SUMMARY (Ridvan Askin, edited Deborah Madsen)
This short piece is an excerpt from Clubb's speech at the 1896 Thanksgiving banquet of the Chicago Vegetarian Society. Clubb singles out the Lord's supper as the first vegetarian banquet because it was a Christian event: “This was the first vegetarian banquet under the new dispensation, and it has been adopted in nearly all Christian churches and has superseded the animal sacrifice.” The excerpt is printed with a lush engraving specifically designed to accompany the text, and which emphasizes the claim that veg*ism is an eminently ethical practice based on the Christian “principles of humanity and kindness.”
