strong enough and now it has to start
all over again.

han, secretary of the Sank Centre

The expenses of the Saul Centre
branch this month reached $424.OO, a
sum which has almost exhausted the
treasury The next few months are
the ones in which the mo st money is
going to be needed and the executive
committee are beginning to wonder
whether or not there will he enough
funds to carry on the work. Surely,
there is now no one who does not be-
ieve in the efficacy of the Red Cross
work, who will not support it. TIE
work cannot go on without money and
money cannot be raised on bushes.
This is an appeal to organizations and
individuals to find some way in which
money can be raised to carry. on this
most merciful of all work.
