You cannot see my thought,
but what's there comes through
the channels of speech, and so
travels through your ear to the
mind, and becomes part Of your
thought. Now, Christ became
the Word to take the thought
out of the mind and heart of
God and translate that thought
so that we could understand it,
so that what was before invisi-
BILE and inaudible and beyond
the reach of our senses, comes
into our minds and hearts. as
something that was in Gods
mind and heart, but now is in
ours. Beautiful, indeed, is
this as an expression Of what
Christ is to us. You want to
know God; well, then, study

Among the Greeks and the

The nature of the location
and types of the nests Of the
Eastern North American birds
show many curious features.
The grebe nests in and near the
water. The prairie hen, on the
contrary, nests on the ground,
being a terrestrial bird. Some
birds, like the meadow lark,
are partly arboreal, nesting
near the ground in trees. The
indigo bird is neither arboreal
nor terrestrial, although it
nests in the trees. The heron
is a striking exception to the
theory that habit decides the
nesting site. Although a ter
restrial bird it places its nest
high in the trees, as does the
wood duck, which is an aquatic
bird. Our wood hawks inhabit
trees, but the marsh hawks
nest in bogs, as do the marsh
gulls.
