In the Gospel of St. 'Mat- thew, 9,. verse 36, we- read, - "Wlien • Jesus saw , the multitudes He was ; moved: with compassion -on them," Why? "Because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having ° no shepherd." This is exactly how Christ sees the World of today. Jesus does not rebuke or blame; but He is deeply concerned. And what is it about the many people who are without • Chris -t• that should move us deeply and make us con- cerned about their eternal Salvati• on? Jesus saw the multitudes, He saw the crowd, but it was not simply what He saw, but how He saw .the people,and how different was His reaction from what ours often is. m Jesus saw men and women as souls needing to be saved. Yet if the minister dares to ask people tocome forward and accept Christ as Lord • and P Saviour, in many cases he is in deep trouble. But the•Christiari, be he or she Minister' or teacher or parents must ,see people as Jesus saw °thm,• people in need ofa Shepherd. Jesus had compassion because people fainted,' they were miserable, distressed. And there are many today._in this condition. They do not know Jesus as. their Friend and Saviour, and perhaps will not, unless .you and,,I Take thisknown to them:,. , But we'cannot go to them.

We read in verse 36 of Matthew 9 "the people were scattered abroad, as. sheep having no shepherd". It means to be lost, as the one lost sheep of which we read in Luke 15-4. But notice in this parable, the Shepherd went after the lost sheep, until He found it.Are we concerned for our friends and loved ones. Our workmates? Our neighbours? The summer holidays are uopn us.
