BELGIUM.

The Courier-Journal, as its readers
know has opened a subscription at the

commission for relief of Belgium. All

TO meet the awful, the deadly need.

just beginning to be aroused to the
truth that between six and seven mil
lions of human beings in Belgium-lit-
tie, noble, heroic, unoffending Bel
gium-are in dire want and imminent
peril OF starvation. Nothing so appall-
ing has ever addressed itself to man
The worst that visited the south in
the darkest days of our travail and
sorrow was as nothing to it,
Gods help is the invocation and
Gods help be our help. Words walk
limp and fall with kind of paralysis
from the pen. Peeds. quick and brave
self sacrifices not idle sympathy
VIII alone respond the Christ-call;
each widow with her mite for the
sake of the myriads of the widows and
the orphans of Belgium; each child
with its penny for the sake Of child
hood and Christmas never sum too
small to save some suffering neigh
Dor in Christ.
Yea, men and brethren, for us all
let it be Christmas of self-denial; its
celebration abroad in the gifts of bread
and meat, of stockings for little feet
and blankets for the old and the
young, its celebration at home, the
hearts ease Of giving, the entire ma
tion constituting itself one mighty
