When your financial papa tells

get busy and .see that it is balanced,
so I immediately took up this work

rather young to go there, but I’ve got
to balance my budget, ain’t I?

< It appears that the appropriation
made for The Citadel a year ago
had been exceeded, General Summrall
explaining that the expenses of the
institution had mad e -uch action nec

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

government should be allowed to ex

authority, no matter how honest and
honorable the official in charge may
be. 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

much accustomed to giving orders—
not to answering questions.

on ac-
The occasion for the parable of the
Good Shepherd was the excommunica
tion by the Pharisees of the blind man
who had been healed by Christ
I. 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-

ability to recognize him was thei
belief.
2. 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.
