ROBERT R HARPER t The Good Shepherd. Lesson for February 23: John: Memory Selection: John 10:11. The text of fee lesson is an ex-' ample of how Jesus used common things about men to teach them spiritual truth. The people of Pales tine were familiar wife the shep herd’s life. The shepherd of the Judaean nniy was the door of the fold—through hfet his sheep entered fee fold at the dose of day. Jesus said feat he is fee door of the sheep, also the Good Shepherd who gives his life for them. How simply but eloquently this shows that Jesus is the media tor between men and God. We learn of the yearning of Jesus through his concern for “other sheep.” Command was given his disciples to seek them. And necee- sMy is laid upon Christians of the present to do evangelistic and mis sionary work. Think of fee task ■ww before them. And have your part in what your church is dniwg lor a sorrowing world. Borne think the “one flock” with ,na*e shepherd” demands the ec clesiastical union of all Christians, and despite great obstacles this is the dream of many. Let us rather wot* for a spiritual union in the Chu: fe Invisible of true believers. TLe Father's command was upon even unto death. And fee emamand of Jesus is upon us. We should give our lives to him and for jDdm. We shall hardly be asked to j die for him—the day of the mar- I tyrs is gone. But we must live for i him dally. Paul writes that we •must present our bodies as “living • aarriftaes.” XE W 1 ,**:• f V ml Days of the Elm? k"‘ steal is no more beautiful tree } * all the world than fee Aaserl- jtmi elmt It is probably used more dnasi any other to beautify elty wwsets, village streets and oountry- ewsA—certainly in fee North Atlan ta states. New England would be- a “barren waste” t|t It lost Its o*ns. And lose them it surely wtfl unless federal, state, county and sewn authorities—and the people feemeelvca—take greater cognizance at fee dread killer and fight It more wnergetlcally. We laymen call this •jure death fee Dutch elm disease. One theory Is that this “plague,” which Is fungus in nature, came to these shores some twenty or thirty years ago in-a shipload of veneer •tom the Dutch East Indies. Hence fee name. A certain beetle, which winters and “spawns” under the bark of a diseased elm, spreads the fungus when he emerges in the Spring and feeds on fee tender twigs of the healthy trees. In a couple of yean* time the newly Infected trees repeat the process and, if no prevention is attempt ed, practically all elms la the vicinity soon perish. There Is as yet no known cure for this deadly scourge and there seems to be but one prevention—to out down and burn the diseased trees before the Impregnated beetles emerge In the Spring. Before fee war both federal and state authorities spotted and de stroyed infected trees; but do not appear to have renewed this work since fee end of hostilities. There is little doubt however feat the con centrated urging of interested people would soon cause the authorities to start the work again. In probably most cases it costs more in time and labor to destroy a diseased tree than fee owner can afford; and it can be done on a wholesale scale much more cheaply and quickly. But it IKup to us if we want to save our elms. It is up to us to urge on the authorities to renew the good work they were doing. It is up to us to report suspicious looking trees; and it is up to us to remon strate with people who keep elm wood in their woodpiles. If every sick tree and every 'elm woodpile was destroyed, and kept destroyed, it is almost certain that this disease could be overcome and the beauty if our Ip Escapes preserved. And bow forlorn a treeless landscape would be! Maybe some people like the prairie, with an occasional. clump of three or four cottonwoods Kway off on the horizon. But most folks like trees around fee house end on the village street.
