"Jesus with Ills nudtenc might have scon tho shepherds gathering their scattered flocks If they grazed out from the courts of tho tomplo over the nelKhborlnsr hills." Public Commentary. PERSONS.-Probaa'r the buna man whom Christ had Just healed, some of Christ's disciples, aad some of the Pharl sees. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Twofold Parable: the Fold, the Shepherd. Vs. 1-6. First lot ub try to nut ourselves back among the Bheepfolds of Christ's time. How wero they arranged? "The fold was a walled enclosure open to the sky, with a solid door, which was closoly barred at night by the doorkeeper, and opened by him in tho morning, when tho snepherds camo to claim their sheep, which they had loft in tho fold tho nrovious evening, in order to lead out to nasturo." Century Bible. The door keeper, or "porter." would know that anyone found climbing in over mo wall was "a thief" (a sneak thief), or "a robber" (a moro violent rascal.) The Twofold Interpretation of the Parable. Vs. 7-42. What double anal ogy did Christ draw from the parablo? He was tho Door (v. 7) and the snepherd (v. 11). Why did he run tho risk of confusing his hearers? Bccauso truth Is so many-sided, and Christ means so much to men, that many comparisons are needed to picturo It all. First Analogy: Christ, the Door (vs. 7-0). How is Christ like tho door of a fold? Through him alono can men enter into the peace and Bafety that a fold implies safoty from the ravening boasts of sin, peace in the consciousness of safoty. Through tho door. too. they go out (v. 9) into tho pasture." "What am a doo' fo any how? Jos' to shot yo' out, Jos' to shet vo' in' or to let yo" thro'. Jesus am de Doo', de way into de Kingdom; an he am do Doo', de way out into life. He sho' did say. 'If yo' enters in by me. yo shall be saved no evil can git by de Doo Jesus. 'An yo' shall go out an' In!" Honey, dat am do free dom what ho am all de time promisln'. An' yo' shall find pasture.' Dat am do fullness of life what he am all do umo tollln' 'bout When yo' passes out an when vo passes in, yo sho nur has to pass right by de Mastah, and look him plum squar' In de eyes." J. W. Lawrance. "Go In and out" was a phrase familiar to the Jews. See Deut. 28: 6; Psa. 121: S; Jer. 37: 4. Why did Christ say he w.13 tho door of the sheep, rather than "of tho fold?" Bocause Christ was thinking of his Individual followers, the sheep, rather than of tho fold, hla church. He is the door of both. Who were those that came before Christ, the thieves and robbers, whom the sheen did not hear? Not the prophets, who humbly pointed forward to Christ, but the Jewish leaders of the time lust before Christ, and es peclally the Pharisees. They had laid manv heavy burdens upon tho people, who had been compelled to obey the severe reoulrements of formal religion. but their hearts never yielded to these false leaders, "tho sheep did not hear them." Second Analogy: Christ, the Shepherd (vs. 10-18, 22-30.) As opposed to the Pharisees' wrong way of enter lng tho Kingdom, Christ was tho Door; but as opposed to tuo cnarac tor of the Pharisees, he was the Shep herd. "As mediator between God and man. he Is the Door: as prophet or teacher, he is the Good Shepherd." James M. Macdonald, D. D. mis is a frequent metaphor of the Old Testa ment, applied to God and to uoa s honored servants (Num. 2c Psa. 23; SO: 1; Isa. 40: 11; Jer. 23: 1-4: Ezek. 34: 11-10; Zech. 11: 4-17.) Homer often speaks of hl3 kings and leaders as shepherds; see also Plato s Republic, Book I. "Tho figure has Impressed Itself deeply on tho mind of Christendom, and Is conspicuous in the art and literature of tho churches. It Is still the emblem of tho Christian ministry, from the ofllco of the bishop, with his pastoral staff, to that of tho villago preacher, who Is known as pastor." Century Blblo. "This is the favorlto and most touch ing figure In tho Catacombs, it seems to inspire tho early Christian painters with dellKhtful skill. How was Christ like a shepherd? Tn (1) his care of men (vs. 10-13), in (2) his knowledge of men (vs. 14, 15), in (3) the breadth of his lovo for men (v. 1G), in (4) the eagerness of men's love for him (v. 27), In (5) his dlvlno commission to care for men (vs. 15, 17, IS, 25, 29.) Two Kinds of Hearers (vs. 19-21. 31-42.) ChrlBt's words, Hko a twoodeed sword, always divided his hear ors Into two classos: thoso that mocked at him or raged against him, and thoso that wont away thoughtful and Impressed if not convinced. I: the last half of tho chapter is to bo referred to tho same occasion aa tho first half (see "Titno"), tho first set nf hearers oven trlod to stono Christ for his claim of unity with God. This stoning for blasphemy was prescribed in Low 24: 1C, and tho Jews had attempted It only two months before. In which class of hearers sua you?

PROPOSED COMMISSION A SHAM.

"Non-Partlsan" Body to Revise Tariff Is Out of the Question. Th upociflo tariff measure which tho National Association of Manufacturers favor Is tho Bovorldgo-Steoner-son bill, which provldos for a non partisan tariff commission to gather Information, mako suggestions, and guide congress In revising tho Dlngloy schedule. This wonderful commission Is to be appointed by tho prosldont, a Republican, with a view to carrying out his own Republican policies. Tho people who aro urging It say that they are Republicans and protectionists, but assumo that tho poor, fleeced. abused, Insulted, racked and ruined multitudo will regard them as non-partisan nnd entirely disinterested. In splto of their confessions to tho contrary. We assumo that their proposl tlon la both unconstitutional and Inexpedient. It is unconstitutional becnuso "all bills for raising revonue shall originate In tho house of representatives," while the bill In question originated In the senato, and becnuso It would have tho effect of putting the Initiation of tariff bills In the hands of a commission "appointed by tho president with tho advice and consent of tho senate," and thereby deprive the house of its prerogative in this vital matter. This scheme Is an attempt to tnko away from tho representatives of the people tho power of taxation secured to them by tho constitution of the United States. It is not only an unconstitutional measure, but a deceptive, hypocritical measure. Its authors and backerä know that any commission appointed by a Republican president and confirmed by a Republican senate would be a Republican and partisan commission. They know that the question of high tariff and low tariff tho question of protection and monopoly is a party question. Thoy know that the Democratic doctrine Is to take away monopolies, to remove the legal obsta cles to wholesome competition now existing, and to get down as soon as possiblo to a systom In which every tub shall stand on Its own bottom. In manufacturing and commerce. They know that the Republican doctrine Is the nntithcsls of this. They know that It Is Impossible to find any honest man who can he non-partisan on this question. And, thereforo. they know that they are engaged In a huge bunco game. Even If tho bill should pass tho courts will refuse to give it the effect designed by its advocates. Fooling the People. The Republican leaders have tho tariff revision issue all fixed up to their satisfaction, with the evident Intention of fooling tho ' people again. No such dangerous method as a tariff commission is to be attempted, but the whole matter is to be within the keeping of tho stand-patters of tho committee on ways and means of tho house of representatives and the finance committee of tho senate. According to the Now York Tribune, which is undoubtedly In the confidence of the Republican leaders, the tariff program Is to he carried out by congress giving those committees authority to "hold sessions In the recess and conduct such examination Into the tariff schedules as may be deonwl wise in view of tho approaching revision." This is the way tho Washing ton correspondent of the Tribune un derstands the pins have been sot up. President Roosevelt Is to "contribute his share" of this Republican conspir acy for revising tho tariff higher by detailing a committee of appraisers, collectors and "other treasury ex ports" to supply statistics and "sug gestions." That will bo what the Republican? call revising tho tariff by the friends of protoctlon, and we have the assurance of Secretary Root and the other Republican leaders that tho Intention is to add to tho present schedules maximum rates to be imposed on tho products of thoso countries with whom no reciprocity treaties exIsL What Is the uso of promises of tariff reduction if the revision is to he in the hands of those who would reviso the tariff higher? Republican Indicts His Party. When you como to analyze it and think about it, Gov. Black's indictment of his party Is as severo ns It la true. Gov. Black nominated Roosevelt for vice-president at Philadelphia In 1900. He has beon one of tho national leaders of the Republican party for many years. Thereforo, when he espressos an opinion of his own party that opinion may Justly be regarded aa a Just 'and fair statement Now, Gov. Black recently said: "Wo havo seen . . . tho independence of tho courts, tho fixod and salutary boundaries of co-ordinate functions, the guaranteo of fair play, the scrupulous regard for tho limitations of official power, all Btaggerlng under blows inflicted in tho party name." And since all tho blows under which theso thlng3 nre staggering havo been rendered effective only because tho Republican party has by a vast majority raado thorn effectlvo by its unqualified approval, surely tho party is aa rotten and reckless as its leader. Nothing Doing. It Is not likely that olthor tho Aldrich bill or tho Fowler bill will pass at the present session of con gress. One of thorn seems' to bo in the particular Interest of Morgan nnd Rockefeller; and tho other, of Carnegie. The people havo no lot or part In either. Why shouldn't our war vessels be constructed at government navy yard a?
