our own social fabric before we are called
upon to reap harvest of blood and tears

successfully here at the home base ; to dea

become potent factors for good and God tC
supplant. wherever there is the need, the
love of self, with the love for others to help
humanity Godward. All these and more are
involved in the blessings that shall come
from this campaign.
