seriously the gigantic task confront

three most important words--duty,
opportunity and service. IL | should

name three men whose names are well

conscientiously and with that fidelity
which will not be cxcellcd in centur-

him. Abraham Lincoln. that Ken
tucky hoy woodchopper, who seized
upon opportunity when opportunity
knocked at his door: and the illus
trous Washington, whose services to
his country is incompatible with that
performed by most any other Ameri-
can. The American Red Cross Is cal
ling today for Lees, for Lincolns and
for Washingtons for the performance
of the duty now confronting them.
"Our version OF the activities OF
the American Red Cross has been that
II cared only for our sick and injured
soldiers and sailors in times Of war
and that its activities during calami
ties, catastrophcs and pcstilences were
hut acts Of charity on its part To
