Soon they heard two bears talking,
and mother said they were near home.
Up the tree she ran, telling them TO
follow; they tried to climb, but the tired
little feet would slip and slide, and
down they would roll; she scolded and
coaxed, but they could not climb.
Grandfather picked up one little
bundle of nuts and carried it to the
cubby hole, and dropped it in on the
new carpet of moss, and her flew back
for the other. Then he scratched his
head and thought out a plan. Putting
his gray head to the earth, he told one
of them to get on his back and put two
little feet under his chin, his wings
spread, and up to the nest came the
baby. Another trip for grandfather,
and he had the pleasure of seeing two
little brown heads by mother squirrel.

SERMON OF
SERIES ON BIRDS.
The Rev. T. Arid Moffat Makes
Subject Interesting.

In the fourth sermon of his series
or 1.-THE Birds which he began some
weeks ago, the Rev. T. Arid Moffat,
speaking in the First Congregational
Jube Memorial Church last night, re-
lated many interesting traits of the
winged tribe, and some of the ways in
which they merit respect for their
seeming expression of intelligence, af-
lection and many other qualities which
man assume as being his sole pos
session.
1.-THE art of old Greece made much
of the human FORM" said the pastor,
land medieval painting revelled in
Madonnas. 1t is a pretty modern idea
to include the other animals to a share
in our glorifcation, and yet the old
time symbol of the cherubim included
the birds and the beasts with man in
it's representation.
And as we study the other orders
sympathetically we see how clearly
the Divine Father put the marks of
His love upon them and how tenderly
He cares for them"

The Worst Thing in the World.

Is the worst thing in the world, as love
is the greatest. Selfishness fills the

DISCOURSES ON EVIL
OF PRESENT CENTURY.
1t Is Impatience, Says the Rev,
A. S. Zimmerman.

Those addicted to haste and impa-
thence in the ordinary affairs of life
were given food for thought in a SER
mon delivered In the Memorial Pres
byterian Church last night by the pas
tor, the Rev. Andrew S. Zimmerman.
Taking as his text HE that believeth
shall not make haste" he said, in part:
"Impatience is eating the life out of
the world today. 1t is filling the peni-
tentiaries with criminals and over
stocking lunatic asylums and aims
houses. 1t breeds discomfort and fills
hosts of people with envious hate.
"Young people are not willing to be-
gin life in poverty, hence the belated
wedding day or the unhappy wife tied
|.up to the moneyless man. People are
not doing their best because they are
not thinking of their work. but how to
increase their profits. They want the
reward without the labor. This ma
terialistic age has destroyed faith. and
| faith is the mother of patience. School
children want to get out and do some
thing. .
