"Humane Sunday" to Be
Observed April 17.
Whole Week Will Be Devoted to
Kindness to Animals.
a LB ANT, N. Y, Apral 2. Observ-
XA ance of "Humane Sunday" on
April 17, bringing to a close a week
devoted to kindness to animals. Is
urged by the American Humane asso
elation from its headquarters in this
city.
"No special observance has more
ready claim upon the attention of
clergymen, irrespective of church
affiliation, than that of Humane Sun
day," the society says in Its announce
ment.
"It has back of it no mercenary
motive; it does not seek to finance
any local or national institutions, no
matter how commendable may be their
Duroose or valuable their work. The
friends of the child and the animal
seek simply to have sermons preached
on the occasion throughout American
nuloits on the general subject of
mercy and kindness. These are fun
damental religious doctrines that
need repeated emphasis."
The week of April 11 to 16 has been
designated by the association as "Be
Kind to Animals Week." it proposes
programme, starting with Monday
as "C1UD uay, ruesuay i-ei jinimai
Day," Wednesday "Benefit Day,"
Thursday "Red Star Day." Friday
School Day," and Saturday "iioy
Scout Day."
Pet animal shows, pnono exnmits
of bird houses made in bird bouse
building contests, and planting of
trees to commemorate the work of
humanitarians, are among the asso
ciation's Ideas for the week.
