EAGLE PROTECTS HIS YOUNG. But, though the eagle is a coward- ly bird in refereace to his own life, no sooner does he becoixte a parent bean he is transformed into a dar- iog, valiant protector of his young. No sooner are the dull white colored eggs deposited in the nest which the twain have beaded uponthe tops of the dizzy heights, or 'upon the ledge of a precipice, than the: parent birds are ready to protect those nests at any cost. Yes, yes; parental affection trans- forms the craven bird into a fierce, intrepid champion, capable of sublime self sacrifice itt defense of its off - it will not only willingly, but alter awhile gladly, obey what the mother and father bird teach it to do. First conies fear, then trust, then the at- tempt to imitate and. to do as the parent bird does. AN OBJECT LESSON. Rave you and I ever stopped to fully consider how Christ's earthly life was meant to be an object les- son for sinful men, as the flapping wings of the old eagles are meant to be visible object lessons to teach the young eagles how to flei God did not tell us how to be good merely in the abstract, -but lie tells us to be good as Jesus Christ was good, be- cause Christ was born bone of our bono and flesh of our fle,sli and suffer - spring. Yet in our text we find ed as we suffer and was tempted as him, in spite of that tender affection, we are tempted. Thus Christ's life disturbing the young birds and tuira is an object lesson to us in all our ing them out of their home. What does the .Bible mean by comparing this strange conduct with God's pro- vidential dealing? Why does God, as a loving Father, treat his child- ren in this seemingly rougli way as the eagle bird pushes her offspring? For you must remember that we do trial. We must do as he would do if he were in our place. But there is still another lesson to be learned froiu the old eagle stirring up her nest. She pushes out her young in order to make room for the next betch of fledgelings. If she did not do this there would be only one not have to go entirely to this figure !wood hatched out in the nest. Theis of the eagle bird to bc taught the eagle's offspring would only consist lessons that 0 od's hand sometimes smiles a loving blow, as well as of two or throe or four young. But gives a loving caress. In the epistle leo sooner does the old eagle finish iraising one family than. she prepares to the Hebrews we are taught that chastisement is one of the proofs to raise another batch of fledgelings.

The eaglet has to learn what it can- not do as well as what it can do It must be taught in one sense how to depend upon ,itself; it must be taught in another sense how it must depend upon the parent bird. The Bible in the beautiful figure of my text pictures the old eagle, when the right tittle comes, stirring up the neat and pushing her young off the cliff. Oh, yes, that is beautiful, but the next statement of the verse is :hist as beautiful. When the young bird drops down and down and the . fluttering wings grow weaker and weaker, then the fledgeling gives a faint, frightened call for help. Then what happens? Why, the old bird at once 'starts to the rescue. Swifter than any sea gull ever dropped into the waters to clutch a fish, swifter • than ever a hawk pee:need upon a chicken in the barnyard, the old mother bird , starts to save her young. How? She swoops down be- low the flattering eaglet and, rising Svith outstretched wino, receives it on the shotalders and bears it aloft into safety. Is not this a beauti- ful symbol of God's care for his children? The ptahnist says, "He oralketh upon the wings of the wind." Yes; that is like the eagle. Ile pushes 'us off the nest, but he does not leave tis to perish. He is near,and lanai:math us are the ever- lasting arms. When we are losing our strength and cry to him, he bears us up.

Theodore L. Clavier, the grand olci man of the Brooklyn pulpit, graphically described a. scene ebich 1 ba. e carried in my memory for many years. • A peasant living eport the mountain side was on his way home in the evenieg hour. Tired after nt hard dey's work, he turned to look down the valley which as a panorama stretched away ,at his feet. Suddenly he saw a rnighty winged eagle begin to lift itself from a dittant cliff. Higher and higher it rose, gorgeous amid the fires of the setting sun. Suddenly its nme-ementa became labored. It struggled and fought in 'midair and seemed to be gasping for breath, First ono wing became helpless, then the SdcOnd Then the huge bird, like a stone, shot through the air and fell dead almost at the peaeast's feet, The peaestat could not understand the causrt utitil he event to the side of the bird a.nnsi picked up the still warm corpse. Mich to his horror there evriegled from between his fingers a tiny serpent that liad fastened itself under the bird's wing and sucked the life out of the "monarch of the per." So sin as a venomous, clinging ger- pent, tries to fasteu itself upon us.
