keenIy When III Treated.
No one will question that, were the
spirit of Christianity universally en-
bodied in everyday living, all oppres-
sion of the weak and all cruelty to the
lower animals would disappear. New
ertheless, it is fact that, while We
find in Proverbs the general statement
that ''the righteous mah regardeth his
beast" there is not in the New Testa-
ment any special teaching or tntunc-
ton on the subject, and 1t is only COM
paratively recently that it has come to
be thought worthy OF attention and Or
ganized effort, directed to the preven-
ton Of the constant and shocking
cruelty which for centuries had gone
on unheeded. At an earlier period than
the beginning Of our era, the great
teacher, Buddha, in his command
ments TO his disciples. laid down the
principle that all life was sacred, and
that the rule Of kindness was to be ex-
tended to its lowest manifestation.
While We are yet. as a people. far
in the rear Of this position. much has
been done through societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals and
for the regulation Of vivisection to put
a stop to the worst OF the suffering
which was SO common IN former
years. The brutal abuse Of overbur-
dened animals in the public streets Is
no longer seen. but a great deal still
goes on painful to the sensibilities OF
the observant and of q nature that
should be prohibited. Horses that
ought to have been retired from active
service long ago, or put out Of exist
ence painlessly, are propped up be-
tween the thills Of dilapidated carts
and forced to totter along the streets
with loads far out of proportion to their
strength; poor blind animals, with all
the apprehension and distress that
human being would experience SINH
larly situated, are driven about in the
crowded tnoroughfares, regardless OF
the dumb agony they must experience.
and 1t is not uncommon to see drivers
of vehicles lash their horses furiously
without justification or to any good
purpose, in way that makes one wish
the outraged animals could kick their
assailants off the boxes. 1t is not nee
essary to accept the doubtless some
what fanciful estimate Of Seton
Thompson in regard to the quite hu-
man intelligence and susceptibilities OF
the lower animals in order to believe
that they suffer keenly. realize when
they are well or ill-kept, resent cruelty
and injustice. and respond to friendli-
ness and kindness.

Mrs. Frederick Brown, Of 40 Sumpter

from infiammatory rheumatism from
the time she was sixteen. She says:
1t first appeared in my knee joints,
then in my hips and waist. It became

mostly my hands, hips, feet and
shoulders. Ny hands were nll puffed

For several winters was under the

seemed no prospect for a permanent

swelled dreadfully at times and I was

In the spring of 1904, upon the ad-

Everything silent, and the effect Is

white-robed figures sweep silently
down the long corridor. Each carries
a tiny lamp. taken from its stand in
front of his cruciix, and wends his
way along the cloisters, past the
graveyard. to the church beyond.
When every member of the COM
munIty is in his allotted place the tiny
lamps are extinguished. The only
light remaining is that Of the sacristy
lamp hanging in front of the altar.
This lamp sheds a red glow over the
bending figures of the monks; their
white garments seeming tinged with
fire here and there.
Peculiar Services.
Swaying their bodies slightly to and
fro. they begin a strange, weird chant
which almost approaches to a wall
One side of the church takes up the
song, and the other answers, and thus
the curious chanting goes on for two
hours without interruption. At the
end of that time the tiny lamps are
again lighted by a lay brother, and
the monks, in perfect silence, and
without speaking a word to each 9TH
er, find their way back along the mar.
row passages, each going to his own
cell. Thus the Carthusians expiate, as
they claim, the sins Of the world.
At 6 o'clock they again arise to
prayer, but at this time each monk
says his prayers in his cell. The
booming of the great bell in the clock
tower sets the time for the beginning
of each occupation and prayer. All
the monks in the monastery are engag-
ed in the same prayers at the same

Here lives have been devoted solely
to prayer for a sinful world: silent

Believe Prayers Save the World.
It is one of the absolute beliefs of
the Carthusians at this particular mon
astery that they are doing an i'm
mense service to the world by their
life of prayer and self-abnegation. In
book written by one Of their mem
bers the distinct claim is made that
IL they ceased from their prayers for
a moment the end of the world would
come. To quote this writer's own
words. IF tomorrow our lips were
closed, If our discouraged hands were
let fall to the ground, If we gave up
the painful paths Of penance, the
world would be carried away like a
blade of grass by the storms of di-
