Popes Blessing for Those Who Protect Dumb
Animals

Since st. Francis of Assist preached to null
titude of singing birds in the marshes of Venice,
and to a multitude of swallows at Fl via, com
mending them to human mercies no explosion has
been put forth by any authority of tho Catholic
Church that is so farreachng as the eeial bless
ing issued unto all those who protect fyIm cruelty
and abuse the dumb servants given to rs by God"
which the present Pontiff Plus gave in con
nection with his approval of the WORK of the
Neapotan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals.
Kindness to animals has always en- taught in
the Catholic Church, but this is the fficial recog-
milton of the dumb servants of MAJ, that has re
ceived the seal of the Holy Father.I
In Genesis it is said: 81 behold. | establish
my covenants with you, and with dour seed after
you; and with every living creature that is with
you of the fowl, of the CATTLE of Ievery beast of
the earth with you" Later the wi se man of the
Scriptures said: "a righteous ma5 regardeth the
life of his beast; but the tender Imerces of the
wicked are cruel"
The Scrptural precedents, his katural kindness
of heart and his known great syn pathy with all
suffering and helpless creatures have doubtless
moved the Head of the Church to extend his special
blssing to those of his flock who ae moved by the
spirit to which he refers. Doubt Tess, too for he
has shown it in other ways, his approval of the
work of societies for the preventib of cruelty to
animals is broad enough and thotough enough to
allow its extension to all who wqbr in the spirit,
for which there is the highest Scraptura ecclesias-
teal and temporal authority.
There is touch of deep humal IN emotion which
will endear the Pope to many hot of the COM
munion by this thoughtful and kindly act-NewarEz

which newly graced the niche alongside of the hall

"Well, I'm glad that is in at last Think of the

Polly was already deep in the directory Here's
May Terry's number-111-2. I'm so glad she has
wire. Oh, l mean to make the telephone help

"Of course it will help; that's what we got it
for. But l don't see what May Terry has to do
with it."
a do She needs helping, that's ALL Theree1I
be chances to do good many other things if we
watch I'm sure there will"
what do you mean my dear? I've learned Won
generally do mean more than you say What is #
this time|' inquired Dolly, somewhat mystifed by
Poy's rapt expression.
81 was just thinking how we could use it to helm
people over hard places and such things"
Polly Minor. you're darling. [ do not know
another person who would think telephone was
for that kind of work But you'll do il if anT-
body can" and she kissed Polly's flushed face
