GIVE!

The Thanksgiving season is Il good
time for the American people TO make
u practical and liberal application OF
n of the first principles of Christian,
ity:
Freely We have received: freely
give"
The ~outpouring OF charitable offer
irgs from the American people last
winter surpassed anything in our
previous history. There were vast de-
mands on our hearts and purses, ow-
ing to the dire need of Belgium and
other parts OF Europe and the pre-.
valence OF unemployment at home.
And the nation in general was poor, or
at least felt poor. Business was bad,
incomes smaller than for many years.
savings accounts were dwindling, the
future was rendered %precarious by the
great war. And yet in spite of bust
ness handicaps and the fear of per
sonal want, our people gave millions
upon millions, stinting themselves to
reliev the sufferings of those in worse
plight.
This winter We are riding on a wave
of prosperity. We are far better able
TO give than We were a year ago. And
the need abroad is immensely greater.
The danger is that our hearts
should be dulled by the very vastness
of the misery in Belgium and Poland
and Galicia and Serbia and elsewhere
in the stricken a zone. Appeals
lose their force because there are so
many of them. and 1t seems hopeless
TO give where even the most liberal
giving must be inadequate.
But the nation must give, and give
far more generously than before, in
proportion to its greater ability. Thus
we may come nearer 10 deserving the
prosperity We enjoy. and take the edge
off the bitterness with which the suf-
lering nations of Europe can't help
regarding Il good fortune.

Perhaps San Francisco deserves
something of the sort. She has given
the country the most successful of all
worlds fairs. and created an arChitec-
tural paradise whose beauty may new
er be surpassed, ~ even equalled.
Ii might be u fitting recognition if the
nation crowned her business and ar
tistic triumph by taking its biggest
convention there. The buildings and
landscapes and gorgeous lighting
effects would still be as magnificent
as ever, and the facilities for doing the
convention work would doubtless be
adequate.
There has never been a presiden-
tIdl convention so far west. II there
is ever to be one, this Is the time.
There might be certain difficulties or
expense in transmitting the owen
ton news to the east from so great
n distance, but such a consideration
need not weigh heavily.
