My brother, my sister--are you hungry? Then come along and dine.
Some people are afraid of being converted, because they think they
will not hold out. Mr. Rainsford once said, "If the Lord gives us
eternal life, He will surely give us all that is needful to preserve
it." He not only gives life; but He gives us our daily bread to feed
that life.

After the Saviour had risen from the dead, He had not appeared to
His disciples for some days. Peter said to the others, "I go a
fishing." Seven of them started off in their boats. They toiled all
night but caught nothing. In the grey of the morning, they saw a
Stranger on the shore. He addressed them and said "Children, have ye
any meat?" They told Him they had not. "Cast the net on the right
side of the ship; and ye shall find." I can imagine they said to
each other, "What good is that going to do? We have been fishing
here all night, and have got nothing? The idea that there should be
fish on one side of the boat, and not on the other!" However, they
obeyed the command; and they had such a haul that there was no room
for the fish in the boat. Then one of them said, "It is the Lord."
When he heard that, Peter sprang right into the sea, and swam to the
shore; and the others pulled the boat to land.

When they reached the shore the Master said, "Come and dine." What a
meal that must have been. There was the Lord of Glory feeding His
disciples. If He could set a table for His people in the wilderness,
and feed three millions of Israelites for forty years, can He not
give us our daily bread? I do not mean only the bread that
perisheth; but the Bread that cometh from above. If He feeds the
birds of the air, surely He will feed His children made in His own
image! If He numbers the very hairs of our head, He will take care
to supply all our temporal wants.

Not only so: He will give us the Bread of Life for the nourishment
of the soul--the life that the world knows nothing of--if we will
but go to Him. "I am the Bread of Life," He says. As we feed on Him
by faith, we get strength. Let our thoughts rest upon Him; and He
will lift us above ourselves, and above the world, and satisfy our
utmost desires.

Another Gospel bell is--

COME AND REST!

Dear friend, do you not need rest? There is a restlessness all over
the world to-day. Men are sighing and struggling after rest. The cry
of the world is, "Where can rest be found?" The rich man that we
read of in the parable pulle
