melody. From the time thaft Karitan? That
origin, about the fiber, about the meaning, about the mirth, about the patfeos. about the inspiration, about the religion in the song of birds, the most of us are either ignorant or indifferent. . A caveat I this morning fij.e in the highucourt of heaven agaitist that almost universal irre-ligion.--i? I'irsfc t rpmarlc. that which will surprise many, tiat the song of birds is a regulated and systematic song, T capable of being written out in-' note and in staff and in bar and clef as much as anything that Wagner or Sphumannor Handql ever put oh papr. As wp pass the grove where the flocks are holding matin or vesper servi ce we are apt to vhink that the sounds; are extemporized, t he rising or falling tone is a mere accident, it is flung up and down by haphazard, the bird did not know what it was doing, h did not care whether it was -a long meter psalm or a madrigal. What a mistake. The musician nevei;put on the music rack before hnv Mepdelssohn's "Elijah" or Beethoven's ""Concerto" in G or Spohr's B flat symphony with more definite idea as to what he yas doiog than every bu?d thai; can siig at all confines himself to accurate and predetermined itenderi)bg. The oratorios, the ohants,v the carols, the overtures, the interludes, tlje ballads) , the can.ticles- that this morriihg were heard oV will this eening'be heard in the forest have rolled down through the ages without a variation.

the first bird s throat was fashioned on the banks of the Gihon and Hiddekel uptil to-da oi the . Hudson or Rhine, the winged' ' creature has learned nothing from the human race in the wav o carol or anthem. The feathere$ songster- learned all their; muaic direct frpm God Ji gave them the art in- a nest of straw or moss or sticks and" taught them how to lift that song into the higher heavens and sprinkle the earth with its dulcet enchantments. God fashioned, God tuned, God launched, God lifted music! And there is a kind of music that the Lord only can fVnpart to you, my hearer. Thero have been depraved, reprobate and blasphemous souls which could sing tilt great audit oriums were in raptures. There have been soloists ail bassos and baritones and sopranos whose briit liancy in concert hails has not been more famous than their debaucheries. But there is a kind of song which, like the song of birds,, is divinely fashioaed. Songs of pardon. Songs of divine comfort. Songs of worship. "Songs in the night like those which David and Job mentioned. Songs full of faith and tenderness and prayer like those which the Christian mother sings over the sick cradle. Songs of a broken heart being healed. Songs of the dying flashed upon by opening portals of amethyst. ;' . ; Further, I remark in regard to the song of birds that it is trustful and without any fear of what may yet come. Will you tell me how it is possiblfe for cliat wren,, that sparrow,, that chickadee, to sing so sweetly when they may any time be pounced on by a hawk and torn wing from wing? There are ruel beaks in
thicket and in sky ready to slay the
song birds. Herods on the wing. Modocs of the sky. Assassins armed with iron claw. Murderers of song
floating up and down the heavens. How can the birds eing amid such perils? Beside that, how is a bird sure to get its food? Millions of birds have been starved. Yet it sings in the dawn without any certainty of breakfast or dinner or supper. Would it not be better to gather its food for the day before vocalizing? Besides that, tb$ hunters are abroad. Bang! goes a gun in one direction. Bang! goes a gun in another direction. The song will attract the shot and add to the peril. Besides that, yonder is a thundercloud, and) there may be hurricane and. hail 'to : be let loose, and what then will become qf you, the poor warbler? Besides that, winter will, come, .and it may toe smitten down before it gets to the tropics. Have you never Seen the snow strewn with the birds belated in their migration? For every bird a thousand perils and disasters hovering and sweeping round aqd round, Yet there it sings, and it is a trustful song. The bird that has it the hardest sings the sweetest. The lark from the shape
of her claws may not perch on a tree. In the grass her nest is exposed to every hopf that passes. One of the poorest shelters of all the earth is the lark's nest. If she sings at all, you will, .expect 'h' to render the saddest of threnodies:' No, c she sings exultingly an hour without a pause and mounting 3,000 feet without losing a note. Would God we all might learn the lesson. What
ever perils, whatever perils,, what
ever bereavements, whatever' trials aVy yefcto com,:SingH-tsing 'with all your eart and sina;. with ail tyour lungs. If you wait until all the hawks of trouble have folded their winjjps and all j the , hunters of hate have unloaded their guns and all the!
hurricanes of disaster have spent
their fu,ry, you will nevei: sing at ad. Further in the sky galleries there are songs adapted to ail moodsi The meadow-lark.. is mournful, and the. goldfinch joyous, and the grosbeak prolonged of note. ' But the lioretto of nature is voluminous. Are you sad, you qam hear from the bowers the echo.-of your grief. Ar6 you glad, you;can hear an echo of your :happiiie&s.. Arc yoii thoughtful, you can har that which will plunge you into' deeper . profound. Are you ' iyosr.yy you may catch a restful air. So the songs of birds are administrativ.s :iA all qicumst&nQesf AncJ wo would dp ell to have a hymnblogy"fof all" changes of condition: You fn& sing ;our woes into peace and 0ViS,e your, joys into greater, altitudes. Upon every condition bf body and soul let us try th power of song. The -multitudinous utter: ances of grove and orchard and garden dhti forest suggest most delightifuj pisf?ibUities, , Further,: I notice that the song of birds is a family song. Even those of the feathered throng which have' no song at all make, what utterances they do in sound9of their own family, of biirds. The-bwVP1- theowl, the clatter qf the magpie, the crow of the chunticleer, the drumming of the grous6; the laugh of the loon1 in the Adirondack's, th oaokh? of., the hen, the scream of the eagle, the croak of the raven, are sounds belonging to eaqh particular family, but when you coihe tp those which have real songs, how sug6stive that it "is always bi f amity song. All the . .skylwk, ail the .nisrhtipgale, a)l , the cuckoos, . prefef the song of tHtr own family aid n5Ver sing anything eise.' '

when you were tired out indeed too
tird to sleep, and you cried with leg ache, and you were rocked and sung ta sleep-r-you hear it now, the soft voice from sweet lips, she as tircdj perhaps more tired than you, but she rocked and you slumbered. Oh, fthrij9e -family asonk - Whtte this summer more than 'iraual out of doors. let us have what my text suggests an out of d'ors religion.- Whabusinete tiad David, with all the advantages .of a costly religious service and smoking incense or the altar, to be listening to the chain tresses amobg the tree branches? Ah, he wanted to make himself and all those who should come after him more alert and more worshipful amid the sweet sounds and beautikd sights of the natural world; Then is aw old church that neel$ to be rededicated. It is oldet than St. Paul's or St. Peter's or St. Mark's or St. Sophia's or St. Isaac's, ft is the cathedral of nature. That is the church in which the services of the milleniumwiii be held. The buildings jfashioned " out of - stone and brick ,ud mortar will not hold, the people-. Again, the Mount of Olives will be the pulpit. Again the Jordan will be the baptistry. Again the mountains will be the galleries. Again the skies will be the blue ceiling. Again the sunrise will be the front door end, the sunset the pack door of that temple. Again the clouds will be the upholstery and the morning mist the incense. Again the trees , will tie the organ loft where 4the fowls of heaven have their habitation which sing among the branches." Saint Francis d;Assisl preached a sermon tp birds and pronounced a benediction upon them, but all the birds preach to us, and their benediction is almost supernal. In the time of Edward IV no one was allowed to own a swan except
he were a king s son . or had considerable estate. Through one. or two hundred years of life that bird was said never to utter anything like music until its last moments came, and then lif ting its crested beauty it would pour forth a song of almost matchless thrill resounding through the- groves. , And so, although the struggles of life may be too much for U3, and we may find it hatrd to sing at all when the last hour comes to you and me,, may there be radiance from above and. a glory settling round that shall enable us to utter a song on the wings of which' wi shall mount to where the music neveir .ceasea ajid the raptures never die,( A.

At Lake Tchad, Monteil reached the goal which Mizon,-Crampel and two or three1 German explorers have endeavored to attain and and failed According to his instructions he approximately followed the boundary line of France's new sphere of iaterest in North Africa, between the Senegal river, Lake Tchad and th. Mediterranean, as outlined in the treaty between France and Grea
