one to provide for them because their

dred miles, or well nigh across our

There are children, too, in that
army, countless thousands of them,
little ones, like those dear to you and
me; they do not understand, they do
not know why, they just look mutely
around in strange wonderment and
Isuffer-hunger.
In Poland, Servia, England, Ger
many. France and Russia there are
thousands OF little children in need.
Many of them are orphans, whose
mothers are helpless to provide for
them.
In the face OF the suffering OF the
children, let the fine neutrality OF the
soul sweep away all human prejudice
and make us realize that all these
fighting men are equally our brothers,
brothers in Divine Brotherhood of our
common humanity, Their children
are our own kin
Suppose that in some war-stricken
land you could take some little child
hand in yours and looking into child
eyes that no longer smile, could Just
