Jesus Our Good Shepherd.
The blind man who had been
healed had been cast out of the
synagogue because he had given the
glory for his healing to Jesus Christ,
(see ch. 9). The door to that which
stood for all that was sacred to
him had been closed. Whither
should he turn? Look! here comes
someone seeking him. It is Jesus,
who now declares that the door
which men had closed was no true
door at all, for he says, “I am the
door of the sheep.” Those who pro
fessed to be shepherding the flocks
and who had cast this poor man out
were but hirelings. Now he speaks
to the One who says, “I am the
good Shepherd.”
Someone has suggested that the
parable of the good shepherd pre
sents the whole day in the life of
the shepherd and his flock, morning,
noon, and night, and typifies the
ministry of Christ on our behalf in
the varying circumstances of life.
I. In the Morning (John 10:1-6).
Flocks were sometimes kept in
the field at night, as was the case
on the night when Jesus was born
in Bethlehem. But ordinarily they
were brought into a sheepfold where
many flocks gathered for protec
tion. Thieves would climb the wall
to steal sheep, but the shepherd,
when he came in the merning to
lead forth his flock, entered in by
the door. He called out his flock
by name and they knew his voice.
It is said that only a sick sheep
will follow a stranger, which may
explain why so many false isms of
our day appeal to the sick and lead
them away from the Good Shep
herd.
Do you know his voice? Have you
responded to his call? Will you fol
low him? Decide now.
II. In the Heat of the Day (w.
7-10).
Perhaps the sheep need to enter
the fold to rest, if so he is the
door. But they may wish to go out
to the pasture—again he is the door.
Belonging to Christ is not bondage.
If any man enter in by Christ, the
Door, he is free to go in and out, to
find pasture, to live for and to
serve him.
“The Door.” What a striking fig
ure! It is a means of entry, the
only way in. Every door has two
sides and the side we are on de
termines whether we are inside or
outside—saved or lost. Children
used to sing, and still do:

III. When Night Comes (w. 11-
16).
The wolves come out as the shad
ows gather. They come to kill and
to scatter. Where is the shepherd?
If he is only a hireling, serving
for what may “be in it” for him,
he will flee. How perfectly this pic
tures religious leaders who, in spite
of their swelling words and ingra-
tiating manners, desert the flock in
the hour of adversity. Fair weather
friends are they, who disappear
when darkness and danger appear.
In the darkest hour Jesus is near
est at hand. He never fails. He
has no fear, for has he not tasted
the bitter death of Calvary’s tree
for you and for me? He is the
good shepherd. He giveth his life
for the sheep. Those who have put
their trust in him shall never be
put to shame.
Because he has given his life for
the sheep we must not forget nor
neglect the truth found in verse 16.
There are “other sheep” that have
not yet been brought into the fold.
They must be brought in, and we.
on His behalf, must bring them, that
there may “be one fold and or
shepherd.”

LITTLE girl, reared in pov
erty in the backwoods of Vir
ginia, destined for a brief
and none too happy life, was to
grow up and bear a child whose
career more than fulfilled her high
est dreams for him.
Born at Patterson’s Creek, Va.,
in 1784, Nancy Hanks went at the
age of twelve to live with her aunt
and uncle, Thomas and Elizabeth
Sparrow, in Mercer county , Vir
ginia. She had a chance to attend
school there, and made the most of
it. In a community where many
of the men could neither read nor
write, she learned to do both, notes
a writer in the Indianapolis News.
She was skilled at needlework,
too, and hired out to families in
the neighborhood.
Though she
worked for wages she was never
regarded as a servant, but sat at
table with the household wherever
she went. Report says she was
tall and handsome, with a frank,
open countenance and a voice pleas
ing both when she sang and when
she talked.
A young apprentice named Thom
as Lincoln was learning the trade
of carpentry in the shop of Joseph
Hanks, uncle of Nancy. The two
young people were attracted to each
other, and were married on June
12, 1806. Thomas took his bride
home to a tiny house fourteen feet
square.
He could not write his own name
until the ambitious Nancy taught
him how. But his ambition could
not keep pace with hers. Her dis-

was forgotten in her children; first,
a little girl, Sarah; then, in 1809,
the son known to history as Abra
ham Lincoln.
Between this child and this back-
woods mother there was a power
ful bond of sympathy. They under
stood each other without words.
Perhaps she felt in him her own
fierce hunger for learning, for a
larger, richer world.
She was thirty-four years old, and
Abraham Lincoln was nine, when
she fell ill of an epidemic disease
known in southern Indiana (to
which the family had migrated) as
the milk sickness. In seven days
she was dead.
Abraham helped his father to
make her coffin out of green lum
ber cut with a whipsaw, helped to
bury her in a forest clearing. There
was no ceremony. This troubled the
boy until several months later, they
secured a wandering preacher to
deliver a funeral sermon over the
lonely grave.
His mother’s influence stayed
with him always, and was voiced
in that most famous of filial epi
taphs: “All that I am or hope to
be, I owe to my angel mother.”

They didn’t believe Rose when

pretty dress (Pattern 1224). She
did though, even the buttonholes!
However, the same stunning effect
can be had by sewing the buttons
on for trimming only. The ele
gance of the princess-like lines,
the eclat of the heart shaped
sleeves and withal its ease of
construction make the question
read “How can I help but make
this dress?” It is available in

est, since though his hand be clean
his heart has surely been polluted

He must feel that when he shall

semblance of an unspotted life can
entitle him to an entrance there.
Penitence must kneel and Mercy

Correct Postures.
In sitting the back should be
erect or inclined backward. The
legs from hips to knees should
be approximately at right angles
to the body, although they may
incline slightly downward. The
position of the legs from knees
to feet is of minor importance.
The limbs may be perpendicular
or inclined out. Crossing the feet
is sometimes restful to one foot
