Nahum 3:18. Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria

They who should have taken care of the people, the chief governors, neglected them; they who should have defended the people were out of the way when they were wanted: "Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria."

Nahum 3:18. Thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.

Let not the same be said of London. Are there any who can say, "No man careth for my soul"? Let them not be without a helper.

"Oh, come, let us go and find them!

In the paths of death they roam;

At the close of the day ‘twill be sweet to say, ‘I have brought some lost one home.’"

Brothers and sisters, rouse yourselves; be shepherds to the people of this modem Nineveh, and seek to gather the scattered flock of Christ.
