In the early spring of the third year of his ministry. Christ and his disciples were preaching along the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

When they left the boat and came to the land, they found that a great multitude had assembled and was waiting for them. So Jesus took compassion upon them and spoke to them as they sat about in the amphitheater formed by the land. As twilight drew near, the disciples said: "The place is desert. The day is far spent. Let them go and buy food in the villages for themselves.”

Hovt . i One of the most important events in the life of Jesus during the brief four years which preceded his death at the hands of the mob was the selection of the twelve men who were to carry his work into foreign lands in future years. Jesus selected them slowly and carefully. Some had come to him from John the Baptist. Some were brought to him by others. Some were his followers because they listened to him and were converted. But each and every one of them had been with Jesus through the years and had been tested under varied conditions. Thon, when he had seen them with him and the time at last was at hand. , Jesus selected twelve disciples ( who were to be known as the | apostles. But even with tl.e experiences they had undergone, Jesus did not send them forth until they were prepared. He instructed them in what they were to do. He dispatched them on trail missions. When they returned, he kept hem with him while he preached and healed, that they might profit the more, or retired with them to quiet places for consultation. And so well did he prepare them tha' all with but one exception carried on to the end, which was death. Preparations and organization are watchwords today exactly as they were years ago in the regions of Galilee. We must be properly prepared to meet the crisis when it comes. We must be organized j that we may function to the best i advar’age with the minimum of j effort. The man who realizes ] this —whether he be employer or employee —is the one who will I make a success of life.

"Give them to eat,” Jesus commanded. "Shall we buy two hundred shillings worth of bread?” was the reply. "How many loaves have ye?” Jesus asked of them. "We have five loaves and two fishes." came the answer. "Let them sit upon the ground, Jesus commanded. So the great company sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties, and under the direction of the discipies, awaited Jesus’ action.

He went to Nazareth. , where he was rejected for a sec- • I ond time. John the Baptist was . ( executed. . j In April 29 A. D„ the third . year of Christ’s ministry, on the . northeast shore of Galilee near , Bethsaida. : ( 3. The twelve returned from ■ 11 he'r apostolic journey and wish- • (ed to report what they had aci i cotnpllslied. Jesus told them to ; ; come apart with him where they i might rest and commune. 4 They sailed away on a fish- ■ ing boat but the multitude ran along tlie shore about the bay and were waiting to greet them when they landed. 5. The multitude were eager to listen to the teachings of Jesus, bo lie ordered them to seat them- . selves in a natural amphitheater' and spoke to them. 6. As nightfall came, the dis ( i ciples urged that Jesus dismiss I (the gathering that they might go ! to some of the village in 'f'be distance and purchase food. Jesus ordered them fed. but there was ( no food excepting five loaves and ] two fishes. ' i 7. Andrew, in going through the crowd, had found a small boy ' who had five loaves and two ' fishes, which he had brought with him for lunch. 8. The loaves were small cakes of coarse barley bread, much smaller than our loaves. They j were, in fact, almost a biscuit or > a roll, flat and circular in shape, j 9. Jesus ordered the multitude , to sit in companies of hundreds l and fifties. This they did. They i i took their places and he blessed I I the loaves and fishes. His disci pies divided the loaves and ho did ( like-wise with the fishes. There was enough to feed the entire gathering. 10. There were 5,000 men fed in addition to what women and children were present When all had been satisfied there were left twelve baskets of broken pieces, both of ’he bread and the fish.

Jesus took the five loaves and the two fishes. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to distribute after he had blessed them. The two fishes he divided himself. The supply of food increased miraculously. Though the multitude of 5,000 men ate their fill and were satisfied, twelve basketfuls of broken bread and fishes were gathered up when they had broken their fast.

To Adams Counfy Farmers The Central Sugar Company of Decatur would like to have at least 3,000 acres of beets raised in Adams County. Up to date less than , 2,000 acres have been contracted in this county. Fieldmen are calling on Adams County farmers this week and every effort will me made to see those who are interested in beet raising. The success of the acreage campaign is assured, because in many counties farmers wish to raise more beets than the quota assigned to the county. For instance, in Van Wert county, Ohio and in Allen county. Indiana, contracts total about 2,500 each and fieldmen state 3,000 acres can be obtained in each county. Local farmers, company officials point out, can raise beets cheaper than farmers in other counties, because of lower trucking charges to the mill. "tEefore the campaign closes the sugar company wishes to give Adams county farmers first chance to contract. If interested will you please till out the coupon below and mail it to the local office. A representative will be sent to explain the contract and other questions pertaining to labor, furnishing of tools, fertilizer and seed. CENTRAL SUGAR COMPANY, Decatur.

Thompson “And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, “Write, blessed are the dead which lie in the Lord.” They are more biest than we,— , These loved ones who go away; Once they put out to sea, They sail into endless day. No sorrows theirs, nor fears, Their pain and anguish done; Rapture replaces tears, As their ship draws nearer home.

We gods of the land, we make our kings, And unmake them too, with a “bang;” If they’re luckey we rise and shout and sing. If not, we just tell them “go hang." ’ You silly tin gods who rant and boast, 1 Os the power in you resident; I'm rising today to offer a toast, To the man. Our President. t o i 1 NOTICE —Mrs. M.
