 '"The present insistent call of our beloved country must be heard and answered by every citizel of the United States in proportion to his or her ability to maintain the national power and honor. Many citizens will render their aid by force of arms on the battlefield while others will make the nation strong by their patriotic gifts and support to the common cause It is therefore highly. fitting that the Sunday schools of the nation should observe a special patriotic day on this occasion should make a special contribution to the American Red Cross for the alleviation of the suffering entailed by the prosecution of the present war. It is my earnest hope that your generosity may be un- stinted in this the hour of the nation s need and that this special day may mean much to you in the understand ing of the cause for which our beloved land now contends.

Perhaps the most notable and for
tunate thing about the new Russian
government is the way it combines
all the elements necessary to a
strong and permanent government.
The war has brought together the
various radical groups.
The first imperial dumas were
made up of a number of parties, fire.
uuently having brilliant and scholar
" leaders, but as there was little CO.
hesion among the various groups it
was always possible for the govern
ment to play one against another,
and Russia was not very much
helped by its work and outside ma
tons were not very much impressed
by its value.
A perpetual fight was made on it
