Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Shepherd's Calendar, Vol. 1 of 2
But the old shepherd thought and felt otherwise. He saw God in the clouds, and watched his arm in the direction of the storm. He perceived, 'or thought he perceived, one man's ?ocks suffering on account of their owner's transgression; and though he bewailed the hardships to which the poor harmless creatures were reduced, he yet acknowledged in his heart the justness of the punishment. These temporal scourges are laid upon sinners in mercy, said he, and it will be well for them if they get so away. It will teach them in future how to drink and carouse, and speak profane things of the name of Him in whose hand are the issues of life, and to regard his servants as the dogs of their ?ock.
