THE K I N G ’ S BUS I NESS indeed, they were very happy that they could have a part in the great work. Just think of the boys and girls that do not know Jesus, and you know if we do not know Jesus our hearts, are sick because there is sin in them, and whenever you bring a boy or girl to Sunday School, and they learn of Jesus and take Him as their Saviour, you have had a part in saving them from being lost forever. Lots of boys and girls that do not know Jesus, would love Him and follow Him if they only knew Him. Jesus taught the people all that day and helped them for He could see right into their hearts and knew how much they needed to know Him, and that was the way Jesus rested. As the day was al most gone, and the sun began to go down, the disciples came to Jesus, and asked Him to send the people^home be fore night, as they were in a desert place, and there were no stores where they might buy food. Just listen what Jesus said. He told the disciples to give the people something to eat. I can just imagine how surprised these disci ples looked, for there was such a big crowd, they could not count them. The disciples went about among the people to see if there was any food, and came back to Jesus, and said there were only five loaves and two fishes, which a little boy had for his lunch (John 6:9). Je sus asked the disciples to have the peo ple sit down in groups on the grass. Then Jesus took the'five loaves and two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and thanked God for them. Then He broke the loaves in pieces, and gave them to the disciples; the fishes also He divided among them. The disciples passed the bread and fish out to all the people. Je sus made those few loaves and fishes to increase, as they were given to the peo ple, so that there was enough for them all. When the people had finished eating, Jesus asked the disciples to gather up what food was left, that nothing be wasted. (Teach memory verse). Just as Jesus helped the people and healed
We all eat bread, and- we remember - that bread is made BEGINNERS irom flour, and, the ÄND PRIMARY flour is made from Mabel L. Merrill wheat ground fine in a mill. The farmer sowed the wheat into ground which had been plowed and made ready for the good seed, and the rain and sunshine made it grow. Could the farmer make the wheat grow without the rain and sunshine? Who sends the rain and sunshine? Yes, God makes the wheat grow, so the bread we eat comes from God, and so He sends us food to make our bodies grow. Prayer. Lesson Story: (It will add interest to show a picture or represent on sand table, showing how Jesus and His disci ples crossed over lake in a boat, and the crowds walked around lake). Jesus and His. disciples were tired and so they got into a boat and crossed over the Sea of Galilee, so they might get away from the cities and the, people and spend, a quiet day together and rest. Now the people found out in ■some way just where Jesus was going, and even though, they did not have any boat to get across the Sea of Galilee, they started and walked around the shore until they came to the place where Jesus and His disciples had gone to rest. You can see it was quite a long walk, and there were many mothers carrying little ba bies, and some of the people carried their sick folks along also. When Je sus looked and saw the great number of people who had followed Him out of the cities, He felt sorry for them; even though He was there to rest. He went among the people, and when He found any that were sick, He made them well. O what a happy day for all those who had been sick, and had been made well and strong by Jesus’ power; and, chil dren, do you think the people who had walked so far and carried the sick ones were glad they had worked very hard to carry the sick ones to Jesus?
