81 said, 81 will walk in the fields"
God said, NAY, walk in the town"
said, There are no flowers there"
He said, mo flowers, but a crown"
said, But the fogs are thick and the
the clouds
| Are yelling the sun"
He answered, But hearts are sick and
souls
! In the dark undone."
I said, But the skies are black. There
Nothing but noise and din

When you get to glory you will be-
moan the fact that you didn't have a

feel himself duty bound to keep it?
Don't you think God feels duty
bound when you question a motive he
has promised to answer? That ought
to be enough.

and build their nests up here: who
tells them our frosts are over and
the flowers and the trees are bloom
ing and budding: who tells the birds
to leave here and go South; who tells
the rivers to freeze; who tells the

Birds and Nature
Who tells the wild geese to leave
South America and go way UP to Win

your young Who tells the plants to
burst out? Who tells the grass to turn
green, and the leaves? Does God do

Who tells the bee to leave that hive
and go yonder to that clover patch,
and then come back to the hive? And
you can move it fifty fet and he will
go back to where that hive was and
stay there. And he will go three or
four miles and leave that clover field
