"The greatest mother in the world ,
Stretching forth her hand to all
in need; to Jew or Gentle, black or
white; knowing no favorite, yet IA
voring all"
"Ready and eager to comfort at a
time when comfort is most needed
Helping the little home that is crush
ed beneath an iron hand, by show
ing mercy in a healthy human way;
rebuilding it, in fact, with stone on
stone; replenishing empty. bins and
empty cupboards; bringing warmth
to hearts and hearths too long neg
lected.
Seeing all things with mothers
sixth sense that's blind to jealousy
and meanness; seeing men in their
true light, as naughty children
snatching, biting, bitter-but with a
hidden side that's quickest touched
by mercy.
Reaching out her hands across
No Mans land; to cheer with warmer
comforts thousands who must stand
and wait in stenched and crawling
holes and water-soaked entrench
ments where cold and wet bite deep
er, so they write, than Boche steel or
lead
"She's warming thousands, feeding
thousands, healing thousands from
her store; the Greatest Mother in the
World-the Red Gross"

SURGICAL DRESSINGS NOTES;
A GRAVE MISUNDERSTANDING
some unfortunate way the i'm
preston has become current that
there is an assessment in connection
with the work of the Surgical Ores
sings.
This is a grave mistake, as there
is no assessment whatever, A volun-
tary pledge has been made by about
forty of the members of the different
Surgical Dressings Glasses out of
over one hundred women who have
taken the lessons.
These women felt that they could
help the work by the difinite promise
of fifty cents a month, and so VOL
UNTEERED to give that amount.
The expense of making the Dressings
is very great, and this certain in
come was greatly appreciated, but
it is also necessary to have the dres-
sings made and willing worker is
just as valuable as a contributor.
New Class in Surgical Dressings.
Several women have requested that
another class in the Surgical Ores
