Looking back on the first winter

merely to keep him placated and

Senator Bailey. He apparently be

In The Here and Now
Bv Rev. Nor via C. Duncan
ANOTHER of the impossible
things in the Bible is recorded
in St. -Matthew 15:34-38. It is the
miracle of the feeding of five
thousand men and an unknown
number of women and children.
Jesus and his disciples were in a
desert place. A great multitude
had followed. Evening came and
all were tired and hungry. There
was the oldest" of life's problcrns
the problem of feeding. The dis
ciples, looked at' five loaves, two
fishes, and then at the multitude.
They were in despair, and were
for sending them home. Jesus' said,
"Give ye them to eat." We can al
most hear their gasps of astonish
ment. "Feed them on what? This is a
desert place," they replied. Their
mistake was in looking at the
loaves and fishes, themselves, and
the desert. They should have look
ed at Jesus. In Him they would
have seen sufficient for all their
needs. When they start cooperat
ing with Him, something happens.
Power is being brought to a hu
man problem, a human need. The
multitude was fed. They went
away satisfied.
The power that made the stars,
the power that filleth ajl living
things with plenteousness could
easily converge that power upon
particular needn. Human need,
human insufficiency, are things
acles of the Bible are tame besid
the miracles in nature." The true
scientist is following a pathway to
God, but he is reverent amongst
the wonders which he discovers.
God's sufficiency awaits man's
simple, trusting obedience. Think
of the faith of that multitude sit
ting down for a meal, and five
loaves and two fishes in sight. But
they had caught some vision of
the man Jesus, and they knew that
something would , happen even
though they could not understand..
And that is the supreme need of :
the world today.
It does seem that when we have
seen with our own eyes the fail
ure of the world's bread that we
rnnUI nntr turn in tructinor faith
to God. We must have faith to
believe that God can feed us in the
desert, heal the most terrible iof
diseases, raise the dead, before
we can. really live in the common
places of life. It is the trusting
to human efficiency arid failure to
rely upon the power of God, which
is at the bottom of our troubles
nr., . .1.. k..nJ
of this world, but it is written '
everywhere in life, if man will but
open his eyes to read, that man
shall not live by bread alone, but
by the eternal Bread which came
down from heaven.

A Natural Development
Regardless of the authority -for
the report that Morrison would put
