Show MR. ANGELL'S LITTLE TALK. Our Dumb Animals. In our evening- paper of Sept. 25 we found that the .Baptist. minister's conference con-ference in Tremont temple that morning morn-ing passed "unnaimously a strong resolution reso-lution in praise of our good friend, and late mayor, Patrick A. Colljns, with the exception that one clergyman present , voted against it because Mayor Collins was a Catholic. . It reminded us of a call we had some years ago from our good friend," Patrick Pat-rick A. Donahoe, to whom we said as we shook hands with him, VWe have Just received a letter this morning from the editor of a little paper out west, who says he never wants to see Our Dumb Animals in his office again because be-cause we have spoken kindly of the Catholic Church. Mr. Donahoe thought a moment and then answered with the utmost seriousness and sincerity, "I will pray for him." It reminds us also of the last time wc , met Evangelist Dwight' .L.. Moody, .and said,, to-him, "We see that Mr. has been pitching, pitch-ing, into you in the newspapers becausax you gave the little Catholic church in Northfield some money to help them buy an organ." "Oh." said "Mr; Moody, "that man is crazy; he is crazy! When we have converted all the Protestants then, we will convert the Catholics, but it will take three or four days more to convert the Protestants;" and then it reminded us again of how a devoted Protestant woman wrote us, some years ago, that she had destroyed her wijl giving" our- societies several, thousand dollars on account of the mention we had several times made of the Catholic Church, whose, archbishop was one of our vice presidents and he himself one of the first members of our Parent Band of Mercy her opinion seeming to be that her money should never be expended for the conversion of Catholics, Catho-lics, but only for the conversion of Protestants. Our oninon has always been that we need all the assistance we can get from both Catholics and Pro- j testants to eary humane education for the prevention of cruelty and crime and tho protection of life and property, not only through our own country but into, all Catholic as well as Protestant countries over the entire world.
