THE LESSON OF THE DOVES.
Ave. here comes whole flock Of doves
rock doves, ring doves. stock doves
and they make Isaiah think Of great re
yiyals and great awakenings when souls
| Hy for shelter like flock Of pigeons
swooping to the openings Of pigeon
coop, and he cries out. WHO are thes,
that fly as doves to their windowsF
David. with Saul after him. and hyint
| from cavern 10 cavern. compares himself
to desert partridge, bird which es
| pecially haunts rocky places, and boy
and hunters to this day take after 1t witt
sticks. for the partridge runs rather thar
flies
David. chased and clubbed and harriet
Of pursuers, says Il am hunted as par
| fridge on the mountains" Speaking o.
his forlorn condition. he says. IL am lik'
pelican in the wilderness. Describing
his loneliness. he says. II am swallow
alone on the housetop.' Hezekiah, II
the emaciation OF his sickness, compares
himself to crane. thin and wasted. Jol
had 30 much trouble he could not sleel
nights, and he describes his insomnia b.
saying, II am "a companion TO owls.
Isaiah compares the desolations OF ban
ished Israel to an owl and bittern ant
cormorant among city's ruins.
Jeremiah, describing the cruelty Of par
ents toward children. compares them Il
the ostrich. who leaves its eggs In tn
sand uncared for. crying, Tho dnughte
of my people is become like the ostriche
of tho Wilderness Among the provi
sions piled on Solomon's bountiful tabl
the Dible speaks of "fatted fowl" TIL
Israelites in the desert got tired OF mannl
and they had quails--quails for break
fast. quails for dinner, quails for supper
and they died of quails. The Bible re
ters 10 the migratory habits OF the bird
and says. "The stork knoweth her ap
! pointed time aud the turtle and the cram
and the swallow the time of their going
but my people know not the judgment
Of the Lord"
Would the prophet illustrate the fat
Of fraud. he points to n failure at incuba
tion and says. "As partridge sitteth OF
eggs and hatcheth them not. 30 he tina
gotteth riches and not by right shal
leave them in the midst of his days an,
at his end shall be fool" The par
fridge. the most careless OF all birds il
choice OF It's place Of nest, building 1t o.
the ground and often near frequente'
road or In slight depression OF ground
without reference 70 safety, and soon
hoof or scythe or cart wheel ends all
SO says the prophet, n man who gather
under him dishonest dollars will hate
out OF them no peace, no satisfaction, N
happiness, no security.

but the trouble IN about keeping 1t. Ey
