The life of Christ was a life charged with a divine message of the love of God, and He longed intensely to impart this love to others in rich measure.

The intelligence displayed by many dumb animals approaches so closely to human intelligence that it is a mystery. The animals see and hear and love and fear and suffer. They use their organs far more faithfully than many human beings use theirs. They manifest sympathy and tenderness toward their companions in suffering.

They form attachments for man which are not broken without great suffering to them.
