BIRDS WINCINC
TO NORTH FOR
SUMMER VISIT
SongSters Returning From
Wide Range of Winter
Season Resorts.
By Science Service

By Science Serrice
WASHINGTON. March s. The
fIocks of returning songbirds that
already are fitting across the lawns
lately under a blanket OF snow. and
filling all the countryside tfickets.
are gathering home from a wide
range of winter resorts.
Some Of them have not been more
than a few hundred miles away at
any time during the winter, others
are flying back from the other side
of the equator.
The robin, whose return marks
spring in our minds much morc
surely than any calendar date, Is
one Of the more conservative jour
meyers. He goes no farther than
the Gulf coast as rule. SO that ha
may be back in time for the earliest
Of early worms.
Tree sparrowS, golden crowned
hnglets, grackles and cowbird$ are
other birds that are satisfied With
winter homes In the United States.
The multitudinous family Of
warblers, tiny though they are, is
wider-ranging Some species mi
CRATE into the West Indies, and
some. undismayed by the long hop
demanded by the Caribbean, cross
over into South America. reaching
Venezuela, Ecuador and even Brazil.
The marsh wren Of the upper Mis-
sissippi valley gets as far south as
central Mexico.
These long journeys, undertaken
every year by vast numbers Of birds,
demand heavy toll In life, says Or.
Alexander Wetmore Of the United
States national museum, who has
written a widely used book on the
subject Of bird migrations.
Storms, unfamiliar covcrts and
exposure to the attacks of winged
and four-foot enemies, to say moth
ing OF the possibility OF becoming
lost while crossing broad stretches
OF water, annually destroy our
smaller migrants In untold thous-
ands," he says.
1t is for this reason that there is
no material increase in the total
number of any species from season
to season, in spite Of the fact that
each nesting pair will raise from
four to a dozen young each year.
And If reckless killing or the de-
struction of breeding grounds inter-
venes this balance may be upset and
put on the downgrade very easily.
as happened in the case of the pas
Senger pigeon, once the most ru-
meFous OF birds, but now totally ex-
tinct.

Editor Of The Congregationalist


OUR lesson is based upon what is
" called the parable of the sower,
and that parable has been rather
more unfortunate in its title than
in any other respect. The title al
most inevitably fixes our attention
upon the sower and the manner OF
sowing his seed, whereas the lesson
Of Jesus in the parable, as is made
very plain in its close, relates not
so much to the sower as to the
ground or to the listener.
The parable is interesting owing
to the fact hat tits one OF the par
ables which Jesus himself has eX-
pounded, and its conclusion, 1t
should be remembered, Is not take
heed how We SOW" that is take
heed how you scatter the seeds OF
truth" but take heed how We hear. :"
Look we'll to it that the ground of
your hearts and minds upon which
seeds of truth may be scattered may
be prepared and may receive those
seeds with fruitfulness. So then,
we ought to call the parallels not
the parallels of the ''sower," but the
parable of the "hearer."
The Need for Lavishness
Possiblystae parable has teach
ing. for the sower as well. There
can be no particular value in the
wasting of seed upon poor ground.
But, on the other hand, if there is
any lesson that nature teaches us
and that may be equally applied in
the world of grace, it is the lesson
of the lavishnesS Of sowing to in
sure a crop. 1t is the one field in
which everything seems TO go be-
vond the realm of calculation or
narrow economic provision.
The fact that forms of life both
in its lower and its higher mani
festations frequently become ex-
tinct despite this lavish provision
for reproduction shows that nature
after all may not be any too lavish
in its economy. But none the less
one Of the most interesting facts is
the power of life in the seed that is
sown and in the higher forms to
reproduce itself upon such vast
scale.
So in the realm Of grace there
has developed the tradition Of
scattering the seed far and wide.

desert places, in the hope that some

Sunday School Lesson

particle of fertile soil and bring
forth fruit.
The more one looks over the his
tory Of the progress of religion in
the world. both in general and in
its remarkable redemptive achieve
ments in individual lives. the more
one realizes how much Of the har-
vest would likely have been missed
If man had been too economical or
calculating in his sowing of the
seeds of truth. In the most unlikely
places, where there seemed to be no
soil, or where the soil had been COW
cred up, seeds Of the new life have
taken hold and have found root and
have been enabled to grow.
Hence, probably the teaching Of
Jesus would have been narrowing
rather than enlarging, destructive
rather than constructive, if this
parable had been chiefly one for the
sower leading him to undue caution
and to the withholding of his hand.
But as a parable for the nearer it
lays all the emphasis upon making
the words of truth more effective.
In a world where the seeds of life
are so manifold it would seem that
the profoundest duty and privilege
is to prepare the ground Of our own
hearts and minds and reap in our
own experience the harvest that
God intends.
Human Opportunity
Perhaps We have paid altogether
too little attention to the matter Of
the preparation of the ground Of
life both in our own lives and in
the lives Of others. It Is startling
thing to realize the extent to which
we live all the time in a world Of
almost boundless privilege and OPP
portunity where the proper attitude
Of the soul, in depth and responsive
ness, could make our lives glorious
and luxuriant where so often they
are shallow and barren. The love
of God can not transform the heart
that is closed to love. The truth Of
God can not enlighten and glorify
the mind that is closed to truth.
Even the power o. God can not
fructify the life that closes its will
to the divine impulse.
Man, after all, in large measure
determines the ground of his own
life and the area upon which the
seed of life is cast. God has given
us world Of large and abundant
sowing. The seeds Of opportunity
are scattered everywhere. But man
prepares the ground and the
harvest depends largely upon him
self. In a world of innumerable
and wonderful words Of life, the
admonision Of Jesus is, Take heed
how ye hear.
