If nil that has boon wrillen concerning music by hu man votco or about music sounded on instrument by finger. or breath wero put together, volume by tho sido of volume, it would fill a hundred alcoves of the national libraries. But about tho song of birds thero is as much silenco as though a thousand years ago tho last lark had with his wing swept tho door latch of heaven and as though never a whippoormll haa sung its lullaby to a slumbering forest at nightfall. We give a passing smile to tho call of a bobolink or the chirp of a canary, but about tho origin, about the fiber, about tho meaning, about tho mirth, about tho pathos, about tho in spiration, about tho religion in tho song of birds tho most of- us aro either igno rant or indifforent. A caveat I this morn ing file in .the high court of heaven against that almost univorsal irreligion. First, I remark that which will sur priso many, that' the song .of birds is n regulated and systematic song, capable of being written out in note and staff and bar and clef as much as anything that Wagner or Schumann or Handel ever put on paper. As wo pass tho grove where tho flocks aro holding matin or veBper servico wo are apt to think that tho sounds aro extemporized, the rising or falling tone is a mere accident, it is flung up and down by haphazard, tho bird did not know what it was doing, it did not care whether it was a long meter psalm or a madrigal. What a mistake 1 The musician never put on the musio rack before him Mendelssohn's "Elijah" or Beethoven's "Concerto" in Q or Spohr's B fiat symphony with moro def inite idea as to what he was doing than every bird that can sing at all confines himself to accurate and predetermined rondering. Tho oratorios, the chants, the carols, tho overtures, the interludes, tho ballads, the canticles that this morn ing were heard or will this evening be heard in tho forest have rolled down through the ages without a variation. Even the chipmunk's song was ordained clear .back in, the eternities. At the gates of paradise it sang 'in sounds like the syllables "Kuki" "Kuk!" "KukI" just as this morning in a Long Island or chard it sang ",Kuk!" "Kuk!" "Kuki" The thrush at tho creation uttered sounds like tho word "Teacher 1" "Teach erl" "Teacherl" as now it utters sounds liko "Teacherl" "Teacherl" "Teacherl" In the summer of tho year 1 the yel lawhamnier trilled that which sounded like "If 1"' Ifl" "If t" as in this summpr tttrills "If I" "If I" "Ifl" The Maryland yellowthroat inherits and bequeaths the tune sounding liko the words "Pity me, pity mo, pity met" Tho whit sparrow's "Tseep, tseep" woke our great grandfa thers as it will awaken our great grand children. Tho "Teo-Jca-te-ka:tee-ka" of the birds in the lirst century was tho same as tho "Tce-ka-tee-ka-tee-ka" of tho nineteenth century. nature's unchanging bono. Tho goldfinch has for O.OPQ years been singing "De-ree-deo-ee-ree." But these sounds, which we put in harsh words, they put in cadences, rhythmic, soulful ,and enrapturing. Now if thero is this order and systematization and rhythm all through God's creatiou does it not imply that wo should havo the same characteristics in the music wo mako or try to make? Is it not a wickedness that bo many parents givo no opportunity for the culture of their children in tho art of sweet sound? If God stoops to edu cate every bluebird, oriolo and grosbeak in song, how can parents be bo indiffer ent about the musical development of tho immortals in their household? While God will accept our attempts to sing, though it bo only a hum or a drone, if we can do no better, what a shamo thai in this lost decade of the nineteenth cen tury, when so many orchestral batons aro waving and so many academies of rausio are in full concert, and so many skilled men and women are waiting to offer instruction there are so many peo ple who cannot sing with any confidence in the house of God because they have had no culture in this sacred art, or whilo they are able to sing a fantasia at a piano amid the fluttering fans 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 diverted torn the real design into tho culture of the soft emotions rather than tho voice), nevertheless did admirable work, and in our churches we need singing schools to prepare our Sabbath audiences for prompt and spontaneous and raultipo tont psalmody. This world needs tope stormed with halleluiahs. We want a hemispheric campaign of hosannas. Jfrom bearing a blind beggar sing Martin Luther went hqrneat 40 years of age to write bin first hymn. In the autumn I hope to have a congrega tional tdnging school here during the week which shall prepare the people for the songs pf the boly Sabbath.

From tlm time Hint tho first bird's throat was fashioned on tho banks of tho 01 lion nnd Illddekol ttntll today on tho Hudson or Ithlno tho winged creature Iias lenmed nothing from tho human race In tho way of enrol or anthem. Tho fenthcred songsters lrnirncd all their mnslo direct from God. Ho gavo them tho art In a nest pf straw or moss or sticks and tnught thorn how to lift that song into tho higher heavens nnd sprinkle tho earth with its dulcet eiw chantments. God fashioned, God tuned, God launched, God lifted musio 1 And thero Is n kind of mnsio that tho Lord only can Impart to you, my hearer. Thero hnvo been dopraved, reprobate and blasphemous souls which could sing till great auditoriums wero in raptures. There havo been soloists and bassos and baritones and sopranos whose brilliancy in concert halls' has not bcon moro fa mous than their debaucheries. But there is a kind of song which, liko the song of birds, is divinely fashioned. Songs of pardon. Songs of divine com fort. SongR of worship. "Songs in tho night," liko those which David and Job mentioned. Songs full of faith nnd ten derness and prayer, liko those which tho Christian mother sings over the sick cra dle. Songs of a broken heart being healed. Songs of tho dying flashed upon by opening portals of amethyst. Songs liko that which Paul com mended to tho Colossians when he said, "Admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing, with grace in your hearts, to the Lord." Songs liko M03CS sang after the tragedy of tho Red sea, songs like Doborah and Barak sang nt tho overthrow of Sisera, songs like Ibaiah heard tho redeemed sing as he came to Zion. Oh, God, teach us that kind of song which thou only canst teach and help us to sing it on earth and sing it in heaven. It was the high est result of sweet sound when under the playing of P.iganini one auditor ex claimed reverently, "Oh, God!" and an other sobbed out, "Oh, Christ!" Further, I remark in regard to the song of birds that it is trustful and without any fear of what may yot come. Will you tell mo how it is possible for that wren, that sparrow, that chickadee, to sing so sweetly when they may any time bo pounced on by a hawk and torn wjng from wing? There are cruel beaks in thicket and in sky ready to slay the songbirds. Herods on tho wing. Mo docs of the sky. Assassins armed with iron claw. Murderers of song floating up and down the heavens. How can the birds Bing amid such perils? Besides that, how is the bird sure to get its f pod? Mil lions of birds have been starved. Yet it sings in tho dawn without any certainty of breakfast or dinner or supper. Would it not bo better to gather its food for the day before vocalizing? Besides that, the hunters aro abroad. Bang! goes a gun in one direction. Bang! goes a gun in another direction. The song will attract the shot and add to the peril. Besides that, yonder is a thun dercloud, and thero may be hurricane and hail to be let loose, and what then will become of you, the poor warbler? Besides that, winter will come, and it may be smitten down before it gets to the tropics. Have you never seen the snow strewn with tho birds belated in thejr migration? The titmquso mirjglgg is voice with the snowstorms as Emer son describes the little thing ho, found in tempestuous January: Here was tills atom In fall breath, Hurling defiance at vast death; This scrap of valor, just for play. Fronts the north wind In waistcoat gray. v ,B0NQ3 OP TOPE AND TRUST. For every bird a thousand perils nnd disasters hovering and sweeping round and round. Yet there it sings, and it is a trustful song. Tho bird that has it tho I hardest sings tho sweetest. Tho lark I from tho shape of her claws may not perch on a tree. In tho grass her nest is j exposed to every hoof that passes. Ono of the poorest shelters of all the earth is tho lark's nest. If she Binge nt all, you will expect her to render tho saddest of threnodies. No, no. She sings exultingly an hour without a pauso nud mounting 3,000 feet without losing a note. God wo all might learn tho Would j lesson, Whatever perils, whatever bereavements, whatever trials aro yet to come, cing, Bing with all your heart and Bing with all your lungs. If you wait until all tho hawks of trouble havo folded their wings and nil the hunters of hate have unloaded their guns and all tho hurricanes of disaster -have spent their fury, you will never sing at all. David, the pursued of Absalom and the betrayed of Ahithophel and tho depleted of "sores that ran in tho night," presents us the best songs of the Bible. John Milton, not able to see his hand be fore his face, sings for us tho most fa mous poem of all literature, and somo of tho most cheerfpl people I have ever met have been Christian people under phys ical pr domestic or public torment. The sopgs. of Charles Wesley, which we now calmly sing in church, were composed by him between mobs. Further, in tho sky galleries there aro songs adapted to all moods. The mead ow lark is mournful, and the goldfinch Joyous, and tho grosbeak prolonged of noto. But tqe libretto of nature is vo luminous. Are you sod? You can hear from the bowers the echo of vonr erief. I Are vou ulad? You can henr an echo of i your nappmess. Are you thoughtful! You can hear that which will plunge you into deeper profound. Are yon weary? You may catch a restful air. So tho songs of birds are administrative in all circumstances. Ana we would do well to. have a bymnplogy for all changes of condition. You may sing your woea Into peace and rouse your Joys into greater altitudes. Upon every condition of body nueuu mo ,"'- "" "n. and soul, let us try the power of song, colors, which frighten the winged Bong The multitudinous utterances of grove eters into silence or flight, and put on and orchard and garden ud forest W.rmeoto aWre aaoUa.

But whon you cotno to thoio which havo rent songs, how suggestive that 1' It al ways a family song! All tho skylarks, all tho nightingales, all tho goldfinches, all tho blackbirds, nil tho cuckoos, pre fer tho song of their own family nnd never sing anything else. So tho most deeply imprcssivo songs wo over sing nro family songs. Thoy havo cotno down from generation to generation. You wero sung to sleep in your infancy nnd childhood by songs that will sing in your soul forover. Whore was it, my brother or sister, that you heard tho family song on tho banks of tho Ohio, or tho Alabama, or tho Androscoggin, or tho Connecticut, or tho Tweed, or tho Thames, or tho Itarltan? That song at eventide, when you wero tired out indeed too tired to sleep, and you cried with leg acho, and you wero rocked nnd sung o Bleep you bear it now, tho soft voice from sweet lips, sho as tired, perhaps more tired than you, but sho rockod, and you slum bered. Oh, thoso family songs! Tho songs that father sang, that moth er sang, that sisters and brothers Bang. Thoy roll on us today with a reminis cence that fills tho throat as well as the heart with emotion. 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 fate I never heard them sing anything lse. It was "Jesus, Lover of My Soul,'" or "Rock of Ages," or "There Is a Foun tain Filled With Blood," or "Mary to tho paviour's Tomb." Mothers, bo careful what you sing your children to sleep with. Lot it he nothing frivolous or Bettor havo in it something of Christ and heaven. Better havo in it something that will help that boy 80 years from now to bear up under the bombardment of temptation. Better have in it some thing that will help that daughter 80 years from now when upon her come the cares of motherhood and the agonies pf bereavement and the brutal treatment of one who sworo before high heaven that he would cherish and protect. Do ,not waste tho best hour for making an impression upon your little one, the hour of dusk, the beach between tho day and tho night. Sing not a doleful song, hut ,a suggestive song, a Christian song, a iSong you will not bo ashamed to meet when it coines to you in the eternal des tiny of your son and daughter. The ori olo has a loud song, and the chowink a long song, and tho 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, bo a Christian song. These family songs are about all we keep of the old homestead. Tho houso where you were born will go into the hands of strangers. The garmonts that were carefully kept as relics will become moth eaten, i The family Bible can go into tho possession of only ono of the family. Tho lock of gray hair may "be lost from tho lqcket, and in a few years all signs and mementoes of tho old home stead will be gone forever. But tho family songs, those thqt we heard at 2 years qf age, at 0 years of oge. at 1Q years of ago, will bo indestructible nnd nt 40 or CO or 60 or 70 years of age willi givo us a mighty boost over somo rough placo in the path of our pilgrimage. THE LOST RESTORED BY SONQ. Many years ago a group of white chil dren wero captured and carried off by tho Indians. Years after, a mother who had lost two children in that capturo, went among tho Indians, and there were many white children in line, but so long a time had passed tho mother could not tell Which were hers until she began 'to sing tho old nursery song, and her two children immediately rnshed up, shout- ing, "Mamma!" "Mamma!" Yes, tfaero is an immortality in h nursery sdng. Hoar it, all you mothers, an immortality of power to rescuo and save. What an occasion that must have been in Washington, Dec. 17, 18.J0, when I Jenny Lind sang "Home, Sweot Home," the author of thoso words, John Howard fayne, seaieu ueioio nor. suo nau ren dered her other favorite songs, "Casta Diva" nnd her "Flute Song," with fine effect, but when she struck "Honio, Sweet Home," Jolin Howard Payne rose under the power, and President Fillmore and Henry Clay and Daniel Websternnd the wholo uudienco rose with him. Any tliing connected with homo ransacks our entire nature with a holy power, and songs that get well started in tho nur sery or by the family hearth roll on after the lips that sung them aro forever silent and the ears tlmt first heard them for over cease to hoar. I preach this sermon just before many of you will go out to pass days or weeks in Jhe 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. Ho builded those audi toriums of leaves and sky and supports all that infinite minstrelsy for himself alone- Be careful hqw you treat his fa- vorite choir. In Deuteronomy bo warns tho people, "If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in 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 bo well with thee and that thou mayest prolong thy days," So you see your own longevity is related to your treatment of birds.

TUB SEASON TO BTODT NATURE. Whilo this summer moro than usual out of doors let us have what my text suggests, on out of doors religion. Whnt business had David, with all the advan tages of costly religious service and smoking inconso on tho altar, to bo lis tening to the chantresscs among the tree branches? Ah! ho wanted to mako him solf and all who should como after him moro alert and moro worshipful amid tho sweet Bounds and beautiful Bights of tho natural world. Tiiero is an old church that needs to be rededicated. It is older than St. Paul's or St. Peter's or St. Mark's or St. Sophia's or St. Isaac's. It is the cathedral of nature. That is tho church in whioh tho services of the millennium vrill beheld. Tho buildings fashioned out of stoho and brick and mortar will not hold tho people. Again the mount of Olives will bo tho pulpit. Again tho Jordan will be tho baptistry. Again the mountains will bo tho galleries. Again tho skies will be thobluo ceiling. Again tho sunrise will ho tho front door and tho sunset tho back door of that templo. Again the clouds will bo tho upholstery and the morning mist tho incense. Again tho trees will bo tho organ loft where "the fowls of heaven havo their habitation, which sing among ,tho branches.' St. Francis d'Assisi preached a sermon to birds and pronounced a benediction upon them, but all birds preach to us, and (their benediction is almost supernal. Whilo this summer amid the works of God lot us learn responsiveness. Surely 'if we cannot sing wo can hum a tune, and if wo cannot hum a tune we can whistle. If we cannot bo an oriole, we can bo a quail. In some way let us dem onstrate our gratitude to God. Let us not bo beaten by the chimney swallow, and tho humming bird, and tho brown thrasher. Let us try to set everything in our life to music, and if wo cannot givo tho carol of the song sparrow take' the plaint of tho hermit thrush. Let our life bo an nnthem of worship to the I God who crentcd us, nnd tho Christ who ransomed us, and tho Holy Ghost who sanctifies us. And our last song! May it bo our be3t songl Tho swan was I thought by the ancionta nover to sing .excent when dying. 1 In the time of Edward IV no ono was' allowed to own a swan except ho were a king's son or had considerable estate. ' Through 100 or 200 years of lif o that bird ,was said nover to utter anything like music until its Inst moment came, and then lifting its crested beauty it would pour forth a song of almost matchless thrill, resounding through tho groves. And bo, although tho struggles of lifo maybe too much for us and wo may find It hard to Bing at all, whon tho last hour pomes to you and me, may there bo a radiance from above and a glory Bot tling round that shall enable us to utter a song on tho wings of which wo Bhall mount to whero the musio nover ceases and the raptures never dlo. "What Js that, mother?" "The swan, my love.; He Is floating down from his native erove. Ho lovod one, no nestling nigh He Is floating down by hlmsolf to die. I)oalh darkens lili eye and unplumes his wings, Yet tho sweetest song Is tho last ho sings. Live so, my child, that when death shall come, Swanlilce and sweet, it may waft theo home!"
