From Where We Stand ~.
WE
Who hath believed our report? And to
whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a
tender plant, and as a root out of a dry
ground: he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and
carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem
him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgres
sions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we
have turned everyone to his own way; and
+he Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought
as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep
before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth
not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from
judgment: and who shall declare his gen
eration? For he was cut off out of the land
ot the living: for the transgression of my
people was he stricken

to his entry comparing his calf with all the
others. A feeling of pride and elation swept
.hrough Farmer Boy’s chest. It was a long
way to the bottom as he looked down across
the class from his Ist place position.
And when the loud speakers blaired,
‘'The winner in this Jr. Yearling Calf Class
. . . is . . . Farmer Boy,” he was really on
top of his pride. And so were his mom and
dad.

STORY
Isaiah 53:1-8

pointed everytime he looked Farmer Boy’s
way. Farmer Boy was really "shook-up v .
He had a reputation of being a winner.
“Just so that judge doesn't put me on the
bottom," he thought. "That would be just
too humiliating for words."
But the judge just didn’t like Farmer
Boy’s calf. And the harder Farmer Boy
tried to show the calf, the more obvious it
became that —.
It looked like a long way to the top as
Farmer Boy glanced up over the top lines of
the large class of calves that day from his
last place finish. Farmer Boy truly was dis
appointed. And so were his parents.
Now it’s today. Farmer Boy is finished
with youth work. It is all in his past. He’s
looking for a job either in agri-business pr
production farming whichever offers some
thing to his liking. He is being interviewed.
He has his blue rosette slightly revealed
in his left coat pocket.
The personnel manager sits down and
peers over his darked rimmed glasses.
"Farmer Boy, what qualifications do you
bring for this job?” he asks. Farmer Boy
shifts slightly on his chair, not wanting to
sound too proud.
"Sir,” he says meekly after a moment,
“I have this blue ribbon I won at the county
fair in 1986.” Farmer Boy pulls the ribbon
out of his pocket a little further for the
man to see.
“Oh, that’s nice,” the man says, “but
what do you really know about animal
type?”
“Well,” Farmer Boy reports hesitant
ly, “I learned a lot about animal type the
time I ended up on the bottom of the class.”
“Fine, excellent. There is nothing like
a bottom finish to get a good lesson in what
is wanted in type.”
“And, what other qualifications do you
have. Boy?” the man asked.
“I have this blue ribbon I won.” Boy
looks hopefully at the personnel manager.
But the manager isn’t impressed.
“What do you know about understanding
other people about putting yourself in
the other boy’s shoes? If you’re hired how
will you understand how to get along with
vour other employees?”
“Well, I was at the bottom once so I
know how it feels to
“Fine, excellent I” the personnel man
exclaims, “You’re hired.”

In order to be able to sleep well, one
