PREFACE:
"Yet I know, friends of mine...you will want to ask me a question... Because I know some of you are in sickrooms, some are lonely and some companioned by grief, some are poor and some for the time are misunderstood, some are discouraged and some feel themselves little loved, some are young and cannot find their way, and some are old and wayworn, because I know all of you have need of the Shepherd's watch, I want to answer your question. Yes, we did indeed have such a guest, a man whose home was among the Syrian shepherds, a man who well knew the life which rightly interprets the Shepherd Psalm."
Artist Charles Copeland (1858 - 1945) was a 19th century book illustrator, a member of the Boston Society of Watercolor Painters and Boston Art Club.
