s UNDAY LESSON VII Jesus the Good Shepherd John 10: 1-42 Printed Text John 10:1-16. Golden Text--I arn the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. John 10:11. Time--The discourse on Christ as the Good Shepherd was uttered in October A.D. 29. The events recorded in the last of the chapter took place in December of that year and in Janu- -The ( 31-ded i this chapter took place in Jerusalem, cept the one found in verses 40-42, which is to be located in Bethany beyond Jordan. 1. Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep. The sheepfold was a walled enclosure, with a strongly barred door, through which alone access could be had to the sheep. Through this door the sheep were led at night, after which the gate was barred. A porter slept near the gate on the inside of the enclosure. In the morning the shepherd knocks on gate, it is opened to him, and he calls his own sheep out. But climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. A man who had no right to go through the door, who would not be allowed to enter the door, and who would resort to climbing over the wall to seize a s'>eep is truly "a thief and a robber." 3. But he that entereth in by door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3. To him the porter openeth. 1 sheepfold speak of the true church, the body of Christ; the sheep, of course, are those who are the true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, the children of God; the shepherd is the Lord Jesus, though he has not yet nounced himself as such. Professor Plummer says we might take the porter to be the Holy Spirit. And the sheep head his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. Frequently three or four shepherds will lead their sheep into one sheepfold at night. It is on the most amazing sights in the Orient to see a shepherd approach, say, s hundred sheep, belonging to four or Ave different shepherds, and, by a peculiar guttural sound, call his own sheep out from amongst the others. 4 When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. Tho shepherd £g<-sjief£r-; doing "so",'he is The first one to meet prowling beasts and to see pla« danger which must be avoided. Lord has gone before us in conflict with Satan, and has defeated him. so that we follow in that victory. 5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice or strangers. Strangers, as far as Christians are concerned, are those false teachers and false prophets who would lead astray the very children of God. G. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which lie spake to them. They did not understand Christ's teachings because they were not sincere; they were not really seeking for the truth. 7. Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell, the famous Labrador kably illustrates the meaning of rerse: "One of our party, climbed, noticed a shepherd driving his sheep into a large kind of th an open mouth. In reply t estion, he said: T am puting them ay for the night to be safe from the jackals and dogs.' But she objected: 'There is He replied simply: 'I am the door.' It s the Eastern shepherd' ie down across the doorway of such caves, and with his own life tect the sheep." All that came before 'es and robbers. By this Jesus not mean that all the prophets of the Old Testament and the true of God in Israel's history thieves and robbers, but that all who themselves pretended to satisfy needs of men, to provide in themselves salvation from sin, had illegally and falsely assumed such prerogatives and, therefore, had robbed their followers of the peace, joy, life, and hope which they falsely had promised But the sheep did not h them. It does not say that no i heard them, for great multitudes did, but the sheep, those who truly belong God, whom God had called, would : follow these false teachers and shepherds. the door; by he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pas- (Cf. Matt. 7:14). approaches God by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is a man who will find entrance into the new life her and in the glory to come, and is cn ho certainly will be saved, for n man can come to Christ sincerely but that Christ will receive him. 10. The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. Satan is the great thief. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. To follow Christ know a richer physical life, a clearer, stronger mental life, a sweeter domes-honorable social life, and, pre-eminently, a true, eternal, spiritual life, the very life of God. 11. I am the good shepherd. At last Christ identifies himself actually the Shepherd of the sheep--the good shepherd layeth down his life for the •y significant that almost every passage in the New Testament that speaks of the love of God for man and the love of Christ for man also speaks of the death of the 3:16; 4:10). 12. He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep not. The hireling was simply a hired shepherd, who himself terested in the flock, but was caring for it simply for the money he ceived. Beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth thorni, and scatter eth them. The wolf represents any enemy of Christ who, at the same time, of course, would be an enemy of " e welfare of Christ's own. 13. He fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. The hireling flees because he is interested only in himself and his welfare. Christ was concerned first with men. He came to minister and to lay down his life a ransom for 14.

Farm problems Conducted by PROFESSOR HENRY G. BELL Question -- "I have your bulletin No. 364 "Manures and Fertilizers," of 1931 and observe the mixture designed to produce a 2-12-6 fertilizer. From another source, I have the following suggestion for the 2-12-6 formula: fM lbs. Ammo-Phos 10-48, and 200 lbs me. "The whole experience of Christ ur shepherd gives him an increasing knowledge of us. 15. Even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. "As the shepherd is always with the sheep and so deeply interested in them, the shepherd comes to know his sheep very intimately. 16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. Christ is here referring to the Gentiles, as a great company distinct from the children of Israel, and yet, with them, equally the sheep of his fold. Them also I must bring. Literally, the verb should "lead." And they shall hear my voice. Millions and millions have heard the voice of Christ, through the written word, and his witnesses down through the ages. And they shall become one flock, one shepherd. The each believer has the same privileges as another; we are bound together by a common faith, a common hope, and one Lord (Eph. 4:5). She Cottons to Lace iate of Potash, to give 700 lbs. It is claimed that the 700 lbs. can sown without any filler at the rate of 70 lbs. per acre, which should give the same results as 2-12-6 sown at the rate of 200 lbs. per acre. I would be pleased to know from you if the latter method and ingredients are more modern than those mentioned in your bulletin, and also if it would be quite satisfactory. Would sawdust, reasonably dry, make a satisfactory filler to keep mixture from becoming lumpy if it lay some time before being used? Also is it at all successful to mix fertilizer with the grain in the drill box when a fertilizer drill is not available or does the fertilizer run out first instead of coming evenly with the grain?" H. T., Renfrew County. Answer -- In answer to your first question, home mixing is not a new practice. I saw it used with varying success 25 years ago in New Brunswick and Maine. The ingredient Ammonium Phospate, 10.48, is a comparatively new product. It is highly concentrated and contains available nitrogen and phosphorus as guaranteed. It has been mixed in the quantity that, you quote, which closely approximates with the potash, the /analysis 2-12-6. As to it being quite satisfactory, I am not prepared to say. Some claim to have gotten good results from it. If the mixture has been made carefully and applied evenly, I see no reasoi why it should not give results. I cer tainly advise adding at least 300 lbs of filler to make the mixture up to the % ton quantity, since I doubt if you can get a drill that will sow evenly and thoroughly in quantities of even 100 lbs. per acre. In answer to your question about sawdust, I would not recommend it is a filler since it takes up moisture ■ather readily and is very light and bulky. The best type of filler is something that is about the same specific ity as the fertilizer material. En- gineering tests have shown that the material that is heaviest, flows from the drill more quickly than lighter specific gravity material. In mixing fertilizer with grain iu the drill box, this same point is encountered since grain is not the same specific gravity nor the same size kernel as is the fertilizer. I doubt if you can get even application of fertilizer through the grain drill box, if fertilizer and grain are mixed together, pecially is this the case if there much moisture in the air or if the grain is at all damp. There is also danger of seriously injuring your grain drill. If you do sow the mixture through the grain drill box, be sure to clean it out thoroughly, immediately after drilling has been completed. position.

For her work in connection with flower pollens causing hay fever she was made an associate member of the Toronto Academy of Medicine. From 1921 to 1934 she was associated in her work with the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment, first at -Connaught Laboratories and later at Christie Street Hospital. Upon the abolition of the department in 1934, she entered the commercial field-Alfred Johnson of Woodstock, is a brother.

If the radio programs given by ' Myrt and Marge" for so long were among your favorites, you'll be glad to know that a new series done by that popular couple has started. It's a family affair, for "Myrt's" son is now on the program, and 'Marge" is her daughter,- The son, George Dam- _ efel, used to go to the University of Southern California, but he left college to tour with his mother on the stage. Looks as if "Myrt" had built up a pretty good business for the family by writing those sketches, doesn't it? Grace Moore has had to abandon her career on the concert stage and on the air, temporarily, in order to take a much needed rest. She has been working hard in pictures--in fact, she has turned into a real trouper, and the temperament that used to cause so much trouble ia well under control. In "Stowaway" you'll see Shirley Temple doing imitations of Eddie Canton and Al Johnson and doing them well. The funny thing about it is that the child star never has seen either of them; just worked the imitations up from what she was told about the two gentlemen's work.
