4 REAL church-with all the appurtenances
"a thereof-is to take the place of the roman
tic Happy Hunting Ground in the spiritual
adjustment of the affairs of animals. 1t has been
started in New York, which is experimental
station for the propagation of all IDEAS that need
dollhouse forcing. II Is TO have a distinctive
building special Bible with animal texts-and
a Sunday school which boys will love to attend
instead of sneaking off to 60 fishing on the
Sabbath
A Church for Animal Rights is the latest evil
dence-not that the Church is really going to the
dogs, as some pessImsts would have US believe
but that an entirely new note of inclUsveness has
been sounded, and that the proper Interpretation
of Christianity takes into consideration the claims
of dOgs-and all other living creatUres-and is
longer TO be considered affair concerned
solely with the destiny of man.
The social equality of animals was pro-
claimed long ago when they marched blithely two
by two into the ark, as guests at the most famous
nautical house party record and ate at the
first table with Noah and his wife with no
question Of procedure, except as to which should
occupy the place of honor beside the host and
hostess. But all through the ages this social po-
sition granted them that occasion has been
questioned and the favored ones among animals
at the present day-the dogs that take their
meas with the family and ride in limousines; the
cats that sleep on dOwny cushions on their mis-
tresses' beds; the chameeOns that accompany
debuJartes TO balls and the monkeys that trail
along with their masters the golf links-are
branded climbers" and are snubbed and i'll
treated by all but the understanding humans 70
whom they belong.
Love me- love my dog" is the command Of
a maid to a man, and the male person obeys;
stop kicking my dog around" snaps a pseudo
statesman in political fracas, and the press
features the animal for the benefit of the
paign. Give up that chorus girl or my money
goes 70 a hospital for cats" warns the maiden
aunt and the LAWYERS have q lovely time later at
the expense of both the young man and the cats
Thus animals have always been important fac
tors in shaping the destinies of men, but that the
position they occupy in the eternal scheme of
things was important enough to take account Of
their rights a man-ruled world, was not
thought Of until the founding Of the First Church
for Animal Rights by two young who have
the courage Of their convictions and the temerlty
70 proclaim their purpose to the world.

credited with actually putting the machinery into
motion that has resulted in the establishment Of
the First Church for Animal Rights. 1t Is the
elimination of a lifelong desire on his part, as
well that of Royal Dixon, 70 lift all work for
animals TO q spiritual plane that recognizes re-
ligion a living thing with awakened hui
name consciousness that considers not only mans
relation to man, but mans relation TO every other
form Of life.
A call TO meet with them at the Astor Hotel
was sent out in January by Royal Dixon and DR..
Schneidman to all lovers Of animals in New York
City interested in the establishment Of a church
based on love for all living things, which would
be non-sectarian and humanitarian, and which
would aim to extend the consciousness Of its
members beyond the human into the humane.

twenty-five years ago in the University of Cali
fornia listened with scorn to the positive asser-
ton made by the venerable Prof Howson to his
classes in philosophy that Socrates" the shaggy
coated little skye terrier that followed always at
his heels, had an immortal soul And when the
dog passed on" one day as a result of old age
some canine ailment there was much joking
and cynical speculation among them as to the
possible destination of the soul" of poor little
Socrates" Two of those scoffers are among
the founders Of the First Church for Animal
Rights, and if the whole hundred more of those
students could be assembled there would prob
ably be surprisingly few among them who would
not hesitate before condemning the idea as heresy
because Of their entirely changed viewpoint on
the whole subject of the rights of animals.
There has been criticism, however, on
the part Of those who, while conceding that ami
mails nave rights that should be considered ac-
cordirg to human standards, are not prepared to
believe that they have souls These take excep-
ton to the use of the word church" in connection
with the movement, and say that a league or an
association is the proper organization to function

Behavior of Dogs in Battle

The project which not so many years ago would
have been looked upon as a passing fad, is now
being greeted enthusiastically by a surprisingly
large coterie in New York, which insists that
the gospel of animal rights is no new thought to
thousands who acknowledge debt of gratitude
for the service rendered by these humber crea-
lures of Gods kingdom during the World War.
Virtues heretofore supposed to be human at
tributes alone were found in animals on the
battlefield and many a scoffer is silent now when
he recalls incidents that bid him pause before
denying as he once did the possibility of an ami
NAL possessing rights, even approxmatng those
conceded as the prerogatives of man.

appears as the founder of church. the doctrine
of which claims for them the inalienable right TO
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness, there
has been found no dearth of supporters of the

launched IN the city of New York on
Easter Sunday, for the purpose Of cur
failing the autocratic tendencies Of
man, which for so long have found ex
preston in a contemptuous disregard
of the fact that all life is one, in the
eyes of God, and that since into every
living creature He has infused the
Divine essence, mans rights are no
greater than those of animals in the
sight of the Creator.
Upon this basic principle Royal
Dixon, who has devoted much of his life
to the study of animals and written
numbers of books about them, has
founded new church pledged to a dual
purpOse-that of awakening the hu-
name consciousness in man and Of
championing the cause of animal rights.
There has already been a most re-
markable reaction to the idea on the
part of the public, and from present
indications it will not be long be-

safe for animals by raising to the dignity OF a
new creed the simple belief that every living
creature has the inalienable right to life liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness. There are those
among the members who question the scope
implied by the words every living creature and
the literal Interpretation of this clause has led
to some discussion among advocates Of the swat

been devoted to the cause Of extermnating the
mosquito. Killing animals for food and for the
purpose of personal adornment is also involved
in the basic principle for which the church stands
and will necessitate some concessions on those
becoming converts to the new faith.

Biblical Stories of Animals.

although the Bible has many references TO
animals" said DR.. Schnedman, lit is astonishing
and confusing to realize how little organized
Christianity has done for them. The ecclesiast-
cal conception of them has been that they are
creatures without souls and therefore with no
rights as against those, or at the hands of, man
kind The Bible means nothing unless It awak-
ems the humane consciousness and it IS through
this medium that the First Church for Animal
Rights will serve mankind. 1t will make better
men and women of its members as well as cham
pioning the cause of animals IN a wa never be-
fore put into F-actce, although others well as
Royal Dixon and myself may have thought OF It.
"Onr Jas alyo include the building of
church edifco N-dch will be ecclesiastical land
mark in New York and in which services will be
held every Sunday. An animal Bible which viii
serve as a textbook for the new religion is beng
compiled by Royal Dixon and will be made up OF
passages from the Scriptures in which there are
references to animals. All sermons will be based
on Biblical texts containing references TO the one
ness of all life and that specially mention AMI
mails Sunday school classes in which children
will be taught their responsibility to animals as
well as the tenets of the religion VIII be a
feature of the weekly services There is no IN
tention to have the Church for Animal Rights
take the place of any other faith nor will It's
teaching conflict with other religious affiliations
of its members"
There has been much discussion already
among those interested in the church 70
what type Of edifce will be erected. There Is a
difference of opinion to whether it should be
along dignifed classical lines and dependent for
its distlnctiveness on murals depicting animals
and their service to mankind or If perhaps some
thing as bizarre as a glorifed Noahs Ark might
be more to the popular fancy.
