ten or fifteen years ago Oh for
higher flight in the Christian life, the
storls and the crane in their migration
teaching Us the lesson
Dear Lord aud shall We everl i've
Al this poor dying rate
Our love 50 fulnt so Geld TO thee,
And thine TO us so create
Again, remark that the birds Of
the mir are wiser than we, because they
know when to start, II you should go
out now and shout stop, storlSs and
cranes, don't be in hurry" they
would say, mo, we cannot stop; last
night we heard the roaring IN
the shrill flute 90 the north wind
has sounded the retreat We must
20. We must go" So they gather
themselves into companies, and turn
ing not aside for storm on mountain
top or shock of musketry, over land
and sea, straight rs an arrow 10 tho
mark they go And IL You come out
this morning with sack OF corn and
throw II In the fields and try TO get
them to stop, they are So far up they
would hardly see IT, They are on
their WY south, You could not
stop them. Oh that we were
rs wise about the best time
To start for God and heaven!
We say, wait until II is little later
in the season of mercy. Wait until
some of these green leaves of hope are
all dried up and have been scattered,
Wait until next year, After while
we start, and IL Is too late, and we per-
| ish in the way when Gods wrath il
l,inded but little. There are, you
know, exceptional cases where birds
| have started too late, and in the morn
ing YOU have found them dead on the
snow. And there are those who have
| persisted halfway between the world
and Christ. They waited until the last
sickness, when the mind was gone, on
they were ON the express train going
ut forty miles an hour, and they camo
| To the bridge and the "draw was up
and they went down How long to re-
pent and prayp Two seconds Two
seconds! TO do the work of u lifetime
and TO prepare for the vast eternity in
two secondsl was reading of an en-
tertainment given in u Kings court,
and there were musicians there, with
elaborate pieces Of music. After
u while Mozart came and began
TO play, and he had u blank piece
of paper before him, and the King IN.
miliarly looked over his shoulder and
said, "What IRE you playingP | see nc
music before you" And Mozart put
his hand ON his brow, as much as to
say, III am improvising." II was very
well In him, but oh, my friends, we
cannot cxtemporize heaven. II we do
) not get prepared in this world, we will
never take part In the orchestral har-
monies Of the saved. oh that we were
, us wise ns the crane and the stork,
flying away, flying away from the
tempest
You may have noticed that when the
chaflinch or the storl or the crane
starts ON its migration, IL calls all
) those of It's kind to come, too. The
; tree tops are full of chirp and whistle
, and carol and the long roll-cnll. The
> bird does not start off alone, IL gath
> crs all of It's kind. q that you might
be as wise in this migration 10 heaven,
q and that you might gather all your
families and your friends with you! !
would that Hannah might take Samuel
I by the hand, and Abraham might take
: Isaac, and lIagar might take lshmael
Start for heaven yourself, and take
! your children with you. Come thou
. and all thy house into the ark. Tell
9 your little ones that there are realms
= Of balm and sweetness for all those who
fly in the right direction. Swifter
u than eagle's,strolse, put out for heaven.
y Like the crane OF the storlS stop not
u night nor day until You find the right
"a place for stopping.

Is The Spirit calls to-day
