"Few sheep were raised in our settlement, and those only for their wool. The untamed Smokies were no place for such defenseless creatures. Sheep will not, cannot, run wild. They are wholly dependent on the fostering hand of man and perish without his shepherding."
(from Our Southern Highlanders, by Horace Lockhart)
Even so, God's sheep do not do well in the world. They need the nurture and protection of the church that He set up as a home for them while they sojourn here in this world.
