The preeeding verses of chapter 10 are Important, for they identify Jesus as the true Shepherd. He peaks of bis people as bis sheep. ' Hocks were sometimes kept In the field at night, as was the case on the night when Jesus was born tn Bethlehem. But ordinarily they were brought into a sheepfold, where many flocks gathered for pro tection. A shepherd was on guard at the door. Thieves would climb the wall to steal sheep, but the true shep herds, when they came In the morn ing to lead forth their flocks, en tered by the door. They called out their own flock by name. It la said mat only sick sheep win follow a stranger, which may ex plain why so many false Isms of our day appeal to the sick and lead them away from the Good Shepherd. Do you know his blessed voice? Have you responded to his call? Will you follow him? Decide now. Consider the beautiful figure of the shepherd as the door of the sheep fold. When the sheep enter the fold to rest, he is the door. When they are ready to go out to feed in green pastures again, he is the door. Note that they go in and out. Be longing to Christ Is not bondage. If any man enter in by Christ the Door, he Is free to go In and out, to And pasture, to live for and to serve him. " '''. The Door" what a striking flg nrel It Is s means of entry, the only way in. Ivory door has two . sides' and the side we are on de termines whether we are inside or outside eaved or lost Children oft en sing: "One Door and only one. And yet its sides are two Inside and outside; On which side sre you?" Then repeating the two first lines comes the direct testimony snd question, , "I am on the inside; On which side are you?" D. The Keeper ef the Sheep (w. 11-M). We mink of sheep as peacefully grazing on the hillside an idyllic picture in the summer sunshine. But there were dangers to meet It is to with Christ's- sheep too. and then he la there to keep them. The wolves come out as the shadows gsther. They come to kill and to scatter. Where men is the shepherd? If he Is only a hireling, serving tor what may in it" for him, he will flea. How perfectly this pictures relig ious leaders, who, ta spite of their welling words and Ingratiating manners, desert the flock in the hour of adversity. FsiMveether friends are they, who disappear when dark ness and danger appear. . In the darkest hour Jesus la near est at hand. He never falls. He has no fear, for has he not tested mo bitter death of Cavalry tree for you and moT He la the Good Shepherd. He gave bis life for the sheep.

The asviessr of she Cheap (w. 14-1SK . v HO laid down his life for the sheep. Ah. yes, it la all too true that evil men laid wicked hands on him and crucified him. Their guilt is awful. But it la clear from Scripture that until the hour had come for Jesus to bo made sin for the redemption of man, they could not touch him (see Luke 4:39, M; John 1:58). When the time came, Christ is id 4mm hit Ufe in accord with "the de terminate counsel and' foreknowl edge of God" (Acts 1:23). He died for us, not as a martyr to a cause, or the victim of an accident or mis carriage of Justice, but willingly, and for the glory of God. Tea, he died for us, but he slso died for every lost soul who will hoar his voice. There are "other sheep" about whom the Lord is deep hr concerned. Are we?

IT.ff .c ". t done in March. T am Fair Play Sweden dues not even approximate the wealth in natural resources ; of Russia or America, yet her per cap ita Income is 'far above. Russia's and is almost as high as America's! What is the secret of this prosperity? For 20 years. I have been trying to find the formula for national pros perity in observing nations ; all around the world. What is it that gives Sweden a country . the size of Oklahoma and Arkansas,; with limited natural resources an indi vidual prosperity that puts her high In the running?':. ; -7 v The people of Sweden are very sturdy, with more than half of them passing the age of 70. The health of the people ij remarkable, the per sonal appearance of the people on the streets, excellent; Almost with out exception they are neat clean, and well-dressed. Streets in Swed ish cities are unusually clean and in good repair, for apparently all citizens take pride in . keeping them that way. . Wholesome Thinking I found everywhere a spirit' of wholesome living and fair play, and I discovesed also that these things were based upon the strong religious foundations of the people. - During the week I spent in the heart of Sweden's largest city, I saw not a single drunk nor any indications of lewdness, things 'which are so appar ent in the parks of London and New York. The spirit of fair play and honest competition is manifest in every quarter in Sweden. People count more on it and ta'k more about it and mean it more sincerely than any people I know. For example, ' the -man who is responsible for running the affairs of Sweden's trade unions wants industrial corporations to make a reasonable profit.' r .Typical Attitude ' ' He wants to maintain private own ership and management, ''tie wants fair play between labor and industry. He wants wages kept at a level that Will assure a market for the great-test volume of goods. He wants co operative understanding between la bor and industry. His attitude, I was told by everyone, is typical of the Swedish labor leader. He shuns' Communism or state socialism. He wants individual freedom, not regi mentation of people's lives. Honest-to-goodness fair play, man ifested through a spirit, of fine co operation on the part of every group that competes in the game of eco nomics, is the. key . to the prosperity' of this 'small" but great country. The people think 'of competition real active competition as the basis of prosperity.! None of them suffer the illusion that state management of industry could provide effective competition or the prosperity equiv alent' to that of private enterprise.: Floors, But No Celling There is much that we could emu-: late in Sweden. This fair play and competitive spirit goes right down to the shops and factories, 85 of which are. operated on incentive plans based onpiecework, or , on bonuses paid for certain' achieve ments. .There are floors for wages, but no ceilings. This means that those willing to work harder may earn more than the minimum. Yhis rule rightly belongs in our own American tiaditions, but let us not forget it. A Swedish labor leader told me: "Piecework is the chief means of Increasing production. That's why most of our industries have it. This enables a good worker to earn more than a lazy worker. Our workers all agree to it so It is a happy situ ation. We realize Mat high produc tivity offers the only means of sus tained high wages. I am amazed that people everywhere do not rec ognice this principle." - State College Hints To Homemakers - By VERNA STANTON ' I Assistant State Agent f:." .' Wintertime is sewing time, for many families. The ..workman-like sewer, whose machine whirls - so smoothly, keeps an oil can. handy and uses it after each day's work. For oiling, use household mach ine oil, the kind recommended. for your Sewing machine. Squirt a drop or two In each oil hole and to each bearing - that is, wherever one surface rubs against another USE PIIIEE,: Cuts, Sores, Burns It's Different : You'll Like If Ci 'i i . 1 f . i-t to' any L 1 LI ci tut or ball of wool that feeds oil to the shuttle race. If there It no felt or wool, wipe a thin film of oil on the race. But never oil theensions of the machine. '-: ''"; Do not over-oil., Too much oil on the shuttle race or needle can cause stitches to skip. . When oiling it finished, run t the machine to work oil into the bearings and then wipe off all excess oil as un wanted oil collects .dust-sM' Keep all parts of the machine's working parts free from lint and when not 'in use, keep machine covered to protect it from dust Letting the pressor foot down on a scrap of cloth helps the 'tension stay at proper adjustment and takes up any excess oil 'that may run down the bar, If the machine is left idle for a considerable time, occasional oiling keeps the oil in the machine from drying out and becoming gummy. -.- Almost any well-made sewing machine can be made to run easily and tew perfectly. Parts may need replacing in time, but sewing ma chines last two or three genera tions If periodically oiled, cleaned and adjusted. Even a misused ma chine often can be put into good working order again! , . AT HOME ON THE FARM WITH The City Cousin I've been fooled before, but nev er like this!
