John 10:11. Timo â€" Tbo UiacourBO ou Christ as the Good Shepherd was ultored In Octobor A.D. 29. The events recorded ill the last of the thaptcr took place in IK-cembcr of that year and in Janu- ary, A.D. 30. riace â€" The events recorded in this chapter took place In Jerusalem, ex- cept the one found in verses 40-42, which Is to bo located in Bethany be- yond Jordan. 1. Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, II." that entereth uot by the door Into the fold of the sheep. The shecpfold â- was a walled enclosure, with a strong- ly barred door, through which alone accoBs could be bad to the sheep. Through this door the sheep were led at niKht. after which the gate was barred. A porter slept near tho gate on I he In.side of tho enclosure. In the miirning the shepherd knocks on the Bal<-. it is opened to him, and he calls his own sheep out. Hut climbeth up Bonie other way. the same is a thief rikI a robber. A man who had no rl^:lii to go through the door, who Would not be allowed to enter the lloor, and who would resort to climb- In;; over the wall to seize a s'-oep is truly "a thief and a robber." 2. Cut ho that entereth in by the 3oor Is the shepherd of tho sheep. .'!. To him tho porter openeth. The glic.-pfold speak of the tiue church. lh<' body of Christ; the sheep, of course, are those who are the true followers of the Lord Josii.s Christ, the children of God; the shepherd is the Lord Jesus, thoui;h he has not yet an nounccd liinisilf as such. Profeosor Plurmiier says we mlBlit take the por- ter In be the Eloly Spirit. And the ehecp head his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and loadeth till m out. Krequently three oi four Bhi'plierds will lead their sheep into one sheepfold at nlRht. It is one of till' most amazing sights in tho Orient to •â- â€¢(â- *> a shephcril approach, s;iy, seven bnndicJ sheep, belonging to four or five (lifferrnt shepheids, and, by a pu culiar guttural sound, call his own elie'p out from amongst the others 4 When he hath [lut forth all his o« u. he Koeth before llieni, and the slii-.'I) follow him: for tlu^y know his Voice. The Kliei)lier(l goes before the sheip because he knows the way. In d<jiii;4 so. he is the first one to meet pi'iiwling be.isis and to see places of (laiij-cr whidi must be avoided. Our LorJ has gone before us In conflict Willi .Satan, and has ilefcated him, so th.it ue follow In that victory. fi And a flraiigei will they not fol- low, but will flee from him: for Ihey know not the voice or strangers. Blian.gers, as far as Christians are c-oi'.i-.'rned. are those false teachers ind false prophets who - wouui l^ad stray the very cliPdren of God. G. This parable spako Jesus unto hem: but they understood not what 'hiugs they were which he spake un- 1 them. They did not under-itand f'hrist's teachings because they wore uot sincere; they were not really â- .eekiiif; for tho truth. 7. Jesus therefore said unto them igain. Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. Sir Wil- fred T. Grenfell. the famous Labrador physician, had an experience which emarkably illustrates the iK'aniug of this ver.se: "One of our party, as wo climbed, noticed a shepherd driving his sheep Into a large kind of cave with an open mouth. In reply to her question, he said: 'I am puling them way for the night to be safe from I he jackals and dogs.' Rut she ob- jected: 'There is no door to the cave.' He replied simply: 'I am the door." It is the Eastern shepherd's custom to 'ie down across the doorway of such caves, and with his own life to pro- tect the sheep." 8. All that came before me are thieves and robbers. By this Jesus does not mean that all the prophets of the Old Testament and the true priests of God in Israel's history were thieves and robbers, but that all who in themselves pretended to satisfy the needs of men, to provide in them- selves salvation from sin, had illegally and falsely assumed such preiOK:iliv(>s and. therefore, had robbed their fol- lowers of the peace, joy, life, and hope which they falsely had promised to bestow. But the sheep did not hear them. It does not say that no one heard them, for great niultitU(l!\'i did, but the sheep, those who truly b-loiig to (!od. whom (Jod had called, would not follow these false teachers ami shepherds. !t. I am the door; hy nie if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and hliall go in and go out, and shall liiid |ias- ture. (Cf. Matt. 7:14). A man who approaches (iod by believin:,' in the Lord Jesus Christ is a man -vlio will tind entrance Into the new life here and ill the glory to come, and H ene who certainly will be saved, for no man can come to Christ sincerely hut that Christ will receive him. 10. The thief Cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. Satan Is the great tlii(^f. I cani(^ that liny may have life, and may have it abundantly. To follow Christ is to know a richer [ihysical life, a clearer, stronger mental life, a sweeter domes- tic life, a more honorable social life, and. preeminently, a true, eternal, spiritual life, the very life of God. 11. I am the f^oort shepherd. At last Christ identifies himself actually as the Shepherd of tlu^ sheep â€" the good shepherd layeth down his life for Ihe sheep. It Is very Bigiiillcaiit that al- most every jiassage In tho New Test- anient that speaks of the love of God lor man and the love of Christ for man also speaks of the death of the Lord Jesus Christ for man (for In- Married in France Lends Tone to Party rhiiloKraplied above are Mr. and Mrs. James P.

I no Lord (Kph, 4:5) Question â€" "1 have your bulletin .\o. 364 "Manures and Fertilizers," of ll»:!l and observe the mixture design- ed to produce a 2-12-G fertilizer. From another source, I have tho following suggestion for the 2-12-G foi-mula: .^lOO lbs. Animo-l'hos 10-4S, and 2U0 lbs. .Muriate of I'ctash, to give 700 lbs. It is claimed that the 700 lbs. can be sown without any filler at the rate of 70 lbs. per acre, which should give the same re:iults as 2-12-C sown at the rate of 200 lbs. per acre. 1 would be pleased to know from you if the lallei- method and ingredients are more modern than those mentioned in your bulletin, and also if it would be quite satisfactory. Would sawdust, reasonably dry. make a satisfactory filler to keep mixture trom becoming lumpy if it lay sonic lime before be- ing used'; Also is it at all successful to mix fertilizer with the grain in the drill box when a fertilizer drill is niu aviiilable or does the fertilizer run out first instead of coining evenly with the grain?" 11. T.. Renfrew County. Answer - - In answer to your first iiuestion, homo mixing Is not a new practice. I saw it used with varying success 25 years ago In New Bruns- wick and .Maine. The ingredient Ani- nioniuiii I'hospate, 10.48, Is a conipar- iitively new product. It is highly con- centrated and contains available ni- trogen and phosphorus us guaranteed. It has been mixed in the quantity that you quote, which closely approximates with the potash, tho analysis 212-U. As to it being quite satisfactory, I am not prepared to say. Some claim to luive gotten good results from it. If tile mixture has been made carefully and applied evenly, I see no reason why it should not give results. I cer- tainly advise adding at least oOO 11).;. of filler to make the mixture up to the '/i ton quantity, since I doubt if you can .get a drill that will sow evenly and thoroughly in (luantities of even 100 lbs. per acre. Ill answer to your question about .s;iwdi;st, 1 would not recoliimeinl It as a filler since it takes up moisture rather readily and is very light and bulky. The best typo of filler is some- thing that is about tho same specific rravily as the fertilizer material. Kii- giiU'eiing tests have shown that the mat(-rial that Is heaviest, flows from the drill more quickly than lighter specific gravity material. In mixing fertilizer with grain iu the drill box, this same point is en countered since grain is not the same sp'cific gravity nor the same size ker- nel as is the fertilizer. I doubt if you can get even application of fertilizer through the grain drill box, if fertili- zer and grain are ml.^red together. Es- pecially is this the case if there is much moisture In the air or if tho grain is at rtll damp. There is also danger of seriously injuring your grain drill. If you do sow the mi.xture Ihrocgh the grain drill box, bo sure to clean it out thoroughly, imme- diately after drilling has boon com- pleted. Prophet Foretells Canadu'U.S. Union â-  ALBANY.

One of the trade magazines of the motion picicro industry startled the workers In the busineas recently by publishing a report on the popularity of the screen stars. For months and months, people had been told that Uobort Taylor had climbed to the very top: that he got more fan mail than ("lark Gable did. that bis name above a theatre was magic, because it drew so many paying customers that, in short. Mr. Taylor was tops. Butâ€" according to this report. Clark Gable is the screen's most popu- lar actor! r.,ast year Shirley Temple held that position. This year she is second. Fred Astaire and Giuger Rogers as a team come third. Robert Taylor fourth, and William I'owell fifth. In case you're interested, the other leading stars are listed in this order: Myrnu Loy. Claudette (Jolbert. Norma Shearer, Gary Cooper, Frederic March Jeanette .MacDonalil and Nelson Eddy as a te;<.m, Lionel liarrymorc. It is nice to report that James Cag- ney's new picture.

"Do you Want to Be an \c- tor'."' If .vou haven't, do! It's very entertaining. People who are in the audience are given roles in scenes that are douo before the microphone, and after each performance the best woman performer and the best map are given movie tests by Warner Bro- thers. It's quite possible that some of our future stars will he developed iu this way. If the radio programs given by ' Myrt and Marge" for so long were among your favorites, you'll be glad to know that a new series done by that popular couple ha.s started. It's a family affair, for "Myrt's'' son is now on the program, and ' Marge" is Uer daughter. The son.
