A WHOLESOME CRUSADE.

The Rev. Father Bernard Vaughan,
a noted London preacher, who is MS
fearless ns he is eloquent. has been
doing good service OF late in denounc.
| Ing what he calls cat and dog wor-
shippers.
In ancient Egypt, as is known. the
cat was n sacred animal, and n
Roman consul Is said to nave deifled
his horse. We have no record of any
heather people who worshlped tho
dog. In the Biblical records tho
canine species seems to have been
tho typo of degradation among Jews
and Gentiles alike.
Tho feeling is voiced in such ex.
pressions as SIS thy servant n dog.
that he should do this thing?" 1t was
left for moderns, and mainly fashion
able moderns, to carry the pet dog
cult to n point which Father Vaughan
characteristics rs n species of idolatry.
That he antagonized deep seated
sentiment is shown by the fact that
he has ever since been the recipient
OF reams of superfIno note paper
scrubbed with angry protests. One
correspondent writes: "My dog is
dearer to me than anyone else on
earth" Another: "You may say
whit you like, but my dog has more
logic than any man and moro love
than any woman ever met"
These notes would no doubt be
substantially duplicated In any OF our
own large cities should the animal
pet.worshlpers be similarly provoked.
The prevalence of the dog fad may
be Judged by the NUMBER of men and
women seen leading their pets around
In leashes.
A smartly dressed woman holding
In one hand whip and in the other
n string attached to her dogs collar,
promenading the street or the park,
seems to imagine that she Is the
whole thing and is unconscious of the
absurd figure she cuts. A man sim

GIFTS, BEFORE AND AFTER
