MEMORY SELECTION—1 am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.—John 10:11. An open door! How Inviting! Jesus had just been talking to the man once blind (John 9) who had seen the temple door closed against him. It shut him out from all the sacred traditions of his people, but it turned him to Jesus, who presents himself in our lesson as “ the door of the sheep.” I. The Door of the Sheep (vv. 7- 10 ). The preceding verses of chapter 10 are important, for they identify Jesus as the true Shepherd. He speaks of his people as his sheep. 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 pro­ tection. A shepherd was on guard at the door. Thieves would climb the wall to steal sheep, but the true shep­ herds, when they came in the morn­ ing to lead forth their flocks, en­ tered by the door. They called out their own flock by name. It is said that only sick sheep will follow a stranger, which may ex­ plain why so many false isms of our day appeal to the sick and lead them away from the Good Shepherd. Do you know his blessed voice? Have you responded to his call? Will you follow him? Decide now. Consider the beautiful figure of the shepherd as the door of the sheep- fold. When the sheep enter the fold to rest, he is the door, When they are ready to go out to feed in green pastures again, he is the door. Note that they go in and out. Be­ longing 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 oft­ en sing: “ One Door and only one, And yst its sides are two— Inside and outside; On which side are you?” Then repeating the two first lines comes the direct testimony and question, " I am on the inside; On which side are you?” II. The Keeper of the Sheep (vv, 11-13). We think of sheep as peacefully grazing on the hillside—an idyllic picture in the summer sunshine. But there weie dangers to meet. It is so with Christ’s sheep too, and then he is there to keep them. The wolves come out as the shadows gather. They come to kill and to scatter. Where then is the shepherd? If he is only a hireling, serving for what may "be in it" for him, he will flee. How perfectly this pictures relig­ ious leaders, who, in spite of their swelling words and ingratiating manners, desert the flock in the hour of adversity. Fair-weather friends are they, who disappear when dark­ ness 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 Hie bitter death of Cavalry’ s tree for you and me? He is the Good ■Shepherd. He gave his life for the sheep. Those Who have put their trust in him shall never be put to shame. III. The.Saviour of the Sheep (vv. 14-1S). He laid down his life for the sheep. Ah, yes, it is a l l ‘too true that evil men laid wicked hands on him and crucified him. Their guilt is awful. But it is clear from Scripture that until the hour had come for Jesus to be made sin for the redemption of man, they could not touch him (see Luke 4:29, 30; John 8:59). When the time came, Christ laid down his life in accord with "the de­ terminate counsel and foreknowl­ edge of God” (Acts 2:23). He died for us, not as a martyr to a cause, or the victim of an accident or mis­ carriage of justice, but willingly, and for the glory of God. Yes, he died for us, hut he also died for every lost soul who will hear his voiced . There are "other sheep” about whom the Lord is deep­ ly concerned. Are we? He "must bring” them—but re­ member, God works through yielded believers—through men and women. We ought to-be eager instruments in his hands -fo reach , these other sheep, whatever their race, creed, or coudiU6ft£Ef to the xepired terms o f directors Herman Ankeney and John W.

The new disease was discovered last spring in broods that came from Pullorum clean flocks. The flocks were tested with a special antigen which exposed the new type of dis­ ease. Hatcherymen are now testing flocks for both types of the disease. PREVENT FARM FIRES Fires, as well as the common cold, thrive on these raw winter days, and farmers are warned to use great care with all heating units in homes, barns and out buildings. In cold weather stoves often be­ come over heated. Nearby beams should be prevented from scorch­ ing and stove pipe free ox soot. Crops and other material which might easily catch fire should he Temoved. from the immediate vicinity. FARM SHOP REQUIRES HEATING AND SPACE The most important points to con­ sider in building a farm shop are a heating system and adequate floor space, since most repair work is done during the winter and on equipment which can be taken into the work­ shop. Most farmers can devise a heating device without buying a new stove, and many farmers have enough o il1 drained for cars and tractors to pro- ; vide fuel if it is saved. The shop door should be wide enough to admit a drill, tractor, or larger farm tool and there should be room on the floor for the Avorkmen to get around the machine. jBond Sales Average |§82 in Greene County j Although Greene county dropped |to eighth ranking in the southern area in December sales o f U.
