CAMPAIGN FOR
THE RED CROSS


Something has happened. A
simple and thrilling thing that
brings something of real greatness
10 our lives, humble as they may
he.
1t is the observance Of our first
Red Gross Christmas. One can not
have the thought of it's appropri-
ateness and Significance in world
Of anguish without having touched
The highest thoughts of all the
9orld-that which was given on
the birthday we are celebrating
"Behold, I bring you good tidings
Of great JOY which shall be to all
people;'' and that which was ex-
pressed in the Red Gross Treaty
made by nations, which establish
ed that in warfare the sick and
wounded Of the enemy should be
sacred to the Red Cross.
This is Christmas when we
can not see our new young soldiers,
strong and straight of back, with
out yisioning these others whom
war has made helpless We can
not see the happiness of our child
rem without thinking of those lit
tie ones in Europe who have starv-
ed to death. Perhaps we can not
deck our children's Christmas trees
without remembering that He in
whose honor they are was a "man
Of sorrows and acquainted with
grief"
En- the Red Cross campaign for
100000 new members during
the week preceding Christmas there
ia scope for all our tenderness, all
our richest imaginfhgs, all our new
born power Of simplicity Of heart,
oil our possibilities of service.
The Red Cross Chapters have
asked all members of the American
Red Cross to take part in simple
ceremony on Christmas Eve-the
placing of a lighted candle in the
window shining through Red
Cross service flag on the window
pane. This flag is piece of white
transparent paper, blue-bordered,
with the sign of the Red Cross,
five inches square in the center
and smaller crosses to be added for
each of the houshold who is a men,
ber of the Red Gross. 1T is an ex-
preston Of service in this unexam-
pled>time-a symbol SO instructive
that the Red Gross will glow from
the windows OF our homes over the
length and breadth of the land
sending out the Christmas message
to the world, and telling not only
the passer-by, bat our own hearts
that just as our boys and men are
finding new strength in their new
sacrifices, so may we through oul
new service.

camps when they receive their un-
form and equipment. | under
stand the Tennessee boys will go
to Camp jackson.

of the Benton County boys. Even
though naturally homesick, they
are full of courage and willing to
do their bit. They are beginning
to see the absolute necessity of
winning the war if we want to main
tain our free institutions and ito
deliver the free people of the world
from the menace and the actual
power of vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsi-
BILE government which, having Sc
cretly planned to dominate the
world, proceeded to carry out the
| plan without regard either to the
sacred obligations of treaty or long
established practices and the long
cherished principles of internation-
al action and honor; which chose
it's own time for the war; delivered
its blow 6ercely and suddenly;
stopped at no barrier either of law
or of mercy; swept whole conti-
nent within the tide of blood not
the blood of soldiers only, but the
blood of innocent women and chill
dren also and of the helpless poor;

feated, the enemy Of four fifths Of

the people to let my friends in dear

for Thanksgiving, but it is rather
lengthy. We had Is different arti-
cles, so you need not worry as to
how the boys are fareing.

receive disconsola'e letters from
home-letters that make them
homesick When you write give
the boys all the pleasant news from
home and leave the other out.
Write them all the encouraging
words possible; let them know that
you are proud of them, and that
you are glad that they are facing
the great conflict SO hsav-ly.
