THE Lord is my Shepherd: / shall
not want" The word Lord is printed
in italics. That means Jehovah, God.
So greatly did the Jews respect and
reverence God that the name "Jeho-
YAH was pronounced only once a year
and that on the great day of Atone
ment, and then only by the high priest
after he had gone into the holy of
holes, screened and shielded by the
blood of the sacrifice. Then when
alone in the holy of holes, the high
priest would pronounce the name "Je-
hovah," and so wonderfully did the
Jews Of old reverence God, they would
not step on a piece of parchment, lest
the name "Jahovah" be written on
the under side.
Oh, with all our boosted civilization,
all our searchlight, electric light, all
our wonderful advancement, my
friends, we have advanced in every
thing under heaven except in morals.
We have advanced intellectually and
physically; we have been born again
and made over, except in morals. We
need to be born again.

Interesting.
The work of the shepherd is very

nence he overlooks his flock, lest they
wander and roam away.
When l was a boy in Iowa, there was
an old Scotchman named Father Duff
He used to nave hundreds of sheer
and he would sit on the hillside, and
he used to light his old pipe by hit
ting 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 a little dim and be
had spy glass, and he's pick it VI
and sweep the valley to see where the
sheep were, and he's speak to his collie
dog and say, isis, they're a little
too far away; you'd better bring then
back"
And she'd bound to her feet anG
turn them all into the foothills. Shed
come back painting, and he'd pat hel
head and say, isis. you're a good
girl"
And then he'd sit there and smoke
and doze in the sun and he'd pick VI
his spy glass and say, isis, you'd bet
ter bring 'em back again. my girl.
Away she would go and turn the NAL
into the foothills.
From that eminence he over
watched them.
Oh, l think God Almighty saw tina
this city was going away from Him
and think the Lord saw that you wer,
becoming dazed with your greatness
and grandeur. And l believe God Al
mighty dropped this old tabernacle
down here and sent this campaign as
sort of shepherd dog to turn the mind
and thoughts and footsteps of the PEG
| pie back to the church, back to thu
cross, back to the Bible.

Many a night I have watched oil
Father Duff come home and he woul

The next day he was there. Dime
