The Silent Moment
The steady flow of Red Cross sup
plies to our own people and to our
Allies is an evidence of the loyalty,
devotion and service of our Red
Cross Workers.
The assistance given is to a great
degree material, but spirit perme-
ates each gift which UNNECESSARILY
transcends the value of the gift itself.
We desire to preserve this spirit
as the inspiration of our service. We
hope as the work of our fighting force
increases that now more than ever
Red Cross workers will make appar-
ent our kinship of thought, as well as
kinship of effort, even through the
rush and stress OF active work.
Therefore, at meeting of the War
Council held on Wednesday, October
End, it was,
, Resolved: That every day at the
hour of noon, in every workroom of
the American Red Cross throughout
the whole of these United States, up
on given signal, all work shall cease
, for a period of one minute.
During this time in silence we, the
members Of the Red Cross, will sol
emily concentrate our minds upon
our beloved soldiers and sailors over
seas who are so nobly offering their
all, even unto their lives, for US. We
will think as one-hope as one, for
their definite victory and their in
dividual well being; consecrating our
selves anew to our country and to
those who fight, labor and suffer for
; her, becoming one with them in ser
s vice.
May this united Prayer, gathering
power from, our loved and faith
5 mount to heaven itself, descending
3 thence in the midst of our dear ones
3 wherever they may be, fall upon them
5 as benediction, to be at all times
B their comfort and their strength.
