When your financial papa tells you that your budget must be balanc ed, there’s nothing else to do but get busy and .see that it is balanced, so I immediately took up this work of necessary adjustment. First, I decided that I would have to send my wife to the “Old Ladies” home. She’s rather young to go there, but I’ve got to balance my budget, ain’t I?

Senator HamrTck’s question was: “By what authority did you in crease the deficit? What is the good of the legislature fixing a definite ap propriation if a department may spend more than is appropriated?” The taxpayers of South Carolina are demanding a reduction in the appropriation bill in order that there may be a corresponding reduction in the amount of taxes they pay, and while, a? stated above, we have no way of judging the Cherokee Senator’s tone and manner in putting his ques tion, we think that he had a perfect right to seek the infotfnation.

We are not living under an au tocracy. If the general felt that he had been insulted by the tone and manner in which the question wa? put, he should have demanded an apology from Senator Hamrick. The latter says that his question was not intended as an insult. To many laymen, General Summer- all’? hasty resignation smacks too much of the arrogant, autocratic at titude adopted by all too many mem bers of the military toward the lowly civilian, and such an attitude is re pugnant to th e citizens of a democ racy. The general has been too much accustomed to giving orders— not to answering questions. Tom and Harry of us have been rais ing the dickens about high prices; now’ we have low prices—ju?t what we wanted—and the said low prices have busted everything and everyr! body from center to circumference^ [Times are not going to be any better until money gets cheaper—not inter est, money itself.

The Good Shepherd (vv. 1-18). 1. Jesus is the true shepherd (w. I- 6). He came by the divinely ap pointed way. John the Baptist and others of the prophets had performed the function of the porter and opened the door to the sheepfold (vv. 2, 3). Tfie power exercised by the Pharisees in casting out this man was not ob tained by lawful means. It was stolen by them and exercised in the bold spirit of robbers. The reason the man suffered excompmnication was that he recognized Jesus as the true shepr herd and turned from the Pharisees, not only as strangers, but as thieves and robbers. Despite the deceit, au dacity, theft, and robbery of these .Pharisees, those who were Christ’s sheep were declared to be forming a new flock and Following him as the true shepherd (v. 4). 2. Jesus is the door of the sheep (vv. 7-10). The way to fellowship with God is through Christ. He is not only a door, but the only door (Acts 4:12). There is absolutely, no way into the fold of the redeemed but by and through him. All who attempt to gain access to God except through Jesus Christ are thievps and rob-" bers (v. 8.) Those who become members of the flock of God through Jesus Christ enjoy marvelous priv ileges and gifts (vv. 9, 10). a. Salvation—“shall he saved” (v. 9). They not only enjoyed present salvation, but are eternally saved (vv. 27, 28). b. Liberty—“shall go in and out” (v. 9). Only those who accept salvation in Christ know what freedom is. c. Contentment—“shall .go in and out and find pasture” (v. 9.) The one who really enters the fold by Christ, the door, receives that which is all- satisfying to the soul. 3. Jesus is the good shepherd (vv. II- 18). a. He giveth his life for the sheep (vv. 11-13). The hireling abandons his sheep in time of danger. The hireling, represented by" fho Pharisee, takes up his work and continues it for| his own sake, for the profit that is In it. Jesus was so devoted to his sheep that he willingly laid down his life for them. b. He has perfect knowledge of his sheep and they know him (vv. 14. 15). Knowing bis sheep so well, he looks after their welfare. He enjoys such personal intimacy with his sheep that he knows them by name, goes before them to lead the way and defend them from every danger. c. His sympathy is world-wide (v. 16). He declared, “Other sheep have I which are not. of this fold.” This suggests that the Gentiles have a place in his fold. , d. He enjoys the love of the heav enly Father (vv. 17. IS). II. The Sheep (vv. 19-30). 1. Unbelievers are not Christ’s sheep (vv. 19-26). Christ’s assertion that he was the good shepherd caused a di vision among the people. Some ac cused him of being mad, •others that he had a devil, To their request that he would tell them plainly if he were the Christ, he responded by referring them to the testimony of his works, declaring that llie"secref~bfTffPB; Iri- un- New officers in grade 9-A have been elected for the next semester.

His sheep recognize his voice (v. 27.) There are many voices In the world: the voice of the hireling, the voice of the thief, and the voice of the stranger; but none of these vill the sheep hear. The voice of the true shepherd Is recognized by his sheep even amidst the babble of voices in the world today. 3. He knows his sheep (v. 27). Re gardless of how helpless and ignorant the sheep may he. he knows every one and he looks after them. 4. His sheep follow him (v. 27) This Is the proof that they are his. The true sheep will flee from stran gers (v. 5). This should be a solemn warning to all such as are following strangers. 'A 5. His sheep are eternally secure (vv. 28. 29). The sheep are entirely dependent upon the shepherd. It is the shepherd’s business to look after and care for the sheep.
