Love even amidst arms is the central
theme of the leading article written for
the American Red Cross Magazine by
Mabel T. Boardman. chairman of the
national relief board of the American
Red Cross. The title is Inter Arma
Caritas."
Amidst the scenes of death and DESC
lation. amidst the tortures of physical,
mental and moral suffering now
spreading over the greater part of
Europe. there CLEANS still one ray of
mans highet nature" says Miss Board
man.
When the tumult of the battle dies
away the wounded soldier turns his
weary eyes to watch, not for the flag
OF his own dear country. but for that
other flag, for, come in whose hands
it may. il means to him succor in his
distress, love even amidst arms"
Charity Has Wide Scope.
We too. have suffered from the blight
of war. We, too have our sad army of
unemployed. and our many thousands
who need aid. Charity should begin at
home. but charity that ends there is
not charity in truth.
We are all citizens of this great
world. Take to your own hearts the
agonies of the women who are losing
those dearer than life. Help to bring
love and mercy to them in their dis
tress"
