BECOMING A GREAT
NUISANCE


that they destroy a few insects, but if
general observation has been accurate
they by no means make a business of in
sect destruction Their food consists of
grain, and while they may devour an
insect If one comes across their path,
yet they never go out of their prescribed
course to select this form of food.
Possibly they could be forgiven for
the amount of grain they devour if their
other habits We're good, but they seem
TO have a passionate dislike for all other
forms Of useful and beautiful birds. They
are swift of wing and in combat are
moro than a match for all Corners Their
numbers have grown to such an extent
that they have become a serious pest
around barns and stables. In northern
climates they are generally obliged to
spend their winters in these Quarters
where they become a great nuisance
around grain bins, as well as in hay
mows. In the cities they litter up the
docrsteps and pavements and chatter
around the windows at daybreak.
Just what to do to get rid Of these
offensive little intruders is a difficult
question. They are instinctively suspi-
cious, and attempts made to poison them
are generally crowned with failure

There is some difference of opinion
among those who have made a speciality
OF bird study concerning the early in
PRODUCTION of the English sparrow into
tins country. One thing is certain, that
me bird IS not native of the United
states, but has some time in the past
been introduced from its native land.
II Is generally supposed that the first
batch of English sparrows were liberated
IN New York about the year 1851. The
hrst lot did not thrive we'll and their
numbers We're aided to in 1852 and 1858
Al intervals during the next few years
large numbers of these birds were i'm
ported and scattered in various parts
OF this country. The largest Importation
that was brought at one time Consisted
OF about LOCO birds, which were distrib-
uted IN Eastern cities in 1869 During the
hrst few years after their introduction
many OF these birds failed to become
2cclImated, but, to our sorrow. they have

Whatever the object of those who in
Iroduced these birds might have been,
one thing is sure, that we have no great

THE FATHERS CARE

The Christian Endeavor topic for July
6 is found in Matthew VI, 1884; Psalms
CHI. 1874.
The Fatnerhood of God is no nominal
iieiat'onshlp. Its reality is as sure as
its preciousness. AS our Father, God
Loves US, is specially interested in us
and provides for u.s.
Like as father pitieth his children,
SO the Lord pitieth them that fear
HIM" Take 70 thought for your life,
What We shall eat or what We shall drink:
nor yet for your body, what We shall put
en-. is not the life more than meat and
fowls of the air. for they SOW not. neither
do they reap or gather into barns; vet
your Heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are We not muen better than they?" God
as our Father does care for u.s.
God is revealed unto us under MANY
d1Ierent names and titles in His word,
but none of these is so precious as the
special al revelation of Christ that He is
our Father, carrying with it as He de-
clares, fathers love ard care
i Gods fatherly care does not mean ex-
emption from trials and Affections in this
me- Though many draw this conclusion.
such doctrine is not taught in the word
OF COO or In Christian experience The
Bible clearly teaches that Sin the world
we, shall have tribulation" and that
whom the Lord loveth He chastenetIl
and scourgeth every son whom He re :.
celveth. If we endure Christening, God
dealeth with you as sons, for what son

ON the basis of Gods fatherly care MANY
llliogicaily assumed that no Affections and
trials should come, and when they 90
they doubt Gods existence or His low
ing care. Such doubts, however ara
childish and foolish. Gods care does not
exempt us from the troubles of life. It
does, however, guarantee that no troubles
will come but what are for our good and
that he will sustain us in them. What
seems good to us is Outlines i'll, and what
seems the worst is often for the best
God sees the end as well as the begin
ming, and is therefore better able to Judge
what is best for us. We cannot UNDER
stand all His dealings with us. but when
we cannot understand we can trust. and
what we do not know now we shall know
hereafter
Gods fatherly care should make us
calm and confident amid all the diver
stiles of our present life Our Father
can and He will take care of us. There
fore take no thought saying, What shall
we eat? or What shall be drink? or
Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For
all these things do the gentiles seek; for
your Heavenly Father knoweth that We
have need of all these things But seek
We first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness. and all these things shall
