Rev. T. DeWltt Talmage on “The Ornithology of the Bible.” The Hand of God Visible in AH the Comings and Goings of the Feathered Tribes, who Praise Him Contlnoallj. The following discourse, in continuation of the series on ‘‘God Everywhere,” was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle from the text: Behold the fowls of tin sir.—Mithew vi, ad There is silence now in all onr January forests, except as the wind whistles through the bare branches. Our northern woods are deserted-coheert halls. The organ lofts in the temple of nature are hymnless. Trees which were full of carol and chirp and chant are now waiting for the coming back of rich plumes and warbling voices, solos, duets, quartettes, cantatas and Te Deums. Bnt the Bible is full of‘ birds at all seasons, and prophets and patriachs and apostles and evangelists and Christ Himself employ them for moral and religious purposes. text is an extract from the Sermon on the Mount, and perhaps it was at a moment when a flock of birds flew past that Christ waved His hand toward them, and said: “Behold'the fowls of the air.” And so, in this course of sermons on “God Everywhere,” I preach to you this third sermon concerning the “Ornithology of the Bible, or God Among the Birds. .Most of the other sciences -you may study or not as yon please. Use your own judgment, exercise your own taste. Bnt about this science of ornithology we have no option. The Divine command is positive when it says in my text: “Behold the fowls of the air!” That is, study their habits. Examine their colors. Notice their speed. See the hand of God in their construction. It is easy fot me to obey the command of the text, for I was brought up among this race of wings, and from boyhood heard their matins at sunrise and their Vespers at sunset. Their nests have been to me a fascination, and my satisfaction is that I never robbed one of

them,any more than I would steal a child from a cradle, for a bird is a child of the sky, and Us nest is the cradle. They y.rc almost human, for they have their loves and hates, affinities and antipathies, understand joy aud grief, have conjugal and maternal instinct, wage wars and entertain jealousies, have a language of their own and powers of association. Thank God for bittls and skies full of them. It is useless to expect to understand the Bible unless we study natural history. Five hundred and ninety-three times does the Bible allude to the facts of natural history, and I do not wonder that it makes so many allusions ornithological. The skies and the caverns of Palestine are friendly to the winged creatures, and so many fly and roost and nest and hatch in that region that inspired writers do not have far to go to get ornithological illustration of Divine-truth. There are over forty species pf5 birds recognized in the Scriptures. Oh. what a variety of wings in Palestine. The dove, the robin, the eagle, the cormorant or plunging bird, hurling itself from sky to wave, and with long beak clutching its prey; the thrush, which especially dislikes a crowd; the partridge, the hawk, bold and ruthless, hovering head to windward, while wsftching for prey; the swan, at home among the marshes and with feet so constructed it can walk ' on the leaves - of water plants; the raven, the lapwing, malodorous and in the Bible denounced as inedible, though it has extraordinary head-dress; the stork, the ossifrage, that always had a habit of dropping on a stone the turtle it had lifted, and so killing it for food, and on one occasion mistook the bald head; of ASsehylus, the Greek poet, for a white stone and dropped a turtle upon it, killing the famous Greek; the cuckoo, with crested head,and crimson throat and wings snow-tipped, but too lazy to build its own nest, and so having the habit of depositing its eggs in nests belonging he other birds, the blue jay, the grouse, the plover, the magpie, the kingfisher, tlje pelican, which is the caricature of all the feathered creation, the owl, the goldfinch, the bittern, the harrier, the bulbul, the osprey, the vulture, that king of scavengers, with neck covered with repulsive down instead of attractive feathers, the quarrelsome starling, the swallow, flying a mile a minute, and sometimes ten hours in succession, the heron, the quail, the peacock, the ostrich, the lark, the crow, the‘ kite, the hat, the blackbird and many others, with all colors, all sounds, all styles of flight, tall habits, all architecture" of nests, leaving nothing wanting in suggestiveness. T hey were at the creation placed all around on the rocks and in the trees and on the ground to serenade Adam’s arrival. They took their places on Friday as the first man was made on Saturday. Whatever else he had or "did not have he should have music. The first sound that struck the human ear was a bird’s voice. -— Yea, Christian geology (for you know there is n Christian geology as well as an inficel geology), Christian geology comes in and helps the Bible show what we owe to the bird creation. Before the human race came into the world the world was occupied by reptiles and by all kinds of destructive monsters, millions of creatures loathsome and hineous. God sent huge birds ;o clear the earth of these creatures before Adam and Eve were created. The remains of these, birds have been found imbedded in the rocks. The skeleton of one eagle has been fonni twenty feet in height and fifty feet from tip of wing to tip of wing. Many armies, of beaks and claws were necessary to clear the earth of creatures that would have destroyed the human race with one clip. I like to find this harmony of revelation and science, and fn li-j t o r? oirtnn cfm tori H10+ tlm flrwl

made the world mode the Bible. Moses, the greatest lawyer of all time and a great man for facts, had enough sentiment aim poetry and musical taste to welcome the illumined wings and the voices divinely drilled into the first chapter of Qenesis. How should Noah, the old ship carpenter^ six hundred years of age, find out when the world was fi t again for human residence after the universal freshet? A bird will tell and nothing else can. No man can come down from the mountain to invite Noah and his family out to terra firms, for tie mountains were submerged. As a bird first heralded the human race into the world, now a bird will help the hums.n race-back to the world that had shipped a sea that whelmed everything. Noah stands on Sunday morning at the window of the ark, in his hand a booing dove, so gentle, so innocent, so affectionate, and he said: “Now, my little dove, fly away over these waters, explore , and come back and tell ns whether it is safe to land.” After a long flight it returned* hungry and weary and wet, and by its looks and manners said to Noah and his family: “The world is not fit for you to disembark." Noah waited a week, and next Sunday morning he let the dove fly again for a .second exploration, and Sunday evening the it came hack with a leaf that had lign of jnst having been plncked i a living fruit tree, and the bird

reported the World would do tolerably well for a bird to live ta, JJut not jot sufficiently recovered fqir hitman residence. Noah waited another week, and nex t Sunday morning fie sent ont the dove on the third exploration, bnt It returned not, for it found the world ao attractive now it did not,.want to be caged again, and then the emigrants from the antediluvian world landed. It was a bird that told, them when to take. possession of the resuscitated planet. So the human race were saved by a bird’s wing; for attempting to land tod soon, they would have perished. Aye, here come a whole flock of doves—roek-doves, ring-doves, stockdoves, and they make Isaiah think of great revivals and great awakenings when souls fly for she! ter like a fleck of pigeons swooping to the openings of a coop, and he cries out; “Who are these that fly as doves to their windows?” David, with Saul after him, and flying from cavern to cavern, comjmres himself to a <lpsert partridge, a bird which especially haunts rocky places, and boys and hunters to this day take after it with sticks, for the partridge runs rather than flies David, chased, and clubbed, and harried of pursuers, says: “I am hunted as a partridge on the mountains.” Speaking of his forlorn condition, he says: “I am like a pelican of the wilderness.” Describing his loneliness, he says: “I am a swallow on a housetop” Hezekiah, in the emaciation of his sickness, compares himself to a crane, thin and wasted. Job had so muchk trouble he could not sleep nights, and'he describes his insomnia by saying: “I am a companion to owls.” Isaiah compares the desolations of banished Israel to an uhrl and bittern and cormorant among a city’s ruins. Jeremiah, describing the cruelty of parents toward children, compares them to the ostrich, who leaves its eggs in the sand uncared for, crying: “The daughter»of my people is become like the ostriches of the wilderness.” Among the provisions piled on Solomon’s bountiful table, the Bible speaks of “fatted fowl.” The Israelites in the r desert got - tired of manna and they had quails—quails for breakfast, quails for dinner, quails for supper, and they died of quails. The Bible refers to the migratory habits of the birds, and saj’s: “The stock knowetli her appointed time and the turtle and the crane and the swallow the time of their going, but my people know not the judgments of the Lord.” .Would the prophet illustrate the fate of fraud, he points to a failure .of incubation and says: “As a partridge sitteth on eggs and hatcheth them not, so he tRat getteth riches and not by right shall leave them , in the midst of his days, and at hi3 end shall be a fool.” The partridge, the most

careless ux an virus iu euoicc ui us place of nest, building it on the ground and often near a frequented road, or in a slight depression of ground, without refererfee'to safety, and soon a hoof or a scythe or a cart wheel ends all. So says the prophet, a man who gathers under him dishonest dollars will hatch out of them no peace, no satisfaction, no happiness,*no security. What vivid similitude! The quickest way to amass a fortune is by iniquity, but the trouble is about keeping it. Every hour of every day some such partridge is driven off the nest. Panics are only a flutter of partidges. It is too tedious work to become rich in the old-fashioned way, and if a- man can by one falsehood make as much as by ten years of hard labor, why not tglMt? and if one counterfeit cheek will bring the dollars as easily a genuine issue, why not make it? One year’s fraud will be equal to half a lifetime’s sweat. Why not live solely by one’s wits? A fortune thus built will be firm and everlasting. Will it? Ila! build your house on a volcano’s crater: go to sleep on the bosom of an avalanche. The volcano will blaze and the avalanche will thunder. There are estates which have been coming together from age to age. Many years ago that estate started in a' husband’s industry and a wife’s eebnomy. It' grew from generation to generation by good habits and high-minded enterprise. Old-fashioned industry was the mine from which that gold wjs dug, and God will keep the deedsof such an estate in His buekler. Foreclose your mortgage, spring your snap judgments, plot with acutest intrigue against a family property like that, and you can not do it a permanent damage. Better than warrantee deed, and better than fire insurance ik the defense which God’s own hand will give it. But here is a man,, to-day as poor as Job, after he was robbed by Satan of everything but his boils; yet, suddenly, to-morrow he is a rich man. There is no accounting for his sudden affluence. No one pretends to account for hisi princely wardrobe, or the chased silver, or the full-curbed steeds that rear and neigh like Bucephalus in the grasp of his coachman. Did he come to a sudden inheritance? No. Did he make a fortune on purchase and sale?. No. Everybody asks where did that partridge hatch?, .The devil suddenly threw him up and tho dev.il will suddenly let him come down. That hidden scheme God saw from the first con-' ception of the plot. That partridge, swift disaster will shoot it down, and the higher it flies the harder it falls. The prophet saw, as you and I have often seen, the awful iuistake of partridges. But from the top of a Bible fir tree I heat the shrill cry of the stork. Job, Ezekiel, Jeremiah speak of it. David cries out: “As for the stork, the fir tree is her house.” This large white Bible bird is supposed without alighting sometimes to wing its way from the region of the Rhine to Africa. As winter comes all the storks fly to warmer climes, and the last one of their number that arrives at the spot to which they migrate is killed by them. What havoc it would make in our species if those men were killed who are always behind. In oriental cities the stork is domesticated and walks about on the

street, and will follow its keeper. In the city of Ephesus I saw a long row of pillars, on the top of each pillar a storkfs nest. But the word “stork” ordinarily means mercy and affection, from the fact that this bird was distinguished for its great love to its parents. It never forsakes them, and even after they become feeble protects and provides for them. In migrating the old storks lean their necks on the young storks, and when the old ones give out the yonng ones, carry them on their back. God forbid that a dumb stork should have more heart than we. . Blessed is that table at which an old father and mother sit Blessed that altar at which an old father and mother kneel What it is to have a mother they know best who have lost her. God only knows the agony she suffered for us, the times she wept over our cradle and the anxious sighs her bosom heaved as we lay upon it, the sick nights when she watched us long, after every one was tired out but God and herself. Her life blood beats on our heart and her image lives in our faee. That man is graceless as a cannibal who ill-treats his parents, andhe who begrudges themdaily bread and clothes them but shabbily, may God have patience with him; I can not,* I heard a man quCfe say: “I

flies tt is speckled. The prophet describing the church cries out: ‘‘Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her.” So it was then, so it is now. Holiness picked at. Consecration picked at Benevolence picked at. Usefulness picked at. A speckled bird is a peculiar bird, and that arouses the antipathy of all .the beaks of the forest. The Church of Cod is a peculiar institution, and that is enough to evoke attack of the world, for it is a speckled hind to be pieked at. The inconsistencies of Christians are a banquet on which multitudes get fat They ascribe everything you do to wrong motives. Pat a dollar in the poor box and they will say that he dropped it there only that he might hear it ring. Invite them to Christ and they will call you a fanatic. Let there be contention among Christians, and they will say: “Hurrah! the church is in decadence.” Christ intended that His church should always remain a,, Speckled bird. Let birds of another7 feather pick at her, but they can not neb her of a single plume.' Like the albatross, she can sleep on the bosom of a-temptest. She has, gone through the fires of Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace and not got burned, through the waters of the Red sea and not been drowned, through the shipwreck on the, breakers of Melita and not been foundered. Let all earth and hell try to bunt down this speckled bird, but far above human scorn and infernal assault, it shall sing over every mountain top and fly over every nation, and her triumphant song shall be, “The Church of God! The pillar and ground of the truth. The gates of hell shall not prevail against her.” Bnt we can not stop here. Prom a tall cliff hanging over the sea I hear the eagle calling unto the tempest and lifting its wing to smite the whirlwind. Moses, Jer.emiab, Ilosea and Habakkuk at times, in their writings, take their pen from the eagle’s wing. It is a bird with fierceness in its eye, its feet armed with claws of iron, and its head with a dreaded beak. Two or three of them can fill the heavens with clangor. But generally this monster of the air is alone and unaccompanied, for the reason that its habits are so predaceous it requires five or ten miles of aerial or earthly dominion all for itself. The black-brown of its back, and the white oif its lower feathers, and the fire of its eye, and the long flap of its wing take One glimpse of it as it swings down into the valley to pick up a rabbit or a Child and then swings back to its throne on the rock, something never to he forgotten. Scattered about its eyrie of altitudinous solitude are the bones of its conquests. But while the beak and the claws of the eagle are the terror of all the travelers of the air, the mother eagle is most kind and gentle to her young. God compares His treatment of His people to the eagle's care of the eaglets. Deuteronomy xxxii, 11: “As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreading abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings, so the Lord alone did lead.” The old eagle first shoves one ont of the nesfein order to make it fly, and then takes it on her back and flies with it, and shakes it off in the air, and if it

seems nice railing, quiCKiy n:es unaer u. and takes it on her wing’ again. So God does with us. Disaster, failure in business, disappointment, bereavement, is only God’s way of shaking us out of our comfortable nest in order that we may learn hoav to fly. You who are' complaining that you have no faith or courage or Christian zeal, have had it too easy. _ You never, will learn to fly in that comfortable nest. Like an eagle, Christ has carried us on His back. At times we have been shaken off. and when we were about to fall, He came under us again and brought us ont of the gloomy valley to the sunny mountain. Never an eagle brooded with such love and care over her young as God's wings have been over us. - Across what oceans of trouble we have gone "in safety upon the Almighty’s wings. From what mountains of sin we have been earned and at times- have, been borne far up above the gunshot of the world and the arro-v of the devil. When our time on earth is closed on these great wings qf God we shall speed with^iinfinite quickness from earth’s mountains to Heaven’s hills, and as from the eagle’s circuit under the sun men on the ground seem small and insignificant as lizards on a rock, so all earthly things shall dwindle into a speck, and the raging river of death so far beneath will seem as smooth and glassy as a Swiss lake. It was thought in ancient times that an eagle could not only monlt his feathers in old age, but that after arriving to great age, it would' renew its strength and become entirely young again. To this Isaiah alludes when he says: “They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings of eagles.” Even So the Chris tian in old age will renew his spiritual strength. lie shall be young in ardor and enthusiasm for Christ, and ’ as the body fails the soul will grow in elasticity, till at death it will spring up like a gladdened child into the bosom of God. Yea.in this ornithological study, I see that .Tob says: “His days fly as an eagle that hasteth toits prey.” The speed of a hungry eagle when it saw its prey a score of miles distant was unimaginable. It went like a thunderbolt for speed and power. So fly our days.-’ Sixty minutes, each worth a heaven, since we assembled in this place, have shot like lightning into eternity. The’ old earth is rent and cracked under the swift rush of days add months and years and ages, “Swift as an eagle that hasteth

to its prey. tienoia me iowis oi me air. Have you considered that they have as you and I have not the power to change their eyes so that one’minute they may be telescopic and the next, microscopic. Now seeing something a mile away, and by telescopic eyesight, and then dropping to its food on the ground, able to see it clos3 by, and with microscopic eyesight. But what a senseless passage of Scripture that is. Tnjtil you know the fact, which says: “The sparrow hath found a house and the swallow a rest for herself, where shite—mSy-fay her young, even thine altars, O, Lord of hosts, my King and my God.” What has the swallow to do with the altars of the temple at Jerusalem? Ahl you know that Swallows are all the world over very tame, and in summer time they used to fly into the windows and doors of the temple at Jersualem, and bnild a nest on the altar where the priests were offering sacrifices These swallows brought leaves and sticks and fashioned nests on the altars of tho temple, and hatched the young sparrows in those nests, and David had seen the young birds picking their way out of the shell while the old swallows watched, and no one in the temple was cruel enough to disturb either the old swallows or the young swallows, and David burst out in rhapsody, saying: “The swallow hath found a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even Thine altars, O, Lord of hosts, my King and my God!” _

ttlStORY REPEATING ITSELF. Tfee Corse of Corn La# ProteeUdi In Great Britain, and of Hill Odaerd Protection in tbe V tlted Stated-The Cobdea llot and tbe Reform Clab. About 1610, when Great Britain wad groaning under protection, John Bright, Bichard Cobden and many other good and philanthropic men saw the gross injustice of the “corn laws," that were taxing the bread of the poor, injuring most industries by increasing the cost of raw materials, and pauperizing and degrading the whole nation, made tows that they would agitate until the obnoxious laws were abolished. They joined themselves together and formed the Cobden clnb. This clnb worked unselfishly and systematically in-the Interests of the masses. Large sums of money Were spent A few years of such work and the corn laws were abolished forever and commerce was practically free. The era of prosperity that then began has made the little islands that constitute Great Britain not only the master of the high seas and the distributing point for the world's supplies, bnt also the most wealthy spot on the globe. Wages, which were then extremely low there, have advanced more than in any country, so that they are to-day much higher than in any other European country or other cld country of the world, and are higher only in the twb great countries of undeveloped opportunities—United States and Australia. Bnt,of cottse,lhe great wrong was not put down without hurting the feelings of the English landlords and others who were profiting *by the nefarious system of “protection.” These men hated the Cobden club like the devil is said to hate holy water. They hurled vile epithets at it and called the “free traders” the enemies of the country. Bright, Cobden, O’Connqgjand the other leaders expected to he villified, hut they did not count on being called traitors and hounded by the aristocracy. It only made them fight the more desperately and spend more money to rid the people and their country of the heavy load of taxation. The history of Great Britain is being repeated a half century later in the United States Protection can he effective only on goods that are imported largely. It is the manufacturers, therefore, and not the bread producers that can and have profited by protection in this country. And so well have the manufacturers improved their opportunities that they now have higher duties on their goods than the British landlords ever had on their grains. If we are not so much cursed as were the English, it is because manufactured goods are not used to the same extent as breadstuffs and are less essential to life; also because we were never so dependent on foreign countries for supplies as England has always been for bread. It is not then the fault of our monopolistic manufacturers that, they have reduced this nation in their thirty years of rule or misrule to the same extent that the com monopolists reduced Great Britain in their thirty years of rale. Our manufacturers have done their worst hut circumstance have been

against them. The corn-law men wanted the exclusive feeding of the manufacturers in Great Britian—“home markets,” they called it; our manufacturers want, and practically have, the exclusive right to supply us with manufactures—“home market”—they call it British monopolists posed as the guardians of the public weal and had laws made in their own interests. American monopolists pose as the only real patriots, and have juggled our laws to make what they call the “American system”—as if an American system of robbery is preferable to a foreign one. Protectionists in England were a privileged class of landlords 1 who for years made the masses believe that “protection” not only gave them the especial privilege of eating homemade bread, but that it was cheaper than it would be if the tax were removed and they were dependent upon foreign supplies. Protectionists in America are a privileged class of manufacturers and mine owners, who have made the people believe that goods would be cheaper under free.trade than under “protection” and that with free trade work would be scarcer and wages lower. British landjdrds got in increased rents the benefits of protection there. Agricultural rent has declined 50 per cent, since 1850, but agricultural with other kinds of wages have doubled since then. American manufacturers and mine owners get in increased prices and rents the benefits of protection here. Work will be more plentiful and wages higher when restrictions to trade are removed and our monopolists lose their grip. In both cases the masses were deluded and taxed for the benefit of a special class. The Reform club, of New York, is composed for the most part of unselfish men who wish to do for this country what the Cobden club did for Great Britain—abolish the curse of “protection” and give the people more work, better pay and cheaper goods. About 8,000 men, one-half in New York city, have for several years been contributing to support the work of this club. The only hope of the vast majority of the members is to abolish class legislation, to give all equal opportuhities, and to increase the earnings and the happiness of the masses. The firstgood effects of the work of this qlub were seen in the elections of 1893 and 1892. To say that protectionists hate this “mugwump” and “free trade” club is to put it mildly. The Crisp incident, at the recent dinner of the club, has given republicans and protectionists— for the two are not yet quite synonymous—the first good opportunity to vent their spleen on this club. Bitter and sneering remarks are being hurled at these “American Cobdenites,” “dispensers of British gold,” “ludicrous self-important statesmen,” these “conceited mugwumps” and “tariff reformers.” Really the officers of the club may congratulate themselves upon the

enemies rney nave maae. it, is ine Dest possible evidence of the effectiveness oi their work. It is scarcely necessary to say that such opposition will stimulate the club to continue its work until out robber barons can no longer ply their trade here, and until the country is again free. Byron W. Hoyt. The Foreigner Doa’t Fay It Now. It is now almost a work of supererogation totdiscuss Statesman McKinley’s proposition that the foreigner pays the tariff tax when goods are imported and the tax collected. The absurd claim has been practically abandoned, but it is well that it should not be forgotten, since it illustrates the general insincerity of ' similar pretensions advanced in support of McKinleyism. A correspondent of the New York World furnisfce an apt illustration of how the principle would work if there really was such a thing as trying to apply it. He supposes that three buyers arrive in Lyons to purchase dress-goods. One is from London, with no dnty to pay when be gets home. Another is from Montreal, with a dnty of 30 per cent, to take into bis calculations, and a third is from New York, with a duty of 60 per cent awaiting his return. ' Now, if the foreign manufacturer is to pay the tax, there must be a difference in the prices to these buyera Tne Englishman could afford to pay a dollar a yard, while the Canadian and American must have a reduction equal to the duties in their respective countries Is it likely that they would find such a difference in prices for the same goods in Lyons, or anv other part <rf the wprld? -Manchester
