INTRODUCTION — John 10: 19-29
should foIiow 9: 41. The anniversary
services commemorating the dedica-
tion of the Temple (10:.22) would
remind all patriotic Jews of the Mac-
cabean heroes who had purchased so
dearly the temporary freedom of their
country. During the years of bond-
age which followed, many false Mes-
siahs won the confidence of the people,
incited them to revolt, and left them
only in greater disaster and servitude.
The religious leaders were 'little bet-
ter. They used their holy offices for
their own ends. They were "thieves
and robbers" in contrast with the true
shepherd who loves his sheep.
I. FALSE SHEPHERDS AND TRUE, John
10: 1-6.
Perhaps, no other picture brings
home more appealingly to the hearts
of. men the love of Jesus than this
allegory. In the name "good shep-
herd," "good" means kindness, beauty,
genuineness, all in one.
Jesus never forget his Galilean
boyhood and the stories he often heard
-the shepherds tell how sometimes they
had to protect their flocks from prowl-
ing 'beasts of prey. He knew also
that Israel's leaders in times past
were sometimes called "shepherds,"
Num. 27: 17; Jen231 1. Wounded in
.heart at the cruel way in• which the
"shepherds" of Israel had treated the
man whom he had healed, he could
not but think of theta as false shep-
herds.
They had not come to their position
of leadership and lower by the Gad -
appointed way the door of love, but
"by some other way,' v. 1. The true
shepherd, comin,; to the fold in the
morning, is admitted by the "porter"
(v. 3), the•night. watchman. Several
flocks have been in the same fold for
the night. The shepherd gives his
peculiar whistle or call, and his own
sheep follow him out i o pasture. East-
ern shepherds go before their flocks.
They give them pet navies as W3 name
horses and dogs. His sheep always
know their own master, A Scottish
traveler once changed garments with
a shepherd in Palestine, and thus dis-
guised, triedto call the sheep to him.
They did not move. But when the
shepherd, dressed like a Scottish trav-
eler, gave his call, they came to him
at once. •
II. "I Air THE WOE," John 10: 7-10.
Said Jeans to the man shoal the
Pharisees had debarred from the re-
ligions eommunity, "I'am the way of
entrance—not they." No ecclesiastical
court on earth has the power to shut
a man out from the kingdom which
has come through me." They who
came before Him (v. 8) were the false
leaders, political and religious, who
had been deceiving the people.
The true pastor of God's flock (this
is theemeaning of "any man" in v. 9),
entering upon his work through love
shall have security (read "safe" in-
stead of "saved") ; he will have free-
dom to render his bit of service to his
fellows (go in and out), and will be
able to provide spiritual nourishment
for his flock (find pasture).
The thief (v. 10), those false na-
tional and religious leaders—seeks
only his own advantage. He bluffs his
way along. but those who are in real
touch with God are not deceived.
Christ, men's true leader and shep-
herd, makes life a richer, bigger thing
for every Man, makes the man him-
self a bigger man, more vital, v. 10.
III. "T AM THE. GOOD SHEPHERD," John
11: 11-18.
The abundant life that Christ offers
• is possible only through the sacrifice
of his own. Hence the simile changes.
The false teachers are no longer
"thieves and robbers," but timid men
who run away when faced by danger;
they have no real interest in their
flock.
From the mountain top of his vis-
ion the inspired writer sees beyond
the confines of the Jewish fold to the
Gentiles. They are lost and wander-
ing, but some day Christ will bring
them ht too. Such was David Living -
stone's vision. Engraved on the slab
in Westminster Abbey which marks
his grave are these words, "And othet
sheep I have which are not of this
fold."
One fold, and: one shepherd (v. 16)

colm Campbell who plans on sailing shortly to Day tona Beach, where be hopes to better his speed re-
cord of 245 miles an hour.
is better translated "one flock." The
Christian Church is not a walled fold,
but a flock whose unity consists in
each me.nber of it hearing and follow-
ing the voice of the Good Shepherd.
This spiritual unity must ultimately
show its existence by a visible out-
ward union. Religious leaders the
world over are today recognizing this.
Hence the movements everywhere to-
ward church union, that the world
may know.
Autumn
Summer storms are hard storms,
Autumn .storms are mild;
Summer is a warrior,
Autumn. is a child.
Drooling through the forests,
Sobbing o'er the plains,
Comes the netted music
Of the autumn rains.
Summer skies are bright skies,
Autumn skies are lead;
Summer leaves are live leaves,
Autumn leaves are dead.
Skipping o'er the meadows.
Ohruckriug in the trees;
Flirting with the sunshine,
Romps the autumn breeze.
Autumn suns are shy suns,
Summer suns are bold.;
AuttLmu days are bronze days,
Sumuier days are gold.
Thrilling with the tonic,
WILeu the days are fair;
I-Iow the nostrils dilate,
Drinking autumn air!
Vernal rains, the glad rain:.
Come When life is new;
Aunt= rains, the sad rain's,
Come when life- Is through.

Poet and Peasant
The sunset's golden rods have railed
the west,
And steel -blue swallows cut with cres-
cent linings
Across the tawny metal of the sky;
Like chinking of loose change a black-
bird sings.
My pathway lies between
all close
Together huddled like
crouched in sleep,
The curving fang of my scythe
loose behind
my grass -wet boots
the open steep.
There at the brown path's end my cot-
tage stands •
With new blue paint upon its wooden
eaves;
One wall all grey and flat and window-
less,
hung with a rough green rug of
ivy leaves.
when those trees have turned to
rich black lace,
when the stars are fastened on
the night,
Quiet within my secret armory I'll sit
And burnish rhymes to beauty while
I write.
