Remember that when our soldiers
90 to the front across the water, we
must provide homes for them over
there. They cannot endure the hard
ships at the front continuously They
must occasionally have q chance to
rest up. Part of the fund you con-
tribute will be used in providing them
with some home comforts. We can
not bring them back here for these
short rests. They will be 5000 miles
away-in a foreign land
They will be away from fathers
and mothers, wives and children, or
sisters and sweethearts-don't forget
and we must entrust them to the
care of the Red Cross workers.
Angels Of Mercy.
Will we supply these Angels of
Mercy with all the money they need?
Certainly we will. Is it not the very
east we can do? They are willing to
90 to the front for us-to act for ,,s
to try to do for our fathers, broth
ers and sons all that we would do.
What is our duty? To give whole
heartedly and with a God bless you,

Are you not willing to give every
penny you can to help such an organ.
zation to continue to do such grand
work?
