In The Churchman (Episcopal) was a letter from one Eunice Barrows, who said: "Serious-minded people of today ... cannot have much respect for a clergyman who in his priestly robes goes into a cornfield to give the church's blessing on a hundred dogs who will .soon harry a poor, innocent animal into a death of torture...
