BY READING THE
International S. S. Lesson for
March 19, 1899. J
Furnished by the S. S. Union.
I Jesus the Good Shephebd-
John 10: 1-16 R*ad the whole
chapter.
Golden Text—“I am the Good
Shepherd; the Good Shepherd giv-
eth His life fur the sheep.” John
10: 11.
Sheep love to be together. One
sheep who goes astray tempts all
the flock who see him to follow.
And they arefooiish creatures, very
readily frightened and yet very
ignorant of real danger. Not an-
like human beings, who pride
themselves on their superior men
tal qualities and att iinmehts.
It is easy to see the importance
of having a good shepherd of a
flock. If a man owned a large num
ber of sheep, and was looking for
some one to take charge of them,
how carefully would he consider
the fitness of anyone who applied
for the position. And if the choice
were left to the sheep themselves
how anxions they would be to get
one who would really give them
loving care. “The good shepherd
giveth bis life for the sheep!
Bat he that is a hireling, and not
the shepherd, whose own the sheep
are not, seeth the wolf coming, and
leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and
the wolf catcbeth them and scat-
tereth the sheep.” But when the
good shepherd appears, “the sheep
hear his voice, and he calleth his
own sheep by name, and leadetb
them out, and when he pntteth
forth bis own sheep, he goeth be
fore them, and the sheep follow
him, for they know his voice.”
The Bible tells ns that ’’all we
like sheep have gone astray; we
have turned every one to his own
way;” and also that Satan, “as a
roaring lion walketh about seeking
whom he may devour.” Paul warn
ed some of the elders of the church,
“Grievioua wolves shall enter in
among you, not sparing the flock.”
Bat there was a fold where, if we
will but enter in, we are perfectly
safe. How shall one find this fold?
The Lord, who “created man in
His own image” does not leave him
to grope through the world in
blindness and darkness. The same
Book that tells ns our need always
shows how to supply it. Jesus
said “I am the door; by Me if any
man enter 'in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out and fiud
pasture.”
Hundreds of years before oar
Saviour came to earfh.ibe prophet
Isaiah had foretold: “He shall feed
His flock like a Shepherd;" and
Mark tells ns that when Jesus saw
much people, “He was moved with
compassion towards them because
they were as sheep not having a
shepherd.’’ He is a “God fall of
compassion, long-suffering, and
plenteous in mercy and troth.”
And His compassion means rescue
for all wandering sheep. “I am
the Good Shepherd, and know my
Bheep, and am known of mine—
and I lay down my life for the*
sheep.”
Does the sheep who has a watch-
fal, tender shepherd, cumber itself
with anxiety for its pasture, its
shelter, its safety? Shall we who
know wliere to find a perfect fold
and spotless Shepherd wander with
anxious, weary hearts? Gan it be
that we do not believe the Lord?
“He that believeth not God hath
made Him a liar!”

Savannah News.
Some lime ago the Morning
News referred to the Southern far
mers’ opportunity to make broom
corn a profitable crop. At that time
broom corn had advanced greatly
in price owing to the shortness of
the crop in the -West. There has
been another advance of $30 per
toD, which forces it ito a higher
notch than it has bean since tventy
years ago, when the ordinary two-
strjug broom sold at 25c apiece.
The situation is a serious one,
inasmuch as it will be eight months
before a new crop is harvested. In
view of this fact there seems to be
nq question that a still farther ad
vance may be looked for. A meet
ing of the Broom Manufacturers
Association of the United States
has been called to confer upon the
situation and make a new schedule
of prices necessitated by the ad
vance in raw material.
Indiana is at psesent the great
broom corn state, but the crop will
grow equally as well in the South,
where, bo far as known, no attempt
has been made, except experiment
ally, to test its growth. The seed
is pat in the ground in Jane in
the West. In the South the plant
ing season is a month earlier, and
the crop is harvested in August.
With the great advance in price
and the fact that the harvesting of
a new crop in the West is eight
months off, while a Southern crop
would get into the market a month
or more earlier, it seems there
would be an inducement to South
ern farmers to take advantage of
the sitnation.

The city editor is too prone to
underestimate his country brother.
Herein he makes a stupid blander;
declares the Newspaper Maker. It
is'likely that the rastic might re
quire much training before he
could step into the shoes of the
metropolitan. Conversely, the city
chap would be a dismal failure if
he transferred his talents to a conn-
try paper.
The fellow from the city is a
theorist. He reads and studies,
but brashes-up against none but
thoseof his set. He has no agony
over business matters, and forms

An old bachelor bought a pair
of socks, and found attached to one
of them a slip of paper with these
words: “I am a young lady of
twenty and would like to corres
pond with a bachelor with a view
to matrimony.” Name and address
were given. The bachelor wrote,
and in a few days got this letter:
“Mamma was married twenty years
ago. The merchant you bought
those socks from evidently did not
advertise, or he would have sold
them long ago. Mamma handed
me your letter and said possibly I
might suit you. I am eighteen
yearB old.”—Exchange.

The country editor lives amoug
the people. He sees all sorts of
conditions of men and learns just
what they think and feel and say.
He reflects the sentiment of his
community, which sentiment he
frequently crystalizes and refines
by his own clever comments. He
is known of all, criticised of all and
liked of all. His influence is big
and he exercises it for good.
The rural chap is an all around
man, settling disputes, harmon
izing factions, lending a hand at
press or case, attends to bis adver
tisements and subscriptions, and
finds time to go to all funerals and
weddings. Held to a personal ac
count for what he writes and his
little all being wrapped up in bis
paper, he is careful in his utter
ances, and usually attends church
regularly.
Nobody knows the city writer ex
cept his circle, a small one, of in
timates. He draws a salary and
writes what his superiors tell him.
He has more time for rounding his
periods and he may have greater
koowledge of books and policies of
big men and empires. Bat he
should not despise the other, who
does his part equally well.
