. ciples to attach themselves to Chris his successor. The apostles had just returned from a missionary tour that had increased the popularity of Jesus. . was “after these things® that took His disciples to a se- cluded place near Bethsaida, so that they might secure a needed rest. The place selected was outside of Herod's territory. This insured them freedom from state interferencc during their period of rest ana review of the apostles’ ser: 1t s located upon the east Lank of fhe Jordan near avhere it ¢® ers the Sea of Gal- ilee. Jesus was at the height of His popularity. His preaching power and personality had attracted attention and won recognition from all classes. His departure was observed. A great crowd fnlluw(-nl Him on foot. They were moved by idle curiosity, love of excitement and in some cases a de- sire to be healed. It is not surpris- ing to read that they came “because they beheld the signs which He did on them that were sic! Watching His boat from the shore, some of the crowd had reached the place before the Master arrived with His apostles. Christ's Compassi Christ felt no resentment at their presence. The needs of humanity always appealed to Him. His heart beat in sympathy with the crowd, whom He considered to be like sheep, tired, torn by thorns, tormented by beasts without a shepherd's protec- tion. We learn from Matthew that throughout the day He preached to the crowd that kept coming in in- creasing numbers and ministered un- to their needs until the shadows of evening brought a suggestion from the disciples that He dismiss the multitude, so that they could be fed. Emergencies are opportunities that men and reveal their spiritual vision and dependence upon God. Je took advantage of the needs of crowd to test the faith of of His disciples and develop power. He put the Philip. who was a the some their spiritual problem up to native of that locality. by asking him ““Where are we to buy bread that these may eat Philip's answer, which probably was the result of a conference with the other apostles, proves that they had not grasped Christ’s question, much less His pro- gram. The Lord had not asked “how,” but “where” could they buy bread. In considering their resources before thinking of the source of supply, they failed to meet their op- portunity of service. Men are failing today to do what ought to be done in developing the Kingdom of God, because they consider their limited resc before considering God's unlimited supply. Every member of that crowd was expected to take care of his own personal needs. The proposition to spend 200 denari, which would be equivalent to average daily wages of 200 men, would have bankrupted their treasury. Andrew had discov- ered that a boy in the crowd had five small barley crackers and two small dried or pickled fishes that he expected to eat with his bread. The lad had enough for his needs. but Andrew considered it an impos- sibility to supply the enormous de- mands of the multitude with such a limited quantity. Miraculous Provisfon. Jesus had another plan. True to His generosity, He started to feed the 5,000 men, not counting the wom- en and children, by securing the boy's supply. Christ recognized Its hidden potential powers. All of our posses- sions would become greater dedicated them to the service of men by bringing them to Jesus. Another element in connection with the mir- acle, that impresses one, is the use of system and of helpers. They could not be fed, as a mob, so he directed His apostles to divide them into groups and to let them sit down in Tows of 50 and 100 upon the grass. Their variegated costumes gave them the appearance of a flower garden, when His commands were obseryed. Standing before them with the scant supply of the lad in His hands, Jesus offered a prayer of thanks- giving. It was customary for the heads of Jewish households to give thanks there preceding every meal, but was _something = about the Master's methods that was unique. The multitude could see the food literally increase in His hands as He broke up the fish and bread and directed the apostles to distribute it among the crowd. Christ cared for the needs of all, just as God today in His loving care provides for the needs of every living soul. He, however, uses now, as then, the assistance of men. Our Lord has a place for all of His followers. He needs the help of all in meeting the problems of the hour. Crown Refused. The miracle revealed the Master's executive ability. He showed His thoughtfulness and care for the weak and needy. His action in saving the fragments, which when gathered up filled 12 baskets, was noted. Each disciple probably filled the wicker basket that all traveling Jews car- ried with them. The crowd was im- pressed with the idea that Jesus was the prophet concerning whom Moses, who had fed their fathers in the wilder- ness, had spoken; John's disciples saw in the feeding a sign that the Master was the Messiah. The people went wild with excitement and determina- tion to carry Jesus to Jerusalem and make Him the nation’s King. Christ was not. decefved by their enthusiasm. He faced the issue and refused the political leadership that they offered. He knew that they were moved by His miracles. He recognized that they were looking to Him to cure their physical ailments, remove their social distress and se- cure for them political independence. He was a patriot and loved His na- tion. While He would have been pleased had His countrymen accept- ed Him as the Messiah, He could not accept temporal power as their po- litical ruler. _The kingship offered Houses For Sale and Rent J. LEO KOLB Main 5027 923N, Y. Ave. 1237 Wis. Ave. it we| many opportunities for spiritual service. If He accepted it, the Ro- man world would have been preju- diced against His gospel and His mission would have been & failure. It was not the first time that Jesus had met the issue. ‘He settled it for- ever by refusing their support. It meant the end of His popularity, a period of opposition and finally the cross. Unless He could minister unto the hearts of men and meet their spir- itual needs, Christ would not be do- ing the Father's will. Jesus knew that political power and philanthrop- ic provision to meet the emergencies of the moment would not permanent- ly satisfy human needs. Such service would limit His activities to a few years and He would have to repeat His assistance more and more. He sought to win the mind, soul and spirit of men because the spiritual needs were greater than the phys- fcal, social or political. By supplying the’ spiritual needs of men, Christ gave the world a cure for all their ills. World peace awaits the hour when all men shall possess the spirit of good will toward God and their fellow men. The needs of the world is a chal- lenge to the Church of Christ. We must answer the call of the Near East for help and the Red Cross in its desire for membership, but unless we give the world Christ, “the bread of life,” all of our reform work and efforts to relieve humanity will fail. The church is not an institution to be maintained, but an organization that must be preserved to be used to bring in the Kingdom of God. Our Lord gave to His church the duty of carrying on His work, which alone can bring “world peace” and “inter- national good will. ST. ANDREW’S SOCIETY OFFICER COMES TO D. C. E. A. Shields to Live in Capital. Will Direct Work in This Province. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew, a national organization of men and boys of the Episcopal Church, has been or- ganized on the provincial lines, and Edward A. Shields has taken up his residence in Washington as field sec- retary for the Brotherhood in this province. For several years the Brotherhood of St. Andrew has maintained a cen- tral office in Philadelphia.

Mr. Shields was one of these secretaries. At the conclusion of the war the Brotherhood continued to em- ploy a small number of secretaries who traveled about the country where their services were most needed. This plan has now ’a(-v'n superseded by placing a secrefary in each of the eight provinces into which the coun- try is divided in the administration of the Episcopal Church. The province of Washington includes the States of Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the Dis- trict of Columbia.
