search for food, and It was most re-
markable sight TO watch the evident
surprise OF the birds as they approach
ed their roost TO discover that their
ground had been usurped. Several
flocks rounded up' In full view OF all,
and 1t could be noticed that they were
bewildered and did not know what to
do. They stood still. apparently para-
lyzed, for some time, and as other
flocxs soon arrived they all began to
fly up into the trees right in the mid
die of the camp. At this moment
everyone seemed to be imbued with
the desire to shoot aud q fusillade be-

trees OF fifty or more OF the bronzed
beauties; and. OF course, driving all
the remainder from their roosts until
the air was full OF the frightened birds.
AS night drew on, not knowing or
failing to seek another roosting place,
back they came, but in increasing
numbers, determined, apparently. to
roost there or nowhere. The air and
the ground were filed with turkeys;

A Sepulcher in the Garden.

Many of you, nay, most of you, know
full well what it it is to have a sepul-
cher in the garden of your lives. You
know the shadow that it sheds over all
the pleasant alleys and the bordered
paths. You need not be told how 1t
changes the place for you into some
thing other than it was. But there is
another aspect. Not a spot in all the
enclosure brought to Joseph of Arima-
thea so enduring joy as the very place
he had builded for sorrow. And the
sepulcher in your garden may do the
same foryo 1t may be a resurrection
spot for your soul. Out of this sorrow
which wraps you round, you may rise
into purer and serener day. The
rolling of the great stone to the door
may mark the finishing and hiding
away of one portion of your Christian
life; and the rolling of that stone away
on the third morning may be the COM
mencement of higher and more con-
secrated one. And if this be the case,
then the sepulcher spot in your days
will be the most blessed OF all. Its iOv
will reach farther, shine clearer, endure
longer, than any belonging to the hours
when your garden knew no tomb. U.s.
ing your sorrow Alright, it may teach
you, as it has taught many, how to saw
o deem not they are blest alone
Whose lives peaceful tenor keep;
For God, who pities man, hath shown,
A blessing for the eyes that weep.

Up Int Light.

No doubt the crOcus and its cOmpan-
ions have found it dark and little
rough and chilly down under the garden
mold. Very slight were the delicate
tendrils, very tender the starting shoots
that persisted, under difficulties, in
coming up. Very different was the
world down there at the dark starting
place from the sunlit space above. But
the crocus was in earnest. Its COM
panions as well as itself meant to arise,
and it used its aspirations and its pa
thence and its floral push, and came to
blossom out its fragrance and its glad
ness. Can we do less in our own way?
The crocus in one sense could not re-
sist. We alone and others like us can
hold back when the glorious sun with
healing in his beams would draw us to
the light and warmth and free unfold
ing of aforementioned possibilities?
Are we all poisoning all the help and
sweetness into our homes that we were
intended to? The crocus does not wait
to be placed in public gardens, but
comes up where it feels the call. And
there are "the lilies" that he must
have loved. We know their lesson.
Shall we not be care-free, joyful-hearted
in all our households? And as are the
households so is the great, wide world

What Charity Means.

BY charity do not mean merely
alms-giving. Sometimes the giving
away of money may be the easiest part
of mans dover. BY charity mean
love, sympathy, comprehensiveness of
noble feeling toward all races, classes,
peoples and languages. Christianity
sees even in the savage Son of God.
Christianity finds the soul of good in
things evil. Under no other compul-
sion could the Son of God have laid
aside the glory and accepted the in
carnation which this day we recall with
feelings of thankfulness. The more
you are impelled to do good, the more
are you in Christ. If you can not rest
until you have saved another man, you
may be perfectly sure that you are
under inspiration of the cross. If you
can rest perfectly well without caring
what becomes of other souls, then
know for certainty that you have not
seen or felt the meaning or the power
of the cross of Christ.-EGchange.

The autumn winds blew chill within the house
We're cold and damp and gloom.
In disconnected mood, and sad at heart
passed from room to room.
No CHEEKY fire blazed high upon the hearth
Or shone with rudy glow
For all my store of creature comforts lay
Within the Long Ago.
A gentle step upon the outer porch,
A tap upon the pane,
Aroused me from my revere of grief
Their cause to ascertain.
Before me- as I opened wide the door,
tiny figure stood,
Bending beneath the weight of what appeared
fagot of dry wood.
Upon the hearth he laid his burden down,
And, ere he went his way,
Another messenger had entered soft,
could not say him nay
Through all that season of distress and gloom
The fagot-bearers came,
Each leaving on the hearth a stick of wood
That kindled into flame
No life can be so desolate and sad,
No heart so full of care,
That may not have these messengers of God
Bring warmth and comfort there.
BY day, by night, in sunshine or in storm,
The hours their tasks fulfil;
And blessed are the homes wherein they leave
The fagots of Gods will
