THE ROLL CALL.

| The Christmas Roll Call for this
| year, 1918, is the one great and uni
versal call to the people of the United
States to enroll themselves in the
grandest ministry Of service the
world has ever known.
| In answer to the call of humanity
voiced by the President, the thinking
| people of the nation have been unified
| for the advance of liberty and the
rights of man.
| The producing power of the nation
has built up solid, serried line of
great corporations, immense factories
and vast industries.
! The labor power of the nation has
given quick and loyal array of mil
lions of skilled and unskilled work
ers. Brain and Drawn, capital and la
! Dor, have We'd with each other in
instant response to the call that
challenged them to the willing task
of winning the war.
Not that we love war; not that the
mailed fist and shining armour and
cleaning sword had any place in our
American vocabulary. Our passion
was for Peace, but we found ourselves
forced back into the jungle, face to
face with the law of fang and claw,
where we had to fight or be destroyed,
and because we did not choose to be
| destrOyed-tO see Liberty perish
among men-we chose to fight until
the foul thing that dared to stand
athWart the path of human progress
was beaten and buried forever from
sight.
All this America has done and is
doing, and our army and navy is the
| soul of the nation modified for VIC
tory.
But there is another side to the ma
TONS life-another phase of the ma
tons duty-Justice itself stands
equally for the recognition and
establishment of righteousness Be-
hind the purpose of war that would
combat and destroy, there must be a
continual force that will conciliate
and renew That force springs from
the soul of the Red Cross. 1t is the
nation modified for service.
The United States entered the war
for the vindication of an ideal The
Red Cross is founded on that ideal
1t is the greatest mother in the
world, because it is the embodiment
of unselfish mercy, and unselfishness
10 LAAS bCOC VI VI OIllCl IOOuJ JuoI do
brotherhood is the test of democracy.
In the days that are to come, when
actual peace has finally been declar-
ed, and the world is struggling with
the work of rebuilding what war has
destroyed, of gathering the scattered,
of bringing succor to the weak, estab-
fishing law and order where chaos
and confusion had reigned, it will be
the spirit of the Red Cross, incarnate
in the world wide ministry of service
that shall guide the feet of the ma
ton along the path of enduring peace.
Through carnage, desolation, blood
and mire,
Mid scenes that cry to an avenging
God,
The Red Cross army moves through
scathing fire
Clothed in white garments, with
quick mercy shod.
Commissioned is that army from
above
It's standard is a Cross. its watch
