Jesus was now at the height of his popularity The material lie blessings such us the mircnloue feeding of the five thousand the many ministries of he.tlfng made him popular The ihought of Jesus in physical terms was about to be Masted by his emphasis on attaining eternal life by the way of faith, involving sacrifice and his death. V 25. "And when they hud found him on the other side of the sea. they eaid Rabbi, when earnest thou hit her'’" The multitude fed With the loaves and fishes were seeking him for more physical blessings. Many who have material blessings still want more, reaching a luxury age So answered Jeeu« In the following Verse V. 27. "Labour not for the meat which perisheth. but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life, whit h the Son of man shall give unto you. for him hath the Father sealed." Christ's aim was to teach the way of eternal life; this 1 caHs for spiritual food seen in hie 1 teachings; to thia, the miracle of feeding the five thousand was a seal of his claim to lie the Hon of Cod

V 28. "Then raid they unto him. What shall w«- do. that *>' might j work tbr works of G >d?' The work* I of God «r»- all tluao* things that! are pleasing to God. The Inquirers' thought in term* of earning cap-1 ■city placing the main emphasis on doing V 29. "Jesus answered ami said unto them.

What sign showeth thou then, that we may see. and believe thee? What dost thou work?” The question showed Insincerity since they had sufficient evidence In the mir-1 a«l<e Jesus hid performed to furn f«h the required faith in him.

Nine years ago. when Hitler called for oltedfance to Ltinself and his program. Pastor Ntemoellsp with other German ministers declared that their first oliedience was Christ: and In this obedience a brotherly attitude to all people including the Jews was maintained Because of this declaration Pastor Niemoeller was considered a menace to Germany's welfare and was placed in concentration maps. He would not yield to any of Hitler'u demands that were unchristian; but he was a consistent Christim In all his Imprisonment and had such an influence on those about him that sometimes orders from the government for hto persecution,. were not carried out.

in the desert; as it is written. He gave them bread from heaven to 1 eat." This reply discounted Christ feeding the multitude just once whereas for forty years the Israelites were fed with manna. One who ' dkH-otints or discredits Christ never has saving faith in Chi Ist. VB2 "Then said Jesus unto them. Verily, verily. I say unto you. Moses gave you not that bread from heaven. bitt my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven." 'The manna was the gitt of God. not of .Moses, and hence that miracle was no true buds for the expectation of a similar mi.acle. or. indeed, for 1 any sign from the Messiah , V 33. "For the I.read of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto lite world." As material bread can sustain physical life, so Christ, the true bread. la>th gives and sustains the spiritual life of all who will partake of him. V 34, "Them said they unto him, ' Lord evermore give us this bread." i Life they wanted; bread from heaven they asked for; but when the I terms on which this life could lie received were presented to them, they turned their backs and went uway. So many will not pay the price of salvation. V 35 And Jesus aald unto them, I I am the bread of life; he that come«h io me shall never hunger; and , he that believeth on me shall never thirst." Continued fe-ding upon I him means the constant satisfaction of the deepest longings of the soul.

V. 56. "He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in nim." The person, ‘who. in a mystical sense tn which Christ is speaking, feed* upon him. i lias austai.ied fellowship with him ithrough the indwelling of the Holy i Spirit. V 57. "As the living Father hath j sent me. and I live by tile Father; uo he that f-nteth me. eten he .hall live in me." The life-imparting union between Christ and the believer, VSB "This is the biead which cane down from heaven; not as Iyour fathers did eat :itanna and are dead; he that eaietb of thia bread shall never die " Here Is I God's plan for us to live on higher I level.

SENTENCE APPEALS Hundiy well Agent Includes attetidence at a chureh service. The Christian religion has done more for mankind than any other element in the world's history. Your l»est Interest comes from your share in a Christian Church. The time spent In a service of worship 51 (or the highest good of the soul. How you spend Sunday as spectacular and does pot contain as much hardship as a chaplaincy overseas, bnt It la vastly important. These wounded veterans should htve our sympathies and prayers and best efforts. The United Church of Japan, the Kyodan. is planning a three-year evangelistic campaign to win 3.000000 converts. The best di swing card for the movement is Kagawa who is winning 50 converts dally. So gieat is the evangelistic appeal that the halls are not large enough to hold the throngs. Sixty thousand Soviet citizens were baptized into the Baptist taith during last summer, according to a letter recently received by Dr. I* D. Newton, president of the Southern Baptist Convention from leaders of the Union of Evangelical Christian Baptista in the U.S 8R . it was announced here by the American Society for Russian relief. which last August sponsored a trip to the Soviet Union by Dr Newton and six other prominfnt Americans. a ■ A little power in the hsnda of a »mall person can make much! trouble. o

The Way to Industrial Peace Only one thing remains to be added—the most Important thing In achieving Industrial peace it to realize the terrible urgency of the joh Everybody who ba* been Working in the field-executives, union leaders, government official*, and research workena-knows that we have a very short time In which to do the work, maybe five, maybe ten. hardly as much at twenty-five years. We have the opportunity today to build u structure of industrial peace and paitnership. We have the knowledge to do the Job, and in spite of antiiabor employers and union demagogues, in spite of the bit terne* and shock caused by the greed and hysteria of the last year. w» still have a lot of good will on both sides. But if we do not act soon, our industrial society is likely to become frozen in • pattern of permanent war. with rigidly drawn class lines of conflict. Neither free enterprise nor free government could survive long if our industrial society should de flict.—Harpers.
