RED CROSS and WAR.

Every right-minded human must
abhor war. No sane being could
want carnage and bloodshed and de-
VISITATION. Nor would you want to
see young man shot down in the
street in front Of your home. But
suppose young man is shot, will the
fact that you abhor murder prevent
you from going to his assistance, and
stop you from ministering to his i'm
mediate necessities? You abhor war
but are you to stand by and let Amer
lean soldier boys, our boys, perhaps,
possibly an Orofino boy, your neigh
boris son, need, if perchance he be
wounded, for want of hospital sup
plies? The Red Cross is organized
for good. 1t works always to allevi-
ate suffering, whether it be from war
or the result of famine, flood or other
great disaster. Its members are an
gels of mercy, and those who turn
deaf ear to its appeals know not what
thew do.
