willing to learn. but was little
slow ana dun OF comprehension, but
he gave him q Bible and said. "If
you learn the Psalm by heart when
1 come back this way I will give
you a present for a reward"
And the boy sprang nimbly to the
task, anxious to earn the reward.
About eight months later this col
porteur went back to the neighhor-
hood and he raped on the door,

dressed In black and her face looked
sad and the tears tricltled down her
checks when he asked for the little
boy, ana she said:
"lie IL In heaven. lie died six

you came back that he had his
psalm and you can give me the book

was an old Seotchman named
Father Duff. IIe used to have hun
dreds of sheep and he would sit on
the hillside, and he used TO light
his old pipe by hitting two pieces
OF flint together, and from the
spark he would light his pipe. He
would sit there and smoke and doze
and blink in the sun.
His eyes were little dim and he
had ii spyglass. and he'd. pick Il up
and sweep the valley to see whore
The sheep were. and he'd speak TO
his collie dog and say. isis, they're
n little too far away you'd better
bring them back"
And she'd bound TO her feet and
turn them all into the foothills. She
would come back painting, and he'd
pat her ON her head and say, isis.
you're n good girl"
And then he'd sit there and smoke
and doge In the sun and he'd pick
up his spyglass and say, isis, you'd
better bring 'em back again, my
girl" Away she would go and turn
them all into the foothills.
From that eipinenee he over
watched them,

this city was going away~from Him,
ana l think the Lord saw that you
were becoming dazed with your
greatness and grandeur. And | be-
lieve God Almighty dropped this old
tabernacle down here and sent this
campaign us q sort OF shepherd dog
to turn the minds and thoughts and
footsteps OF the people back To the
church, back TO tho cross. back To-
the Bible.

a hog drinking slop from n trough;
never mutter a word OF gratitude:
dazed by your wealth and blinded by
your prosperity. God Almighty said
Il will have To do something. and I
don't want 10 start n famine win
