A sweet, silver tone of the jubilee trumpet would have been lost to the trembling, the despairing, the perishing. Oh most memorable incident  Oh most honored fountain  Well may the 'Israel of God' stand round the stony margin-as did the Hebrew nobles and princes of old with their rugged staves, at Beer, on the borders of Moab, by the brooks of Arnon-and say, in the words of that oldest pilgrim song, \"Spring up, O well: sing to it,\" for a nobler than Hebrew \"prince\" or \"noble\" has made you oracular-put a tongue into your depths-and made you speak of \"living water springing up into everlasting life.\" There is one special practical thought which this \"had to\" of the great wayside Traveler suggests: it is, the peerless value of a single soul in the sight of Christ. It is the truth of His own exquisite parable exhibited in impressive reality: the heavenly Shepherd, when, out of the hundred sheep He had missed one erring wanderer, going amid these mountains of Samaria to seek 'that which was lost.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Macduff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612037690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612037691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bottom of the Hill Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"John Macduff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321497153791,"sku":"9781612037691","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39d02a54-0cae-4e4a-8f96-fbc7b116974f.jpg?v=1696331205","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/noontide-at-sychar-a-new-john-macduff-9781612037691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
