The Humane Society,
editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Why should not the subject of humane
treatment to Gods dumb creatures be
brought into the pulpit, the prayer meeting
and the Sabbath school to instill into the
minds OF thoughtless people kindness to the
ANIMALS God has given us to protect and
care for, and where ought we to expect it
If not from protesting Christians? And why
should not the free-will offering of one
Sunday in each year be rendered to the
Humane Society," which is struggling hard
to prevent the terrible cruelty practiced in
this city, but who are SO Handicapped on
account of their lack of funds?
