One Leader Who Cared For Mankind’s Everyday Needs Some Sharp Contrasts Between Men’s Ways of Regarding Humanity’s Plight — The Miracle of Food for the Hungry.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS By WILLIAM T. ELLIS I have no interest in individuate," pompously declared a public official of the old order, to whom 1 came the retort, "Then you’ve got ahead of the Lord Almighty!" Diadain for people, "the common ! herd," the plain everyday folk who | make up the bulk of humanity, ia a first characteristic of the aristocrat. the snob aud the cynic. | Whereas the sure sign of the spirit ’ of Jesus in a person is concern for i ordinary men and women. Great souls rejoice in common folks and common ways; in the qualities of the general run of mankind; in their joys and sorrows, their ideals I and their heroisms. Some travellers delight to recount the differences between | themselves and the “natives" atnid whom they sojourn: and they describe themselves as heroes for undergoing what is the daily lot and life of myriads of other human beings. How silly and cheap and stupid! It is one with the age long blunder of petty spirits who : delight in setting themselves up as superior to their fellows. The Gospel of Labor Contrast the Jesus way, as our I Lesson sets it forth. Aristocracy i shuns crowds; Jesus lived close to I the multitudes. He even cared that the impertinent wonder seeking rabble were hunghy. His second greatest miracle, which today we study was wrought to fill the bellies of an improved multitude. The bread-and-butter problem is i the one thing that the whole world has in common. This perpetual question “What shall we eat?" was not too material or commonplace to be beneath the notice of the Son of God. Accredited by His calloused hands, and by His brotherly, understanding heart, Jesus of Nazareth is today the one acceptable ’leader of mankind out of the dire distress and disorder of the world. His passion for common people. His patience with us ordinary folk. His steadfastness to us when another in disgust would leave us to stew in our own juice — these are the qualifications which commend Christ to the commonalty of men and women as our day’s Deliverer and Hero. Friends Who Understand Sympathy sometimes sees straighter than scholarship. Erudition has often been befogged and bemired in theological questions concerning Jesus; but simple saints, men and women bent be- ; neath the burdens of life, have never lost their clear vision of i Christ as their best Friend and surest Leader and Sympathizing Saviour and one Revealer of God. There is a profound teaching for our own disorganized day in the solicitude of Jesus for the crowds; and in the swift sure perception of the masses that Jesus understand them and can satisfy their deepest aspirations. None of the mechanical schemes for' bringing antagonistic groups of society together, or for securing the supremacy of one over the other, is anything more than an aberration, a temporary expedient; whereas the Jesj us mode promises the permanence ; and peace of good will. Jesus gave first place to the ; claims of the crowd upon Him. He 1 thought of the weariness of tfiat host who had followed Him far a- ! foot, and who were weary, hot, i tired and hungry. Their uest for Him must have thrilled His compassionate heart. Every instinct of shepherdhood and Saviouihood was set vibrating by the spectacle lof a multitude in whom another would have beheld only a curious mob of sight-seers. There is a prevalent idea that this zeal for the people is a modern cult, a sort of socialism. Absurd! It is as old as the Bible; and it had its rise in the Spirit imparted to the friends and revealers of I the Father in Heaven. A hymn of i present popularity is "God Save I the People.” which was written by I Ebenezer Elliott about a hundred ( years ago: “When wilt Thou save » • • • « * * * * »•»»*»♦♦♦ ♦The Sunday School Lesson for March 13 is “Feeding the Hungry."—Mark 6:30-4. ,I • * * * * » * * *

the people? O God of mercy when? Not kings and lords, but nations, Not thrones nor crowns, but men Flowers of Thy heart, O God, are they, Let them not pass like weeds a-1 way, Let them not fade in sunless days. I God save the people.” Tethered by a Short Rope All of us, the most affluent and I the most ascetic, are tethered by a short run* to the primitive needs of the body. Saintless cannot subsist without food—though it needs ; less than gluttony. A physician has said: "It only takes one-third of what the average person eats to support life; the other two-thirds go to support the doctors." “Life is more than meat" — but it is also meat, as Jesus showed clearly in the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. In the presence of a hungry multitude. the disciples wanted to ; send them away. That very hum- ! an characteristic earned in the ar- ’ my the entitlement “Passing the I buck." Divest yourself of responsibility. But the way of the Master was I greater. “Give ye them to eat!” What a commandment for today. It Implies multiplied power as well as multiplied store. God’s servants are enabled by God’s commands. Why wait for world statesmen to satisfy the yearnings of the people “give ye them to eat"—right here i and now. in your own shop or off-1 ice or school or neighborhood. | There is satisfaction for human ills in the spiritual riches which Christians already possess. How the disciples must ha«e stared at the incredible command I of Christ! With five loaves and two small fishes they were to feed more than five thousand orientals, whose appetite at a free feast is proverbial. They could not see it; neither can a preacher see where he is going to get a thousand ser- ( mons in the next ten years; or a i writer where he is to find thousands of articles and ideas in the . I same time; or a homemaker how she is to cook more than ten thou-1 sand meals in ten years, or sew on thousands of buttons, or scrub sac- ■ es times beyond counting, or wash ■ countless thousands of dishes. Nevertheless, the principle that applied to the disciples still prevails; Go ahead with your duty; you possess more than you know. ■ i Trust yourself for larger things, and trust God whose word you oI bey.
