Taking for his text the saying of James
Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, ~ Gamma but be-
lleve that dowgs haze sowls;" and a passage
in the opening of Bishop Buffers Analogy
OF Religion" showing that this eminent di
vine considered the lower animals as capa-
BILE of future life, the author seeks to show
that these animals do possess those mental
and moral characteristics which we admit in
ourselves To belong to the immortal spirit
ana not to the perishable body. He main
tains thai ne Scriptures do fi0t deny tu-
ture life to the lower animals. and he pro-
ceeds to show that they share with man the
attributes of reason, language, memory, a
sense of moral responsibility, unselfiShneSS
and love, all of which belong 10 the spirit
and not to the body. The style is Illustrative
and aIecdotal.
