ENGLISH THRUSHES TUNE UP
songsters Are In Evidence Even Early
In February, Robins Singing
Throughout the Winter.

Thrushes in England are early sing
ers. and II Is not unusual to hear a
thrush singing even In the first week
of February, says the Christian Science
Monitor The gardens-and, Of course.
thrush loves garden--are then
green, and moist. and very quiet and
already in full possession Of the robin,
a very charming musician-a musician
that sings throughout the winter and
gains particular laurels In doing 80.
This season the thrushes that in
habit the woods and hedges anG re-
main during the winter have decided
to break through tradition and sing
as much and as early as they have a
mind to. II seems that they, as well
as the robins, sing In December and
sing in full voice. Some one has heard
a De Reszke in thlcket, who begins
with the ddybreak, and sings as glori-
Gus song as any that he is wont to
sing in the early days Of spring.
Have his calculations been thrown
out by the mildness Of the weather,
for we hear Of lunches Of outdoor
chrysanthemum coming In from
country gardens, or Is there move
ment on foot for complete liberty OF
action in regard to the commence
ment and duration Of the musical sea-

We find this to be an ideal place for
the sister churches to meet in union
services. However, the darkening
shades of the evening fell upon us
while we followed Rev. Brooks in
his splendid thought and helpful
sermon, and at the close we found
our splendid audience enveloped in
darkness. And since we are doing
our best to follow Alright. He who
received those who dwell. in dark

toll and impaired to them the illum-
mating splendors of a changeless;

tender mercy OF our God, the day
spring from on high visited those
who were found working in the.
dark and guided their feet into the
way of light. We are indeed very
hopeful for the proper equipment
for lights, so in case of cloudy
evening like last Sunday evening, we.
will be able to light up the grounds.
Invite your friends and come enjoy
these services with us.
