FOREWORD

We the undersigned, without cenimitting ourselves 

’Isr any particular theory as to the way in which this 

Gospel conies to us,^ gladly avail ourselves of the editor's 

invitati^ to express the satisfaction we feel at th^ 

regnblication of a book which insists on the obvious^ 

thoug]^ often lamentably neglecl|^d, duty of love and 

protection for animals, which relates a number of 

instances of the personal interference of the Lord of 

Love to save animals from ill-treatment, and which 

contains much else that is true and beautiful, including 

the chapter “ Truth is a ladder of many rungs/’ which, 

under the title, What is Truth/’ appeared in the 

Etrald of the Star about ten years ago, and there first 

brought to the editor’s knowledge the existence of this 

Gospel.
