FATHER VATJGHAN'S DOGMA.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR..] SIR,—May I put a question to Father Vaughan through your columns ? A man comes to him and Bays: "A year ago I starved a horse to death. I was worried by my own concerns and did not trouble to order food for him, and would not attend when I was told of it." Would Father Vaughan reply: "My son, do not think of this again. You have no duty towards your horses, and there was no sin in what you did. God will not ask you what you have done to animals "? If he is not prepared to answer after this manner, then Father Vaughan must believe—as all Christians must—that we have duties towards animals about which, as about our duties towards man, we shall have to give an account to God. How does Father Vaughan escape this dilemma P—I am, Sir, Sze ,
