ISAIAH on THE DOVES
Aye, here comes a whole flock Of doves
rock doves, ring doves, stock doyes-and
they make Isaiah think of great revivals
and great awakenings when souls fly for
shelter like flock of pigeons swooping TO
the openings of pigeon coop, aud cries
out, "Who are these that fly as doves to
their windowsi' David, with Saul after
him and flying from cavern TO cavern,
compares himself to desert partridge, a
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, II am hunted as a par
fridge on the mountains" Speaking OF his
forlorn condition, he says, 81 am like a
pelican of the Wilderness" Describing his
loneliness, he says, Il am swallow alone
on housetop." Hezekiah, in the ENACT
alton OF his sickness, compares himself 60 a
crane, thin and wasted Job had so much
trouble he could not sleep nights, and he
describes his insomnia by saying, II am a
companion TO owls. Isaiah compares the
desolations Of banished Israel to an owl
and bittera and coImorant among city's
ruins
Jeremiah, describing the cruelty Of par
ents toward children, compares them 10
the ostrich, who leaves its eggs in the sand
uncared for, crying, "The daughter of my
people is become like the ostriches of the
Wilderness. Among the provisions piled
on Soiomon's bountiful table the Bible
speaks of 'fatted fowl" The Isr1elites IN

quails-quails for breakfast, quails for din

quails The Bible refers TO the migratory
habits of the birds and says, THE stork |

the fraud, he points to failure at incu

eggs and hateheth them not, so he that /

them in the midst of his days and At his /
end shall be fool" The partridge, the

and often near n frequented road, or In

dishonest dollars will hatch out of them no
peace, no satisfaction. no happiness. no SC

What vivid similitude! The quickest
way to amass a fortune is by iniquity, but
the trouble is about keeping il. Every hour
Of every day some such partridge is driven
