'".4 great net of mercy drawn through
an ocean' of riWipenb'tble pain"
.
Aro
a 7E paid out some Red Cross money a while back.
Paid it out and forgot it. That's how much it hurt.
Might not be a bad idea to have a look at what that money
has been do
ma
That money went, dollar for dollar, where it did a
full day's work, wherever it was. s
Three cents of it may have had the honor of disin-
fecting with iodine the three torn wounds of an American
soldier on the French front. Or it may have had the less
noble responsibility of pinning a warm flannel belly-band
around six-year-old Antoine out back of Noyon.
No use, v( vnt figure fhis Red Cross task in cents
worth. ?
There's the whole path of ruin from Belgium to
Switzerland, just to visualize one thing at a time. If your
Red Cross money went there it very likely provided pots
,and pans, food and clothes, beds and blankets, for the
repatriated people.
Three years ago these people were prosperous and
contented self-respecting, steady, saving, hard-working,
everyday, small-town citizens. m
Now they have the " earth under them and the sky
over them" not one thing else.
It's for you to say whether this great work of mercy
shall stop. ' '
The Red Cross is yours, just as our Army and Navy
are yours; yours to support with the same fervor and
loyalty that leads you to the bottom of your purse for
Liberty Bonds, v
0 It's for your voice to say whether your Red Cross
shall falter now or sweep inward, greater and more help-
'fell th
an ever
bet
ore.
And it's our dollars that must" answer.
