Birds of Every Feather.

A goodly cedar ; and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing.—Esekiel xvii, 23.

Thecedaroflaebanonisa royal tree. It stands six thousand feet above the Lvel of the sea. A missionary counted the con- circlss, and found one tree thirty- five hsndrel years old—luag rooted, llesd bitches, all the year in _luxuriant faliqe. The same branches that bent in hurricane that David saw sweeping over Iashanon, rock today over the head of the American traveller. This monarch of the forest, with its leafy fingers, plucks the honors of a thousand years, and sprinkles them upon its own uplifted brow, as though some great halielujah of heaven had been planted upon Lebanon, and it were rising up with all its long-armed strength to take hold of the hills whence itcams. Oh! whatafineplaee forbirds to nest in. In hot day they come thither —the eagle, the dove, the swallow, the sparrow, and the raven. There is to many of us a c implete fascination in the structure and habits of birds. '

The birds of the Bible are not dead and stuffed, like those of the museum, but living birds, with fluttering wings and plumage “Behold the flowers of the air," says Christ. “Though thoulexalt thyself as the eagle, and though-thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down," exclaimed Obadiah. “Gaveat thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks?"

THE GUARDIAN,

“ Oh ! " she said, “ happy ! happy ! Mr. Talmagia, tell all the young folks that religion will make them happy.’

As I came out of the room, louder than all the subs and wailings of grief I heard the clear, sweet, glad voice of the dying girl : “Good night ; we shall meet again on the other side of the river.” The next Sabbath we buried her.

Again: I remark that the old may come.

You say, “ Suppose a man has to go on crutches; suppose he is blind, suppose he is deaf; suppose that nine-tenths of his life has been wasted.” Then I answer.

Come with crutches; come, old men, blind and deaf, come to Jesus. If you would sweep your hand around before your blind eyes,the first think you would touch would be the cross. It is hard for an aged man or woman to have grown old with relig- ion. Th--ir taste is gone. The peach and the grape have lost their fltvor. They say that somehow fruit does not taste as it used to. Their hearing gets defective, and they miss a great deal that is said in their presence. Their friends have all gone and everybody seems so strange. The world seems to go away from them, and they are left alone. They begin to feel in the way when you come into the room where they are: and they move their chair nervously, and say “I hope I am not in the way.” Alas! that father and mother should ever be in the way. When you were sick, and they sat up all night rocking you. singing to you, ad- ministering to you, did they think that you were in the way? Are you tired of the old people? Do you snap them up quick and Sharp '2 You will be cursed to the bone for your ingratitutle and unkind- nessl

Again: The very bad, the outrageously sinful, may come. Men talk of the grace of God, as though it WI r.- so many yards long and so many yards deep. People point to the dying thief as an encourage- ment to the sinner. ‘How much better it would be to point to our own case and say: “If God saved us, He can save any- body.” There may be those here who never had one earntst word said to them about their souls. Cmsidcr me as putting my hand on your shoulder and looking in your eye. God has been good to you. You ask: “How do you know that? He has been very hard on me.” Where did you come from ? “lionie.” Then you have a home. Have you ever thanked God for your home? Have you children? “Yes.” Have you ever thanked God for your children? Who keeps them safe? Were you ever sick ‘I “Yes.” Who made you well? Have you been fed every day? Who feeds you? Put yourihand on your pulse. Who makes it throb? Listen to the respiration of your lungs. Whe helps you tobreathe! Have you a Bible in the house. spreading before you the future life? Who gave you that Bible?

God's singing birds now. ' No gun of desirable tracts of country productive

huntsman shall shoot them down. They gather on the trees of life, and fold their

wings on the branches, and far away from frosts, and winds, and night, they sing until the hills are flooded with joy, and the skies drop music, and the archrs of pearl send back‘ the echoes—“All fowl of every wing.”

Esekiel in my text intimates that Christ is the cedar, and the people from all quarters are the birds that lodge among thQ branches. “ It shall be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing.” As in Ezekiel’s time, so now—Christ is a goodly cedar, and to him are flying all kinds of people —yolIng and old, rich and poor; men high-soaring as the eagle, those fierce as the raven, and those gentle as the dove. ‘ ‘ All fowl of every wing.”

‘First, the young may come. Of the eighteen hundred and ninety-two years that. have passed since Christ came, about sixteen hundred havebeen wasted by the good in misdirected eforts. We spend all our strength in trying to bend old trees, when a little pressure would have been suflicient for the sapling. We let men go down to the ‘very bottom of. sin before we try to lift them up.

I went through the heaviest snow:

I i take my stand under this goodly cedar, and see the flocks flying thither. They are torn with the shot of temptation. and wound- ded, and sick and scared. Some fought with iron beak, some once feasted on car- cases, some were fierce of eye and cruel of talon, but they came, flock after flock —“all fowl of every wing.”
