Salvation Army Red Cross and all the Jews OF
the city proceed to make special collection from their
who than any Others have been made
victims Of the war in Europe.
The Jews having contributed to every Gentle fund.-
and contributed generously, would be becoming, only
gratitude, the Jewish fund were increased by
generous gifts from nonJewsh sources.
The eighteenth chapter of Genesis eighteenth verse;
read and believed by Jews and Gentles alike says Abra
ham shall surely become great and mighty nation and all
the nations Of the earth shall be blessed in him.
This is not prophecy of some far-Of day. but one
fulfilled in THIS DAY.
the Holy Land and the city of Jerusalem But however
great may be the work to be done there cannot equal the
work that the Jews are doing and will continue to do all
over the earth.
To find backward unsuccessful failure among the
nations simply look for the nation that inreats perse
cutes Jews.
And wherever you find the most liberal treatment Of
Jews-in America, England France Italy-you viii find
the higher civilization and prosperity.
For the Jews pay back ten for and hundred for
one all that other races do for them They promote carry
and develop They take the business risks
that give employment to workers and carry business for

They show their business capacity nowhere more strk

ties When you contribute dollar to Jewish charity
you safe in saying that ninety cents of that dollar
VIII actually reach the poor. Not more than five cents
spent for Expenses" You can't say that of any other
charity.
To every branch of useful human activity the Jew
contributes enrchng the nation that makes him welcome

teeth missing.
Genes who gladly accept generous contributions for
all their and other charities from Jews should be glad
of the opportunity to contribute in turn this fund for
suffering Jews in Europe.
Fortunately it is to make special
peal to the intelligent American Jew.
He takes of his own. When you see an old man
or woman white haired begging in the Streets it is
Jewish face that looks up into yourbut the face of
neglected Christian.
The Jews know that the best possible answer to stupid
race religious and business prejudice envy is the

and taxes that pay.
You may lie about much as you choose; can
not prevent that and don't care to.

hgion is"
New York city has just raised fund of five millions
1or Jewish sufferers In Europe and this follows upon the
al the contributions generous to the last degree that the
Jews have made to all the funds of all denominations
This CITY, In proportion, will do its full duty
DEEDS not words, is the best motto for CHARITY And
the generous deed in this charity drive will answer manv
foolish words of prejudice jealousy and stupid religious
and race hatreds.
