Mass Meeting Sunday Night

The biggest aid in keeping alive the
home atmosphere in the environments
and on the foreign field is the Army
Y. NJ. G. A. No greater support in
keeping up the morale of the troops
can be found than the inspiring work
Of this organization. Most OF the
letters written home from cantOnment
or from somewhere in France these
days are written on Y. NJ. c.. A. sta
tionery and from the huts marked
with the Y. NJ. &. A. red triangle. 1t
is no wonder thai the soldiers write
enthusiastically in its praise.
A mass meeting will be held in the
Opera House next Sunday evening at
80 p. IN. in the interest of this or
ganization. Music will be furnished
by an orchestra under direction OF
Prof. Van Walker and addresses by
a number OF speakers. Let's all turn
out and pack the house.

at IS Mine."

One of the canvassers in the re.
cent liberty loan campaign, when
soliciting a wealthy farmer to put
his name down for some bonds was
told by the farmer that he had
earned the money he had gotten by
hard work and saving, and taking
care Of what he had earned, and
he could see no reason why he
should be asked to loan it to the
government or any n else. This
man had come to Grant County in
the early days with scarcely a dol
lars worth of property, had taken a
government claim, and by his farm
ing operations and the increase in
his land values is rated as having
the value of six figures in his estate.
The poor creature had never read
the history Of his country, and wss
totally ignorant Of the fact that
the very opportunities for ac-
cumulating which he had so suc-
cessfully made use Of had been won
for him by the sacrifices the ag-
ony and life-blood Of countless lib
erty-loving men and women, not
only in our country but in the
older lands Of the world. To him
all the travail and suffering through
which humanity has passed to Sc
cure the splendid freedom which
Americans enjoy today was an un-
known, incomprehensible thing.
He did not stop to think that in
the land from which his forfathers
came, that had he worked just as
hard as he had worked here, and
saved m IRE frlgally. his reward at
the end of it all would scarcely
have been enough to purchase hi m
a burying place.
The man in this instance mi ght
possibly be pardoned because Of his
ignorance, but there are thousands
Of others who have not even this
poor plea to advance for their sell
fishness.
1t the war we are engaged in
shall succeed in getting US out oil
our SNUG selfishness as a people,
we will not have suffered and fell
its weight in vain.

pear before the Committee of Congress
70 attend to their business, and out of
ABUNDANT caution, they had always Sc
lected the president or the chairman of

reason that the director has commented

fewer Than EVERFACE !
new Year HOMELESS
Yet Charity Workers Find No Lack of
Opportunities for Aid.

New Years Day 1917 found the number
of homeless-the human derelicts without
bed or board-considerably less In Wash
ington than IN any previous year in the
history OF tho Gospel Mission.
Those without home and friends are
fewer today than ever, but the number
of opportunities for genuine charity and
a helping hand to those trying to fight
life's battle under great handicaps is
just as large as ever, according to
Superintendent II. W. Cline.
Saved from Eviction.
The difference between possession Of
a humble home and dispossession with
furniture on the streets was shown to be
the difference between N.5o and the price
Of a months rent, In the pathetic appeal
made to Mrs. II. W. Cline, assistant su-
perintendent of the mission The appli-
cant was a widow. unable to work be-
cause Of illness, facing eviction until Mrs.
Cline adjusted her difficulties and fur
nished food and clothing to tide her over
her temporary difficulty.
Another case called to the attention Of
the Mission was a worthy woman. de-
serted by her husband and obliged to
support herself and an n-year-old daugh-
ter. Mrs. Kline furnished assistance.
The number Of cases Of unemployed
men, who seek work and shelter has de-
creased to a marked degree. Omcials or
the Mission attributes It to the fact that
the country generally Is prosperous and
the opport Z les for unskilled labor to
ind profita 4 employment are numerous
Many Suffer In silence.
I'VE do not fnd as many needing help
when the country is prosperous" said
Superintendent Kline last night I'VE do
fnd, nevertheless, that those who suffer
hardships in silence and who only seek
aid as a last resort is Just as large as
ever. For that reason the work Of the
Mission has not decreased. Those who
hesitate to confide their troubles to the
outside world, generally are those who
need real help the most In most IN
stances, they are worthy people who suf-
fer untold hardships rather than admit
to anybody they need helping hand
We love to help these Teople. They are
appreciatIve for any assistance that Is
given and they are the first to help others
when their own condition Is such that
they can do so.'
