observed in the show window one not

The landscape with figures is a quiet,
peaceful landscape, the soil Is fertile,
and the small stream which winds
through the fertile fields is not only
beautiful, but restful. Walking near
the stream Is a shepherd clad in ORR

and fTm. but the quality OF sincerity is
Convincing honesty and humility. The
sheen are following the shepherd in an
orderly manner, as though well salts
fed and confident in his protection. The
picture is evidently an Illustrative mo-
tive taken from the Twenty-third
Psalm.
