dued. quiet confidence which speaks OF
a heart mellowed by years and OF q
faith made sober by many trials Je-
hovah never failed him. The Lord has
an inexhaustible supply to provide for
all our needs.
Early in life the psalmist came to
know this through his close communion
with him as shepherd boy watching
over the fiocks of his father. Jesse, and
later when he was exposed to the trials
of the jealousy of Saul and the re-
bellion of his son Absalom.
If we put our faith in Christ and do
His will, we shall never want. for with
the gift of Jesus to men God will also
freely give all things. (Rom., 1922
We ali need the shepherding care OF
the Lord because, like sheep. we have
gone astray. Jesus proved that He
was what He claimed to be, the Good
Shepherd, when He died for US.
The writer to the Hebrews refers to
our risen Lord as the Great Shepherd
who rose from the dead, and Peter
speaks of Christ as the Chief Shepherd

! Travelling through the land of sacred

paths for his flock. His reputation,

care of the fiocks. He leads them in

| turn, even when they do not recognize
/ the danger that threatens them not
only in the narrow defles and valleys,

ALASKAN REINDEER MEAT
COMING TO U. S. MARKETS
introduced on Dining Cars of Rail-
roads, It Meets With Instant
Favor.

Active efforts to establish a new and
profitable industry among the Eskimo
natives of Alaska through the eAporta-
ton of reindeer meat are being made
bv the bureau of education. with the
cordial support of Secretary Lane of
the Interior Department.
Until within the last few months no
special endeavor had been made to in
duce the expectation from Alaska of
reindeer meat. because substantially
the entire available supply was needed
for local consumption. Rapid increase
in the reindeer herds, particularly dur
ing the last two years, now warrants
the supervisory officials in sanctioninS
the expectation to continental United
States Of considerable surplus of both
meat and hides, to the distinct profit
of the natives.
The meat of the reindeer. which or
dinarily has been regarded as a draft
animal, Is of excellent quality, and pos
sesses a flavor as fine almost as that of
venison, 1t Is said. In the market 1t Is
sold as a meat delicacy. Last autumn,
