I'm the evening Rev. ShOckley used
as a beginning of a series of sermons
on the relationship of poems and re-
IigiOn-"A Poem to a Water Fowl"
by William Cullen Bryant, and also
had the picture and original sigma
ture of Bryant. The pastor said the
text that he was going to use had
come to him from Canada in most
peculiar way. not by letter, automo-
bile nor man force of any kind, but
by water fowl" He then said
mallard duck was killed by his
brother in-law on the shores of the
Delaware River sometime last year
and around one leg was an aluminium
band with the inscription OH one side,
1st. Peter and He careth for
YOU while on the other side it said |
write Jack Miner, Kingsville, Ontario, |
Canada. He also explained that Jack |
Minef was u man who always tried |
to make home for stray fowl and |
when hc would give them freedom.
sent them away with scriptural |
message in the form Of an exhOrta-
tiOn to those who should receive il 1
in distant lands. TO feed the flock of
God and be watchful over them.
The pastor remarked that wild fowl
have Il wonderful instinct for direc-
tiOn and destination. and so also have
human beings an instinct for the di-
rection and destiny of the soul.

cd a very good musical selection,
and the Young People will assist the
pastor with the services next Sunday
