I'ASTOIt CI.OSI-: TO PKOII,K.
By Bishop Chenry.
Like the famous picture of Uein
briiinlt. pninlnl by himself, so this Is
Cluifts i.wn portraiture by Christ's
own pencil. Ii H0id be interesting
to trace the parallel between the orien
tal shepherd in his relations to his
Itoi-k and Christ lu His relations to
His people, but my purpose Is rather
lo point out Hie hearing of this par
ihle of the good shepherd up,,,, ,),f.
iife work of a Christian pnstur. For
the name "nastor" Is onK- ti, rn.,
term for a shepherd. In the repre
sentation of Himself as the great Khep-hi-nl
of the sheep our Lord has
defined exactly what the pastor of n
congregation should aim lo be.
I wish Hint less were said nowadays
about the authority of the ministry
and more about its special work. Men
are not driven by authority into the
kingdom of Christ, our Lord says
Hint the good shepherd Is one who
g.ics before the thick and. instead of
driving, lends them. In Palestine the
business of Hie shepherd was to lend
hi" sheep lo piistuiage where the food
Indispensable to life s to be found. In
iii- same way the one duty of the
'In isl lau shepherd Is to makc""siirc
thnt his sheep are fed. That fact
sh iilld detei inine the character of
pi.iicuimr. ,.,,t of necessity the'
prem-h tig w hich ci.llects a crowd. The
bcaiing of a p,iig can do that. Nor
the delivery of learned mill cIoiiieiit
lectures. Keiil prwiching Is thnt which
feed the soul. Men go away, not Ray
ing: 'How beautiful:" "How elo
quent.'" but "How helpful:" "How It
touched my eoiiw-lciice:" 'How it
f-tn-ligl helled nie for my battles'."
Hut tills pastoral fie d.ng of (lie flock
Is not limited to pulpit effort. The
good shepherd "calls his sheep by
mime, mid tjny kiow his voice."
('inly something Is wrong In our
m th.iH when the mlu's'.er Is called a
"lMsicr,' Hint k a shepherd, and yet
knows as little of hla proplo as a rail
way conductor knows of the passen
ger utnler his charge. The pn-tot
who Is a stranger to the Inner lives
and to the homes of his people Is like
one w ho tries to evoke music from the
Instrument whose strings or keys lid
does not know one from another. In.
our great cities the clergy are nor,
wholly In fault when they have give;!
up (he effort to know their people.
Too much outside work Is laid upon
them which laymen would do as we'l
or better.
How far from the standard I have
set up today my own long ministry
his been I am more conscious than
you. Hut It Is the only standard
When my work Is ended, rather than
any other epitaph would I have th!
written above my ditst; "He was a
pastor who fed the flock."

Man in-eds n revelation of deity.
Ureece, the brain of the world In Its)
clearest philosophic one, had in
Athens with an altar bearing the pit
eons Inscription, "To the unknown1
Hod." Hocrales. the greatest pagan
thinker, acknowledged this need of
revelation, saying: "We must of ne
cessity wait till some one from Him
who eareth for us shall come and In
struct us how we ought to behivi
toward !od and toward men." plali
said; "We cannot know of ouraelve
wh it petition w ill be pleasing to Cod.
or what worship we should pay k
h in. but it Is necessary that a lawgiv
er should he sent from heaven to In
struct us. h, how greatly do I long
to si e Hint man:"
Man needs a revelation of duty. An
cient philosopher mill inodiTn skep
tics ghe us no code of morals, coin
parable to the Hlble code. Those fa
miliar with classics and with the his
tory of tJreece and Home In theli
balmiest days, as well as the writings
and lives of modern skeptics, inch as
Kotiaseaii, Voltaire, Palno and others
need no deinoiistrnt Ion of the world's!
need of inch a code as the Bible sti
plies. Professor Huxley, the fathe
of modern agnotistlclsin, pleaded will-,
the school board for the Hlble ai tin'
aource of the highest education for
children; tie also confessed perplexity
"to know by what practical metaurea
the religious feeling, which la the es
sential basis of conduct, was t be

If one is in l lie raising of sheep ex
clusively, one can afford to go into tha
question of fancy breeds suited to th
market to which he is catering, but the
average farmer who raises sheep simp
ly as uie more crop from which hi
li; pes to derive an income, should select
the 1 1 recti from those most common In
his sect ion. The general purpose ewe,
if this term may be applied to sheep,
is the tine witli some Merino blood in
order to obtain the heavy tine fleece.
It has been observed that the animal
with the close, dense fleece is the vig
orous, hardy animal. The ram should
be of a good cross or a pure bred, if tic
sired, but care should be tak n thai
he is t f a breed suited to thrive in
Die section where he is to remain am
under the conditions with which he
will be surrounded. In selecting sheen
for the farm it Is generally wise to
look after the merits of each individ.
mil regardless of Hie bred to whicli
she belongs, for there are good breeds
with poor members of the family jus)
as there nre good members in breed!
that are not so highly rated. In most
sections where sheep may be raised
to advantage there is room for iminj
more I ban nre now raised. If farm,

fully increasing their holdings as thej
gain experience, they could makt
