we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

"And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled; and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full." (St. Matthew, xv, 33.)

"And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men." (St. Mark, vi, 42.)

"And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

"And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

"When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

"Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

"Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that

Prophet that should come into the world." (St. John, vi, 10-14.)

"And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.

"Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you. Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.

"Whoso eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

"For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

"He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me and I in him.

"As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.

"This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live forever." (St. John, vi, 35, 53-58.)

"And when they wanted wine the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, They have no wine.

"And there were set there six water-pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

"Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

"And He saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

"When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants which drew the water knew), the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

"And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

"This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed on him." (St. John, ii, 3, 6–11.)

"And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine; and he was the priest of the most high God." (Genesis, xiv, 18.)

"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body.

"And He took the cup, and gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

"For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

"But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.

"And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives." (St. Matthew, xxvi, 26–30.)

"Here's a health to those that I love;

Here's a health to those that love me;

Here's a health to those that love them that I love,

And to those that love them that love me."

o'clock in the afternoon of January 20, 1891.

During the morning, four doctors were in attendance. They consulted and announced that in their opinion the King would not live more than a few hours. He had then been unconscious for nearly forty hours, with the exception of one brief moment in the early morning, when he spoke to Colonel Baker, saying: "Well, I am a very sick man." These were his last intelligible words, for though he afterwards murmured as his strength failed him and he advanced deeper into the valley of the shadow of death, his words were only the babblings of delirium. He spoke in his native tongue, and again wandered upon the beach of Hawaii and gazed out upon the broad Pacific. All royalty and pomp were forgotten in the mind of the dying King, who seemed, as he died, to be in a swoon.

Kneeling at the bedside, Rev. J. Sanders Reed recited the Twenty-third Psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd." At 1:34 o'clock, Rev. J. Sanders Reed said: "Shall we kneel and have the Commendatory Prayer?"
