Telling Address at Eagle

DIR. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Repub-
lioan nominee for Governor, made the
principal address at the dedication of
the administration school buildings
and other added improvements at the
Philadelphia Jewish tuberculosis Sana-
torium at Eagleville yesterday. When
he arose to speak the audience of sew
eral hundred persons. including lead
ing Jews of Philadelphia, greeted him
with such hearty applause that he
was prevented from speaking for sew
eral minutes. In opening DR. Brum-
baugh referred to the dedication COM
ing upon the day which President
Wilson had fixed for prayers for peace
among the warning nations. He de-
clared that every man, woman and
child in America wanted peace, for
the reason that peace is constructive
and war is destructive
This great beneficence, like all
great charities" declared DR.. Brum-
baugh, springs from the religious
heart OF the people. And Pennsylvania
from it's. founding until now has been
the most charitable State in the Union.
The hand that withholds is impov-
erished. while the hand that, gives is
enriched. This is only one of a thou
sand agencies by which PENNSYLVANIA
gives; each for all and all for each,
is the only slogan. This is all his
toric ground. Back of me is Valley
Forge, i'll front of me Is Pennypacker
Mills: All about " men marched and
suffered and fouaS St for the liberty
which we now enjoy. Pennsylvania
has always been refuge and home
for all PEOPLE. In our schools we have
taken the nations of the earth and
nodded them into foremost American
citizens in this whole land of ours
DR. Brumba6gh declared that Phila-
delphia is taking the right course in
looking after safety. He referred to
the recent carnival of safety in Phila-
delphia, and told of the "safety-first"
idea that is prevalent throughout the
Commonwealth. and declared: THE
safety of the State and land of ours
lays in the conservation of our
homes. Out of these will flow what
will make 1t forever the land of the
free and the home of the brave"
Those who dwell in camps of kind
ness of heart, such as these in which
we are assembled to-day" said DIR.
Brumbaugh, through restored health
will go out into the world with an
equal chance before God to make good
in the struggle of life. We are a great
people; we are wonderfully self
satisfied people Probably we are. 1t
is better that we should think so. be-
cause thinking so will help us to be-
come so.
But let us not forget the lesson
in our progress in this world that
those of US who are strong must bear
the burden of those that are weak,
and that 1t is only when we give in a
large way the service of our lives, of
our thought, of our money of our
property, of whatever the thing is
ours to give, that we ourselves become
strong and rich and secure.
My friends, you and ] forget that
there are thousand opportunities
almost every month of our lives to do
business on small capital; to say Il
kindly word. to give a cheering smile.
to send the needy gifts, to put into the
| lives of others some of the sunshine
that God has put into your own life.
| Doing business on a small capital. Oh,
| if only all of us had somehow the
vision of our relation to our kind. that
| would make us glad for the oppor-
tunity to help.
He that giveth largely to others
| enricheth his own soul. Stand by the
| charities of Pennsylvania. so that it
| can be said that it knows no sufferer
| or needy cause to which it does not
extend the hand of hope and of
health"
