Editorial Notes 
Monitor April 8, ’26 
HERE is something strangely touching in the story related in Our 
Dumb Animals about Jack Miner’s literally ‘“‘Winged Words.” 
For this famous bird lover, who has learned how to win by the thou- 
sands, to his home in Kingsville, Ont., the wild fowl on their flights, and 
then, gently restraining them for a little, to band painlessly their legs, 
so that their later journeyings may be traced, has made these wonderful 
children of the air bearers of many a Christian message. On one side 
of the aluminum tag is printed his name and address, while on the other 
is printed a verse of Scripture. And the response he sometimes obtains 
is really quite thrilling. Recently, for instance, two of these bands were 
returned from far away Cape Dufferin, and the note accompanying 
them said that the writer had received them from two Eskimos who 
wondered what the writing on the bands was and who, when told that 
it was from the Bible, became greatly interested, so that “I read most 
of the chapter to them.”
