teresting study the stork which knoweth
her appointed time; the common sparrows
teaching tic* lesson of God's providence; careless
the ostriches of the desert, by in-

parents who do not take enough pains with
their children; the eagle symbolizing the
riches which take wings and fly away;
pelican emblemizing solitude; the bat, a

God for quail’s whistle, and lark’s carol,

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

There is an incident in my toxt that
baffles all the ornithological wonders of

Elijah, did he waiting for something to eat. Why

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

These ravens of the text did not bring

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

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.

About 5, or ti, or 7 o’clock in the morning

spots on the sky, and you will hear the flap-
ping of wing, and instead of Edgar A. Too’s

“only this and nothing more,” you will
find Elijah’s two ravens, or two ravens of

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

gathered his family at the altar, and with
household—for ills family he gathered bondage the slaves of tlie

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\

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

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

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,

not always mean advancement and that

Children of God, get up out of your de¬

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

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. ,
