melody in feathers, poised like a spirit, with emotion teeming from every feathered tip and forming a halo of sweet sounds. Flying seemed to add to the force of his song. Iask no chaster embodiment for new spirits of heaven coming to my bed window than this unforget- able poem, U That God Endowed With Wings. A filled capacity is magnitude. By this standard that bird was the largest I ever knew. He evidently had a strong home attachment for he was always late in getting back in the spring and must have tarried in his former nesting with a similar reluctance that kept him from leaving my window in the closing season. It was an easier, happier day that marked his return each spring time. There are rare days in nature as there are in one's life. These are of winter and sum- mer. One such day when the snow was deep and fast falling, the storm and the air were full of lullabys that soothed the spirit and made the snow the downiest of beds for one in a great coat of friendly clothure. In a grove that day were gathered thousands of birds upon tree tops akin that seemed to have caught these hints of the air and were singing in the storm for hours. The snow was falling most plentifully. It was a melting spectacle of ears with closed eyes to lie under these trees encircled by snow and covered over white by the falling elements, to listen to their indescribable carols. All food to them of earth and sky seemed snowed under and wintered over. Human ingenuity could not fortell their next meal. Some Scripture in bird lore regarding the fall of a single sparrow seemed to fortify their spirits and thrill their songs. There has an endless variety of notes, a marvelous blending of voices and a matchless inspiriting of song. They will sing in my life forever. When a man dies how sweet it would be to have birds singing all about him and how apt for some choice friend to read from Browning, I go to prove my soul! I see my way as birds their trackless way, I shall arrive! what time, what circuit first, I ask notg but unless God send his hail Or blinding fireballs, sleet or stiHing snow, In some time, his good time, I shall arrive: He guides me and the bird. In his good time! . 'v-fxrw'v -wi-1-z-C: fl, - -5 3:35, ,,,-. f ' 23
