The Mosaic law strictly forbade the kill

or young, enforcing the prohibition by the
weighty sanction that II may be well with
thee and that thou mayst prolong thy
days. The life even Of a bird is sacred;
the killing of the mother bind and allow

cruelty deserving misfortune and shOrt-
ness of days. Bird protection Is one of
the purposes of our society When the

The care of the mother bird lowering her
young under her wings, is used repeatedly
TO set forth Gods care for His people.
But most touchingly the figure comes in
in the lament over Jerusalem in view OF
its subsequent destruction: "Oh, Jorusa-
lem, Jerusalem, how often would l have
gathered thy children togetehr, even as a
hen gathered her chickens under her
wings, ard ye would not"
Wings signify swiftness strength, pro-
lection; may not this be the meaning Of
the wings which are ascribed to angels?
May not a similar symbolism attach even
to the wings of the cherubim which over
Swallowed the mercy seat in the Most Holy
Place of the temple?

The game laws are even more generally
disregarded by the settlers. The wardens
are all Of their own kin, and so long as the
violations are not altogether too glaring
no man need fear prosecution. Travelling
perhaps fifty miles inland, the hunting
parties make regular battues, and the
shooting IS done with the most primitive
firearms and with the utmost cruelty to
each OF the poor animals as escape death.
The weapons used are ancient muskets.

less severely, and make their way into
