HEARTRENDING APPEAL
FOR HELP IN BIBLE LANDS

New York, Dec. 9 1918.
Mrs. Grant Rutland,
Gunnison, Colorado.
My dear comrade:-
For your full cooperation IN
reaching the Sunday schools of your
county in behalf of the starving peo-
pie of Bible Lands, wish most heart
lily thank you. The continent-wide
response has been great. The infiu-
enza has made it difficult for many
persons in the field, but all have done
their best to overcome their difficult
ties.
II anything made it impossible for
you to reach all of your Sunday
schools on or before the first Of Dec.
please continue the work right up to
Christmas time. II you cannot visit
all the Sunday schools, do your hest
to get in touch with the superinten-
dents, and with loving persistency
leave no stone unturned that will line
up every S. S. for this cause.
The children of Bible Lands cry to
US for bread and shelter. Ambassa-
dor Morgenthan, in an address to our
Sunday School workers in New York,
said that he saw two little children
who had nothing to eat but grass for
thirty days. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe in words the situation of those
lands. II America fails. these child
ren will starve. The "inasmuch" Of
the Master reminds US that we may at
this time celebrate his birthday by
bringing our Christmas gifts to those
He loves in His homeland.
The children cry to us; our Master
depends upon US; let us do our best.
One small Sun6 " School not contrib
uting may mean child will starve to
death.
Yours in the Masters name,
