Verse .1, Verily, verily. "Truly,
truly." The formula with which Jesus
was wont to preface important utter-
ances, Nob by the door. To the sheep:
fold in oriental lands there is but one,
door, and the ;porter or shepherd
watches all night beside it. in, a cave
under the hill now regarded as Cal•t
very, north of Jerusalem, the Editor
saw a flack of sheep gathered, and
the shepherd standing on guard at
the entrance. The sheepfold. Here

thief and a robber. The reference le
to such as become teachers of religion
from evil or selfish motives, and not
in the spirit of the Gospel, Often have
churches been deceived and souls lad
astray by men who claimed to be
teachers of truth but were withuut the
divine commission.
2. Entereth in by the door. By the
sane door both the flock and the
Shepherd enter, and that door, as exl-
plained,belaw, is Christ, through whom
alone Ls given entrance into the true
Church of the redeemed in earth and
heaven. The shepherd of the
sheep. Or, "et shepherd," as in the
margin of the Revised Version. The
reference here is nab to Christ, but to
those who teaoh in his name.

present the Holy Spirit, by whom the
Church is guided. Bub it is not
essential to find a meaning
in every part of this parable. The
sheep hear his voice. "The sheep„
