Excerpt from Some of God's Ministries Face upwards and look down to the earth, - and behold distress and darkness and the gloom of anguish, and into thick darkness they shall be driven away. Dr. George Adam Smith recalls Assyrian sculptures of the scene, how the captives were driven in gangs like negroes to the coast, or convicts to' Siberia, pushed on by soldiers in the ranks, whilst the weak, who could not keep the pace, were tossed aside to die. An experience like that is burned into the memory of a nation, and after half a century the horror of it was undiminished so this promise was peculiarly cheering, as it spoke of a return under the most opposite conditions. The image of the shepherd suggests a leisured progress, where none is overdriven, and the feeblest rules the pace of all: and their Shepherd is Jehovah, so that at every step they may look for the sheltering, provident kindness of Almighty God.
