steals; the robber uses violence as well
as steals.
2. "Shepherd:" One of the shep
herds. There may be several Docks
in one fold. This is a reft raucc to the

3. "The porter:" The underMicpberd
who has charge of the door and stays
all night- with the several flocks in ths
fold. It is not certain that Jesus in
tended tho porter to represent nnyone !
In the Christian church, but this term
may have been used simply to com- j
plrte the description of the oriental
fold and manner of using it. "Hear His

not driven, and they obey the call of
the shepherd as dogs obey their mas
ter in this land. "Ityname;" A refer
ence to another eastern custom, that. of
naming the sheep (is we do dogs aad

5. "A stranger will they not follow:"
Sheep have no curiosity to follow when
they have no knowledge of the leader.
"Will llee:" Fearing danger.
6. "They understood not:" H was
not easy to understand, but they were,
often punlod because they were alow

7. "Then said Jesus unto them

statement that had nuzzled them. "I

said afterward: "I am the way."
8. "All thieves and rob-
bers:" The blind leaders af the blind;
the false teachers; the proselytizers;
the men who refused to enter the king-
dom themselves and hindered those
who would enter; those who even then
were seeking to destroy th Door, Jesus
Christ. The reference, of course, is
not to the godly teachers of the past,
"The sheep did not bear Uiem:" But
the goats did, for they had followers.
9. "Shall bo saved:" An oriental
turn of expression. Probably tne sal
vation referred to here was not for
the shepherd, but for the sheep, though
it may be that boti are included. "Find

ness to find pasture for the flock, but
perhaps the flock is referred to as
above.

we should accept, love and obey Him
as the Shepherd of our souls; and a pic

THE delights of an evening spent around a well-lighted read
ing table are not half understood. An illustrated magazine
with its wealth of illustrations, its stories of adventure and
love, its descriptions of travel which carry you to the remotest
ends of the earth, and its instructive articles for young and old these
are the first requisites for your own enjoyment and the entertainment
and proper education of your children. 4
' 'To secure for you the best and most interesting of the great illus
trated magazines at the lowest possible price has been the aim of the;
editor of this journal. That we have succeeded we leave our readers
to judge. A special contract recently entered into with The Cosmo
politan, which seeks to become better known in this neighborhood, h.xs
enabled us to offer you a year's subscription to the greatest of the illus
trated magazines together with a year's subscription to this journal
Both Together One Yearfor On ly $ 2JB
In this way you secure your own home paper and an illustrated
magazine at a price that is only about a fourth of what some of tlv:
illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has
undisputedly claimed that it reached the largest clientele possessed by
any periodical, daily, weekly or monthly, in the world. It was The
Cosmopolitan which sent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the world
know the real horrors of famine and plague. It was The Cosmopol
i' hi which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondence
University which now has over 20,000 students on its rolls. It was
The Cosmopolitan which offered a prize of $3,000 for the best horse
less carriage and prizes for best plans for public baths, and best arrange
ment of sewer and pipe systems for cities. It was The Cosmopolitao
which et the presidents of great schools and universities seriously
discussing the defects of existing educational systems. It is The
Cosmopolitan whose enterprise is always in the lead in advancing the
world's civilization.
We have also succeeded in arranging for two additional oilers iu
connection with this journal and The Cosmopolitan.
After placingon yourbook-table the best of the illustrated magazines
in connection with your home paper, probably the most important
thing iu a household for every houseliold, in fact is the propel
keeping of accounts. The only thorough system of Self-instruct ion
in Bookkeeping is the "lillis." It is not only a complete instructor,
but with it, neatly put up iu a box, go sales-book, cash-book, journal,
ledger, bill-heads, statements, bank-book, bills payable and bills re
ceivable, checks, remitting book and every conceivable appliance for
beginning and carrying on the business of the farm, the shop, thr.
manufactory or the store. More people fail in business because tliey
jo not keep their accounts straight than from any other cause.
Farmers and mechanics, husbands and wives, students and profes
iional men, young and old, rich and poor, all need some knowledge of
accounting. By the "Ellis System" this is easily acquired Hatougti
borne study.
The cheapest price at which this is sold at retail is Si. 75 (express
from Michigan unpaid), but The Cosmopolitan has purchased ntfnjr
thousands of sets so that it may offer them if taken in conbection
with this paper and The Cosmopolitan
