The Denver Jewish news., 1919-10-01

nothing to wear. Now you have the
most horrifying picture. of what condi-
tions really are. In that country. and
lot me tell you that we here tonight
do not really know how fortunate We
are that our parents came to America,
and that our cradles were rocked In
America. and, before going further
there comes this inspiring thought to
me- and that is. that this war has not
been fought in vain. and that no mat
ter what religion. Jew. Catholic, Pro
testant, and races-black and white
fought for the same principle, and there
existed that brotherhood, that every
one belonged to everyone else. They
went over the top together, worked to-
gether, slept together and died to
gether. They knew no differences and
friends. hope and pray that America
will remember and learn to emphasize
orr differences less, and the things OF
which we agree more. These things
that / tell you are not matters that
1 am bringing before yUi. because OF
things that 1 saw personally abroad. J
only visited England and France. bui
/ tell you things-from reports tina
have come to me, which I will ask yol
to listen to for few moments. First
of all, let me read Il letter from Mr.
Herbert Hoover, of whom Won all know
WHO served his country second to nj
man in the United. States. Under date
Of Sept 16, 1919. he wrote to Mr.
Nathan Strauss: Pam indeed glat
Do learn that every effort IL being pui
&rth 10 raise funds for TINS great and
worthy cause. to relieve the suffering il
this devastated country He goes oI
to say: that there are no children
there under five years Of age. the cliil
dren that were born died soon afte,
birth. as their mothers were so under
nourished. they were Unable to feed
them" He also quoted from Franz
vanderlip's report. that large per
centage of children between tire age.
of five and eleven, a re unable to walk. "
know, my good friends, that after
hearing these reports that the good
people of Denver and Colorado will do
their utmost to raise not only thei,
quota of s254OOO, but raise nruch moro
and don't stop If you can raise $500
900. There is no joy. like the joy OF
giving, and we here tonight should be
thankful. that we are able to give
instead of having to receive. I was
muchly impressed with Father O'Ryan's
prayer this evening. and just before
Father Organ left, he left with DR.
Friedman check, as his donation to
this cause And. friends at this point
want to read to vol, IA letter which I
Received. from Father Shannon. of Chi
chyo. WHOM Il have asked to help in
the drive in that city, and who not
only has Responded with Ills wiling
ness to- help, but has offered oue-tenth
of his income for the. year. Think
of it, .one-tenth of his years income.
This Is the spirit that has been ell
scridered by the war. and this money
will 90 to Jews and non-Jews alike. and
i know the men and women of Arueri-
"a will not question what religion you
nave. and / know that everyone of
you wifi put forth every effort to put
this drive thru" 500
