AS contribution to the Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call campaign, Rt.
Rev. Louis Childs Sanford, Missionary

statement to the Pacific division roll
call committee as follows:
While our attention has been fixed
on the material aid which the Ameri-
can Red Cross has given abroad, car
ing for the sick and wounded, feed-
ing the hungry, clothing the nakea,
let Us not forget the spiritual service
it has rendered us at hons; purifying
our war aims, organizing our common
sYmpathies for effective ends, and
above all, providing a platform upoa
which Ceople of diverse and even an
tagonistic religious traditions cen
unite in an enterprise which in spirit
and method is essentially Christian.
No patriotic citizen can afford to
ignore his responsibility to an agency
so useful in unifying and interpreting
his countyy's ideals. No church mem
her can evade it's claim upon him with
out iniuring to the extent Of his IN
fluence the cause Of Christ and Che
Church.

TIE AMERICAN RED CROSS.
(By William F. Nichols, Bishop OF
California;

California;
The Red Cross is the cosmopolitan
Good Samaritan" The world is
stripped, wounded, half-dead The
Red Cross comes to the rescue of the
"haf" that is left living.
The Red Cross has compassion en-
it, binds UP its wounds, pouring in the
oil and wine, ambulances it, puts it in
the hospital inn and cares for it up to
the very last penny of comfort and
healing cost. For all and every kind
Of suffering humanity the Red Cross
bids its armies of aid "Take care Of
it now and whatever more is needed
for the future | will come and re-
pay"
The Re3 Cross is the neighbor and
brother for all true democracy. Taken
as a symbol from the flag of Switzer-
'lard-with its traditional anti-Haps-
burg and anti-autoeracy sentiment the
Red Cross stands for the ''tie that
binds" human freedom with human
sympathy and human brotherliness.
It's international, spending and being
spent" is making nationhood over into
neighborhood an neighborhood over
into world br rhood. Its red
stands for the O blood of humanity,
its cross for the iumph' of Sacrifices.
Let its staff arG support stand for
Americas finest.

SAW SMALL CHANCE TO SAVE
Enlisted Man Evidently Had the
Spending Instinct Developed to
Remarkable Degree.

Difficulties of soldiers who formerly
were successful business men, in pay
ing last years income tax on this
years pay are illustrated by story
brought to Washington by an officer
serving at one of the southern canton
mentS
Last February, the officer said, he
explained to the men of his command
that all married men would have to
pay a tax on all their last years earn
ings over $1,000, while unmarried men
would have to pay on all incomes over
$1,000.
Coming to him later one of the men,
private, said:
81 guess l won't be able to pay that
income tax. / haven't any money"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the
officer, you have until June to pay
it and you can save it out of your pay
by that time"
81 am afraid i couldn't" responded
the private, 81 made $4,000 last year
and / blew it all when l was called in
to the army"

HURRY CALL FOR AUNT MARY
Still Time to Save Chicken, Though
Usefulness of Bread Dough Was
Thing OF The Past.

She was entertaining city friends at
dinner in her country home Anxious
to have the event as nearly perfect as
possible, she had served dinner to her
small son and his visiting cousin, Bill
ly, in the kitchen first and then BAN
lshed them to the back yard. But
while she gave apparently undivided
attention to her guests conversation,
she was nevertheless conscious of the
very frequent opening and closing of
the back door. of boys footsteps, of
little chickens yeaping and, finally, of
Billy's distressed face peeping in at
the swinging door. But she did not
remember until too late that she had
carefully covered some bread dough
to rise in the one place in the kitchen
where the heat was just right-on the
little platform under the stove. At
last Billy'S head bobbed far enough in
to the room for the company to see
his disturbed look and one guest said :
"Come here, little boy, to see me,
won't your"
why" said Billy, encouraged, II
jest wanted to tell Aunt Mary that one
little chicken is about to get into her
bread, and another one can hardly get
out"

Patriotism has rarely had so many
practical ways of manifesting itself as
in the present time. Sometimes we
have felt that for the most of US it was
largely talk, but now the way has been
made so plain that anyone who is
ready to help has the opportunity to
do so. If any pair of hands is idle
it is because they choose to be so.
The chance to work and the chance to
sacrifice are privileges open to all.

Electric Pencil.

A new electric pencil for making or
writing on any polished steel or iron
surface is operated as readily as an
ordinary pencil. A stepdown trans
'ormer connects it to lighting socket,
md as the point of the pencil is drawn
Dver the steel, the resistance to the
passage of the current develops great
heat, etching the surface at the point
of contact. A rheostat gives control
of the depth of etching.
