ODAY'S Study is a parable ap-
plicable, we believe, at the
~ present time. 1t begins with
an a~rraignment' of the pastors
of the Lords flock. 1t accuse them
of appropriating the wool and devour-
ing the best of the flock, but neglect
ing to lead them to the green pas
lures and "the still waters of Gods
Word. The parable pictures the Lords
flock scattered here and there, some
wounded, some lean and hungry, all
neglected by the false shepherds.
We understand this as s~ignifying
Gods true saints. Nominal Christiani-
ty fares well enough, but the Lord
does not recognize nominal Christians
as His flock. They are goats, not

DRINKING BEFORE MEALS.


DRINKING BEFORE MEALS.
At a meeting of a medical society a
prominent physician read a paper on
"Appetizers," in which he gave the
results of scientific experiments made
at Yale university. DIR. e. II. Cleve-
land of Flower hospital, New York
city, writing of these to the New York
Times, says:
at seems that to one group of stu
dents a good dinner was given with
out alcoholic accompaniment, and in
their case, a couple of hours later,
normal digestion was found we'll ad-
vanced. To the other group Of stu
dents the same dinner was given, pre-
ceded in each case by an appetizer
such as cocktail, gin fizz, etc. After
the same interval the digestive proc
esses of this second group were found
on examination to be imperfect. Ger
tain chemical elements in the food
taken showed that the digestive juices
had failed to act upon them, owing to
the presence of alcohol in combination
with these elements.
Serious and permanent interference
with normal digestion was clearly
proved by these experiments in every
instance. Had the Investigations been
carried further, SO as to include the
efficiency of mental action and nerve
reaction, as we'll as efficiency of di-
gestive faculties, there is no doubt
that precisely similar results would
have been obtained.
"The appetizer, so called, is not in
reality an appetizer at all, but is a
devitalizer, pure and simple, destruc-
tive of the normal processes of the
digestive apparatus and of the men,
tai powers in direct proportion to the
frequency with which it is taken"

tics, harmless dissertations well filled
with jokes. Do they not furnish most
of the money? Would they not with
draw from the church if spiritual food
were dispensed? For these some are
providing smokers" parish houses
supplied with games, etc.
The shepherds were not appointed by
the Lord to look after the goats; and
this prophecy is a reproof to them.
Gods true flock is scattered, in many
denominations and outside of all.
They become the prey of the beastly
of the world, and are ensnared into
various false doctrines. For this con-
dition the Lord holds the unfaithful
shepherds responsible.-Verses $40.
Many Bible students believe that this
Scripture is being fulflled-that we
are living in Christ's Parousia; and
that for some years He has been pres
ent, gathering His truly conseerated
people out of all sectarfan systems and
from the world. The Great Shepherds
voice is to be heard now; for it is the
time of His Second Presence. He is
about to complete His flock of this Cos
pei Age and to glorify them with Him.

Homeland VERSES lib is Heaven it.
self; and His bringing them there will
meal their resurrection change. But
He also declares. "Other sheep l have,
which are not of this fold; them also
I must bring; and there shall be n
fold, and one shepherd."-John 1O:11-16.
The Second Flock and Its Fold.
The Lords other sheep will include
all who during the Millennial Age will
gladly avail of Gods gracious provi-
sion for them. They will be of a diff
ferent nature from the flock of this
Gospel Age. The flock now being gath
cred are begotten to a spirit nature,
which they will attain by a resurrec-
ton Change Peter Ia; 1 Cor. 1850.
The other sheep will be the Lords
great flock, the great family Of Adam,
years the separating between sheep and
goats will progress, as outlined in Mat
thew 25:3146. All mankind will be in
vited to come under the Lords shep-
herding care. By so doing and devel-
oping His spirit, His character-likeness,
they will be granted everlasting life
on the earthly plane.-Acts 3:19-21.
The goats of that time, thank God
are not to be tormented, as many of us
once supposed. They are to be cut off
from life: ''These 1.-THE goatsl shall go
away into everlasting cutting off
[Greek, kolasinl; but the righteous
1.-THE sheepl into everlasting life" For
a thousand years the Great Shepherd
will remain, to gather out fully all His
flock of the Millennial Age and destroy
all except His sheep. All who really
love righteousness and hate iniquity
viii become the Lords sheep. All the
wilfully wicked will be destroyed.

ALSO LOSES INDEBTEDNESS.

M%oundville, w. Va, has reduced its
floating Indebtedness from $4,000 to
$500. "This floating Indebtedness
was piled up several years ago while
the city had a big income from saloon

Now that the city has lost the saloon
revenue it has also rid itself of the

yENGEFUL MINK BIT TIRES.
An,o;s, Finally Solves Mystery OF
Nine Explosions.

Ronzonia Mich, May bert
Peters has solved the mystery OF ms
automobile tires. Since last Septen1-
her in spite of the fact that ne mas
had his small car out Of the garage
only a few times, he had had to h"y
nine new tires.
The first exploded early one morn
inc after he had been driving the
car at night.
When it happened the second time
he grew suspicious and when he found
the third tire mutilated he came to
the conclusion some enemy was chop
ping his tires with Ratchet.
He doubled padlocked the garage,
The other morning he was asleep in
his room when sharp explosion
awakened him. Selling his gun he
sprang to the garage just in time to
find mink crawling dazedly across
the floor Bert killed it.
Now he recalls that just before the
first tire blew out last September he
ran over mink. He thinks that
the mink's mate has been biting holes
in his tires to revenge the killing of
its life partner.
