Agnes M. Winter tells a story related by a friend, of how, during the World War, some Turkish soldiers attempted to drive away a flock of sheep while a shepherd was sleeping. It was on a hillside near Jerusalem on a warm afternoon. The shep herd was suddenly aroused and saw his sheep being driven off by a band of Turkish soldiers. This particular shepherd wds sym pathetic to the British, and besides he did not want to lose his sheep. But single-handed 'he. could not hope to recapture his flock by force. Suddenly he had a thought. Standing up on his side of the ravine, he, put his hands to Ms mouth and gave his own peculiar call, the call he gave each day to gather his sheep to him. And his sheep heard it. For a moment they listened, then, hearing Jhis call again, they turned and rushed down one side of the ravine and up the other. It was quite>;impossible for the Turkish soldiers to stop them, and they could not rush down the ravine in such a headlong fashion. So the shepherd was away with his sheep to a place of safety before the soldiers had made up their minds if it were worth while to pursue them. “My sheep know my voice.”

A remarkable incident occurred in 'connection with an en campment of Shantung soldiers located at Shanghai. One day a dog wandered into this camp with some leaves of a book in his mouth. Thè soldiers caught the dog and read the fragment of the Book. It was a p o rtio n 'd the Word of God. ' They became much interested and followed the dog to a Christian hospital near by and asked for more of this kind of literature. This was, of- course, gladly given to them. As a result, Dr. Goforth and a Chinese evangelist visited this camp, and two hundred men were enrolled as inquirers. If God can so use the mouth of a dog to deliver His Word, can He not use you and me?
