"This is a desert place, and the time is now past ..."

Mary H. Gill

"... send the multitude away," they said.Let them goand find what they need for themselvessomewhere else,somewhere other than this unpromising place,too late in a day when so much has already been done,and we have nothing more to give.

Oh, had he taken their advice,how much would have been missed!For in that barren place,at a time so late,what superabundance of blessing was waiting to pour forthto meet five thousand needs,and more besides,filling each one with overflowing good!
