upon us this Christ

mas.
The Ginning carols may
seem almost lost amid the
blasting of the guns. The
candles in the windows of
our homes will shed their
little beams into a world
brilliant with liquid flame.
We will celebrate Christ's
birthday singing g.. and
on earth peace, goodwill to-
ward men," while we urge
our sons to train their minds
and their bodies for the kill
ing of their brothers. But
the Red Cross has taught
those of us who have suf-
fered, to see double: and it
will be a Red Cross Christ
mas this year, wherever
Americans are grouped to-
gether.
This is what I mean by
seeing double: there are over
100000 members of the
American Red Cross and the
campaign drive now opening
should result in over 15,OOO,-
900. That doesn't seem big,
for we have become used to
larger figures: But the

IN THE NAME OF FRANCE
/ THANK YOU.
God receive your Souls!
Farewell!

There is a mother who works in
her home and her church for the
Red Cross who said that the high
est points of her life, and her deep
est happiness were the times her
son, a new young second lieutenant
home on furlough, talked with her
us 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
scrubwomen 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.
THIS is thinking in Red Cross
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
Confucian; of artist and artisan;
of materialist and idealist; of sol
der and civilian; o. general and
private; of Foe ard Adversary
he Red Cross!
, So we put candles in our win
dows this Christmas Eve, that the
Pickering point of light shining
through the Red Cross on the win
dow-pane may say to the way
farer and the soldier and the
sailor, things too great for words.
They will understand. For in this
overwhelming trouble we have be-
gun to be simple of heart together.
The poor and the rich have begun
to understand the others sacri-
fees.
And so we can sing Christmas
carols and not be hypocrites; for
the guns that are killing men so
anguishingly dear to us are blast
ing out old wrongs and old hypoc-
riches.
The Red Cross is our home way
to help. The need is too great for
us to compass even in our minds,
The organization of the American
Red Cross can do the things W.
cannot do ourselves-it can ar
range the shipping, and carry ouI
gifts, it can get them to our men
1t can, if we let it, look after oul
mems little children left at home.
If you are not a member Of the
Red Cross, you are needed beyond
your imagining.
Please help-because you are So
needed.

country last year for candy.
We have learned to talk and
think in billions. But one
cent can buy. enough iodine
to disinfect a wound-and
the disinfection of that
wound may save a human
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.
TT is a strange holiday for
L us Americans, with our
new excitements and our new
emotions; our new soldiers
in cantonments 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.
It 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
less, before they go across to
offer-all they have.
The Red Cross is trying,
and expects to send every
man in training a Christmas
parcel of Christmassy things
as a symbol to show him how
much we care, and the things
we cannot say in words. The
boys in their barracks will be
celebrating, swapping pres
ents, joking and singing,
adding a Christmas song to
the familiar round of swing
ing choruses. But before an
other Christmas perhaps a
million more young soldiers
will have followed them over
seas.
COME of them, until the
~ day they put on the uni
form, knew only school fun
and home love. Their stock
ings were darned. their favor
lite things to eat were cooked,
every minute of their holi-
days planned, their young
hopes regarded with yearn-
ing eagerness by their fam
lies. Some of them were
born seemingly to be knock
ed around, and have the hard
and lonely end of things.
Both are going abroad to-
gether now. serving the col
ors, defending our lives with
