Shepherd
Illustrations
In memory I can still see one of the sheep ranches in our
district which was operated by a tenant sheepman. He ought never
to have been allowed to keep sheep. His stock were always thin,
weak and riddled with disease or parasites. Again and again they
would come and stand at the fence staring blankly through the
woven wire at the green pastures
which my flock enjoyed. Had they been able to speak I am sure they
would have said, “Oh, to be set free from this awful owner!”
This is a picture which has never left my memory. It is a picture
of pathetic people the world over who have not known what it is to
belong to the Good Shepherd. . who suffer instead under sin and
Satan.
