s unday chool lesson vii jesus the good shepherd john 10 142 printed text john 10116 golden text i am the good shepherd tho good bhcpherd layeth down hts life for the sheep john 1011 time tho discourse ou christ as the good shepherd was uttered in october ad 25 tho events recorded jn the last of tho chapter took place in december of that year and in janu ary ad 30 flaco the events recorded iu this chapter took place in jerusalem ex cept tho one found in verses 4042 which is to be located in bethany be yond jordan 1 verily verily i say unto you ho that cntereth not by the door into the fold or the sheep the sheepfold was a walled enclosure with a strong ly barred door through which alone access could be had to the sheep through this door the sheep wero led at night after which the gato was barred a porter slept near tha gate on the inside of the enclosure in the morning tho shepherd knocks on the rate it is opened to him and he calls pis own sheep out but climbeth up jlome other way the same is a thief and a robber a man who had no right to go through the door who would not be allowed to enter the door and who would resort to climb ing over the wall to seize a seep is truly a thief and a robber 2 but ho that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep 3 to him the porter openeth the sheepfold speak of the true church tho body of christ the sheep of course are those who are the true followers of the lord jesus christ the children of god the shepherd is the lord jesus though he has not yet an hounced himself as such professor ilummer says we might take the por ter to be the holy spirit and the sheep head his voice and he cailelh his own bheep by name and leaileth them out frequently three o- four shepherds will lead their sheep into one shecpfod at night it is one of the most amnzins sights in the orient to see a shaphcrd iioproach say seven hundred sheep belonging to four or ave different shepherds and by a pe culiar guttural sound call his own sheep out from amongst the others 4 when he lnth put forth all his own ho gonih before them and the sheep foiow hint for they know his voice the shepherd goes before the sheep because he knows the way in doing so he is the first one to meet prowling beasts and to see places of danger which must be avoided our lord has gone before us in conflict with satan and has defeated him so that we follow in that victory 5 and a stranger will they not fol low but will flee from him for they know not the voice or strangers strangers as far as christians are concerned are thoso false teachers and false prophets who would isad astray the very children of coil 6 this parable spake jesus unto them but they understood not what things they wero which he spake un to them they did not understand christs teachings because they were not sincere they were not really seeking for the truth 7 jesus therefore said unto them again verily vorily l say unto you i am the door of the sheep sir wil fred t grenfell tho famous labrador physician had an experience which remarkably illustrates the meaning of this verse one of our party as we climbed noticed a shepherd driving his sheep into a large kind of cave with an open mouth in reply to her question he said i am puting them away for tho night to be safe from tho jackals and dogs but sho ob jected there is no door to the cave ho replied simply i am tho door it 13 tho eastern shepherds custom to ho down across the doorway of such laves and with his own life to pro tect taa sheep 8 all that came before me are thloves and robbers by thla jesus does not mean that all tho prophets of the old testament and tho true priests of god in israels history were thieves and robbers but that all who in themselves pretended to satisfy the needs of men to provide ia them selves salvation from sin had illegally and falsely assumed such prerogatives and therefore had robbed their fol lowers of the peace joy life and hope which they falsely had promised to bestow but the sheep did not hear them it does not say that no one heard them for great multitudes did but the sheep those who truly belong to god whom cod had called would not follow these false teachers and shepherds 0 i am the door by me if any man enter in he shall be saved and shall go in and go out and shall tlnd pas ture cf matt 714 a man who approaches god by believing in the lord jesus christ i3 a man who will find entrance into the new life here and in the glory to come and h one who certainly will bo saved for no man can come to christ sincerely but that christ will receive him 10 the thief cometh not but that he may steal and kill and destroy satan is the great thief 1 came that they may have life and may have it abundantly to follow christ is to know a richer physical life a clearer stronger mental life a sweeter domes tic life a more honorable social life and preeminently a true eternal spiritual life the very uf of god 11 i an the good shepherd at last christ identifies himself actually as the shepherd of the sheep tho good shepherd layeth down his life for tho sheep it is very significant that al most every passage in the new test ament that speaks of the love of cod or man and the love of christ for man also speaks of the death of the lord jesus christ for man for in- it you are still sighing with regret over helen jepsons departure from the showboat

fertilizer from another source 1 have the following suggestion for the 2126 formula 500 lbs ammophos 104s and 200 lbs muriate of potash to give 700 lbs it is claimed that the 700 lbs can be sown without any filler at the rate of 70 lbs per acre which should give the same results a3 212c sown at tho rate of 200 lbs per acre 1 would be pleased to kuow from you if the latter method and ingredients are more modern than thoso mentioned in your bulletin and also it it would bo quite satisfactory would sawdust reasonably dry make a satisfactory filler to keep mixture from becoming lumpy if it lay some time before be ing used also is it at all successful to mix fertilizer with the grain in the drill box when a fertilizer drill la not available or does the fertilizer run out first instead of coming evenly with the grain h t renfrew county answer in answer to your first question home mixing is not a new practice i saw it used with varying success 25 years ago in new bruns wick and maine the ingredient am monium phoapate 1048 is a compar atively new product it is highly con centrated and contains available ni trogen and phosphorus as guaranteed it has been mixed in the quantity that you quote which closely approximates with tha potash the analysis 2126 as to it being quite satisfactory i am not prepared to say some claim to have gotten good results from it if the mixture has been made carefully and applied evenly i see no reason why it should not glvo results i cer tainly advise adding at least 300 lbs of filler to make the mixture up to the vfc ton quantity since i doubt it you can get a drill that will sow evenly and thoroughly in quantities of even 100 lbs per acre in answer to your question about sawdust 1 would not recommend it is a filler since it takes up moisture ather readily and is very light and mlky the best type of filler is some- thing that is uhout the sama specific jravity as the fertilizer material en gineering tests have shown that the material ts z heaviest flows from the drill more quickly than lighter ipecific gravity material in mixing fertilizer with grain in the drill box this same point is en countered since grain is not the same specific gravity nor the same size ker nel as is the fertilizer 1 doubt if you can get even application of fertilizer through the grain drill box if fertili zer and grain are mixed together es pecially is this the case if there is much moisture in the air or if the grain is at all damp there is also danger of seriously injuring your grala drill if you do sow the mixture through the grain

two weeks three of them ending in the fatal and familiar loss of every soul on board have not noticeably diminish ed the throngs crowding the airline ticket offices comments the new york heraldtribune but they ore bound to invite some second thoughts on questions of airline safety and operating practice admittedly they are not easy to deal with safety itself is largely a subjective matter what is safe for one man being hairraising recklessness t another and any attempt to reduce it to objective terms is quickly lost in the meta physical mysteries of probability a hunt for the causes of accidents raises equal difficulty weather conditions apparently played a primary part in all four cf the re cent accidents but it is of course the responsibility of commercial operators of airplanes to avoid or circumvent weather risk in the case of the liner which crashed near port jervis ue j weather not only created the original danger but then put out of action through icing or rain static the radio aids devised to meet it are the companies putting too much reliance on their marvelous radio equipment was tho pilot on the other hand careless in meeting the situation created by the radio fail ure in the case of the transport lost in california there was no ap parent radio failure while the weather conditions appear to have offered no difficulties that could not have been easily avoided was that a case of pilot failure due to carelessness or a slight slip of judg ment or was the pilot flying under a pressure to keep schedules which led him to take chances as for the two ships lost in the rockies it can only be surmised that some sudden snowstorm was their undoing does that mean that the plane3 were sent up under con ditions of too much risk only under technical investigation if ever can any satisfactory answer be given but the foar accidents to gether all of them pointing to the tenuity of tho aids upon which life may hang in certain circumstances to the tremendous responsibility up on the pilot and the appalling price of his slightest failure at a critical moment will inevitably lead in self- questioning by the leaders of the industry as to whether a pressure is not being put upon men and equipment greater than is wise in considering such suggestions aviation men will naturally consult the statistics they are not too satisfactory as evidence tho pas senger miles to a natality for ex ample fluctuate arratically due to the chance circumstance that one wrecked ship may have had all its seats filled and another only two or three passengers on board a similar difficulty appears with other indices over the last six years however it may be said that the scheduled air lines have averaged about 11 fatal accidents resulting in just slightly fewer than 30 deaths a year during the same period tho planemiles flown nearly doubled unfortunately this year will lose most of the ground so gained by increasing the deaths to some 60 if the figures thus do not prove that air travel is growing safer they do not even with tho last ones includ ed reveal any increased reckless ness their indications are still favorable to the air lines bo far as they are of value- neither examination of causes nor study of the figures will entitle one to be dogmatic upon so elusive a question as safety it would seem but both should warn executives and pilots aiike that in the eternal war of all transportation enterprises between safety and schedules they should remember always to err on the side of safety economic index jumps to 1205 ottawa spectacular
