revisions of a bill preventing aliens from
Mining land in the territories.
Mr. Mitchell (Or-s.) then, at 1 o'clock, took
the tloor, and made a strong speech in favor
, of a naval station on the Pueblo coast. He
was lolloilnd byhts colleague, Mr. Dolph,
on the same subject.
Mr. Blair then called up the educational
bill as the order, and had it read
preparatory to debate.
Mr. Reagan being recognize-l proceeded to
oppose the educational hill. llis opposition,
heaaid, waabaaed upon the absence of the
W8 in consu- to enact such a law. Mr.
Reagan predicted that the passago of such a
bill would be the adoption of a policy of
centralization which Would wtublish the dea-
potiarn of a popular. majority, overthrow the
constitution and endanger the liberties of
the people. It otl'ereda bribe of money to
the people to sacrifice. their manhood, their
self-reliance and their state governments. It
would be the surrender by the people of
their birthright for a mess of pottngo. The
‘ southern states were not in need of federal
aid for school purposes. The Texas school
fund this year was $3,100,000.
Mr. Blair read letters from «locational
authorities in that state complaining of the
lack“of school funds and urging the pangs
of the bill. _
Mr. Plumb proposed an nmcmlment pro-
viding that the money shall be distributed
among the several states and territories in
proportiou to their population,‘according to
the census of 1880. Without further discus-
sion of the bill the senate, at 4:50, went into
secret session, and at 5:10 adjourned until
Monday next. '
1n the home, the chaplain made exfinded
reference in his prayer to the (lentil of the
late Secretary manning.
Mr. Stewart, of Georgia, introduced , a
bill authorizing national banks to take liens
on real estate for loans of money. (The bill
prohibits national banks from taking real ‘
estate on loans made for more than one— i
half of the assessed value of the real estate.)

house then, at 1:10 p. m., adjourned until

Speaker Carlisle’a committees give very
general satisfaction. There are sumo disap-
pointments. This is usual. Even the politi-
cal opponents of Mr. Carliele praise him for
the care he has exercised and ret'tygnim his

Um directly interested, but render the best
possible satisfaction to the country, There
were many conflicting interests to W

V. 1:5. Viewed from one” point, it seems a
strange thing that Jesus should have heeded
this communication. For could Herod have
touched him before the time! No. But he
would avoid the danger to which he was not
called. The child Jams must flee from the
power of this Herod‘s father, while the angel
that direcwl the flight could have screened
him from the t yrant's wildest rage. Yet he
quietly dcpartul into Egypt, and so was
placed beyond his reach. 150 in this case. It
tuightlmvo been as the disciples of John sup-
posed, i. e., that danger threatened Jesus
from the same band that slow their master.
They told him of it, and he at once quietly
withdrew. Yet when “his hour was come,"
with what perfect calmncm he did go forth to
meet the soldiers commissioned to take him.
Is the desire to avoid needless danger a part
of the same spirit that holds us firm and
calm and true in the presence of that which
must he mcti " '
V. 14. How long Jesus had been in this
desert place before he went forth we are not
told. But when hewent forth, "he saw a
great multitude,“ out of the surrounding
citiesund villages. The most interline desire
toscc him and to hear him seems to have
posea-sscd the people. And among low and
unWortby motives, there were, beyond doubt,
many that were high and noble and true.
They followed him on foot. They ran, cir-
cling the lake, in order to reach the point
, where he was, Thoy brought their sick.

disciplcy—thnvightful, prudent souls, thi-

asked Jesus to send the multitude away. that

I was in their mind; a 11‘!“ difficulty. These
5,000 souls must be led. and the wonn-n and
children cared for. And how could this ha

V. 17. And their reply came from the same
side, i. e.,froni their belief in that which
they could see and handle. They had live
leaves and two fishes. Ami were theyto
undertake the task of feeding tlmsc thousands
with such a miserable supply?
V. 19. Whatupicture this verse sets be»
fore us: Jesus, in the midst of these
5,000 men, with the lad’s scanty supply
in his handq, looking up to heaven in thanks
giving ore he commend-d the work of 'diéti'i:
button to the hungry throng. He. had di-

quietly as the dew is formed upon the grass.
And how long does this continue!
V. 20. This verse tells us, i. 9., till all were
satisfied. ”They did all out. and were tilled."
Nor was this all. ‘0: they had more at the
ending than at the beginning of their desert
meal. "They took up of thofrngnmnts that l'(‘-
mained, twelve baskets full"—or us John
puts it, “which remained over and above. to
them that had eaten." Now, in view of this
narrative, it may be well to rcrimrk: lst.
Those evangelists manifestly relate a simple
matter of fact. There is no room for theoriz-
ing or explaining it away. What they do as.
sort is that 5,000 hungry men, besides women
apd children. were fed in a desert place from
corn... and two fishes. that all had abund'
, and that twelve baskets full of frag»
. nts were taken up when the meal wast-on-
clttdod. This is what they do assert in the
most simple and matter of fact way. The
bread means bread, and nothing else The
5,000 hungry men, the feeding of them, the
satisfying of their hunger, and the twelve
baskets of fragments that remained—all
mu exactly those very things. ‘It is simply
unmanly trifling with the gravest trutbsto
affirm anything else.
