Excerpt from A Manual for Sundays: A Few Thoughts for Each Sunday, of the Church's YearIN the miracle of to-day's Gospel, as in all the other miracles wrought by our lord, there is a remarkable mingling together of the divine and the human. It is His almighty power that increases the food, and makes it grow under His hand, so as to feed a multitude, but He demands the gift of the store that His disciples had, before He will put forth His creative force. There is enough, and more than enough, for the host of hungry men and women, but He will have all orderly' seated, in ranks and bands, before He gives them a morsel. And when the feast is over, He will have no waste. The frag ments are carefully collected, to serve for another day's needs. Each loaf and fish must pass through His hands, but the guests receive their portion from the hands of the disciples. Give ye them to eat, He had said at first, and He makes them do it at last. It is their bread, after all, and they are the distributors, their objections overruled, their ln ability corrected by His superior power.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
