SKIN TROUBLE ITCHED BADLY

Glenns p. O., Va.-"My baby's trou-
BILE began with an itching and then
little bump would come and she
could not rest day or night. The trou-
BILE affected her whole body. The
bumps festered and came to head
and the corruption looked like thick
matter. kind OF a yellow color. The
sores itched so badly until 1t seemed
to me she would scratch herself to
pieces and then sore would form
and her clothes would stick to her
body and pull off the little scab. In
some places she would scratch and
irritate the sores until they seemed
to be large. She was affected about
a year.

1t will do no harm to shear just as

though IL the shed is convenient to
the pasture they will generally go
into 1t of their own will, particularly,
when gusty, heavy wind and rain
storm comes on.
Lambs are silly pates and must al
ways be shown things. If they are
made to enter the shed with the moth
er in time of storm they will soon
learn to do so always. but they must
be watched or else they may wander
about In the rain and get soaked and
chilled and die.
If the sheep carry heavy coats dur
ing the rainy spring months they are
likely to become soaked, because they
will often stay out till they feel the
water on their hides. Once a heavy
fleece is thoroughly wet through, 1t
takes a long time to dry out, particu-
larly in cloudy weather.
This is one reason why sheep
should be sheared early as possible
On the home farm Of the writer we
always sheared our sheep in March
and with good results. both as to
the wool crop and the health of the
sheep. We used the old-fashioned
spring, sharp-pointed shears, but the
hand machines of today are much bet
ter. Some men who go about from
farm to farm shearing sheep still use
the old hand shears and an expert will
do very well with them, but the anna
teur will make sad work Of the shear
ing and clip many a piece from the
animals skin.
With a hand machine a small flock
can be quickly disposed of by the
owner of the flock who should al
ways do his own shearing. For large
fiocks the power machines in the
hands of experts do the work rapidly
and we'll.

True and false Shepherds.

". Tho Lost Sheep, w. 4-7.-The
shepherd is God the son (John 10:11.
IL; Luke 1910. He is the True
Shepherd" the Pharisees were false
ones. This adds point to the parable;
see the Old Testament rebukes for the
same, Ez. 34:7-10; Zech. 11:16-17; Jer
50:6. The lost sheep belongs to the
fold, but was out of place. These
outcast ones were still Israelites and
the backsliding Christian still belongs
to the fold. A sinner is a lost sheep

]. Introduction, wv. 1-3.-We now
come to that chapter in the Bible
which contains three of the more
celebrated parallels Of our Lord. In
last weeks lesson we had set before
us the severe terms Of discipleship
laid down by Jesus to the multitude
which followed him as he left the
house of the Pkarisee. The writer,
Luke. makes a close connection be-
tween the final admonition about
"ears to hear" in chapter Ii and
verse 1 of this lesson. Jesus had
sifted the crowd though he had left
the door open to himself, for he was
seeking those who were prepared to
share with him in his enterprises of
building and OF conflict, If they could
bear his teaching. This is responded
to by those outcast ones. the publicans
and the sinners. They had no
righteousness of their own, no spirit
ual hope centered In themselves and
they turned eagerly to one who was
unQualifedly honest with them though
at the same time he set up heart
searching conditions. What con-
trast! The grumbling theologians,
criticizlng and pickering, grieved that
he should demean himself by such
associates. In reply, Jesus shows
them the truth OF the fundamental
purpose of Gods attitude toward these
who eagerly sought to hear" by Civ
Ing them these parallels. In the first
two, the sheep and the coin, we see
divine love seeking the sinner: in the
third, the prodigsS. we see the sinner
seeking the father. Christ's idea OF
goodness consists in saving the bad.
The Pharfsee holds aloof. Christ goes
out from among the Pharisees and
among the outcasts.
