Melancholy as this was, when the bread and water were given out by weight and measure, yet infinitely more distressing is it, when the Lord makes a famine, not of the bread that perisheth, but that which endureth to everlasting life. Oh Lord! keep to us the blessed and invaluable privilege of our Sabbaths, and of Jesus the bread of life. Amos 8:11; John 6:35, etc.
