Several hundred British Bap- tists will make the trip in a chartered ship. Fifty nations were represented in the last Congress at Stockholm, in 1923, | and equally as many are expected t0 have representation at Toronto. Ini- tiating this year's program will be a| roll call of the nations, to which there | will be a.three-minute response, in| which chosen speakers will bring the { greetings of every country represented. § By reason of their vast numbers of | Baptists, as well as their’ proximity to {the meeting place, Canada and the United States are expected to contribute a large majority of the delegates. Sev- { eral special trains from the South have already been planned, while tourist agencies have formed special delega- tions, and several motor caravans are bemg formed. The Northern Baptist convention will meet in Detroit just preceding the World Alliance and many of the delegates there will go directly to Toronto for the Congress. Prominent on the program for this | year will be the tercentenary celebration | of the birth of John Bunyan, author of | Pilgrim's Progress, -which has been translated into 75 languages and has had eirculation second only to that of | the Bible.

HUGH T. STEVENSON, JESUS FEEDS THE MULTI- TUDE.—Mark, vi.31-44; viii.1-10. Golden text—I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth in Me shall never thirst.—John, Vi35, Christ's Galilean ministry reached its crisis with the events recorded in this lesson. Its importance was rec- ognized by the writers of the four gos- pels. Each records it. Matthew con- nects it with the death of John the | Baptist, which resulted in the disciples | of the great prophet uniting with the | Master. Luke and Mark link up the crisis with the return of the apostles from’ their missionary tour. In John's with_the Pharisees over healing upon | the Sabbath, when Jesus insisted that | that He did testified to | His authority. It was a sign of His Messiahship and evidence to the deity of Jesus. John points out that the miracle of feeding the crowd took place when the passover was near. Jesus had won the hearts of the lib- erty-loving Gilileans by His preaching | and philanthropic ministry of healing. | The apostle’s successful tour had in- creased His popularity. It turned the thought of men toward Him | and they sought Him at His Caper- naum headquarters. They brought their sick to Him. They sought ®is ex- planations of their perplexing religious problems and interpretations of the Old Testament Scriptures. His enemles were trying to ensnare Him and their oppo- sition was increased by the Master's popularity and demonstration of per- sonal power, The demands upon the Lord's time taxed His physical strength, but mn sympathy for men did not per- mit Him to consider His own needs. ‘When the aposties returned from their tour, the presence of the crowd interfered with their making a com- plete report concerning their success. The reaction of the report of the death of the Baptist and their need for physi- cal, mental and spiritual change, be- cause the presence of the crowd gave them no chance to obtain the required | sleep and food, was observed by the Lord. He proposed to the aposties that they retire for a rest in a secluded sec- tion of Bethsalda. They started out for their first retirement by salling about 5 miles across the Sea of Galilee to a place near the upper Jordan, that was under Phiiip’s rule and beyond the Jurisdiction of Herod. They knew a secluded spot in the mountains, over- looking the plain, where He hoped to rest with His disciples. The presence of the multitude, that had noticed their departure and had reached the place by land before their arrival, changed His program for the day. Although in their selfishness the multitude had neo consideration for the Master, any more than they have today for Lindbergh's wishes for a day of rest, Jesus revealed His compassion and sympathy for the crowd by devoting the day to teaching them. His shepherd heart saw their He was also vitally interested in their physical necessities, The multitude had not thought of the |and advance the Kingdom of God upon that green grass with their varie- gated costumes) demonstrated His in- terest in the physical needs of the masses. The Master's executive ability, the thoughtfulness of Christ for the weak ones and His plans of conserva- tion, shown in saving the fragments, so that nothing be lost, was made the foundation of & movement to make Jesus King. If the Master had mnot crushed that movement in its begin- ning, the people would have made Him their leader in an effort to free them- | selves from the Roman government, | who had crushed them and destroyed | their liberty. { Jesus was disappointed at their not understanding the real meaning of His | miracle. He longed for them to under- stand that He was the source of their spiritual life and blessing them with all power. He did in a short time, what He is constantly doing, for it ix God who gives the increase to the seed and increases the food supply for the world, vet too many are forgetting that they owe Him thanks for their daily bread and the blessings of life. It is only as we co-operate with the Lord, just as the lad and the apostles did, that we can make our lives a complete success. Our great prosperity as a people and our place among the nations demands that we should recognize that we have this power, not for our own use, but to help among men. ‘The greatest want in this world today is a spiritual need of Jesus as the Savior and Leader of Men. He calls upon all to remember that He stands ready to meet their physical and spirit- ual needs if they will seek His aid. Let us not forget what He said, am the bread of life.” He is the only One| that can satisfy, sustain and strengthen | our physical, mental and spiritual life, Our dally struggle should not be for the | bread that perishes, but for the bread | of eternal life. Material prosperity and power perishes. Let us all seek Jesus, who is the bread of life, and work for | spiritual blessings that endure and not for the power that perishes. DR.

VIENNA, March 10—On the spot where Balthasar Hubmaler, one of the | early Anabaptists of the Christian | Church, was burned alive for his re- ligious beliefs 400 years ago, Baptists from the United States and Europe today commemorated his martyrdom. Led by Dr. James H. Franklin, foreign secretary of the American Baptist | Forelgn Mission Soclety, of New York. they placed wreaths and flowers in the | Erdberg quarter of Vienna, where, dur- | ing the reign of Emperor Ferdinand I. Hubmaler “gave his life that religion might live.” The group of American and foreign Baptists then _dropped memorial wreaths on the Danube River nearby, vhere, three days after Hubmaler's martyrdom, his wife was drowned for supporting ‘her husband’s bellefs. Welcomed by President. President Hainisch of Austria later received and welcomed the visiting Baptists, who expressed appreciation for Austria’s present religious toleration. The remainder of the day was given to sermons and lectures on Hubmaier's life. Various speakers recalled that four centurles ago he was publicly conveyed | through the streets of Vienna on a wheelbarrow and burned at the stake | because he ‘“persisted in believing in Anabaptism and rejected the con-| fession.” The martyr died in terrible | agony after his beard and hair were | saturated with sulphur and the toreh | The Baptist observance is the third | the first two decades of the century. In 1909, Calvinists celebrated the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin and unvelled at Geneva a monument to him, John Knox, Oliver Cromwell and leaders of the movement in other nations. Lutherans in 1918 took cognizance of the quadricentennial of Martin Luther's act in posting his 95 theses on the church door in Wit~ tenberg. Hubmaler met death by the edict of Prince Ferdinand of Austria, who also was King of Bohemia and Mo- ravia. Previously when they had fled Germany and sought asylum with the reformer Zwingll, then in power in Switzerland, Hubmaler had been racked into renouncing his views on Infant baptism. Flees to Moravia, But he found asylum in Moravia, and again took up the preaching of that doctrine, coupling 1t with declarations of soul liberty and separation of church and state, and with denunciations of unconverted church membership, tran- substantiation and the use of force in matters of bellef. He was credited with converting between 6,000 and 10,000 Moravians 0 Anabaptist bellef within a single_year.
