IF you do not expect to go deeper
into your pockets than you have ever
done before for this movement, send a
telegram to these men who are coming
here for these meetings and tell them
not to come. You will give as you

the spiritual life will make restitution
for every other sacrifice you are called
upon to make for this cause"
