THE RETURN OF THE BIRDS.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So
cial Corner:-Do We fully realize how
rich life is. how full it is of joy and
pleasure? The robins springtime song
ard his joyful glee through the whole
long day surely will gladden. our path
way.
Last summer two little wild cana
ries came to our yard and built a home
nest, and while the mother bird was
busy Matching and caring for the little
ones the male bird weuf: sit and sing
until I knew his little throat must
ache. He seemed to enjoy my pres
ence and the pretty compliments I
paid him; but one day I missed them
and the sweet song they had sung, and
I realized they had gene to their win
for my little pets, and only a few days
ago they appeared. I heard a e1lirp-
ing at the kitchen door and there they
were. They said to me, How do you
do? l know you are glad to see US.
/ gave them a warm welcome, and was
even more pleased to see them than ]
was the robin and the b1uebird that
came so much earlier. Did they know
that I had been watching for them
Or were they only messengers of love
that were sent to me at a time when
1 needed something to cheer. to en-
courage me? One can't be sad very
long at this season, when we see beau
ty and loneliness verywhere-when
we can enjoy seeing the sun rise and
set in all his glory, and the beautiful
green grass. and the bright, cheerful
flowers. Over my heart there steals
a sweet peace, and I look up and
praise Him from whom all blessings
come"
Come birds and sweet flowers to this
land of ours;
We've room. and you're welcome and
free,
For you are Gods smiles, you GU,
troubles beguile,
Come. be happy in field, shrub and
tree"
May our lives be as beautiful as the
birds and flowers, and a continued
sunshine and blessing to those
around us.

KINDNESS TO coe's CREATURES

Dear Sisters and Editer of the So
cial CoIner: AS I sit down to write,
the birds are all happy with their
little songs, and the Thought comes to
me: "3sw happy they arel" Per-
haps I should net have gathered cour-
age to write but to put a protest
against the practice or ceoping up the
little creatares which Gsd made free.
I hope Those who are inclined this
way think how they would like to be
shut up in one small room and never
allowed freedom. You could not pe
happy il so plnced, ne matter what
wealth or nood care w.Are given you.
