Lastly consider the shepherds fold.
The time of sheep shearing was a very
glad time. The neighbors gathered to-
gether, and they poured wine and
danced for joy. The sheep were put in
a place inc,Osed by a wall, where it
was very easy to them and know
whether any Of them had been taken
by the jackals or dogs. The Enclosure
was called the sheepfold. Good news l
have to tell you, in hat our Lord the
Shepherd has a sheepfOld, and those
who are gathered in it shall never be
struck by the storm, shall never be
touched by the jackals of temptation
and rOuble. 1t has a high Wall-So
high that no troubles can get in, 50
high thai the joys cannot get out. How
glad the Did sheep will be to find the
lambs that left them a good many
years ago. Millions of children in
heaven. oh, what a merry heaven it
will makei Not many long meter
psalms there, They will be in the ma
jority and will run away with song
carrying it up to a still higher point Of
ecstacy. Oh, there will be shouting!
If children on earth clapped their
SERMON Gal 3
hands and danced for joy, what will
they do when to the gladness of child
hood on earth is added the gladness Of
childhood in heaven?
1t is time We got over these morbid
ideas of how we shall get out Of this
world. You make YOU religion an I'M
dertaker planning collins n driving

varnish Of a funeral casket. Rather
let your religion today come out and
show you the ~sheepfold that God has
provided for you All, you say, there
IS a river between this and that! |
know it, out that Jordan is only for the
sheep washing, and they shall go up on
the other banks nov white. They
follow the great Shepherd. They heard
his voice long ago. They are safe now
one fold and one Shepherd!
