A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS

An appeal to the Ministers and Sun
day School superintendent of Car
roll County:
The war council Of the American
Red Cross has conceived that a great
national purpose will be served by
having membership in the Red Gross
almost as universal as citizenship.
Although pledged as a nation tC
great crisis, it will not. be granted
to q large percentage, of US to play
part III the fighting branches Of our
country's service.
All Of us, however, can be identi-
fed with the Red Cross, which in
these times, when whole nations are
organized for warfare, ID big enough
and strong enough to carry some Of
the burden for our soldiers, our sail
orr and our allies.
We want a Red Cross membership
Of fifteen million members. We want
the strength and support that will
grow from this army Of members.
We have set Christmas time to at
tain this goal, because we believe
that the Red Cross and Christmas
spring from the same spirit, and we
wish to bring together these two great
symbol Of mercy, sacrifice and cheer
To this, our first Christmas in the
war. we want the Red Cross symbol
to add not spirit of detection, but
the thought of services, purpose and
sacrifice which through accomplish
ment it represents.
We hope that from this Christmas
campaign Of 1917 will grow per-
manent custom which will increase
the significance Of both Christmas and
the Red Cross.
The goal which has been set for the
Christmas campaign of 1917 is ten
million additional members.
Carroll county is asked to do its
share in attaining this goal, and to
that end we earnestly request every
in the county to preach Red
Cross sermons on Sunday, December
the 18th and 23rd and to appoint
committees in their churches to can
vass the congregation for Red Cross
Christmas members. Every Sunday
School superintendent in the county
is requested to bring the matter to
the attention Of his Sunday School
on SundayDecember the 18th and 23
and 10 APPOINT a committee in each
Sunday School to canvass for Red
Cross Christmas members. The an
nual membership fee is only one dol
lar and we want to enroll every man.

home comforts, fuel supply etc.
People charitably inclined should look
about them for those in need and rem
der all the help possible. A little
help sometimes along this line can
do great deal Of good in relieving
suffering. Hunger and cold, espec-
tally among children, are conditions
that should not be permitted to exist
in this land Of christian people and
Of plenty
The farmers have been so busy
gathering their nigh priced cotton
and corn and marketing the same
that they have not taken time to cut
wood for their own use and many of
them were rot supplied when the
snow came. They have placed less
wood on the market here this fall
and winter than at any previous fall
In our recollections 1t has been al
most impossible to buy any wood this
fall. Usually it has been no trouble
to buy all the fuel wanted.
