Lincoln and the Birds.

One of the most interesting and pa.
thetic incidents of which l have ever
read or heard is connected with the
memory of Abraham Lincoln.
In company once with some other
candidates who were out on a political
campaign he saw in the woods near
the close of the day some baby birds
that had been blown out of their
nest. Asking to be allowed to gel
down from the carriage, which passed
on ahead. Mr.. Lincoln picked up the
tiny creatures and restored them to
their little home. On reaching the inn
be was asked the cause of his delay
and astonished his hearers by telling
them of his humane act. declaring that
had he not returned the brides to
their mothers care he could not have
slept that night.

June come the "June walks" continu-

place throughout all the ..merrie
moneth of May" Perhaps May day Is
the best day Of all the year for a ma
tional children's day. with formal and
ceremonious ~observances. since 1t is
an informal children's day anyway.
Leading educators. librarians and
others interested In the development
and training of children have welcom-
ed the idea of setting aside n day
in the year for the gloriication of
childhood. I'VE owe the little ones
some recognition of the fact that a
large share of the Joy of life is diff
fused by them" said one OF these.
"In fact, ] am not sur that parents
do not owe more to their children than
the children do to their parents. Let
us get them all together on n day
and rejoice with them In the happi-
ness and freedom from care which
only childhood knows. Perhaps 1t will
bring back to us children of a larger
growth some OF the joy of living
which we lost when we left behind
our short skirts and knickerbockers."

official recognition of the debt

of our national life.
May 4 is the day chosen by many
states for their Bird day. The date is
q good one, for on it was born John
James Audubon, the immortal lover of
birds and depicter of their ways. The
Audubon societies named for him en-
courage In every possible way the cele-
bration of Bird day, and they have
been active IN inducing governors of
states to proclaim Bird days. In some
Of the northern states May 4 is a little
early for the outdoor exercises that
are peculiarly appropriate for Bird day.
especially when children take part In
them, SO later dates are chosen. Some
Of the more southern states have Sc
lected earlier dates.
In a pamphlet on Arbor day and Bird
day prepared by the state of Kentucky
appears the following:
How shall we go about preparing the
children for a Bird day exercise? We
must go to the birds themselves, OBJ

DdO'o SsdOsn0 q Lion strength for bat
Ting with the most terrifying giants.
Remembering this, each Christian
should daily strive to overcome little
weaknesses, little frailties-to conquer
in the little battles with selfishness, an
ger, malice, envy, evil-speaking. Victo-
ries and experiences gained with Gods
help in overcoming these give prepara-
ton for the greatest trials.
The Divine promise, ITO him that
overcometh will 1 grant to sit with Me
in My Throne" teaches that a great
victory must be won to prove ourselves
worthy of the great honor to which
God has called His Church. This vic
tory, however, is not always to the
strong, but to those whom God will
bless. The conflict which God will re-
ward is not strife with friends or neigh
bors, however unreasonable they may
be, but strife against sin and every
thing which the Divine Law opposes.
This strife and victory belong primari-
ly in our own hearts and minds, but
will extend, as Divine providence may
indicate, in battling against public
evils and in support of righteousness.
We are not to forget, however, that
the great giant of Sin and Iniquity,
which has dared Gods people for CEN
turtles, will be smitten down only at
Gods appointed time, and by the Anti
type of David-The Christ, Jesus the
Head and the Church His Body.

was suggested a year or two
ago. and now the idea of setting aside
a day in the year for the children Is
meeting with favor. 1t is peculiarly
fitting, say the advocates of Children's
day. to give the youngsters OF Ameri-
ca a day OF their own since America
is. above all other nations. the land OF
the children. Here childhood finds Its
greatest opportunity for growth and
expansion Nowhere else on earth do
parents sacrifice themselves so much
for their children. In fact. 1t has been
suggested time and again by foreign
observers that the children rule Amer
lea; that the older folks place them
selves too far IN the background OF
our national life and the children too
far In the foreground.
So far there has been little concert

childhood shall be glorifed and given
