A GREAT LUXURY.

Years ago we claimed as per-
sonal friend quiet gentle, humble
man who possessed a considerable
fortune He lived modestly, enjoy
ed the companionship Of books,
cherished high ideals, and counted
his wealth a trust from God. SO
conscious was he of responsibility
to God that he gave himself to the
study of all the problems of wealth.
After prolonged consideration he
published a book entitled Wealth
Its Acquisition, Investment and
Use" We desire to quote a single
passage from that book:
There is a luxury in doing good
sweeter far than any material graft
fication that money can buy. 1t is
better to be rich in good work, rich
in happy memories, in an approving
in the prayers of the
poor and in the smiles of heaven,
than in heaps of mere golden dross.
liI W ~ till II VI uIlN Win TIC
patriarch, The blessing of MIN that
was ready to perish came upon me,
and | caused the widows heart to
sing for joy, is rich indeed, in an
immortal treasure that no post3i-
BILE reyerses of fortune can ever de-
stroy."
Our friend in his unostentatious
way revelled in the luxury of do
ing good" The envy that envies a
man that luxury is an envy that is
not evil Creature comforts appeal
to all normal men. All normal men
are capable of enjoying beautiful
homes, extensive gardens, fast NOV
ing automobiles and the privileges
of leisure, but these Injuries do not
compare with "the luxury of doing
good" How grateful the wealthy
man ought to be that God nas given
him sucn an unfailing source of
happiness. The ordinary luxuries
that can be purchased with wealth
dc not satisfy the deepest longing of
any heart. Many wealthy people
care nothing for these "gilded trap
pings" They are conscious that
wealth, beyond the power of pur-
chasing ordinary comforts, repre-

WHY YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS
YOU AS A MEMBER OF
THE RED CROSS

You know what the Red Cross is.
You are familiar with some of its
achievements- the organized
helpfulness, heroism and self sacri-
flee of its men and women amid the
horrors of war, devastating plaques
and epidemics; and in great Gala
MATES, such as the San Francisco
fire, the Ohio Valley Floods, the
Titanic" and ''Eastland' disasters;
and other catastrophes involving
loss of life and suffering.
Do you know that as an American
you have a right to become a mem
Der of the Red Gross? That by the
payment of small annual dues, and
little unselfish service, you can
support your Government in it's nu-
manhattan work?
Your circumstances may not per-
nit you to engage in field work
few members can-but you can
help; your family and your friends
can help by becoming members of
the Society and by actively support
ing your local Red Cross Chapter.
Your help is needed now. To sup
port its field and base hospitals, its
doctors and nurses and to provide
the necessities of military and civil
liam relief, calls for at least 1000
900 members. America can do
what other nations have done.
No field service is required of
