I. Jesus' Invitation to the Weary
Disciples <vv. 31, 32).
The apostles had Just returned
from an evangelistic tour In Gali-
lee with a report of what they
had done and taught. Their minis-
try occasioned no little stir. Besides,
Jesus Himself continued to preach.
As a result of their combined min-
istry, the commotion was so great
that there was uo opportunity for"
resting or eating. In such a time of8
.need Jesus invited His disciples to'
retire from the crowd and rest In
order to do this they departed pri-
vately by ship for a desert place.
Periods of withdrawal from the
crowd In fellowship with the Lord
are necessary after evangelistic cam-
paigns. They serve a double purpose.
1. To get the eyes of the ministers
off themselves and their work.
2. To prevent despondency for
their failures.
II. Jesus Teaching the Ignorant
Multitude (vv. 33, 34).
Thronged by the people (v. 33).
The wonderful words and works of
the Lord and His disciples brought
the multitudes to them. To escape
the throng they took their departure
for' a desert place (v. 32). Seeing
the' Lord and His disciples depart,
the people from the surrounding
cifeips anticipated their landing place,
and.. proceeding thither, welcomed
the ship upon Its arrival.
2. The Lord moved with compas-
sion (v. 34).
instead of becoming Irritated by
the Intrusion of the crowd His heart
whs moved with pity. His personal
Interests were forgotten as the needs
of the shepherdless sheep pressed
npon His notice, therefore Be began
to teach them many things. Jesus Is
now the same compassionate Savior,
touched with the feelings of our In-
flnjjJUes (Heb. 4:15).
III. Jesus Feeding the Hungry Mul-
titude (vv. 35-44).
X Conference with the disciples
fvv, 85-38).
• (1) The disciples request that the"
multitude be sent to the surrounding
villages to buy bread (v. 36). Accord-
It^ to Matthew, Christ made the
proposition that the multitude be fed
J(M8tL 14:16). (2) Jesus commands
them to feed the multitude (v. 87).
(3) The disciples' perplexity (v. 37).
They began to calculate as to the
amount of provisions required. They
asked the Lord whether they should
go and buy two hundred pennyworth
of bread. Their perplexity was due
to the fact that they were depending
upon their own resources instead of
Christ To be face to face with the
humanly Impossible has a threefold
benefit (a) It makes us realize our
dependence upon Christ; (b) Drives
us to Him for help In our need; (c)
Leads us to give Him the glory for
the results. Though our ability to
teach, preach or to give, be meager,
when coupled with the Lord's ability,
it Is equal to any demand.
2. Jesus' method In feeding the
multitudes (vv. 39-44).
(1) The Lord's part This was to
Issue Instructions as to the method
of procedure and to create the pro-
vision. Thorgh they had but five
loaves and two fishes He so increased
them that tlie need of the hungry
multitude was met
(2) The disciples' part Tbey were
to have the people sit down In com-
panies so as to facilitate distribu-
tion. They then took that which the
! Master had blessed and distributed
;it to the people. The disciples' re-
sponsibility was not for the creation
el the provision, but for Its distribu-
tion to the people. (3) The people's
part Their part was not to create,
nor distribute, but obediently to sit
idown and partake of the provision.
;Even after the bread had been blessed
J by the Lord and distributed by the
; disciples, they would have famlRbed
with hunger had they not partaken
of the food. Unless the people re-
ceive Jesus Christ and the salvation
which He has provided they shall
eternally starve. The Lord has done
\ His part. The disciples are under
► solemn obligation to do their part
and the final responsibility rests upon
the people.
We call the attention of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association to the case
of Mr. Washkowsky of Brooklyn. Mr.
Washkowsky «4s l. 'rd working and
thrifty, but like :*« many of us his
•! n-itlon Is d« f wive; w'.io is to blame
fur that we don't know. Mr. Wash-
kowsky has been saving a part of
his weekly w ' tos for a long time, but
hadn't told Warhkowaky where
he was depositing Ik's nest egg. That
was a mistake, probably, but an in-
quiry Into it belongs to another branch
of education with which it is probable
,the bankers..*..^elation cannot be held
to have any concern.
But wiiU Mr. Washkowsky's de-
pository It has. He chose for that
purpose an old shoe. He kept the
shoe and, its mate In his closet, and
up to the other day had tucked away
In one of them savings amounting to
$350. On that same other day Mrs.
Waahkowsky, rummaging Mr. Wash-
kowsky's closet like a good house-
wife, seeking what she could throw
away or transfer to another place
where Mr. Washkowsky couldn't find
it, as is the habit of good housewives,
found this same pair of old shoes. We
suppose she said to herself, Mr. Waah-
kowsky not being present to have it
said to him, "Isn't that Just like a
man?" and acting thereupon just like
a woman Bhe sent the shoeB to the
cobbler to be repaired. It was either
that or the ash barrel for them, and
being frugal and Mr. Washkowsky pay-
ing the cobbler bills anyway, she sent
them to the cobbler.
A distraught man was Mr. Wash-
kowsky when he next went to make a
deposit In his old shoe. "What new
place," he asked in that martyr tone
affected by husbands on similar oc-
casions, "have you found for my old
shoes?" Mrs. Washkowsky told him,
expecting to be praised for her
thoughtfulness. Women—but that's
another branch of education.
Mr. Washkowsky went to the cob-
bler and found his shoes, but not the
money, which we cannot but feel ia
not remarkable. We hope he will find
It, but he hasn't yet which again
should cause no astonishment
But what we would like to hear
from the American Bankers Associap
tion Is what stepB it is taking to dia
courage people of magpie habits from
keeping their money in stoves, shoes,
mantle clocks, behind wall picture*,
under floor boards and similar places.
We have made no exact calculation,
but from casual evidence we a^e In-
clined to7 Bfilleve thgjre are enough
funds hidden dway in such places in
this enlightened and progressive Coun-
try to pay off the national debt Not
that we advise paying it off, because
that would leave congress nothing to
fuss with Mr. Mellon about; but if de-
posited In banks our banker might
have some to lend when we need it,
which he now never has; he says
money is very scarce. We hold it is
not; it Is merely in Mr. Washkowsky's
ghoe.
Seeing that we have been pursuing
education, or something called that
for several centuries, we cannot bnt
feel this is a bad showing and that
the bankers association is somehow
responsible. It hasn't sufficiently im
pressed on the people that it has
banks and what they are for. Mr.
Washkowsky hasn't heard. And there
are a lot of him in this country.—

(Address, by Dr. Wm. R. Cathcaft.)
The industry with which I am con-
nected sincerely appreciates the op-
portunity to confer with your organ-
ization upon problems in which we
are mutually interested. Frankness
compels me to say I bear no appeal
from the corn products industry. I
wish to set before you certain con-
ditions to which I have given much
thought. It will be for you to de-
termine what and if any action is to
be taken by your organization in your
own interest. We are prepared and
eager to co-operate as to "How the
consumption of corn can "be increas-
ed"—the subject alloted a part of
your time.
Broadly, this question may be an-
swered by extending the uses and
therefore increasing the demand for
products derived from corn. These
uses may be divided into industrial
and nutritional.
The list of industries using products
derived from corn is already large.
The amounts consumed are increasing
as these industries expand and grow.
Corn products manufacturers are un-
ceasingly on the lookout for new and
broader application.
, Corn Sugar.
Corn sugar, so called, because made
from corn, offers an immediate and
direct outlet for at least twenty mil-
lion bushels of corn annually in ad-
dition to what is now being consumed,
just as soon as governmental author-
ities give official recognition and sanc-
tion to this sugar and place it upon
