Financial Drives

The war has taught US one big
thing: How to raise huge sums of
money by "drives"-concentra eff
fort within a given length of time.
All sorts of "drives" have been put
over. Liberty Bond Sales, Red Cross,
Red Triangle, Armenian Relief. But
a bigger drive than all of these is
coming, and the best "drive" of all,
because it aims to spend the money
raised in a way to make permanent
the goods work these previous drives
have accomplished temporarily.
That's great missionary drive to
raise several million dollars to bring
other countries up to our religious,
moral and social standard so that old
time sensitive racial differences will
disappear and all the world will come
to know itself better.
Once upon time it gave us a sort
of a weary pain to have missionary

in so often by the local preacher.
We're getting over that. We're get
ting over it for the reason that if all
this good missionary work had been
done by the red-blooded men before
who have it in charge now, there
wouldn't have been any war with its
terrible toll.

only to think in large figures, but to
