Clergy Endorse Roll Call
"Clereymen all over the nation have
endorsed the Third Roll Call in un-
qualified terms of approval. Their
cooperation is regarded as vitality
essential to the success of the drive.
The church has the equipment in
organization, in buildings already fur
nished, and in men and women already
trained in tasks demanding service
and sacrifice. The high standard set
by the church itself and its splendid
record of work already accomplished
impels the Red Cross again to appeal
to it TO help make the Third Roll Call
the finest thing the American people
have ever done. The organization
is. without doubt. the greatest, the
most inclusive and the most efficient
charity the world has ever known.
Not all can volunteer for the
actual distribution Of relief. but ali

bers OF this glorious amy of armics.
The membership fee is only 81 There
Is no one too rich or too poor, too
old or too young. too proud or too
humble, to become a Red Crosser'

such as love their fellow men.
The President Issues Summons.
"The President OF the United States
has asked every American to respond
and to his call has been added those
OF every state governor and every
other high official in the country.
The necessity for the success Of the
Roll Call is not underestimate BY
these men, who know what the organ.
ization has accomplished and what it
must yes do.
The newspapers have performed
unreasonable service in present
ing the Red Cross message TO the
public and that service has been re-
inforced BY faithful endeavors on the
part OF men women ard children
workers. We are = atified very much
over the wora of these agencies and
