ORD, what a change within us one short hour We kneel how weak! We rise how full of power!
Spent in Thy presence will prevail to make! Why, wherefore should we do ourselves this wrong,
What heavy burdens from our bosoms take, Or others, that we are not always strong.
What parched grounds revive, as with a shower! That we are ever overborne with care;
We kneel, how weak! We"rise, how full of power! That we should ever weak or heartless be,
We rise, and all the distant and the near; Anxious or troubled, when with us in prayer;
Stands forth a sunny outline brave and clear. And joy, and strength, and courageare with Thee !-R. C. T.

I think your readers would like to
hear from the 'Pentecostal Church of
the Nazarene. of Greeley, Colo. On -
.. January 27th we held our first annual
meeting. We organized with twenty-
nine charter members. During the
year twenty-eight were
added 'to the Ch.urch.
Two of the saints were called to.
their reward, 1eav:ing us with a mem-
bership of fifty-seven at the end of
the first year.
The year was 'full of labor, interest
and victory. Some very striking
cases of conversion an.d sanctification
are the indication of God's favor and
blessing.
We began the . .Lord's.,.. work .in a --
. , hall.. Our first move was from a hall
to a hall and from this hall to a large
tent, which having burned at a los.s
of $500, we were .hauled into another
hall, and. then in the good
of God, on the Sunday we
were a year old, the Lord hauled us
into a nice, neat, new church, the
size of which is 32 by 52 feet. Happy
in our new home, we are planning for
and expecting success in winning
souls from sin to God; holiness and .
heaven. rREV. J. W. KI.NG,. Pastor.

. . The tuition is put at a very low
rate, in order to place these privileges
within reach of all, which necessitates
the strictest economy being practiced.
With a limited pocket-book and provi-

those in charge to prepare for a fam-

I have been thinking how we as a

lifting these burdens, which those in

for them.
Their interest as expressed
in their gifts of money and necessa-

INTRODUCTORY.
Since the healing in Bethesda, it is gen-
erally understood that about a year has
passed. Jesus is again in Galilee. Tpe
Sermon on the :Mount it is . thought was
preac!1ed this year. Some call this the'
Year of DeYelopmcnt. Matt. 4:12-H;

while Jesus is busy in Galilee.
. COMMENTS.
"Saw a great company come unto hiril."
There was a p9pular awakening to sec
Jesus, witness his signs and miracles, and
to hear his words . . There was a rea l '' word
f amine.'' It wa s a ''desert place,'' and
.the people were hungry. The compassion-
ate hea rt of .Jesus longed t o Stipp!)" their
need. He who could . w.ork apart from men
would usc whom he <>ould. Philip, likely
the company treasurer, needed ht>lp at
this So .Jesus begins with him.
"W1uSnce shall we buy bread?" Philip
only faces tl!c problem in the realm of
natural wa\s and means. Somcwav his
Yision coulci not the possigllitics
of faith. His t>Yl' S seem .' ' hold,n, ' ',though
he had se<'ll so many of his Lord 's

he "prond him."
estimate is a necessary step in order to'
salvation. No man seeks a Savior until
he finds lie is lost.
"Jesns knew.what he would do.". He
knew what was in man, and pilin.ned t;o.
.compass needs, and lead up into a
life.
"Andrew . said nntq, him." An-
drew is ready to help. Jesus works into

About 5000.'' Add the women aiid

"Gave thanks." No eating by our
Savior without the giving. of thanks. The
lesson is evident.
"Distributed among them." It matters
not where the multiplication of the brea<l
took place, whether in .Jesus' bands, or in
tho hands of the disciples or the
line. I like to think of Jesus loading np

'Baskets:' The wallets of the
disd plcs. As Jesus shows his estimate of
by having the promiscuous
;mass "sit down in ;companies," so here
he . shows his value of economy, ' ' let
nothing be lost.''
''This is of a truth that prophet that
should come into the world.'' The miracle
con,ii:tee'd ' the peopl e.
"Of a. truth." is, doubt about
it. Afterwards, on th1s ev1dencc that ho
was "that prQphet," an evidence only
that he was equal to Elijah, or one of the
prophets, they wanted to make him a king .
of a temporal kingdom. Jesus could not
go to Calvary on as low a conception of
him!!elf as this. Compare Peter 's '' thou
art the Christ of God."
SEED FOR THE SOWER. ,
(1) Jesus cares for our t emporal needs.
He cares when we a rc weary and hungry
and sick: (2) He has compassion for us
and is full of sympathy. (3) He reaches
our higher needs often through our mate"
rial needs. . ( 4) He uses human co-opera-
tion in carrying forward his plans. Be-
tween himself a nd the hungry multitude
were the busy habds and feet of the tlis-
ciplcs. Here they pass lhe bread and
meat. At Can a of Galilee they "Fill tho
water pots and bear . the Governor.''
