) REY. DR. TALMAGE, "THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN. DAY SERMON, Subject: “Migratory Birds" Tex@: “The stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my reople know not the Judgment of the Lord.”—Jeremiah vill, 7. When God would set fast a beautiful thought He plants it in a tree When He would put it afloat He fashions it into a fish, When He would have it glide the air He molds it into a bird, My text speaks of four birds of beautiful jonstinct—the stork, of such strong affection that iv ig allowed familiarly to come, in Holland and Germany, and build its nest over the door. way; the sweet dispositioned turtledove. mingling in color white and black and brown and ashen and chestnut; the crane with voice like the clang of a trumpet; the swallow, swift as a dart, shot out of the bow of heaven, falling, mounting, skimming, sailing-~four birds started by the prophet twenty-five centuries ago, yet flying on through the ages, with rousing truth under lossy wing and in the clutch of stout claw, , pri de it may have been this very season of the year—autumo--and the prophet out of doors, thinking of the impenitence of the [oR of his day, bears a great cry over- ead, Now you know it is no easy thing for one with ordinary delicacy of eyesight to look into the deep blue of the noonday heaven, but the prophet looks up, and there are flocks of storks and turtledoves and cranes and swallows drawn out in long lines for flight southward, As is their babit, the cranes had arranged themselves into two lines, making an angle—a wedge splitting the air with wild velocity—the old crane, with commanding call, bidding them onward, while the towns, and the cities, and the continents slid under them. The prophet, almost blinded from looking into the dazzling heavens, stoops down and begins to think how much superior the birds are in sagacity about their safety than about theirs, and he puts his hand upon the en and begins to + ‘The ste Be , knoweth her app the turtle, and the crane, and observe the wople know ord.” If you were in the clump of trees at the corn would see a conventi American congress the last journment, or as the Eug when some unfortunate more economy inqgu vention of birds 3 moving and passing reso r un the subject of migration; some row, some Some movin to Florid i, SX but all unar i at th gO soon, for they & Dare from the Lord, written on tl sheet « he frost and in the pictor: chang AVES, There is not a belted kingfisher, or a chaffioch, or =» fire crested wren, or a plover, or a red legged partridge but ex- pects to spen 1 the winter at the south, for the apartments have already been orders for them in South America or in Africa, and after thousands of miles of flight they will stop in the very tree where t spent last January, Farewell, bright plumage! Until spring weather, away! Fly on, great band of heavenly cians! Strew the continent with music, and whether from northern flelds, or Carolinian swamps, or Brazilian groves men see your wings or bear your voice, may they bsthink them- selves of the solerun words of the text, * ae stalk in the heaven knowth her appoiotal times, and the turtle and the cranes and the swallow observe the time of their coming] but my people know mot the judgment of the Lord!” 1 propose, so far as God may help me, this morning, carry out the idea the text, to show that the birds of the air have more sa- gocity than men, And I begin by partica- larizing and saying that they mingle musio with their works. The mos ious under taking of a bird's life anuual travel from the Hudson to the Amazon, from thas Thames to the Nile, Naturalists tell us that they arrive there thin and weary and mage ruffled, and yet they go singing a way: the ground ywer line music; the sky, the upper line of the music; themsbives, the notes scattered up and down Let ween. It is a good sign when you hear a work- man whistle, I$ is a better sign when you hear bim bum a roundelay. 1t is a still better sign when you hear him sing the words of Issac Watts or Charles Wesley, A violin chorded and strung, if somethin accidentally strike it, makes music, and suppose there is such a thing as having our hearts #0 sttuned by divine grace that even the rough collisions of life will make a heavenly vibration, 1 do not believe that the power of Christian song has yet been fully tried, I believe that if you could roil the “Oud Hundred” doxology through Wall street it would put an end to any fluaancial disturbance! 1 believe that the discords, and the sorrows, and the sins of the world are 10 be swept out by heaven born balle luiahs, Nome one asked Haydn, the celebrated mumcian, why he always composed such cheertul ‘music, “Why,” be said, “I can’t do otherwise, When | think of God my soul is so full of joy that the notes and dance from my pen.” 1 wish we might nil exuit melodiously before the Lord With God for our Father and Christ for our Saviour, and heaven for our home, and wk in the ntal times, an the swall time of th not vy. in the O-mor to-day, some {f Mexico, YY must orders white al of th the mus t i A \ ¢ the | { the angels for future companions, and eternity | for a lifetime, we should strike all the notes of joy. Going through the wilderness of this world let us remember that wa are on the way to the summery ciime of heaven, and from the migratory populations flying | always to | through this autumnal air jearn keep singing Children of the Heavenly King, As yo Journey sweetly sing; Sing your Saviour's worthy praies, Glorious In His works and ways 16 Are traveling home to God, Inthe way your fathers trod; They are happy now, and we Soon thelr happiness shall see, The church of Gol never will ba a trk umphant church until it beomes a singing church, I go further and remark that the birds of the air are wiser than ws in the ract that in their migration they fly very high. Dur. ing the summer, when they are in the fields, they often come within reach of the gun, but when they start for the annual flight southward they take their places midheaven and go straight as an arrow to the mark, The longest rifle that was ever brought to shoulder cinnot reach them, Would to God that we were as wise as the stork and crane in our flight heavenward! We fly so low that we are within easy range of the world, the flesh and the devil, We are brought down by temptations that ought not to come within a mile of reaching us, Oh, for some of the faith of George Mul. ler, of England, and Alfred Cookman, ones i the Shur knilitant, now of the church umphant poor is the typeof in the church of Gol now Af ws piri earieaturs the idea that there is an thing as a higher life. Moles never did be Neve in eagles, But, my brethren, because we have not reached these heights oursel ves, Then, I ask, is anything impossible for the Lord? 1 do not believe that God exhausted all His geaon in Paul and Latimer and Ed. ward Payson, 1 believe there are higher wints of Christian attainment to be reached n the future ages of the Christian world, You tell mo that Paul went up to the u stop of the Alps of Christian attainment. Then [ tell you that the stork and crane have found above the Alps plenty of room for [ree flying. We go out and we con- quer our temptations by the grace of God and le down. On the morrow those tempta- tions rally themselves and attack us, and by the grace of God we defeat them again; but staying all the time in the old encamp- ment we have the same old battles to. figat over, Why not whip out our temptations, and then forward march, making one raid through the ememy's country, stopping not until we break ranku after the last vie bory? Do, my brethren, let us have somes novelty of combat at any rate by changing, by go- ing on, by making advancement, trading off our stale prayers about sins we ought to have quit long ago, going on toward a high- or state of Christian character, and routing out sins that we have never thought of ye t.
