hundred years Of age, find out when
the world was fit again for human resi-
denee after the universal freshetP A
bird will tell and nothing else can. No
man can come down from the mountain
to invite Noah and his family out to
terra frma, for the mountains were
submerged. AS bird first heralded the
human race into the world, now bird
helps the human race back to the world
that had shipped sea that whelmed
everything. Noah stands on Sunday
morning at the window Of the Ark, in
his hand cooling dove, so gentle, 80
innocent, so affectionate, and he said:
"Now, my little dove, fly away over
these waters, explore, and come back
and tell us whether it is safe to land"
After long fight it returned hungry
and weary and wet, and by its looks
and manners said to Noah and his fam
lily: "The world is not, at for you to
disembark" Noah waited week, and
next Sunday morning he let the dove
fly again for second exploration, and
Sunday evening it came back with a
leaf that had the sign Of just having
been plucled from living fruit tree,
and the bird reported the world would
do tolerably we'll for bird to live in,
but not yet sufficiently recovered for
human residence. Noah waited another
week, and next Sunday morning he
sent out the dove on the third explora-
ton, but it returned not for it found
the world so attractive now 1t did not
want to be Gagged again, and then the
emigrants from the antediluvian world
landed. 1t was bird that told them
when to take possession of the resusci-
tated planet So the human race were
saved by birds wing; for, attempting
to land too soon, they would have per-
ished.
Aye, here come whole flock Of doves
-rockdoves, ringdoves stockdoves-
and they make Isaiah think of great re-
vivals and great awakenings when souls
fly for shelter like flock OF pigeons
swooping to the openings of pigeon
coop, and he cries out: "Who are these
that fly as doves to their windowsP"
David, with Saul after him, and flying
from cavern to cavern, compares him
self to desert partridge, bird which
especially haunts rocky places, and
boys and hunters TO this day take after
It with sticks, for the partridge runs
rather than flies David, chased and
dubbed and harried of pursuers, says:
81 am hunted as partridge on the
mountains" Speaking Of his forlorn
condition, he says: 81 am like pelican
Of the wilderness" Describing his loneli'
ness, he says: III am a swallow alone
on a housetop. Hezekiah, in the
emaciation of his sickness, com
pares himself to crane, thir
and wasted Job had so mucf
trouble he could not sleep nights, ant
/ he describes his insomnia by saying
II am companion to owls" Isaial
I compares the desolations of banishet
1 Israel TO an owl and bittern and cor
morant among the city's ruins. Jere
I miah desert bing the cruelty of parent
D toward their children compares ther
: TO the ostrich, who leavesits eggs In tn
5 sand uncared for, crying: "The daugh
ter Of my people is become like the oi
i triches Of the wilderness" Among tn
o provisions piled on Solomon's bountifr
q table, the Bible speaks of "fatted fowl.

Q breakfast, quails for dinner, quails fC
