him to Jesus, who presents himself

. 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

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?

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

.' 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

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! , .

The City Cousin
I've been fooled before, but nev
er like this!
No telling how long I would have
labored '.under false : impressions
about farming. in North Carolina
and in general If I hadn't run a
crdss that little book. " '
It's a brillianty conceived piece
of work that looks like one of those
vestpocket dictionaries you see ad
vertised. Although it does contain
a definition here and there, it Is
really the 1947 Handbook for Agri
cultural Workers prepared by the
State College Extension Service,
and to stamp out a new idiom,
there is more there than first met
the eye of this City Cousin when
he planked down a dollar for his
copy , - ,
With this book, you . can quit
trying to find out what to plant in
your garden between March 1 and
IS, and if you want to know what
to do for drooping chickens, well,
the dope is right there in the little
manual that tells everything but
the weather forecast for next East
er Sunday! ... , ' -,
