'OND9AOORf 49, hAoJ ~ ANoOs
At called meeting of the local Vestry
of Emmanuel P. f. Church the death Of
the late Rector Rev. J. T. L. Hyncs Was
the sad subject of consultation and con-
sideration, and it was resolved to make
formal record of (our) tribute to the
work and memory of our late Rector,
yoicing as we believe, the heart-utter-
ance Of his flock, when we say.
He came amongst Us personally a
stranger but soon won our esteem and
affection. He was eloquent of speech,
Jealous and earnest, learned in the history
of onr Church, her forms, cannons, dis
cipline and doctrines, and knew well the
value and use of her beautiful ritual, Int
above all, he was deeply imbued with the
true teachings of "the scriptures" in
their profonndness and huhilities.
He was no sticker for forms, but believ-
ed in a reasonable observance as judiciou-
and proper not for the form sake, but for
WIZ oN''Ni "OAouiPt VIC huoH iuil "oi'
that be was possessed beautifully OF the
broad Christian spirit Of general brother
hood, and unity above and beyond con-
fessiOns and professions. The Masters
work was his great aim and purpose, yet
without ostentation he stood for his
Church and to his "ordlnation vows"
Ibis gifted, charitable, honest, upright,
fearless, God-ssrving man has been called
we believe to higher 6slds of work aud
usefulness, and is it not for us to follow
his praise worthy examplei
These heartfelt expressions imperfeetly
uttered we request our secretary to trans
nit to the family of onr late Brother in
proper form and also as he deems proper
to make publication hereof

The Inestimable Value of Birds.

The following article on the great
necessity of protecting the birds, is from
a recent issue of the Stanton Spectator
and is in line with what we have been
trying to impress upon our readers from
time to time. This question is Of vital
Importance especially to our farmers,
and fruit growers, and they can't take
action in this matter a moment too soon:
1--WE haye endeayored for many years
to impress on the public mind the i'm
portance of birds to the raising of grain,
vegetable, and fruit crops. II there were
no BIRDS the insects wonld prevent the
raising of either grain, vegetable or fruit
crops, and a famine would be the result
and IT would be not temporary merely,
but permanent, and. as we have before
maintained, man could not exist IN a
state of civilization, but would be re-
manded to barbarism, his only means of
subsistence being fish and wild game:
We have maintained that the most bene
fetal law the Legislature of the several
States could enact would be law in
hibiting the killing of any Insectivorous
bird whatever We are pleased to see
that the press is beginning to appreciate
the vast Importance of protecting the
birds. On this subject the Brooklyn
EAGLE well says that, before many years
have passed the Legislature of our States
and nation will be forced to some action
on the needless destruction of birds. The
robins and bluebirds and wrens aud the
hundreds of glad little strangers of the
woods and fields have been driven away
not merely from the cities, which they
used to inhabit, but from the villages on
the outskirts, and in some cases from even
the isolated hamlots. The increase in
insect pests within two or three years
betokeus grave danger, and the cheap
est and surest way to meet it is to stop
killing the birds and let them return and
dine upon the moths and caterpillars and
the rest of the evil tribe that strip our
trees and gardens. 1t will take many
wears at best 10 restore them in such num-
bers as they could be reckoned by dozen
or twenty years ago, but people by eeas-
ing to be sportsmen, or at least by ceas-
ing to kill the BIRDS that are of no use
as food, can bring good times back.
without birds our gardens and yards and
nearby farms and woods must remain
the prey of the worm, the slug, the bug.
the fly and other creeping aud crawling
things. No birds. no cabbages, no shade
trees, no potatoes. no flowers. 1t will be
expensive in the future ii all our garden
truck has to be raised under glass"
