MRS. COOPER'S CLASS.
Christ, the Good Shepherd, and How He

Christ, the Good Shepherd, and How He
Cares for His Flock.
In opening the lesson of the day Mrs.
Cooper stated that the parable of the Good
Shepherd was Christ's comment upon the
malignant action of the Pharisees in cast
ing out of the synagogue the man whom he
had mercifullv healed Of his blindness. be-
cause he had the courage OF his convictions
and stood up for his divine healer. These
Pharisees professel to be shepherds of the
theocratic fold, but in casting out that man
they had shown themselves to be hirelngs
and not shepherds. Here" said Mrs.
Cooper. lis a lesson for the ages. There
are false shepherds still. Many church
has hireling and not a shepherd.
"'How was the true shepherds to be dis
criminate ed from the false was asked. by
their works We shall know Them was the
reply. good shepherd is watchful OF his
flock. He is tender sympathetic, courageous
and sef-sacrifcing. He is a good leader.
He leadeth them in green pastures and be-
side the still waters. There is another
point which this parable emphasizes very
strongly. 1t is this: The good shepherd
individualizes his flock. He deals with them
personally. not in u mass. 'He calelh his

coffin made for him forty years ago. DR..
Speer was one of the incorporst0rs and Sec
rotary of the Allegheny Cemetery. Forty
years ago, in identifying the grounds. a
large walnut tree was cut down.
The trunk was given to John McMasters,
carpenter for the cemetery, to do with as he
pleased. McMasters made two elegantly
carved collins from the trunk of the tree.
He concealed both caskets in the attic of the
house OF the Superintendent In the ceme-
terry, where they remained undiscovered for
nearly twenty years.
Upon the death of the wife of DR.. Speer
McMasters took one of the collins from its
hiding place and presented it to the family,
and Mrs. Speer was buried in it at his spe-
cial request. Then he told the Superin-
tendent of the cemetery that the other coffin
was intended for the burial of DR.. Speer.
but urged that the matter be preserved a
secret from DIR. Speer himself. His wish
was respected and DR.. Speer's relatives have
been notified chat the coffin was at their dis
