It REV. 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.”

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.
