organizations for religious and moral purposes which distinguished the
century just passed. All helped to widen the consciousness of the world,
and to prepare the way for reformations not then thought of.
In this goodly company of voluntary societies, those for the Protection of
Animals are entitled to an honorable place. It is not too much to say that
any list would be incomplete without them.
But they have gone beyond Europe and America, and are spreading over the
world. Among their devoted members are found the professors of many
religions.
These "Voices," it is hoped, may impel their readers, wherever they may be,
to help on, through such Societies, a long delayed work of justice to the
humbler creatures of God. In many countries the young may find juvenile
societies to promote the cause in schools and neighborhoods.
But whether inside or outside of organizations, the words of Mr. Longfellow
suggest a universal duty,--
"Act, act in the living present,
Hearts within and God o'erhead."
