Millions have lived and died in faith

into the strength of their being. The pic-
ture Of Iho ane who lauds hu flock, who
carries the lambs in his arms, appeals
to all; jet who has not some time, per-
haps often, questioned: After all, is there
any one who cures; Ls (here any eye to

Perhaps there are sotrte who no longer
find aught beyond an imagery of poetic
beauty in the old strain. w•ho even feel
that it would be retreating intellectually
to'conceive of an infinite heart that
broods over men or a hand that helps.

the possibility of such a one as the great
Shepherd of the flock of humanity. Yet
even they aro not dead 'o This great
thought that so long stirred mews souls
and made them brave, ready to sacrifice,

The truth is, the singer of long ago

familiar to him, of a truth we all appre-
hend with greater or less clearness, ono
thul alone gives strength, hope, and
faith to our hearts, the conviction that

our world there is reason, and order,
and beneficence.
The science Ilya seemed to wipe nut

but emphasizes with a stress that grows
from day to day the fact that this uni-
verse is not without order. its forces as
sheep without a shepherd; that the stars
are not wvandering, nor the least atom
without guidance; that, as one put it
long

If the remotest pariiclo of natter is

our conception of the work of the great

sonal providence and more of the spirit
of law and life that cares for all.
Not tvlth doubt but with larger mean-

"°I'he Lord is toy shepherd," thinking not

great for fixed words.
This is to see the guidance of the
Shepherd in the great things of our

strange, a poor religion that believes
that providence will send a man his din-

be willing to go on doing our work, lay-
ing down our lives, because the great
world needs us; the Shepherd cannot
bring his flock to the green pastures and

There is only ono solution to all the

that we are but tho offspring, as all

Egypt, the f.nnd of Plenty. -The por-
lion/6f our narrative intervening be-
Iweon Ilii; and our last lesson fells of a
%isil of Abram to Egypt and assigns as a
meson for That visit of the Hebrew
patriarch and his household the fact that
there was famine in Palestine. Egypt
was known in antiquity ns the land of
plenty, because its fertility was depen-
dent, not on uncertain and scanty rain-
fall, as was the case In Palestine, but on
the regular and unfailing flow of the
Nile (liver, caused by the perennial melt-
ing of the snow and the !wavy rainfall
in early spring near the headwaters of
th•' etreant far up in limo Nubian moun-
tains to the south. Its great fertility
made Egypt a lend of wealth and nitro
of culture. It is not strange, (herefore,
that its prosperity should prompt bar-
barian neighbors to envy. and stimulm,tc
in them a desire for. '(he conquest of so
rich and prosperous n country. In tunes
when taurine visited surrounding regions
Egypt Lucerne a place o: refuge for many
mind different peoples. 'Thus, probably,
the llyksos carne lido Egypt, about 2200
t:.C., since which time the Innd of the
Pharaohs has been enlireiy overrun by
people principally of Cannnni'ish des-
cent.
The account of the deception and un-
truthfulness of Ahrnm in seeking to
safeguard himself in Egypt by telling K3P n
deliberate falsehood with regard to the
identity of Sarah, his wife, reflects in a
remnrknhle way the milder judgment of
all Orientals toward the sin of decep-
tion. This same leniency tov.nrd un-
truth. especially in cases In which a lio
I: told with no vicious inient, or even to
serve nn apparently worthy purpose. is
stet with in many portion; of the Old
Testament narrative. Ecce Ilse prophet

ites and Perizzites are frequently asso-
ciated with each other, in the narratives
of Genesis and Judges especially. From
some of these narratives it would seem
that the latter occupied a district about
Rolla -el and Shechem particularly, but
the probable derivation of the word from

among others in the Catacombs at Paris.
The most likely place wherein to find
mushrooms growing is a meadow or plot
of grass, but they are also often stet
with in woods, on heaths, and in unfre-
quented wayside nooks. Of late a cur-
ious field for their growth has been se-
lected in France. The St. Denis (depart-
ment of tho Seine) railway tunnel is no
longer used for the purpose for which it
vas originally intended. It has been ac-
quired for other purposes, and the
ground therein has been cut up into
ridges. divided from each other by ntearts
of furrows, upon which whole battalions
of mushrooms are now flourishing in the
