THE RED CROSS WORK.

one Of the grandest undertakings
OF our government. through the citi-
ZenS or each Common wealth of the
union, IS the work that is being done
TINS week in securing contributions
lOr the Red Cross, that noble organi-
zatlon whose beneticent Influences
have been felt in every nook and cor
ncr OF the civilized world where
thcrc is war and suffering, disaster
ny Hood, fire or earthquake-whcr
ever there are sick and wounded,
SUFFERING and distressed human be-
1nGs to be ministcrcd to. Next to the
churches OF Christ we believe that
me RED Cross organization stands at
the mead OF the institutions of our
country and the world in the great
work Of minstcring to the needs Of
humanity. The Red Cross is the
handmaidcn OF the Christian church,
performing those services that the
church itself cannot perform, but
which have proved and will always
prove the greatest human agency
that can possibly be brought into
touch with tho spiritual work of the
church.
South Carolina must raise during
this week not less than $500, 900.
She must do this because our great
country as whole must raise SlOO.-
100000. That seems like an cnorm-
Gus sum. and yet it is but the small
sum or 81 for every person in the
United States. Many cannot give;
many will not give; many will and
can %lVc, but cannot contribute rs
much Ms the j. a""ragc. It is there
1ore up to each to give as literally as
he can. We are all part Of the
gre1t wh0In I y,
mould fail, then the nation is Grip
plcd; II Oconce should fail, then our
state is crippled: should Walhalla
" any other portion OF Oconec fail
10 measure up to the standard, then
our county is crippled in this great
York OF contributing to the needs Of
lie soldiers that will soon be in the
deld. 1t Is a fearful thing to con-
nmplate this great work of prepara-
fIon for sick and wounded soldiers
~ our nation; yet it is much more
ioarful to think Of the possibility of
haGlecting SO great a work 1t is our
nlain duty to do all we can in this
held OF usefulness and humanity.
Many have contributed literally in
Walhalla and other places in our
county. Have you? Has no one
seen you to solicit Il subscription? 1t
vent canvasSer from meeting YOU
personally. But this should not be
permitted to interfere with the maxi
Ing OF a contribution to the Red
Cross work. Every person in the
county will, if the plans Of the COM
mittee and the chairman carry sue
tessfully, receive a personal appeal
OF an individual call for aid, in print
ri form. Let your contribution come
promptly In ready response.
The work OF the Red Cross is
work Of Christ through tho agency
OF humanity. Let no Oconeean who
can spare contribution be found
holding back. "As the Lord hath
prospcred you" so let your response
be in this great work for humanity
through the agency OF the Red Cross
Society Of the United States. This
organization has done much already
in the great war that is being waged:
Yet the work has been buE fairly be-
gun. There will be millions yet to
succor and save. Let your contribu-
zion have part in the great work
that must be done.
