THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
of tortured humanity, the voice of
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the one message Of hope to our war
burdened world.
The black horror of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
Of declaring to the world. through.
the Red Cross, our message of mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking underline burden
of woe and sustains our faith in hui
man kind. 1t is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Cross work that is felt by every citi-
zen in the land, that inspires us with
courage and hope.
Out Of this hell of slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to heaven of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
Of those ideals and principles in de-
Tense of which we are giving our all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every'feld Of death it is proclaim
ing its message of life-because it
keeps ever before us and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve us in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope of the world.

THE hope of the world is not alone
that the armies OF humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail in
our victory. The hope Of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force Of
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dan
gerous hour of victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense. of human rights and
human liberty.
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross D.
Wherever the storms Of battle
hell rage, amid the fires Of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag of the highest conceivable ideals
Of humanity The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in that unmistaka-
bic language Of universal mercy and
brotherhood In the terms of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
sattvaget1t, Of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which we
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar of exploding mines,
