The contest over the fate of the English
sparrows was resumed again in Boston
on Wednesday, the friends of the bird
mastering their forces. The amount of
evidence tending to show that the bird
was Iovable, neat or mild-mannered was
not large; but 1t was declared that he ate
gruhs, if he did not eat worms. The
principal argument was made on behalf
of the Society for the Protection of Ami
mails, and 1t was based on general prinoi-
pies
There is a vast amount of the spirit of
killing in our country today. If we set
all the children and youth of America to
killing the sparrows 1t may do thou
sand times more harm in the future to
our country and the world than the spar
rows have ever done since the Almighty
created them.
There Is one class of minds who consid
ef q Christian spirit about sparrows to
be simply Mysteries There is another
class who pity the poor creatures on our
cold, wind-swept common, despoiled OF
their nests and young, the cold slest beat
