Listen to what your chapter ha.
been called upon to do and has done
since September /:
Three tons of secondhand cloth
ing to be turned over to the Commits
sion for Relief in Belgium, and sen,
to the suffering Belgians behind thu
German lines.
When last March we we're asked
To- contribute two tons Of such cloth
lne to the same cause, our chairman

now, said: "Of course. 1t can't b
dClle." Well, it was done, with two
Thousands pounds thrown In for good
meaSure. And SO. this time, within
one week, you assembled 6,663
pounds Of good serviceable clothing
which will help keep warm, decent
and hopeful those martyred Belgians.
Probably we shall never again be
called up to answer just such call

Of our brave boys, these people will
soon be In the hands of human beings
and able to earn their own living as
they ardently desire to do.
On September IL we received an
allotment of surgical dressings

are finished, but since 1t was not an
emergency call, the rooms have been
closed on account of the epidemic.
However, IL there is immediate need
of anything. they will be reopened.

According to the Bulletin, the
Northwest division is soon to have
an allotment of 100000 moss pads
Probably 10000 of these will fall tc
our share. so we must have plenty
of moss gathered and prepared.
On September 80 you shipped II

The first contingent of these robes

They are for children of
the "repatriates," French and Bel
CLANS, who have been denuded of
their homes and possessions by the
enemy and passed through the lines
because they were burden, not an
asset, to the despoilers.
A unique order was the request for
linen to be given the French, to re-
place their stores emptied by four
years of leanness and the demands
of the airplane service. We were
asked for $50 bath towels, 700 hand
towels, 400 handkerchiefs, 35 nap
kins, 175 sheets. You sent them all,
Of course, and were only prevented
from sending twice as many by the
strict orders from headquarters. In
fact, the committee was positively
by your generosity.
The knitting needles, too, are click
ing. On September 21 an allotment
came of 21O sweaters. to be COM
pleted before December Is. We have
sent 10 sweaters and 70 pairs of

Urges, however, that there be no re-
axation in this work. Continue to
send them in as rapidly as possible
And please be sure that the fruit pits

been much waste in both labor and
because pits nodded in the
boxes.
The government says: 1.-TWO hun

shells will produce enough carbon

hare to give at least one man the

Another unusual order is for $50

that no church should lose its ident-
