FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND LESSON TEXT—John • » ». M M MEMORY SELECTION—I am that Bread as life -Jobs • <• > I Bread' The cry of the hungry peoples of the world for bread haa 1 remuxied us anew that it is the ( simple and elemental thm<» of life 1 which ar* of moat importance ’ Bread, water, light—auch things i man cannot do without How significant then that our Lord declared himaelf to be the bread of life (John 8 35 '. the satisfying water (John 4 14/. and the light of the world (John 8:13>. , 1 Our leaaon doea not deal with the ; feeding of the five thousand, but the story of that miracle of our Lord ia the background for the discourse on the bread of life which is aaaigned for our atudy. It is one of the most delightfully simple, yet unfathom- , ably profound, portions of Scripture. The story of how our Lord multi- ( plied the loaves and fishes of a small boy’s lunch and ted the multi- ’ tude presents him as the Creator ( and Sustainer of all things. The people having been fed. wanted to take Jesus and make him their King (John • 15), so he went over the Sea of Galilee to Capernaum ■" But he could not get away from •' them, for they followed him thither. « Meeting them he gave them the instruction they so much needed a* u he effectively contrasted the temporal and earthly with the eternal | and heavenly. I I. The Bread of Earth sod the Bread of Heaven (W. 25-27). They sought Jesus not that they 1 might receive spiritual blessings, but that their stomachs might be v filled (v. 26). It was not a high a motive, but an understandable one Hunger, or the fear of hunger, threatens so many of the people of this earth that one does not find It in hi* heart to condemn them too severely. Yet it was a low motive and one which caused them to entirely , mis* the greatest and most blessed provision of God for their every ( need. The bread of thir earth, bearing the imprint of a human maker. f| would soon leave them hungry . again, and eventually they would die. The bread of heaven, bearing the seal of the Father (v. 27>. j would fully satisfy them for all eternity. Note th* folly of those who labor for th* reward which this world can give, but who neglect their eternal welfare (v. 27). How foolish, too, is the Christian who spends his whole life and his talents in the J pursuit of money and invests little I or nothing of time or ability in the service of God' 11. Th* Wark es Men and the Berk of God (vv. 28 33). Entang'ed a* they were In earthly thing* and desire*, they seemed for a moment to react: out toward , the thing* of God Jesua had been talking about everlasting life and the bread from heaven; they want-1 ed to know what they could do to merit and receive It. It is quite typical of man even to j this day that he think* ther* must be some way that he can com* through to eternal blessedness by way of his own work*. We shall see how effectively Jesus dealt with that folly! The <e>ly work that man can do to meet God's first demands end Inherit eternal life is to believe in Christ (v. 29). Men want to add up works of penance, work* of charity. deed* of righteousness, character development, the observance of religious tradition* and cere-! monies, 'he off Ting of prayer*, and x> on without end. Jesus sweeps aside all this with m.e brief word, saying in effect, "It is not a qu«a---1 on of do. it is a matter of believe.” Work* is not the answer to any ' spiritual need, but faith in Christ. We miirt trust God and believe in th* One whom h« has sent; then wo are ready to go out and do his will! They (ye*, and we too) must now face th* alternative 111.

It will not be used if you prefer t hat it i not be. For the Hospital Editor Daily liemocrat In the beginning of this article,! I wish to drop a word of praise for our home town paper. Decatur Daily Democrat, by stating that I 'hink it i* one of the best small town pa|M-rs in the state. Another organization that falls into the same category is the Adams county Memorial hospital On several occassions 1 have visited sick friends and relatives at , this institution of mercy and from I personal observation. I <au not | write .mytiiing but glowing praise.. for tile way this hospital is being i managed. When we take into I consideration the heavy burden that ail hospitals are working un j der iwcause of an over crowded condition and the c omparatively i ■nuUl staff of nurses that mu*i ' take care of so many patient*. I have often marveled at the excellent care that patients are rc-civ-itig i hav seen nurses that were nearly exhausted with that tired look that comes from over work and nervous tension, going from sick room to sick room with a smile on their face as they ap proached their patients with a kind word of encouragement. Now anyone who knows the conditions ih.ct are a national result from the terrible war that otir nation has so recently gone thru which is lieing reflectecl in all of our American way of life will take the responsibility of trying to the efforts of an organization that has built up such * wonderful reputation In this and adjoining states. It is mi inhuman and cruel that Hie charges hurled against ■ (he Memorial hospital fell like a ■ bomb shell and public resent mem against tile unreformed reformers, is being expressed With deep iudignation everywhere because a man should practice what he preaches Some time ago I read an article IH-lined in -mil beautiful langiiage in "tiie |s-oples voice" column of ; the Daily Demen rat which portrayed our county which were the words of Charles Brock veteran business man. a* he described in glowing terms the excellent care he received while a patient at the Memorial hospital He characterized the nurses a- being ailg* Is of mercy and he further descrilted the IH-autiful landscape as he saw it from his sick room, the appreciative thoiightfuluees of such an intelligent kind hearted man. make up the inspiration whidi inspires over worked mir-es to carry on from day to day in earing for the sick and suffering humanity. I recently interviewed an old lady she h cd passed the four score mile stone on her journey of life, she spent over three months in the* memorial hospital recovering from a broken hip She said how kind she had been tip-ated by the nurse- Hfce couldn't praise enough the excellent care and food she received during this long stay In the hospital. laast evening .Mani* Jones, a neighbor wh</ was taken to tile hospital in a very critical condition. told me how the nurses during all hours at night, would gently o|h>ii the door and look into her room to see if she was alright. She said she couldn’t find words that would adequately describe how well she wa* treated These testimonial* are only a few from the hundreds that I have recently had the privilege of hearing as space will not |H*rmit I will not repeat any more. Now from an ntibia«*d Impartial point of view lets look at the other side of the picture. No sane person will say that minor unavoidable irregularities do not occur in the very best managed hospitals. but this should lie no ensue for hurling t»esnilrking scathing blistering charges against the personel or such irregularities should Im- taken care of in a more human and orderly way. I think the charges that were hurled against the Memorial hospital thru the public press wsa the most arro gent, insolent. stupid report that has ever been laildisbed In our county. To the nurse# ana personal of Memorial hospiUl I wish to pea these words Keep your chin up put your heart and soul into your work, do the tiest you cun under exist Ine coudltiona. as you should be encouraged by tbe tact Usaf

Bovine Dec atur. Ind. R. R 5 Boy Tells Attempt To Kill Grandfather 14-Year-Old Boy Says Attempt Deliberate Auburn. Ind. Feb 7.—(t'P) A fourteen year-old eighth grader today recounted how he deliberately planned to kill hi* 62fearold grandfather because he couldn’t use the family car “to run around with the older fellow*." lacwrence Hootman earlier had told sberiffa officers that he shot Roy C. Thomas through the neck, then clubbed him with the gun because he wanted "to see bow he | would act if I shot him and just to see how it would feel." Sheriff Frank C. Carpenter said the boy was eating and sleeping well in the DeKalb county jail and gave little thought to the grand ' father in a hospital a few mile*! away in Hicksville. Ohio The sheriff said Imwrenc* "couldn’t say he was sorry" he had ' attempted to take his grand father's life in the barn Tuesday evening. Officials are holding the boy on an open charge until Thomas' con dition is determined. He reported "im’irovep" from tbe skull fracture and the bullet which lodged in ills neck. The boy told authorities that he feigned sickness .Monday and stayed home all day to plan "just hog to get rid of granddad." The pre liniinaries had been taken care of —he’d "swiped’’ a 22 caliber rifle I from his uncles car Sunday Tuesday evening after the milking chores lie “went through with it." then ran away to Hicksville while his grandfather crawled into the house.
