virtues.
One inscription on a rock in Lycopolis reads:
81 never took the child from it's mothers bosom,
nor the poor man from the side of his wife"
Another inscription found in upper Egypt de-
clares, HE loved his father, he honored his moth
er, loved his brethren and never went from his
home in bad temper. He never preferred the
great man to the low one" Over a priest of the
time of Chambyses, the stone asserts: 81 found
graves for the unburied dead. l instructed lit
tie children. | took care of orphans as though
they were my own children" Upon the tomb of
a prince is the plea: 81 never oppressed the
widow nor the fatherless. l did equal Justice
to all. l did not treat cruelty the fishermen, the
shepherds nor the poor laborers. / cultivated my
fields that all might have food" On a kings tomb
in Thebes it is declared: ct lived in truth and
filled my soul with justice. l have given bread
to the hungry, water to the thirsty, and a shelter
to the stranger. How well / loved the gods We
know"
The Book of the Dead recounts the p~leadings
of the soul or those who plead for it before the
tribunal. 1t is such a plea as most of us would

desire to make if we faced an emergency SO vital.
The soul addressing the Lord of Truth denies
having done evil, saying:
"T have not afflicted any. have not told false
hoods. / have not made the laborer do more than
his task. I have not been idle. l have not muir
.dered. l have not committed Auxiliary. l have
not cheated by false weights. l have not kept
milk from sucklings. I have not boosted. l have
not stolen. I have not counterfeited nor bias
phemed, nor refused to hear the truth nor despis-
ed God in my heart. 1 have loved God. l have
given bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty,
garments to the naked and an asylum to the
abandoned"
It was a severe test that king and commOner
had to meet in order to win through to the place
of sacred burial. How many of us moderns would
pass it, if we, like they, must stand soul naked
in the market places to be accused by all and any
who might come forward? And in what manner
would our pleas to the gods of the underworld
differ from that put up by the Tutankhamens and
their subjects?
Which side of the sacred lake would you land
on? Conduct your own trial.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-04-11
THE COMMON PLEA.

When Tutankhamen and the common citizen
of his empire died distinction ceased, and each
must stand trial before given burial in the sacred
ground of Osiris, where the bodies of the justified
were to rest during the long journey of the SOULS
transmigration. Any person might bring accusa-
ton against the soul on trial which, if sufficiently
supported, would prevent disposition of the mum
my among those upon the sacred side of the
lake. This trial was conducted by masked priests
representing the gods of the underworld. Those
whose lives were proven of evil were taken by
their friends to be disposed of as best they might.
At best they lay in unhallowed ground, and apart
from those whose lives testimony supported in
righteousness.
If such trials were in vogue today the pleas
before the court would differ but little from those
made to that masked court Of the underworld be-
force which Pharoah and Fellaheen alike passed
in review. The ancient virtues are the modern

SHE is ON THE NEST.

There is always a danger to the retailer. The
easiest thing he does is to overbuy. If he has
overbought and prices go up he wins something
extra. But if he o~verbuys and prices drop he
stands to lose out entirely. Overbuying is by
way of speculation. Sometimes it wins.

And oft at night, when the hills grow dark,
And the hills loom large and dim;
For the shepherds voice we mutely bark,
And our hearts go out to him.
Meanwhile, Black sheep Black sheep , you cry,
Safe in the inner fold,
And maybe we hear and wonder why;
And marvel out in the cold"
Pretty stuff, good verses and Indicative of
youthful training. A fellow who could write that
verse had a chance. Somebody worked hard to
afford him education, books and opportunity.
He is an outside sheep, unfolded, and he's chilly.
outside the fold.
But the boy needn't marvel about it. There's
nothing marvellous in a stray sheep being chilly
and cold. This sheep evidently had a good pasture,
once and jumped the fence. Things looked green
er outside. He hated to be herded. The goat
on the junk pile looked to him like freedom. So
he jumped the fence.
This boy had been pretty well shepherded. There
isn't must doubt that those who loved him sought
him and strove to bring him back to the fold.
He went out to shear and be shorn. And when
he got good and chilly he remembered the fold.
This boy remembered the parable of the lost
sheep thoroughly. Be he doesn't say anything
about that of the prodigal son.
Perhaps we don't hunt the lost and strayed
sheep as closely as we should, but what lad or
lass ever left a home such as the verse indicates
this lad left without search by the shepherds
The master of the sheep fold called long and wait
ed in agony of spirit for the wanderer. There
was a light in the window to guide him home.
Chances are that it is still burning.
The fold is always there. It's gates open quickly
to the call of the stray sheep. However far the
lost sheep may have strayed, a call at the gate
rarely fails to bring prompt response. But the
fold is not a place of call to be remembered only
when the cold strikes in. 1t is a living place. He
must be of the flock.
There is light and comfort and food in the fold
When at night the hills loom huge and dim and
lonely, the wider range and the loftier mountain
slopes lose their charm. In the cold and dark
memory and regret are busy.
Best remember while the sun shines. Best quit
being so sorry for himself and be sorry for 9th
ers whose hearts he has wrung and whose lives
he has Swallowed. Best be honest and own up
Best quit bleating with cold and loneliness anC
for the fold instead of insisting that some shep
herd shall come and carry him back. 1t is a goo
thing also to remember that a Bible furnishes goo,
advice and offers a code of life and action a
we'll as a fly leaf upon which to write verse.
Everybody is sorry for the boys who stray
the bright lads who write good verse in prso
Bibles, the other lads who never had a home Xix
his must have been with books and school an
opportunity, we are all sorry for them. We'd lik
to be of help. But until the boys are not onl
sorry for themselves but sorry for others ther
isn't much to be done except keep the doors ope
and teach the lambs the way in.

LOST SHEEP

In a Bible in an Iowa jail a prisoner has written
the verses quoted below:
From our folded mates we have wandered far,
Our ways are harsh and wild;
We follow the beck of a baleful star,
Our paths are dream beguiled;
Yet, happily we sought but a wider range,
Some loftier mountain slope;
And little rocked of the country strange,
Beyond the gates of hope.
