j aiul it was nut cold enough there to

tilde makes a great difference. Mr.
Marbury, the weather man. foretold ua
' of this coming free/.e and I have great
faith in him. When the weather bureau
was tirnt established wo thought it
was a humbug, but long Observation

Hut we can tell now and can fortify

What with post ami rail fences ami our
pride iti Southdown. Astrakhan and Flemish
varieties of sheep, there is no use now
ot hip oiu-time shepherd. Such <i ono had
abundance of opportunity of becoming
a pool, being out of doors twolvo hours tt
day, and ofttlmes waking up in tlio night
on tlx* hills. If the stars or tho torrents or
the sun or tho ttowors hml anything to
say, ho was vory apt to hear it. Tho EtIriek
Shepherd of Seotland, who nfterward
took his seat in the brilliant olrelo of Wilson
and I.ockhart, got his wonderful pootto
inspiration iu tho ten yours in which he
was watching the flocks of Mr. Laidlaw.
There |? often a sweet poetry in the ruggod
proso of the Hootch shepherd. One of
these Hooteh shepherds lost his only son,
and ho knelt down in prayer and was overheard
to say, "<) Lord, It has seemed good
in Thy provldeuee to tnko front mo tho
stuff of iny right tiandnt the time when to
us suud Hind mortals I seemed to ho most
In need of it. and how I shall climb up tho
hill of sorrow and nuld age without it Thou
ma.vst ken, hut I dinua!"
l)uvid, the shepherd hoy. is watching his
father's sheep. They are pasturing on tho
very hills where afterward a Lamb was
horn of which you have heard much, "the
Lamb of (tod. which tnketh away tho sin
of tho world." David, the shepherd boy,
was beautiful, brave, musical and pootio.
I think ho often forgot tho sheep in his
reveries. There in the solitude he struck
the harp string that is thrilling through all
ages. David the hoy was gathering tho
material for David the poet and David tho
man. Like other hoys. David was fond of
using his knife among the saplings, and lie
had noticed the exuding of the juice of the
tree, and when lie became a man lie said,
"The trees of I lie Lord are fall of sap."
David the hoy. like other boys, had boon
fond ot hunting the birds' nests, and lie
had driven the old stork oft' tho nest to And
how many eggs were under her, and when
lie became a man lie said. "As for the stork,
the 11 r trees are her house." In boyhood
he luid heard the territle thunderstorm
that frightened the red deer into premature
sickness, and when he hoenrno u mn?
he said. "Tlio voice of ilie Lord makoth
the hinds to calve." David the hoy hnd
lain upon his hack looking up at the stars
and examining the sky. aud to his boyish
I imagination the sky seemed like a piece of
divine embroidery. I he divine lingers work
injr in the threads of light and the beads of
stars, and he became a man and wrote,
"When I consider thy heavens, the work
of thy Makers." When he became an old
man. t hink inn of t lie goodness of Ood, lie
teemed to hear the bleating of his father's
sheep across many years and to t hink of
the time when he tended t hem on I he Del hleheir.

'The I.ord i? in\ shepherd."
ir ( id will help me. I will talk to you of j
the shepherd's plaid, the shepherd's crook. :
tile shepherd's dons, the shepherd's pasture
grounds and the shepherd's flocks.
And tlr-t tlie shepherd's plaid. It would
be preposterous for a man going out to
rough and besoiling work to put on
splendid apparel. I'lie potter does not work
In velvet; the serving maid does not put on
*.it in w liile toiling at her duties; the shepherd
does n >f wear a splendid robe in which
to ^o out amid the -tonus ami the rocks
ami t lie nettles; lie put-> on i lie rough apparel
appropriate to hisexposed work. The
Lord niir Shepherd, coming out to hunt the
los? sheep, puts on tt< regal apparel, but
th<- plain garment of our hiimanitv. There
was nothing pretentions about it. I know
the old painters represent a linlo around
the babe .Iosiis. but I do not suppose that
tin-re was any more halo about that child
than about the head of any otberbabe that
was born that Christmas eve in .ludtca. Hemming

| Tltoro In no animal thi\t struggles mora
; violently than u sheep when you oorner It
and cutch hold of It. Down in the glen I
soon group of inou nround n lost b hoop.
A plowman oomes along unci seizes the
sheep and tries to pacify It, hut it is mora
frightened than ever. A miller cornea
along, puts down his grist and caresses the
sheop, and it seems as if it would die of
fright. After awhile some one breakn
through the thicket. He says, "Let ino
have the poor thing." Ho comos up and
lays his arms nround the sheep, and It is
Immediately quiet. Who is the last man
that comes? it is the shepherd. All, my
friends, bo not afraid of the shepherd's
crook. It is never used on you save in
mercy to pull you back. The hard, cold
Iceberg of trouble will melt iu the warm
gulf stream of divine sympathy.
There is one passage I think you misin*
torpret, "The bruised roed He" will not
break ' Do you know that the shophord
in .cn times played upon these reeds?
Th.y wero very easily bruised, but when
they were bruisml they were never mended.
The shepherd could so easily make another
one, he would snup the old one and throw
it away and get another. The Bible says
It Is not so with our Shephord. When the
muslu Is gono out of a man's soul, God does
not snap him in twain and throw him away.
Ho mends and restores. "The bruised
reed lie will not break."
Next I speak of the shepherds' dogs. They
watch tho strnyliiR sheep and drive them
buok again." Every shepherd has his doR,
from the nomads of the Bible tlmos down
to tho Hcoteh herdsman watching his flocks
on the Grampian hills. Oar shepherd employs
tho criticisms and persecutions of the
world as Ills doRS. There are those, you
know, whoso whole work It Is to watch the
inconsistencies of Christians aud bark at
them. It ouo of God's sheep gots astray,
tho world howls. With more avidity than
a shepherd's doR over caught a stray sheop
by tho flanks or lugged it by the ears
worldlitiRs seize the Christian astray. It
ought to do us good to know that we are
thus watched. It ought to put us on our
guard. They cannot bite us if wo stay near
the Shepherd. The sharp knife of worldly
assault will only trim the vinos until i they
produce better grapes. Tho more you
pound tnnrjoram and rosemary tho sweeter
they smell. The more dogs take after you
tho uuicker you will get to the gate.
You havo noticed that different flocks of
sheep have different marks upon thorn ?
sometimes a red mark, sometimes a blue
mark, sometimes a straight mark and some
. 11ii*73 > i iuutKu muni. i no i.oru our Nliep-herd
has n murk for his shoop. If is u rod
murk, tlio murk of the cross. "Messed arc
llicy '.lint arc persecuted for righteousness'
sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Furthermore, consider the shepherds'
pasture grounds. The old shepherds used
to take the sheep upon the mountains In
the summer and dwell in the valleys In the
winter. The sheep being out of doors perpetually,
their wool was bettor than if they
hud boon kept in the hot atmosphere of the
sheep cot. Wells were dug for the sheep
and covered with large stones in order that
tlii- hot weather might not spoil the water.
And then the shepherd led his flock wherever
lie would. Nobody disputed his right.
So the l.ord our Shepherd has a large pasture
ground. lie takes us in the summer
to the mountains tttul in the winter to the
valley.'. Warm days of prosperity come,
and we stand on sun gilt Sabbaths and on
hills of transit go ration, and we are so high
up we can catch a glimpse of the pinnacles
of the heavenly city. Then cold wintry
days of trouble come, and we go down into
the valley of sickness, want and bereavement,
and we say. "Is t here any sorrow like
iiiiIo my sorrow?"' Itut. blessed be Hod,
tin* Lord's sheep can lind pasture anywhere.
Itetween two rocks of trouble a
tuft of succulent promises, green pastures
beside still waters, long sweet grass between
bitter graves. You have noticed the
structure of i ho sheep's mouth? It Is so
sharp that it can take up a blade of grass
or clover top from t he very narrowest spot.
And sotiod'n sheep can pick up comfort
whercot hers can gather none, "The secret
of the l.ord is with t hem that fear him."
Lastly, consider the shepherd's fold.
The time of sheep shearing was a very glad
time. The neighbors gathered together,
and t hey poured wine and danced for joy.
The sheep were put in a place inclosed
by a wull, where It was very easy to count
thein mid know whether any of tlyni hail
been taken by the jackals or dogs. The
