Humane Thought-The Quality of
Mercy-By A. E. Fredricks, State
Humane Officer.

blessed are the merciful. Jesus.
"The quality of mercy is not strand
1t droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice
1t blesseth him that gives, and him
that takes"
Here is an eternal truth which the
world will do well to remember
1t is indispensable in the relations
of human beings one to another. If
we were to determine upon one out
standing need of today it would, with
out doubt, be the spirit of mercy.
The world has run to the spirit of
criticism. Man wars against man,
seeking his own selfish ends. Impa-
thence and intolerance have supplant-
ed consideration for others and the
principle of the Golden Rule. We be-
hold the mote in our brothers eye,
but consider not the beam that is in
our own.
And in the maddening struggle we
even forget that this virtue of mercy
is applicable also in our care and
treatment of dumb animals; for, "a
righteous man regardeth the life of
his beast"
There is a great need of this admon-
ishment. The record of the State HUI
name Officer shows that hundreds of
animals died during the past winter of
starvation and exposure. Many were
abandoned to their fate. Some We're
cruelty beaten and left to die Surely,
we cannot boast of our civilization in
the light of these facts. We have for
gotten to be merciful.
April 24-29 is Humane Week thru
out the nation. Let the schools set
aside few minutes during this week
for consideration of this thought. And
on Humane Sunday, April 80, let the
pulpits ring out in no uncertain tone
the greatest admonition to mankind.
'tBe we therefore merciful, as your
Father also is merciful."
For earthly power doth then show
likest Gods"
