THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

little birds In the trees in the morning,
and to realize that they are new in the
neighborhood since yesterday, than to
know their names, If at the same time
one is simply going to be content with
knowing their names.
We make an earnest plea, therefore,
for an enjoyment of bird life as it comes
and goes, without too great an attempt
to understand it, or name it, or talk
sagely about it.
What is the little knowledge of the
average person on any subject, after all?
The more one happens to know, on a
given subject. the more he realizes how
little he knows.
1t is an old thought, but one which
comes home to one, now and then, with
peculiar force.
Amid the rushing days it is possible
to stand perfectly still, now and then.
and realize as never before that the
idea of the specialist is right.
The specialist, in any branch of knowl-
edge, is the person who has tried to
know something about one thing.
He has a little chance.
But what chance has the great aver
anything?
This idea is at the root of all religions,
and crops up in all proper minds at the
thought of all the immensity of the uni
verse and mans place in it.
That fortunate creature the young
man of eighteen years, knows it all,
perhaps, but he is the only person who
does.
Fear not to observe the little birds,
then, whether you know their proper
names or only call them birds
Their great name is enough.
Marvellous creatures, truly, things Of
air and light, above all.
1t is only within the last fifty years
that mankind has come to a renewed
realization of the worth of sunshine and
fresh air, but the birds have known it
for centuries.
A late wood thrush hoped in the
gutter at our feet.
He was late for these parts.
Only few of them are left now.
He raised an eye in our direction,
without fear or movement.
Who taught him, creature of the for
ests, to be so unconcerned?
We tried whistling few strains of his
beautiful song, with which he had sere-
naded the neighborhood two months ago.
The attempt was very poor, but the
thrush seemed to like it,
He cooked his head on one side.
Just for a second we thought he might
show us how to do it, but his singing
time for this year was over.
We moved closer.
He stood his ground until we were
within about three feet, then he de-
cided that he should move on.
Carefully, but with real courtesy, he
moved away few feet. What beau
tiful bird he is, the loveliest singer of
them all, the paragon of feathered lhel
Soon he will be flying around at
Chapel Hill, enjoying the balmy breezes
there, bringing quite fresh news Of Wash
ington to old friends.

Change.

Some people fear change: others de-
Sire it. But mutation Of itself is deceptive.
The history of human experience is rife
with lamentation over the variability of
the world and everything in it. Cicero
mourns that: Nothing maintains its
bloom forever; age succeeds age" And
Ovid, discouraged for reason, walls
that: "All is in perpetual flux; every
shadow is seen TO move"
The Elizabethans echoed the ancients,
Spenser declaring: Change still doth
reign, and keep the greater sway and
Shakespeare insisting: Nor It's not
strange that even our loves should with
our fortunes change"
Yet 1t was to later singers that the

ultimate pessimism was left. Byron, per-
haps, reached the bottom OF depression
when he announced:
And one by one in turn, some grand
mistake
Casts off its bright skin yearly like
the snakel"
Longfellow joined the chorus with his
metrical opinion that:
"All things must change
To something new, to something strange"
None of the bards, however appears to
have thought through" to the inevitable
conclusion. Seeing clearly enough, they
should have glimpsed the fact that
change itself is constant. 1t follows that
there is nothing either final or definitive
about mutation except stability! The
cosnic pendulum swings to the right,
then to the left: so much is conceded.
What has not been adequately appre-
ciated is the sober truth that its norm
is the central point of its sweep. In its
CSdcSiCSo JUtlIltSy llOill Ollc cAtlctic W
the other, it pauses midway for a mo-
ment. And that brief halt represents
principle-the essential verify; the con-
tradiction of change.
The poor, bewidered human family,
then, has a measuring stick ready to,
hand. Let it be applied to any event,
any trend, any accident, any personality
in all the turmoil and confusion of cur
rent existence, and the mystery will be
solved. Nothing can shake the stars, two
and two always make four, everything is
balanced and compensated, the universe.
is safe. Revolutionaries will not under
stand the manifest generality; neither
will blind reactionaries. But the average
individual may-because he hears the
common drummer and marches to the
rhythm of the mighty multitude.

Those who have trees around their
homes should keep on the watch these
evenings and mornings for migrating
song birds on their way South
There will be great twittering as the
various warblers settle down for a
nights rest, and as they resume on the
morrow.
The theory that most migrating birds
fly at night must be taken with modifi-
cations.
1t is early, yet; cold weather is some
what far away.
Hence flocks of birds decide to stay in
a particular locality, at times. lodging
for the night in appropriate trees and
evergreens.
Thus they break the journey into sew
eral stages, during each of which they
conduct themselves exactly as they did
when farther North.
In most cases the amateur watcher
will be unable to tell what the species
are
He should not let this worry him.
One sure way to take pleasure out of
bird watching is to worry too much
about Identification.
Knowing your species is good, if it can
be done without undue mental harass-
ment; watching and enjoying the activi-
ties of bird life is something else, and,
in some opinions, very much better
In bird observation We are watching
life. 1t is this life, as manifested be-
fore us, which is the interesting thing.
To know or not to know
AS highly important as that is, at times
it takes second place to life itself.
This is necessarily so, and he or she
who does not realize it is trying to put
the accent on the wrong thing
There is one exception, of course, that
of the professional bird student, or orni-
thologist. But we are not concerned with
this highly necessary person here. He
will have his own journals and papers,
and his own standards and methods,
most of them concerned with his pro-
feSSional pursuits.
The amateur bird watcher Is in a
different category.
For him or her to miss the sheer Joy
of bird life is to miss it all.
Far better is it to call a song sparrow
an English sparrow, and at the same
time enjoy the song, than to know each
bird scientifically and at the same time
totally miss the picturesque sides OF the
existence of these creatures.
The amateur watcher needs as much
science, perhaps, as he can master easily
and no more, which is just another way
of saying that he need not concern him.
self too definitely with Latin names and
the like.
If he enjoys them, good; If he finds
them bore, let him give them over
with no regret.
The housewife at her kitchen window
has as much right to watch the birds as
the greatest scientist.
Her knowledge of the songsters may
be great, in its way, filled with definite
appreciation Of them as regards song,
beauty and activity.
X
These may be enough.
1t is far better to spot the flock of

The journey,

The Journey.
Travelin' in the sunshine bright,
Travelin' in the rain,
Travelin' where the worlds all right
Or where the folks complain,
Some times the way is pleasant,
Some times the road is rough
But we're going strong at present,
And that's happiness enough.
Travelin' to the region
Where kindness extends
Our enmities were legion.
We're travelin' to our friends.
We know that we're improvin'.
So we're stickin' to the track.
We're happy to keep movin'
With no thought of turnin' back.

A Rhyme at Twilight

Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Ease at Even

Ease at Even
Sultry the high noon. All the rivulets
Run at slow pace, less gay their tink-

Flowers droop heavily. Birds drowss.
A throng
OF buzzing insects all the hot air frets.
Gray spiders crawl the dusty weeds
among,
Weaving with patient skill their gauzy
nets.
But at the eventide wet pearls OF dew
Water the thirsty flowers. A cooling
breeze
Blows from the West. Birds In tho
freshened trees
Chant vesper hymns. Skies are deepe1
blue.
The nightfall shadows weary, nm.

And mans responsive spirit Yssts snev.

known by many here. The editorial
follows:
HIS WORK ENDED and that
we'll done, DR.. p H. Fleming has pass
ed on to his reward to leave vacancy
in the field of Christian teaching,
Christian missions, Christian living
His long service in the ministry
was his love of that service, his be-
lief in the Divinity; his knowledge
that people needed to know more of
and about God promoted him always
to serve we'll where he believed he
could serve best
During his work in the field of
education, in the field of public well
fare, DR.. Fleming held true allegiance
to the Church and after giving up
his pastorate at the First Church, he
labored among rural Churches and
answered the call whenever it came
to fill the pulpit for others.
HE was a man who observed no
hours when duty called him; to visit
the sick, to minister to the needy, to
care for the under-privileged children,
undernourished, ill or crippled.
Few men, perhaps, ever knew the
tragic side of life as he knew it in
his work: his missions as welfare SUI
perintendent was one carrying him
always to the hearthstone of those
who through some stroke of misfor-
tune were without food, clothing,
medicine and sunk in the dispair
