DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE

Teen•Age
Sophisticates

By HELEN TENNENBAUM

WALKING IN A Winter Won-
" derland, that's what these last
days have seemed like, even if
you walk to
school at the
rise of dawn.
Let's all make
a special effort
to do our very
best in what-
ever we have
chosen to un-
dertake this
new semester.
Let us realize
Helen
that no one
gives us our marks but that we
earn them for ourselves with our
own efforts. Let us set a high
goal for ourselves and try our
very best- to attain it.
We'll feel pretty wonderful
when we know that we're doing
our utmost and we can then take
out time for parties and dates
that'll be twice as wonderful
with the knowledge that every-
thing is coming along wonder-
fully in school.
Let's try to make new friends
and acquire some new interests
in the months to come that will
really signify steps in the build-
ing of our futures.

FROM SHEPHERD TO KING
By RABBI ELY E. FILCHER
(In 'Liberal Judaism')
JESSE, DAVID'S father, earned
his livelihood raising cows,
sheep and goats. lie had a great
many of these, especially sheep
and goats, so he needed many
shepherds to take them out to
pasture. All the boys around the
place worked with the flocks. It
was a big job and everybody had
to do his share.
When David was still a little
bit of a boy he asked his father
to give him a chance to work
just like the other boys. "All
right, David," said his dad, "to-
morrow you can start with a few
lambs and kids, and we shall see
how good you are at it." That
was exactly what David was hop-
ing for.
• • •
HAPPY DAVID, with a shep-
herd's crook in one hand and his
lamp in the other, started out
bright and early the next morn-
ing with his little flock. Every-
thing went well, for David loved
the animals and watched them
carefully. Not long afterward
David was leading big flocks of
steers and cows and calves and
sheep and lambs and goats and
kids to pasture. He was a full-
fledged shepherd then and, to be
sure, as proud as proud could be.
He began to notice that the lit-
tle ones had a hard time getting
enough food. Some of them were
not strong enough to uproot the
grass and plants. So David would
go and tear out handsful of grass

It's the

and feed the lambs and the kids
right out of his hands. After a
few weeks they grew big and
strong .enough to feed themselves.
He was very proud of them then.
Then David lined up his flock
this way: the lambs and kids and
calves would go out first so that
they would have a chance to eat
the tops of the tender grass;
then came the older animals, the
cows and sheep and goats—these
could eat the tough leavings. So
all the Jive stock in David's care
got plenty to eat and he had the
fattest flock in all his father's
ranch.

ONE DAY a fierce lioness grab-
bed one of David's lambs. With
great courage he pursued the
wild beast, grabbed it by its tail,
swung it around, opened its
jaws releasing the terrified lamb,
and gave the lioness such a
whack on the back that it let out
a great roar and vanished into
the forest.
When God saw the great cour-
age and the deep devotion David
had shown for his flock, Hp said,
"David is the kindest-hearted
shepherd in all the land, and at
the same time, he is a strong-
hearted protector. That is the
kind of person I would like to
have lead My people. I am go-
ing to take him from his flock
of sheep and lambs and kids and
elect him shepherd of My flock
of men and women and chil-
dren."
David the shepherd became
king of Israel.—Adapted from
the Midrash.
