In addressing the Itinerants' Club. which
il an organization OF Methodist clergymen In
Brooklyn. on Tuesday last. the Rev. DR..
JOSEPH PULLMAN spoke of the lack OF learning
In the pulpits Of that denomination. Ho said
that the Conference examination OF persons
desiring licenses to preach Is often farcical:
he showed the disadvantages under which
Methodism suffers In these times on account
Of the ignorance OF its preachers. and no
made an urgent plea for their better educa-
ton. It could not In his opinion. be made one
OF the requirements OF Methodism that its
clergy should be university men or even
seminarists. as over 1000 new preachers are
needed every year for its churches in this
country; but. In any event. they should all get
better education than the majority OF them
now possess or than that provided for by the
Conference examinations. which. as We have
already said he described as often farcical."

deep impression upon the members Of the
Itinerants' Club that is holding It's sessions In

DEAR SIR: The Catholic Church has never
made any authoritative declaration as to our
obligations toward the lower animals.
But some Catholics have misapplied thu
teaching OF moral theology to this question.
We owe duties to moral agents. The lower
animals are not moral 'asents. Therefore, It is
thought that We owe them no moral duties,
But this is irrelevant
We owe to ourselves the duty not to be brutal
or cruel: and we owe TO God the duty of treat
ing all His creatures according to His own DER.

: LONDON, Oct. 15.-The gale which has
been raging over the British Isles for the
past two days has not yet exhausted it
self. All along the coast the beach is
strewn with wreckage. At Dover large
quantity of debris, evidently belonging
to one or more wrecked ships, was
washed ashore. A Cardiff coal-laden
steamer was seen near Holyhead and
the crew perished. The weather in the
Irish sea and the English channel is the
most severe experienced in many years.
In the midland counties great damage
was done to stacked crops.
Many vessels have been seen driven
helplessly past the Dungeness light, fly
ing signals of distress. The local life
boats are unable to be of any assistance.
The storm at Leicester wrecked large
menagerie, killing many animals and
wounding others.
