You come to an empty birds nest, and
pick up the down that clings to il, or
stray plume that dropped but, finding no
other trace of the birding, you say, 1t has
flown away And you come to child's

and moans in the breeze; and you say,
that bird has learned to fly! it vanishes
from its nest just as it was plumed OF
wing and clear of note.

PHILOSOPHERS tell us that every uttered
word produces vibration in the atmos-
phere; an ingenious theory has therefore

fanciful in natural philosophy; but there
is a sense in which every uttered word
lives for ever. 1t lives in its influence on
the speaker-in its influence on others.
Paul's voice echoes still millions of Gods
faithful messengers, being dead, yet
