uk gnpojcalljf described under the
llOllUtUdfl of the lugle ami Its young.
'Hie text is Deuteronomy xxxii, n, "As
the aagtS Ktirretb Dp her nest."
Tin' war goddess has crowned the pa
gle "monarch of the air." His throne
is the Inaccessible cliff, his diadem the
noontide sun, his footstool the morn
Ins clouds, Ills playground the rsst ex
panse of Infinite spare. Mis keenness
of eye, boldness of Sight, sharpness of
claw, merciless destructii eness of beak,
eaose him to ie dreaded in mountain
ou lands, as the huge jaws and pow
erful c laws of the lion cause him to be
dreaded in the African forests,
Hut. though the eagle has been called
the monarch of the air, as the lion has
been called the monarch of the fields,
jet the eagle, like the lion, never had
royal pedigree, By that word "royal"
I mean a noble, brave and fearless an
cestry. The eagle is not of heroic
mold. He is a cringing, fawning, eon
tempttflje coward. Though he u a
raptorial bird and loves to banquel off
the Qlltverlng llesli of newly slain
carcass, thi' blood which floTVI through
his own arteries Is pumped from a cra
ven heart. In terror this mighty wing
ed tiler will tlee before the little king
bird, hardly larger than a betlwurred
English sparrow. Confined In a cage
with a small barnyard fowl, the do
mestic bird has been known to make
the eagle bee fur mercy iis a school
i.ird bully will whine before an out
raged youth half his size.
Many reputations are undeserved al
together1;" once wrote an observant
naturalist. "Let us not In this eon
uectton trouble now about statesmen,
poets or AUthorU, but take from natural
history a familiar Illustration, that of
the eagle, Tin- great strength of the
eagle enables it to prey upon creatures
that have no power of defending them
selves from his terrible swoop, but we
must not allow ourselves on this ac
count, as oar fathers did, to magnify
him into a type of magnanimity and
courage. In true courage he Is not
superior to most uf the smaller hawks,
and certainly Inferior to the falcons,
which will drive away this so called
monarch uf th,' air' when he sp
preaches too near their nests. So that,
really, when we remember what a
fame the eagle h:is always had fur
magnanimity and for courage, it is
obviOUS, In view of the facts, that lie.
Use many other birds and men. has
obtained a reputation which is undo
served."
I.auli' Protect His Vomit;.
Hut. though the eagle is a cowardly
bird in reference to his own life, no
sooner does he become a parent than
he is transformed Into a daring, vallanl
protector of his young. So sooner an
the dull white colored eirgs deposited
li: the nest which the twain have build
Ml Upon the tops of the dizzy heights.
Of upon the ledge of n precipice, than
Hie parent birds are ready to protect
those nests at any cost. I remember
years ago seeing a powerful picture
culled "Tin' One Strand." A moun
taineer of the farofl northeast had
been lowered over the Bide of u cliff to
rob an eagles' nest of Its eggs. No
sooner was be lowered by n rope over
tlie cliff and dangling in midair, with
the surging aea hundreds of feel be
neath him beating its graves apon the
Jagged neks, than the lather mid
mother birds saw the would be de
stroyer of their home. '1 hey Started
for their enemy. Ave, it was a royal
buttle a battle for life. The eagles
were circling about his head. The
sturdy mountaineer was swinging his
knife round and round over his bead.
Hut once he swung the knife too far.
The keen edge of tl,e blade cut the
rope, all but one strand. With borrof
Stricken eyes he saw that strand grad
uaiiy unraveling. The whole scene
was a realistically portrayed that I
could tlnwal heir the triumphant
screams of the parental birds as their
human enemy was about to be dashed
Upon the rocks belou .

chilil Some few weeks ago I was vis
iting apon the ranch of a wealthy man
in California. He turned and said to
me: "No young man ever amounts to
anything unless he is compelled to
work for his own mental and physical
and spiritual development. So Brmiy
do I believe it is the mountain upon
the man and not the nam upon the
mountain that brings man to the high
est development for which (led intend

to work for every cent they have re
ceived, even when they were little chil
dren. I never give them anything
Without a return. If they want Spend
ing money they must earn It by paint
ing the fences or Cutting the wood or
gathering the walnut-. Il they want
a gun or a riding horse they must buy
It w ith their own .money which ihey
have earned. I have not told them that
each year .fhey have an Ss.iniii Income,
which was left them by a dead rela
tive, and that at twenty one years of
age they will be Independently rich.
I know that knowledge would ruin
them. I make them work for every
cent they spend. In their working 1
am developing two of the finest boys
In all this part of the country."
Thm Dead Henri Led 0.
That earthly parent Is developing his
children by work. Cannot we realize
;.m1 is developing us spiritually, men
tally and physically by work, and hard
work? Why were the oh! Yankees, born
amid the New England hills, and the
old highbinders, born amid the Scot
tlsh heather, of the same heroic mold?
We have read that in the chlvalrle
times the Scottish crusaders were be
ing driven buck, when an old highland
chief tin ;, from his girdle the leathern
bag which incased the heart of the
dead Bruce, lie Hung It far into the
ranks of the enemy, as he cried: "Thou
brave heart of a mighty Urine, lead us
on to victory! Lead us on; Lead us on!"
Then the Qeelng bigblenders turned
and charged where the dead Urine
would have led them, b. how we
thrill at the story of that mighty deed:
But why did tin- Scotchmen and the
Yankees of old belong to races of
giants and the Latin people of Central
America and of the southern parts of
Portugal ami Spain degenerate into a
race of pygmies? Difference of blood?
Perhaps, Bui i believe it was not so
much a liiffi .cine of blood as a differ- j
encc of geographical surroundings.
In the southern parts of Kuiope all j
that the inhabitants bad to do lor cen- j
turics was to tickle the soil and il
would laugh with plenty,
among those northern snow
While

not only did the Inhabitants have to
fight human enemies, but climatic ones.
Any man who wrested a harvest from
the New Hampshire valleys or from
the Scoltish highlands had by usees-
i be strong ot brain ami power
fully muscled of arm, It was the cli
matic Obstacles which made the New
imglandcra and the Scottish clans the
mighty men they were and are, nnd it
is trouble, great trouble, which always
develops men. The old parental eagle
imslies her I'.cdgellngs oft' the nest to
teach her young how to tly. God
pushes us one and all out into the
abyss of fathomless trial to teach us
how to take care of our.-elves. God
docs not wanl to run a perpetual nurs
ery. lie wants to make us of men and
Women of fully developed powers. He
disturbs us from our places of case and
comfort and Ibrusis us forth into
scenes of conflict and diltb tilly iu order
that we may learu to use the spiritual
powers with which we are endowed,
anil to teaeli us in dire extremity what
taflfllte resources there are in him for
every 1 f bis ebihlren who looks
confidently up to btai and cries. "Our
Kstber "
ibid again eHW up our nests nnd
pushes us off our eyries, as the eagle
does its youtlg, to show us our limita
tions as well as our possibilities. The
oaglet has to learn What d cannot do
BS well us what it can do. It must
be taught In one sense how to depend
upon itself; it must lie taimllt in an
Other sense how it mtlst depend Up
on the parent bird. The Bible in the
beautiful flgnreof my text pictures the
old eagle, when the rmht lime comes.
stirring up tike nest and poshing her
young off the cliff, oh. yes, that is
beautiful, but the next statement of
the retne Is just as belutlfnl. When
the young bird drops down nnd down

drenl The psalmist says. He walketh
upon the w inu's of the wind." Yes:
that Is lite the gBgle. He pushes us
off the nest, but he does not leave n
to perish. He fat near, and underneath
us are the etertesttttg arms. When we
are losing our strength anil cry to bin,
he bears us up. Da y,m not see QM
beautiful teachings of my text? "As
an easle UlrKtl up her nest, fluttered
over her young, spreadeth abroad her
wings, tnketh them, bcuretti them on
lur whags "
A I ', n of Ilt-pi'iid'-nre.
The weedi of the text leach n that
we must learn our HailtStlmM and how
to trust Hod. nnd to depemi iiin i',t,
as well an to h-nrr. how to depend upon
ourselvee. We ninnt leant to trust
ourselves to the Heavenly lather's
streusth ami care as the easier trusts
tlx
uiother bird, it is a lesion of Ut-j
I peodence as Well as of effort. I bail a
I lesson of this kind when, with my
j Arab guides, some years ago, 1 climbed
I the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops.
: Baoh stone of that pyramid is about
five feet high and two feel wide. You
' give your outstretched hands to your
j dusky guides. They pull and push you
up. Your head is dizzy with the awful
abyss you can see beneath, but still
; they keep on pulling and pushing you
I up. You hi'ljt them as much as you
eon. Without your help they could do
! nothing, but if you did not have their
help you would be doomed. Like that
j of the English tourist who, a few
i years ago, tried to climb the pyramid
: alone, your body would soon be a man
gled corpse below. As we must learn
j from tic text the duty of depending
Upon ourselves, so we must also learn
the duty of absolute dependence upon
I God.
Hut there is still another great les
son from the figure of an old parent
I eagle stirring up her .Most. After the
young birds have oiice been pushed
! off the eyrie and learned their own
limitations',' hml also learned to trust
the parcel., then they are ready to be
taftghl by the parent birds by object
lessons. When the eaglet once learns
that if it does not obey tin' parent
bird it will be punished, thill it will
not only willingly, but after awhile
gladly, obey what the mother and
father bird teach It to do. First comes
fear, then trust, then the attempt to
Imitate and to do as the parent bird
docs.
It has never been my privilege to see
1111 old eagle teaching her young how to
tly, but Sir Humphry l'avy. the great
l'nglisli chemist, once saw this inter

With their powerful

awhile to have a little talk. They
seemed to say: "Now, children, you

to do it willingly, 1 want you to fol
