THE GOLDEN AGE FOR JULY 31, 1913
THE ROBIN THAT SANG IN THE
RAIN.
By H. M. NORTH.
It was on Saturday, the 15th of
March. You may recall how dark it
was and how it rained all day. A
robin sat on a lofty twig of an elm
tree near my home and sang in the
midst of the down-pour. Had you not
known better you would thought
that the sun shone 'brightly around
him. But the clouds were scudding in
from the south before a wet wind, the
rain drove hard, people slashed
through the muddy streets, still this
bird with feathers drenched sang for
very joy. The chickens hid them
selves from the weather beneath the
houses, and looked out, wondering
when the skies would clear so that
they might come forth. The English
sparrows quarreled and fought over
the crumbs in the mud, yet the robin
above them sang on as if he did not
know that it rained, as though he
never cared to eat. With his head
thrown far back he seemed to pour
out his very soul into the upper air.
He sang as one who could see into
some far off land where it is always
bright.
There is a sweetness and a pathos
in his note that other singers do not
show, and that the mocking-bird can
not fully catch. I wonder where he
got this. How can he sing that way
without having known the sorrows
which human beings know, without
having loved as they love? One would
think to hear him sing that he knew
the sadness of the ages from the be
ginning, and that he held within his
heart all the joy of the races of men.
As I listened I seemed to be carried
back through the years to the home
of my childhood. I heard the little
streams make music over the pebbles.
I could see the children wading
through the clover fields to climb the
orchard fence where the apple blos
soms were blowing, and he seemed to
be singing there. I closed my eyes
and listened, and there passed before
my inner vision a troop of the noblest
spirits of all times, men and women
of lofty thoughts and worthy ideals,
and somehow I wanted to catch step
with them and live my life as they
had lived theirs.
The bird did not sing for effect and
knew not even that I or any one else
listened to him. Had he been posing
before the multitude he would have
chosen a better place and a fairer sky.
It was his song, and all that he had
wherewith to bless the world, so he
poured forth its melody without stint.
There was at least one who caught
the music and kept it in his soul.
He sang on the dark day and in
the rain. Yet some will say that we
are all the creatures of environment,
that our thoughts and actions must
be shaped by the things around us.
This may be if men yield themselves
to it, but not otherwise. The robin’s
environment was bad, still he sang,
LINCOLN MEMORIAL MEDICAL
COLLEGE.
The Medical Department of the Lin
coln Memorial University offers an up
to-date four years course to students
of Medicine. ' The faculty is composed
of graduates of the best schools in the
country. Its laboratories are fully
equipped with modern appartus for
use of students, and as the Lincoln
Memorial Hospital is controlled ex
clusively by the University, all stu
dents have unlimited opportunities to
study disease at the bedside. Cata
logs on request to Registrar, Knox
ville. Tenn.
and his song was goood. I have
known men and women to sing in
the self-same way. They bade defi
ance to circumstances and environ
ment and did their part nobly. When
they had suffered grievous loss and
everything seemed against them, a
winsome smile played upon their lips.
In the midst of shattered fortunes
and with breaking hearts they spoke
to others of hope and good cheer. In
the rains of adversity, driven on by
winds of merciless oppression, they
sang of brighter days to come. He
who taught the robin to sing in the
rain taught also His human creatures
how to sing. These singers *in the
rain have been the heroes and hero
ines of the ages, of whom the world
is not worthy. They have ever gone
into the bad conditions of life and
made them good; into homes where
bitterness reigned and made them
sweet. They entered scenes of crime
and established righteousness there,
found things in disorder and brought
harmony and concord out of them.
Environment has had to yield on ev
ery side to them instead of their giv
ing up to it. Their faith and their
sunny dispositions have been more
than a match for all the unfavorable
setting wherein their lot had been
cast.
You have wondered what heaven
could be like, and in times of doubt
ing you have questioned with your
self whether or not God could make
us all happy. Surely you have not
heard the robin’s song. The God who
can put into the mouth of that little
creature a hymn of such infinite beau
ty and pathos both can and will pro
vide a heaven which will enrapture
the souls of men. —Raleigh Christian
Advocate.
NAPOLEON AND JESUS.
By T. Alex- Cairns.
In fiction masterpiece, Les Miser
ables, we read, “A bullet travels two
thousand feet a second; light travels
two hundred thousand miles a second;
that’s the difference between Napoleon
and Jesus.”
Yes, Victor Hugo, and it is also the
difference between the Czar and Tol
stoi; between the King and Wilber
force; between star chamber conser
vatism and open-forum, progress; be
tween the demagoguery of politics
and the democracy of statesmanship;
between the carnage of Gettysburg,
bloodiest battle of the war and the
peace of Auburn, loveliest village of
the plain.
One Mazzini, bearing aloft through
thirty years, his uncomprimising ban
ner, “For God and the People”; one
Kossuth, choosing rather the afflic
tions of Poland than the pleasures of
a Russion court; one Dan O’Connell,
standing in the British parliament and
sending his “voice careering like a
thunder-bolt against the breeze” for
the black man lying in bondage; one
John Brown, touched more by the
wail of a black babe than the terror
of a Virginia scaffold; one Garrison,
one Phillips, one L’Ouverture, one
great company that no man can num
ber, has stood up at the bar of the
world’s assize and testified in thunder
tones to the efficiency of Jesus, the
Saviour, as opposed to Napoleon, the
slayer.

President.
