to be Federals, might pass through the

Poultry and Garden Fence

From all parts of the country there
has come a demand for a special
poultry fence, one that could also
be used for putting around gardens
and yards, and strong enough if nee
essary to keep out horses, hog and
cattle. After careful consideration,
the manufacturers of the Electric
Welded Fence have designed a Per
feet fence of this kind at very
moderate price. 1t is not netting,
understand, but a good substantial
fence, and is close enough at the bot
tom to keep out the smallest chick
ems, and you need no top or bottom
boards. For further information re-
garding this fence write us for cata-
logue.

The division of chapters is arbi-
trary, and, in this instance, unfortu-
nate. One must look in the closing
verses of the proceeding chapter to
find the circumstances which led to
the speaking of this allegory. Jesus
had said that he had come for judg-
ment; that those who saw not might
see, and that these who saw might be
made blind The official pride of the
leaders was touched by that saying.
To parry his blow, they cried, AS
if such thing was impossible and
even unthinkable. Jesus practically
said, in response, 81 will now hold
up the mirror and show you what
kind of shepherds you are" His mer-
ciful purpose was to awaken some of
the best to self-knowledge and heal
ing.

Jesus had lately used those indls
pensables, light" and water" as
emblems of His Office and function.
He now employs a new figure, almost
as familiar, for the Hebrews were al
ways pastoral folk. This, with the
story of the Vine and Branches lchap-
fer XVI, is said to be the only instance
of allegory in the New Testament.
The Jewish Church had grown into
"A great ecclesiastical establishment,
furnishing numerous offices of honor,
power, and emolument. These were
naturally sought by the ambitious,
and held tenacicusly by the success
full. One object of this allegory is to
set forth the character of these mer-
cenaries. Like thieves, they haye
effected an entrance IN such a way
that their true character has not been
discovered. But, though they have
obtained the garb of office. they do
not have the following of the true
members. The latter. instead of fol-
lowing, flee, and do not hear them
The character of these false shepherds
is further delineated. They work
havoc in the highest interests of men.
They steal, kill, and destroy in the
realm of spiritual values. Their
surely mercenary spirit is indicated
by the epithet, "hireling" In any
inal crisis. when the very life of those
whom they serve is at stake, they
would fly like arrant towards. Thus.
with steady and gorgeous hand,
Jesus held the mirror before the hier-
archy of His day.
On the dark background of the false
shepherd Jesus now projects the
ideal of the true. He is one who en-
tiers upon His func ton in the appoint
ed way. The Holy Spirit (the porter
approves; the Church recognizes Him
the sheep hear His voice.. His life is
spent in care of the flock; He calleth,
leadeth, putteth forth, goeth before
Jesus makes a decided turn in the
allegorv when He declares Himself to
be 1.-THE Door" Entrance to the
Church is by the Person and work of
Jesus. As the Eastern sheepfold has
but one door, so the Church has none
other than Christ. There is none

to salvation and spiritual sustenance
find pasture) and the more album
dant life.
Again, there are shepherds and
shepherds, but Jesus is prominently
the Shepherd. The evidence of this
is His voluntary surrender of life and
the reciprocal and perfect recognition
subsisting between shepherd and
sheep-analogous to that which main
tains between Father and Son.
Finally Jesus bursts the shell OF
Jewish sectarianism in the generous
! and coura geous words, "Other sheer
| have which are not of this fold" II

these sectarists, on a former occasion
to ask scornfully, "Will He go and
