I. Jesus’ Compassion for the Multi-
tude (vv. 1-5. cf. Matt. 14:14). The
sight of the crowd always incited the
Lord’s sympathy. He knew that they
were as shepherdless sheep (Mark
6:34). They were going forth with no
one to care for them. Besides, they
were ignorant, so- much so that they
had no appreciation of Him. Added
to this, was their awful physical hun-
ger. This condition roused the

Cecil Shirley of Nacogdoches has
been appointed a deputy in the of-
fice of the clerk of the Supreme
Court to fill the vacancy caused by
resignation of Carl Lyda, who has
been apointed law clerk in the of-
fice of Associate Justice T. B.
Savior’s pity. This is true of the mul-
titude today. The crowd surges about
us daily as shepherdless sheep. There
is no one to care for them. Then, too,
they are ignorant. Sin has so thor-
oughly-blinded them that they are not
conscious of their lost condition.
Down deep in their hearts is a hunger
for truth and God. The millions of
earth are hungering for Christ, though
ignorant of their real needs.
II. The Lord’s Conference With the
Disciples Touching the People’s Need
(5-9).
This was not done for His benefit,
for He knew what He would do (v. 6).
He is equal to any occasion. His ob-
ject in this conf erence may be summed
up as follows:
1. To teach them their sense of ob-
ligation to the multitude. Men are
slow to recognize their obligation to
the great shepherdless multitude. We
need to be taught the wonderful truth
that God has made man His partner
in the salvation of the world. We are
workers together with God (II Cor.
6:1), It is a most solemn obligation
to co-operate with Him in saving the
millions who are groping in dark-
ness.
2. To teach them their true help-
lessness in the face of such great
needs. The loaves and fishes were as
nothing in the presence of five thou-
sand men besides women and children.
Well might Andrew exclaim, “What
are these among so many?” We may
plant and water, but the increase
comes entirely from God.
3. To teach them that their suffi-
ciency is from the Lord. The mission
worker needs to know that Christ is
the only source of supply. Without
Him we can do nothing. (John 15 :1-8).
We can no more carry on the work
ourselves than the branch can bear
fruit without the vine. The branch
supplies the life and strength for the
production of fruit. Philip’s arith-
metic is of no use in the face of such
need. The Lord Jesus has all power.
III. The Lord’s Method of Accom-
plishing His Work (vv. 10-13).
We observe here the orderliness of
Christ’s work. He pauses to give

The status of a State Bank and
its creditors is fixed at the time it
is closed by the Banking Commis-
sioner on account of its insolvency
the Attorney General’s Department
ruled in an opinion written by As-
sistant Attorney General J. W. Good-
win and given State Banking Com-
missioner Chapman. The law of set-
off applies to an insolvent State
bank in the hands of the Banking
Commissioner for liquidation, and
the allowance of off-sets is not a
preference.

Paris is ambitious to achieve chic
in utility clothes that must prove
serviceable in a workaday world, as
well as in those whose main concern

now seem to be concentrating their
thoughts upon costumes that are both
comfortable and smart—the element
of good sense counts for more in all
apparel than it ever has before, and
GROUP OF MIDWINTER HATS
large hat and the large collar to-
gether prove overwhelming—they ob-
literate their wearers.
The group of smart mid-winter hats
shown here includes types that are
worn with fur wraps and neckpieces.
Compared to many of their rivals in
millinery, these hats may be classed
as plain, for the small hat admits
much brilliant and ornate decoration
and shines at its best in the company
of the rich and glowing fabrics worn
in winter.
Something of the wide variety in
shapes may be gathered from the
group shown here which starts out
with a model having a tall round
crown of a material in checkerboard
pattern.' It has a soft rolling brim,
faced with satin, and supports a rich
bow in which two colors appear in a
two toned ribbon. The velvet hat at
thanks for their scanty supply, teach-
ing us that we should always bring
our abilities and gifts to God, that He
might bless them to His use.
1. The Lord’s part was to bless and
break the bread; yea, even to create,
the needed supply. This part the dis-
ciples could not perform. The Lord
must begin the work. The same kind
of bread was provided for all, rich
and poor, young and old, women and
children.
2. The disciples’' part was to dis-
tribute.that which He had blessed and
consecrated. This is true of the mis-
sionary today. His part is to take
from the hands of the Lord that which
He has blessed and consecrated, and
distribute it among the starving mul-
titudes. We are not responsible for
the supply; but we are responsible for
its distribution to all those who are
hungering and perishing for the bread
of life.
3. The people’s part was to sit down
and eat. They had no part in the pro-
vision, neither its distribution; but
only to take from the hands of the
disciples and eat. This is an illustra-
tion of the part obedience plays in our
salvation. “When all had eaten to
the full, much was left,” illustrating
the superabundance of Christ’s salva-
tion.
IV. The Effect (v. 14).
The people recognized Him at once
as the Prophet who should come.
They believed Him for His works’
sake.
Must Tread the Path
Death’s but a path that must be
trod, if men would ever pass to God.-

the element of style has a selling value
that is more appreciated every day.
In the two coats which Paris pre-
sents in the illustration there is one
very simple model, at the right, which
nevertheless achieves distinction. It
is made of a plain suede-finished cloth,
the upper portion barred with narrow
silk braid which also serves to indi-
cate a belt. Fur banding finishes the
sleeves and fur provides a comfortable
collar which may be fastened up
about the throat. One may be very
sure that the single large button on
the girdle is fine enough to accent
the class of the coat. Such a coat,
well interlined, and made in one of
the fur shades, will prove more than
dependable.

attention has been given to its decora

It Fired the First Gun in the
Revolution
Contrary to popular opinion, the
opening gun of the Revolution was not
fired at Lexington, Mass., on April 19,
1775. That honor really belongs to
Portsmouth, N. H., where the first
overt act in the war for independence
of the colonies occurred on Decem-
ber 14, 1774. Curiously enough this
affair was also preceded by a ride by
Paul Revere, but since there was no
blood shed there and no poet chose
to immortalize the event in verse, it is
now almost forgotten.
On December 13, 1774, Paul Revere,
as yet unknown to fame but already
acting as messenger in the cause of
American liberty, rode posthaste into
Portsmouth to warn the local com-
mittee of public safety that General
Gage was planning to reinforce Fort
William and Mary, an ancient fortress
of stone in Portsmouth harbor.
Gov. John Wentworth heard of Re-
vere’s arrival and sent word to. Capt.
John Cochran, commander of the little
garrison of five soldiers, to be on
guard against an attempt by the col-
onists to seize the munitions in the
fort. Accordingly Cochran mounted
three four-pounders on the walls of
the fort where an attack would most
likely come and ordered a sharp watch
kept that night.
About four o’clock the next morning
a party of 400 citizens, led by John
Langdon, later a governor of New
Hampshire, and John Sullivan, des-
tined for fame as the conqueror of the
Iroquois confederacy during the Rev-
olution, approached the fort in boats.
Cochran immediately opened fire, but
took care to shoot over the heads of
the mob, for he realized what his fate
would be if he killed any of them.
Undaunted by the firing, the colo-
nists swarmed into the fort, took
Cochran and his men prisoners, but
released them after they had carried
away 100 barrels of gunpowder (some
of which, incidentally, was “returned”
to the British from the flaming mouths
of patriotic muskets bn Bunker Hill
a little later) and other supplies. Al-
though Governor Wentworth issued a
proclamation calling for the ’arrest of
these "traitors to his majesty," noth-
ing was ever done about it, and in
June, 1775, after his efforts to enlist
more men to defend the fort had
failed, he moved into Fort William
and Mary with his family to hold it
for King George.
By August the situation had become
so threatening that Wentworth was
glad to make his escape on a British
warship and immediately after his
departure the Americans demolished
the fortress. Years later another fort
was built on this historic spot and it
was appropriately named Fort Con-
stitution, a fit successor to the British
Fort William and Mary, where the
opening gun of the Revolution was
fired

Where Narragansetts Fought
and Died
It was bitter cold that winter morn-
ing in 1675 and the. snow lay deep
on the ground. But in the Indian fort
of Sunke Squaw the hearts of the
red men were warm, for in its security
they felt little fear of an attack by
the white men who had driven King
Philip, the Wampanoag leader, out of
Massachusetts to seek a refuge among
Chief Canonchet’s fierce Narragan-
setts. They did not know that the
colonies of Massachusetts Bay, Plym-
outh and Connecticut were sending
Gov. Josiah Winslow of Plymouth with
a force of nearly a thousand, men
against them.
This fort, which stood near what is
now South Kingston, R. I., covered
several acres of ground and was built
on high ground surrounded by a
treacherous swamp. It was protect-
ed on all sides by heavy palisades
driven deep into the ground and its
only entrance was over a narrow log
bridge. It was probably the finest
stronghold ever built by Indians, and
in it were 3.000 red men.
Winslow’s army arrived late in the
afternoon of December 19, and, de-
spite the fact that the colonists were
weary from their long march through
the snow, an attack was launched im-
mediately. Again and again they were
driven back as they tried to gain an
entrance over the log bridge. Six of
their captains and a large number of
soldiers were killed. Then Capt. Ben-
jamin Church, the most famous New
England Indian fighter, assailed the
rear of the fort where it was least
protected, and although he was shot
three times he succeeded in leading
his men over the walls.
Inside the stronghold the battle
raged more fiercely than ever, for the
Indians put up a stubborn defense
from within their wigwams, made bul-
let proof by the great stores of food
piled in them. Finally Church gave
the order to fire the wigwams, and as
the lodges burst into flames the In-
dians were forced out into the open.
But it was a costly victory for the
whites, for their loss was 80 killed
and 150 wounded.
Nearly 1.000 of the Indians were
killed or died of cold and hunger soon
afterward. The power of the Narra-
gansetts was broken. King Philip
escaped, but the capture of Sunke
Squaw was the beginning of the end.
