THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE
D.L. Moody told the following: A friend, who was traveling in the East, heard that there was a shepherd who still kept up the custom of calling his sheep by name. He went to the man, and said: ''Let me put on your clothes, and take your crook, and I will call them, and see if they will come to me.''
And so he did, and he called one sheep, ''Mina, Mina,'' but the whole flock ran away from him. Then he said to the shepherd: ''Will none of them follow me when I call them?''
The shepherd replied: ''Yes, sir, some of them will; the sick sheep will follow anybody.''
A man in Australia was arrested and charged with stealing a sheep. But he claimed emphatically that it was one of his own that had been missing for many days. When the case went to court, the judge was puzzled, not knowing how to decide the matter.
At last he asked that the sheep be brought into the courtroom. Then he ordered the plaintiff to step outside and call the animal. The sheep made no response except to raise its head and look frightened. The judge then instructed the defendant to go to the courtyard and call the sheep. When the accused man began to make his distinctive call, the sheep bounded toward the door. It was obvious that he recognized the familiar voice of his master.
