What wonder¬ ful creatures of God the birds are. Home of them tlds morning, like the songs of heaven let loose, bursting through the gates of heaven.

Thank God for quail’s whistle, and lark’s carol, and the twitter of the wren, called by the ancients the king of birds, because when the fowls of heaven went into a contest as to who should fly the highest, and the eagle swung nearest the sun, a wren on back of the eagle, after the eagle was exhausted, sprang up much higher, and so was called by tho ancients the king of birds. Consider those of them that have golden crowns and crests, showing them to ho feathered Im¬ perials. And listen to the humming bird's serenade in the ear of tlie honeysuckle. Look at tlie belted kingfisher, striking n dart from sky to water. Listen to the voice of the owl, giving tho keynote to all croakers. And behold the condor amoriK the Andes, battling with tlie reindeer. I do not know whether nri aquarium or aviary is the bust altar from which to God. There is an incident in my toxt that baffles all the ornithological wonders of the world. The grain crop has been out off. Famine was in the land. In aeave by the tirook Cherlth sat a minister of God, Elijah, did he waiting for something to eat. Why not go to the neighbors? There Why wore did no neighbors. he It was a wilderness. There not pick some of the berries? were none. II there had been, they would have been dried up. Seated one morning at the mouth of the cava, the prophet sees a flock of birds approaching. Oh, If they were only partridges, or if tie only had an arrow with which to bring them down! But as they come nearer he finds that they are not comestible, but un¬ clean, and the eating of them would lie spiritual death. The strength of their beak, the length of tliolr wings, the blackness of their color, their loud, harsh, “cruck, oruckj” prove them to be ravens. They whir around about the pifiphet’s head, and then they come on fluttering wing and pause on tlie level of his lips, and one of tlie ravens firings bread,and another raven brings meat, and after they have dis¬ charged their tiny cargo they tyhoei past, and others come, until after awhile the prophet of lias enough, and these black ser¬ vants the wilderness table are gone. For nix months, and some say a whole year, morning and evening, a breakfast and a supper bell sounded as these ravens rang out ou tile uir flieir “eruok, eruek!” Guess rabbins where they go) the food from. Tho old say they got it from the kitchen of King Ahab. Others say that the ravens got their food from pious Obudinb, who was In the habit of feeding tho persecuted. Home say that tho ravens brought the food to their young in the trees, and that Elijah bad only to climb up and get it. Home say that the whole story is Improbable, for these were carnivorous birds, and tlie food they carried was the torn flesh of living beasts, and tbsr<.'J.Of.e ceremonially un¬ clean, or it was I’Hirlon gild would not have been fit for the prophet Home say they wore not ravens at all, hut (hut) lie word translated “ravens” In my text ought to have been translated “Arabs,” so tt would have read, “The Arabs brought bread and flesh in tlie morning, and bread and flesh the In ihu evening.” Anything but admit Bible tu bo true.

I can tell you who introduced raven to prophet and pro¬ phet to raven God. There Is one passage I will whisper in your ear, for 1 would not want to utter it aloud, lest some one should drop suall down under its power, “If any mau take away from the words of the pro¬ phecy of Jills book, God shall take away his part out of the boqk of life and out of the Holy City. ' While, then, we watch the yayensfeeding Elijah, down let the swift dove of (Jod's food, spirit sweep the sky with divine ami on outspread hungering wing pause at the lip of every soul for comfort. On the banks of wliat rivers have been the great buttles of the world? While you nre looking over the mop of the world to answer that, I will tell you that tho great conflict to-day Is on the Potomac, ou the Hudson, ou the Mississippi, thJJlhine.on on the Thames, on the Savannah, ou the Nile, on (he Ganges, on the Hoang-Ho. It is a battle tMt has been going on for 6000 years. The troops engaged in It are 1.6(H),- 000,000. and those »’ho have fallen by the way are vaster in number than those who march. It Is a bailie for bread. Sentimentalists sit in a eusLi|o W eJ chair In their pictured study, with their slippered feet on a damask ottoman, and say that this world Is a great scene of avarice and greed. It does not seem so to me. If It were not for the absolute necessities of the cases, nine-tenths of the stores, factories, shops, banking houses of the land would be closed to-morrow. Who Is that man delv- }B g Jn the Colorado hills, or toiling in a New England factory, or going through a rolled bills in the bank, or measuring a fabric on the counter? He is a champion circle sent forth jn !,«!,*» ,.,f some home that has to be cared for fe behalf of some church of God that has to be supported, in behalf of some asylum of mercy that has to be sustained. Who is that woman bending ever the sewing machine, or carrying the bundle, or swooping the room, or mending the garment, or swultering at the washtub? That is Deborah, one of the Lord's hero- lues, which battling against Amalekitish want, comes down with iron chariot to crush her and hers. Tlie great question with the vast majority of people to-day is not home rule, but whether there shall be any home to rule: not one of tariff, but whether there shall be anything to tax. The great questions with the vast majority of the people an 1 : “How shall I support my family ? How shall I meet my-notes? How *k#ll I pay my rent? How shall 1 give food, clothing and education to those who arc dependen* *»p 9 n me?” Oh. if God would help me to-day k. „ssist you in the solution of that problem, the happjest mau in this house would be your preacher. I have gout' out on a cold morning with expert sportsmen to hunt for pigeons. I have gone out on the meadows to hunt for quail. I have gone out on the marsh to hunt for readbir<llji but to . dsy i, mout for ravens Notice, in the first plane In the atory of my text, that these winged caterers came to “I Elijah direct from God. have commanded the ravens that they feed thee,’ we find God saying in an ad- joining other Passage They They did not come out of some cave. did not just hap¬ pen to alight there. God freighted them, God launched them and God told them by what cave to swoop. That Is the same God that Is going to supply you. He is your Father. You would have to make an elab¬ orate calculation before you could tell mo how many pounds of food and how many yards of clothing would he necessary for you and your family, hut God knows with¬ out any calculation. You have a plate at his table, and you are going to he waited on, unless you act like a naughty child and kick and scramble and pound saucily the plate and try to upset things. God has a vast family, and everything is methodized, and you are going to be served if you will only wait your turn. God lias already ordered all the suits of clothes you will ever need, down to the last suit in which you will tie laid out. God lias already ordered all the food you will overeat, down to the last crumb that will he put iri your mouth in the dying sacrament. It may not he just the kind of food or apparel we would prefer.

These ravens of the text did not bring pomegranates from the glittering platter of King Ahali. They brought bread and milk. God had all the heavens and the earth before Him and under Him, and yet He sends tills plain food, because It was best for Elijah to have it. Oh, be strong, my hearer, in the fact that the same God is go¬ ing to supply iiis you. It is never “hard tirm-s” with Him. ships never break on the rocks, ills banks never fail. He lias the supply sending for you, and He lias the means for it. lie has not only the cargo, but the ship. If it were necessary, He would swing out from the heavens a flock of ravens reaching from His gate to yours un¬ til the food would be Hung down the sky from beak to beak and from talon to talon. Notice again in this story of the text that the ravens did not allow Elijah to hoard up a surplus. They did not bring enough on Monday to last all the week. They did not bring enough one morning to last until the next morning. They came twice a day and brought just enough for one time, You known as well as I that the great fret of the world is that we want a surplus, w» want the ravens to bring enough for fifty years. You have more confidence in the Wash¬ ington banks or Bank of England than you have “All in tho ICoyal Bank of Heaven. You Hay: that is very poetic, but you may have the blank ravens. Give me the gold eagles. Wo had hotter be oontont with just enough. If In the morning your fam¬ ily eat up all the food there is la tho house, do not sit down and cry and say, ‘‘I don't know where the next meal is to come from.” About 5, or ti, or 7 o’clock in the morning just look up, and you will see two black spots on the sky, and you will hear the flap- ping of wing, and instead of Edgar A. Too’s insane raven alight on the chamber door, “only this and nothing more,” you will find Elijah’s two ravens, or two ravens of tlio Lord, the one bringing bread and the other bringing meat—plumed butcher and baker. Qq< Koi'hejle 1 is infinite in resource. AVheu tho city of tants dying was besieged of the and the the jnliabi- washed were famine, tides up on the beach as never before, and as never since, enough shellfish to feed the whole city. God is good. There is no mistake about that. History tells us that in 1555 in England there was a groat drought. tlio Tho crops failed, but in Essex, ou rocks, in a place where they had neither sown nor cultured, a great crop of peas grew until they filled 100 measures, iui(| there were blossoming vines enough, promising as much more. family But why go so f'tr? I can give you a incident. Home generations back there was a great drought in Connecticut, Now England. The water disappeared from the hills, and the farmers living outlie hills drove tlioir cattle down toward the valleys and had them supplied at the wells and fountains of the neighbors. But these after awhile Mr, began Birdseye, to fail, of and the I neighbors shali said to whom speak: “You must not send your hooks and herds down here any more. Our wells are giving out.” Mr. Birdseye, the old Christian man, gathered his family at the altar, and with household—for ills family he gathered bondage the slaves of tlie was then in vogue in Connecticut—and on their knees before God they cried for water, and the family story is that there was weeping and great sobbing at that altar that the family that might not perish for lack of water, and the herds and flocks might not perish. Birdseye, The family the old rose from took the his altar. staff Mj\ man, and Walked out over the hills, ami in a place where ho hail aeeu scores of times, without noticing ground anything particular, dark, and he ho took saw the his was very lip staff ami turned the ground, the water started, and ho beckoned to ills servants, and they came and brought pails and buckets until all the family and all tho flocks and the herds were cared for. and then they made troughs reaching from that place down to the house and barn, and the water flowed, and it is a living fountain to-day. Now I call that old grandfather Elijah, and ( effd that brook that began to roll then and f« rolling still the brook Ckerith, and the lesson to mo and to all who hear it Is, when you are In great stress of eireum- stances, pray and dig. dig and pray, and pray and dig.

Tho mercy that liovcred over your Tho mercy that will hover over your grave. The more y that will cover all between. Again, this story of the text impresses me that relief came to this prophet with the most unexpected and with seemingly had been im- possible redbreast, conveyance. musical If it meadow lark, a robin or a or a meek turtledove, or a sublime alba- tress that had brought the food to Elijah, it would not have been so surprising. But no. It was a bird so fierce and inausptcato that we have fashioned one of our most forceful and repulsive words out of it— ravenous. 1 hat bird has a passion for picking out the eyes of men and of am- mals. It loves to maul the sick ana the dying. It swallows with vulturous guzzle everything it can put its beak on, and yet all the food blajah gets for six months or a year is from ravens. Ho your supply is from an unexpected source. You think some great-hearted, generous man will come along and give you his name on the back of your note, or he will go se- curity for you in some great enterprise. No, he will not. God will open the heart of some Shyloek toward you. Your relief will come from the most which unexpected ominous quarter, The be providence than seemed which will to you more that seemed auspicious. It will not be a ehaftlneh with breast and wing dashed with white and brown and chestnut.

The providence brought you ruin. That which seemed to lie harsh and fierce and disson¬ ant was your greatest mercy. It was .a raven. There was a child born in your house, All your friends congratulated you. The other children of the family stood amazed, look¬ ing at the new-comer and asked a great many questions, genealogical and chrono¬ logical, You said and you said truthfully that a white angel flew through the room and left the little one there. That little one stood with its two feet in the very sanc¬ tuary of your affection, and w*ith its two hands it took hold of the altar of your soul. JJut one day there came one of the three scourges of children—scarlet fever, or croup, or diphtheria—and all that bright scene vanished. The chattering, the strange questions, the pulling at the dresses as you cross ed the iloor—all ceased. As the great friend of children stooped down and leaned toward that cradle, and took the little one in His arms and walked away with It into tho bower of eternal sum¬ mer, your eyo began to follow Him, and you followed the treasure He carried, and you have been following them ever since, and instead of thinking of heaven only once a week, as formerly, you are thinking of it all the time, and you are more pure and tender hearted than you used to be, and vou are patiently waiting for the daybreak. It is not self righteousness in you to ac¬ knowledge that you are a better man than you used to be—you are a better woman than you used to be. What was It that brought you the sanctifying blessing? Oh, it was tlie dark shadow on the nursery, it was the dark shadow on the soft grave, it was tlie dark shadow on your broken heart, it was the brooding of a great black trouble, it was a raven—it, was a raven! Dear Lord, teach this people that white providences do not always mean advancement and that black providences do not always mean Children of God, get up out of your de¬ spondency. The Lord never had so many ravens as he has to-day, Fling your fret and worry to the winds. Sometimes under tho vexations of life you feel like my little girl of four years, who said under some childish vexation, “Oh, I wish I could go to heaven and see God and pick flowers!” He will let you go when the right time comes to pick flowers, Until then, whatever you want pray far. I suppose Elijah prayed pretty much all tho time. Tremendous work behind him, tremendous work before him, God has spared no ravens for idlers or for tho people boldest who are prayerless. possible, and I put I it in sliapa am willing to risk my eternity on it. Ask God in the. right way for what you want and you shall have it if it is best for you. Mrs. .lane Pithey, of Chicago, a well- known Chi'istian woman, was left by her husband a widow with one half dollar and a cottage. She was palsied and had a mother ninety years of ago to support: The widowed soul every day asked God for all that was needed in the household, and the servant even was astonished at the precision with which God answered the prayers of that woman. Item by item, item by item. One day, rising from the family altar, the servant said, “You have not asketj ?Q r coal, and the coal is out.” Than they stood and prayed for the coal. One hour after that the servant threw open the door and said: “The ooal has come.” A generous mau, whose name I could give you, has sent—as never before and never since—a supply of coal. You cannot under¬ stand it. I do. Havens! Havens! My friend, you have a right to argue from precedent that God is going to take care of you. Has he not done it two or throe times every day? That is most mar¬ velous. I look back and wonder that God has given mo food three times a day regu¬ larly and all ray lifetime, lost never missing but once, then I was in tho mountains, but that every morning and that very night 1 met tlie ravens. Oh, the Lord is so good that I wish all His people would trust Him with the two lives—the life you are living and that which every tick of the watch and every stroke of the clock informs you is approaching.

Look down, and you see noth¬ ing but your spiritual deformities. Look back, and you see nothing but wasted op¬ portunity, Cast your, eye forward, and you have a fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversary.

Do you not feel the rush of air on your cheek? Havens! Havens! There is only one question I want to ask, How many of this audience are willing to trust God for the supply of their bodies and trust the Lord Jesus 'Christ for the re¬ demption of their immortal souls? Amid the clatter of the hoofs and the clang of the wheels of the judgment chariot the whole matter will be demonstrated. , ~ (.IONS IN THE CELLAR.'
