BROOKLYN, June 25, 1893.—Rev.
,
Talmage this morning chose for the sub-
ject of his sermon "The Song of Birds."
This, like many of his sermons, is suited
to the season of the _year in which it is
preached. It is well fitted to be read
under the trees, and has in it the health
of out -door life. Text: Psalms 104; 12,
By them shall the fowls of the air have
their habitation, which sing among the
branches.
There is animproving subject to which
most people have given no thought, and
concerning which this is the first pulpit
discussion, namely, the Song of Birds.
If all that has been written concerning
music by human voice or about music
sounded on instrument by finger or
breath were put together, volume by the
side of volume it would fill a hundred
alcoves of the, national libraries. But
above the song of birds there is as much
silence as though, a thousand years ago,
the last lark had, with his wing, swept
the door latch of headren and as though
never a whip-po(r-will lied sungits lul-
laby to a slumbering forest at nightfall.
We give a passing smile to the call of a
bobolink or the Chirp of a canary, but
about the origin, about the fibre, about
the meaning, about the mirth, about the
pathos, about the inspiration, about the
religion in the song of birds, the most of
us are either ignerant or indifferent. A
-.caveat I this miming file in the High
Court of Heavemagamst this almosteini-
versal irreligion. !
First, I remark that which will sur-
prise many,- thatithe song of birds is a
regulated and syStematic song, capable
of being written out in not and staff and
bar and cleff as Much as anything that
Wagner or Schilmann or Handel ever
put on paper. As we pass the grove ,
where the flocks are holding matin or
vesper service, we are apt to think that
the seunds are extemporized, the rising
or falling tone is mere accident, it is
flung up and down by haphazard, the
bird -did not know what it was doing, it
did not. care Whether it was long
metre psalm or madrigal. What a mis-
take! The musician never put on the
music rack before him Mendelssohn's
"Elijah" or Beethoven's "Concerto" in
G or Spohr's. B fiatSymphony with more
definite -idea as tee what he was doing
than every bird that can sing at all con-
fines himself to aceurate and predeter-
mined tendering. The oratorios, tho
chants, the carols,the overtures. the in-
terludes, the ballads, the canticles that
this morning were heard or will this
evening be heard in the forest have roll-
ed dOwn through the gates without a
variation.:Even the chipmunk's song was
ordained clear back 1 in the eternities.
At the gates of paradise, it sang in
sounds like the syllables "Kuk!" "Kuk!"
"Kuk!" just as this merning in a Long
Island orchard it sang "Kuk!" "Kuk!'
"Kuk!" The thrushd at the creation
uttered sounds like the word "Teacher!"
"Teacher!" "Teacher!" as now it utters
sounds like "Teacher!" "Teacher!"
"Teacher!" In the Summer of the
year one, the yellow -hammer thrilled
that which sounded like the word "If!"
"If!" "If!" as in this Sommer it trills
"If!" "If!" "If!" The Maryland Yellow
Throat inherits and bequeaths the tune
sounding like the words 'Pity MC, pity
me, pity me," The White Sparrow's
“Tseep, tseep," woke our great grand-
fathers as it will awaken our . great
grandchildren. The "Tee-ka-tee-kalee-
ka', or the birds in the first century was
the same as the "Tee-ka-tee-ka-tee-ka"
of the nineteenth century.,
The egoldfinch has .for six thousand
years been singing "De -res dee-ee-ree."
But these sounds, which we put in harsh
. words, they pur in eadencels, rhythmic,
soulful and enrapturing.Now, if there
is this order and systematizaion and
rhythm all through God's creation, does
it not imply that we should. have the
same characteristics in the music -.we
make or try to make? Is it not a wicked-
ness that so many parents 1 give no op-
portunity for the culture of 1 the children
in the art of sweet sound? if God stoops
to educate every bluebird, oriole and
grosbeak in song, how can parents be so
indifferent about the musical develop-
ment of the immortals in their house-
hold? While God will accept our at-
tempts to sing, though it be Only a hum
or a drone, if we can do no better,
what a shame that, in this last decade
of the nineteenth century, when so
inauy orchestral batons are waving, and
so many academies of musk!, are in full
concert, and so many skilled men and
women are waiting to offer instruction,
there are so many people Who cannot
sing with any confidence in the house <
of God, because they hahe had no
,culture in this sacred art; or, while
they are able to sing a fantasia at a
piano amid the fluttering fates of social
admirers, nevertheless feel utterly help,
less when, in church, . the Surges of an
Ariel or an Antioch roll over them. The
old-fashioned country singing school,
now much ,derided and caricatured (and
indeed sometimes it was diaerted from
the reel design into the culture of the
soft emotions rather than the voice),
nevertheless did admirable work, and in
our churches we need singing schools to
prepare our Sabbath audiences - for
prompt and spontaneous and multipotent
psalmody. This world needs to be
stormed with hallelujahs. We want A
hemispheric campaign of 1 hosannalis.
From hearing a blind beggar sing. !Aar -
tin Luther went home at forty years of
age to write his first hymn. In the
autumn, I hope to have a congregation-
al singing school here during the week,
which shall prepare the people for the
songs of the holy Sabbath. If the
church of God universah is going to
take this world for righteousness, there
must be addee a hundred -fold of more
harmony as well as a hundred -fold of
more volume to sacred musi8.
Further, I notice in the song of birds
that it is a divinely taught song. The
rarest prima donna of all the earth
could not teach the robin one mueical,
note. A kingfisher, flying; over the roof
of a temple; aquake with harmonies,
would not -catch up one .nielody. From
thd time that the first bird's throat was
fasldoned on the banks Of the Gihon
and Hiddekel until to -day km. the Hud-
son or.Rhine, the winged creature has
learned nothing from the: human race
in i..e way of carol or anthem. The.
feathered songsters learned ,all their
lii11:;IC direct from God. He gave them
tile art in a nest of straw or moss or
siici,aud taught them how to lift that
song into the higher lieavensandsprinklir

thyst. Songs like that which Pao
mended to the Colossians, when h
"Admonish one another in psalm
hymns and epiritual songs, singing; with
grace in your hearts, to the Lord." Songs
like Moses sang after the tragedy elf the
d Sea. Songs like Deborah and Barak
ang at the oveethrow of Sisera. iiongs
like Isaiah heard the redeemed sing as
they came to Zion. Oh' God, teach. us
that kind of song whichthou only eanst
teach, and help us to sing it on earth
and sing it in heaven. It was the high-
est result of sweet 'sound when uader
the playing of Paganini one auditor ex-
claimed reverently, "Oh,, God !" =ciao -
other sobbed Christ!"
Further, I remark in regard to the
Ong of the birds, that it is trustful, and
Without any fear of what may yet come.
Will you tell me how it is possible for
that wren, that sparrow, that chickadee,
to sing so sweetly when they may any
time be pounced on by a hawk and
torn wing from wing? There are cruel
beaks in thicket and the sky ready to
slay the song birds. Herods on the
wing, Modocs of the sky. Assassins
armed with iron claw. For every bird,
a, thousand perilsand disasters hovering
and sweeping round and round. Yet,
tire it sings, and it is a trustful song.
The bird that has it the hardest, sings
the sweetest. The lark, from the shape
of her claw, may not perch on a tree.
In the grass her nest Is exposed to every
hoof that passes. One of the poorest
shelters of all the earth is the lark's nest.
If she sings at.all, you will expect her
to render the saddest of threnodies.
No, no. She sings exultingly an hour
without a pause, and mounting three
thousand feet without losine a note.
Would,God we all might learn tne
lesson. Whatever 'perils, whatever
bereavements, whatever trials are yet to
come, sing, sing with all your heart and
sing with all your lungs. If you wait
until all the hawks of trouble have fold-
ed their wings and all the hunters of
hate have unloaded tau. e guns aud all
the hurricanes of disaster have spent
their fury, you will never sing at all.
David, the pursued of Absalom, and the
betrayed Of Ahithophel, and the depleted
of "Sores that ran in the night," presents
us the best songs of the Bible. John
Milton, not able to see his hand before
his face, sings for us the most famous
poem of all literature, and some of the
most cheerful people I have ever met
have been Christian people under physi-
cal, or domestic, or public torment. The
eongs of Charles Wesley, which we now
calmly sing in charch, were composed
by him betweeti
Further, I notice that the song of birds
is a family song. Even those of the
feathered throngs which have no song at
all, make what utterances they do in
sounds of their own family of birds. The
hoot of the owl, the clatter of the mag-
pie, tho crow of the chanticleer, the
drumming of the grouse, the laugh of
the loon in the Adirondacks, the cackle
of the hen, the scream of the eagle, the
croak of the raven, are sounds belonging
to each particular family; but when you
come to those which have real songs
how sugges ive that it is always a family
song, All the skylarks, 'all the nightin-
gales, all the goldfinches, all the blsck-
birds, all the cockoos, prefer the song of
their own family and never sing any-
thing else. So the most deeply impres-
sive songs we ever sing are family songs.
They have come down from generation
to generation. You were sung to sleep
in your infancy and childhood by songs
that will sing in your soul forever. Oh,
those family songs! The songs that
-father sang, that mother sang, that sis-
ters and brothers sang. They roll on us
to -day with a reminiscence that fills the
throat, as well as the heart, witn emo-
tion. In our house in my childhood it
was always a religious song. I do not
think that the old folks knew anything
but religious songs; at any rate, I never
heard them sing anything else. It was
"Jesus, lover of my soul," or "Rock of
ages," or "There is a fountain filled with
blood," or "Mary to the Saviour's tomb."
Mothers, be careful what you sing your
children to sleep With. -Let it be nothing
frivolous or silly. Better have in it
something of Christ and heaven. Better
have in it something that will help that
boy thirty years from now to bear up
under the bombardment of temptation.
Better have in it something that will
help that daughter thirty years from now
whenupon her comes the cares of
motherhood and the agonies of bereave-
ment and the brutal treatment of one who
swore before the high heaven that he
would cherish and protect. Do not waste
the lifst hour for making an impression
upon your little one, the hour of dusk,
the beach between the day and night.
Sing not a doleful song, but a sug-
gestive song. a Christian song, a song
you will not be ashamed to. meet when
it comes to you in the eternal destiny of
your son and daughter. The oriole has
a loud song, and the chewink a long
song, and the bluebird a short song, but
it is always a family song, and let your
gloaming song to your children'whether
loud or long or short, be a Christian
song. These family ,songs are about all
we keep of the old homestead. The
house where you were born will go into
the hands of strangers. The garments
that were carefully kept as relics will
become moth-eaten. The family Bible
can go into the possession of only
one of the family. The lock of gray
-hair may not be lost from the locket,
and in a few years all signs and
mementoes of the old homestead will be
gone forever. But the family songs,
those that we heard at two years of age,
at five years of age, at ten years of' age,
will be indestructible, and at forty or
fifty or sixty or seventy years of age
will give us a mighty boost over some
rough place in the path of our pil-
grimage.
I preach this sermon just before many
of you will go out to pass days or
weeks in the country. Be careful how
you treat the birds. Remember they
are God's favorites, and if you offend
them, you offend him. He is so fond of
their voices that there are forests where
for a, hundred miles no human foot has
ever trod and no • human ear has ever
listened, Those interminable forests
are concert halls with only one auditor
—the Lord God Almighty. He builded
those auditoriums of leaves and sky
and supports all that infinite
minstrelsy for himself alone. Be
careful how you treat his favorite
choir. In Deuteronomy he warns
the people: "If a bird's nest happen to be
before thee in the way iu any tree, or on
the ground, whether they be young ones
or eggs, thou shalt not take the dam
with the young, that it may be well with
thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy
days." So you see your longevity is re-
lated to your treatment of birds. Then
go forth and attend the minstrelsy. Put
off startling colors, which frighten the
winged songters into silence or flight, and
put on your more sober attire. and move
noisetessty into the woo
