Strong Plea for Bird sympathy.

The lecture on 1.-THE Ministry OF
Birds" Mr.. Lord delivered at the annual
meeting Of the Audubon Society Of the
District Of Columbia gave great delight.
1t was the strongest plea for bird sym
pathy ever heard in Washington, and,
reinforced as it was by the beautiful
and unique pictures thrown on the
screen by way Of illustration, made a
profound impression on all who were
present. l know of no one in the field
to-day better endowed and equipped
for bringing to young and old a realizs-
ton OF the value OF birds to man, and
hope he may have the widest possible
hearing. The influences of such emo
tiOns as are aroused in his hearers are
elevating and refining. l doubt il any
who attend his lecture can go away
without feeling a distinct benefit from
having been present-Henry Oldys,
