An Unused Opportunity to Rebuke Cruelty

the press, and made vivid to by the
societies for the prevention OF cruelty animals
the incongruty of a High Church upon a

One who loves and understands a horse cannot
fail 10 realize the cruelty of docking Humane
societies are continually offering rewards for evil

may be prosecuted, and the cruelty eventually

Perhaps Bishop Greer's horse was a present to
him, and he heartily wishes the poor creature had

Bishops position would have been such fine bit
