In the far East there is a bird called the Huma, about which is the beautiful superstition that upon whatever head the shadow of that bird rests, upon that head there shall be a crown. Oh, thou Dove of the Spirit, floating above us, let the shadow of thy wing fall upon our heads, that each, at last, in heaven may wear a crown! a crown! and hold in his right hand a star! a star!—TALMAGE.
