Last week we considered some of His names for us— that He calls us His children, His heirs, His friends, His brethren Let us to- day remember together some others. He calls us His sheep. Then let us be sheep. So many insist on trying to be the shepherd instead. Let us realise that the sheep cannot care for themselves or protect themselves ; the responsibility is all on the shoulders of the shepherd, not on theirs. " The Lord is our Shepherd." " We are the sheep of His hand." Let us cease then from trying to be anything but just simply what we are. He calls us Branches of the Vine. Let us'fe branches then, realising that we have no life apart from the vine, that a branch cannot bear fruit of itself. " Abide in Me." " Every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit." He likens us to trees, to flowers, to clay, to instruments. How often we try to be the husbandman, the gardener, the potter, the master workman, instead of being what we are. " Trees planted by the rivers of waters." " The vineyard of the Lord, His pleasant plant." " We are the clay, Thou art our potter." '• Yield your members as instruments of righteousness unto God." Let us leave in His Divine hands the care of our growing— the fashioning and the moulding according to His Will— the use to which we, as His tools, shall be put. He calls us His treasure. " Ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me. If God can call us His peculiar treasure, let us take the joy of it to our souls. We always take especial care of our treasures, and God will surely take especial care of His. He likens us to chickens. " As a lien gathereth her chickens under her wings. It is just because we are little and helpless that He wants us under His wing. If we were strong and capable of protecting ourselves, we would not need it. He does not call the roosters. Let us consent to be the little chickens. ' He shall over thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust. H. W. b. FROST I FROST I PREVENT COLD AND COUGHS!
