life.
And, after experience with
the wounded, there comes
the time when one sees in the
horror of the shattered flesh.
the beauty of the spirit.
1T is a strange holiday for
Il us Americans, with our
new excitements and our new
emotions; our new soldiers
III environments or foreign
trenches, and our new sailors
on mined seas; reports of
our first dead, and our letters
from the front; our fears and
our Citations; and the occas-
ional flash of vision of hun
dreds Of thousands of boys
and men in khaki in miles
upon miles of army barracks.
Many of them, too, are
aching with new tenderness.
1t is the time of times, in
our new puzzlement and
need, to sing the Christmas
carols Of glad prophecy, The
city chimes and village or
gans, singers going from
door to door, will chime and
peal and carol as they never
have before, the Christmas
message Of good tidings and
great JOY which shall be to
all people.
We owe it to our men to
sing it with full hearts, so
that the spirit Of it will reach
their battleships and their
camps. They must never
forget the happiness of this
Christmas, the last, doubt

The Red Cross is trying

Red Cross who said that the high
est points of her life, and her deep
est happiness were the times her
son, new young second lieutenant
home on furiougn, talked with her
as they washed the dishes together
at the kitchen sink.
How it is these humble things,
and not the dramatic ones, that
bind us together and thrill US now!
How TO those whom the war has
touched, people are not so much
Generals or Colonies, or Presidents
or servants or ice-men or tailors or
scrubwomcn or Kings, as fellow
human-beings; and how the hope Of
carrying on what thousands of
radiant youths have died and are
to die for, centers upon the little
children.

4 WAYS. For the ideal of the
Red Cross Treaty signed in
Geneva by the delegates of nations,
is merely this: that every suffering
human being in war, whether be-
longing to friend or enemy, shall be
sacred to the Red Cross. Yet the
symbol of that treaty is SO great,
that it is the meeting ground of the
most conflicting race. and the most
conflicting creeds; of men and wom-
en- and children; of black and white
and yellow and red; of rich and
poor; of Jew and Gentle; of Catho-
lie and Protestant; of Buddhist and

They will understand. For in this

The poor and the rich have begun

And so we can sing Christina,
