Open Letter to Clergymen.

We are told In the Bible that "Gnd created every winged feHl after his kind; and God saw that it was good And God blessed them saying, Be fruit- iul, and let fowl multiply in the earth F
 It IS a sad fact that man is not per hitting the birds of the air to multiply as God directs; they are Wantonly kiII- td for sport by men, and boys destroy thousands of eggs and uestlngs each year. FaS liOn dpcIees that women must wear the Ulumage of wild bIrds for ornaments Glance al the bonuets worn at any church service and note the large number ot graceful plum4s known as "Aigrptt-s There is not a moman that does not know that these pumes are obtained only by the most cruel and barberous methods How can she kueel and partake of the Holy Cummuulon while wearing thpmY
 Can the children of the sunday Schools grow to be good men and wo- men unless they are taught that kind ness to all Gods wild creatures Is a part If Christian life? The Savior says "A sparrow shall not fall to the ground without your Father This certainly means that human beings will be held responsible for alI acts of cruelty to even the most humble of Gods creatures.
 Birds are check on insect life ana 30 lessen the labor Of the tiIlpr of the ,oll. Scientific study during the past two decades has demonstrated the fact that birds are the most valuable friends lhp agriculturlst has; they destroy ms sect pests and nOxiOus veImin; they also eat thousands of tons of weed seeds which if lctt tO propagate would soon overiun the land.
 Birds require no pay for their labors they only ask t0 be let alone tO enjoy in peace and safety the life the Creator gave them-the same right that every good citlZen enjoys
