"CUFFER Little Children to come unto me-" de-
~ clared the compassionate Christ
But never since He dwelt in flesh upon the earth
have there been so many Little Children in need of
compassion as now.
There are the 'Little Children who have gone to
France for you and me and for Christendom and by
going have given their all. Can you do less? Shall
you keep from your boy your neighbor's boy that
which is symbolic of the Compassionate One by neg
lecting the call of the Red Cross Mother?
Then there the uncounted Little Children"
of allies who have fallen wounded and i'll in de-
tense of their home fires. Who but the Red Cross
Mother know the suffering, the anguish, of the
sheltorn, thrst-stricken soldier who lies upon the
ghostly bed of No Mans Land? Will you deny him
the life-giving cup?
Think also of the Little Children" of devastated
lands. Some are Little Children" in size and tender
years. Others, alas, mature in stature and age
but the less Little Children" in their helpless
ness-their abject need. Can in our plenty with
hold from them the bare bread of existence? Can
still inner voice with the thought that others
will bear our burden, when in our heart we must
know that there others?
The Red Cross helps no one who does not need
help hundred times more than need the money.
Therefore, let give, give until feel it. give until
it pinches. Then and only then we shall know that
have indeed offered the Little Children" of the
war the tender compassion of nation.

Does it cheer him to get these snacks
