a Christmas dinner are asked to adopt as
President Wilson and Presdent-elect Harding
and many others have already done, as many OF
the children as they can provide for with the one
meal a day throughout the winter Ten thou
sand dollars will pay for thousand children
one thousand dollars will pay for one hundred
children, one hundred dollars will pay for ten
children, and ten dollars will pay for one child.
Give your heart a real Christmas treat In this
one supreme indulgence of the Christmas spirit
do not let economy control 1t is time for
prodgality and utter abandonment in generosity
when it comes to counting the children to whom
you will give life. and laughter and whose rescue
from suffering and death will be your most
blessed memory in all the years to come
There is need now to make haste and do a
great thing. Where are your Liberty Bonds?
Are they locked in vault? Are they safely
stored away in strong box? 1t was an act Of
patriotism to buy these bonds 1t gave you a
thrill Of fervent JOY and satisfaction to feel that
you were helping America in its time Of national
need Now these bonds, that service rendered,
are waiting, perhaps still more glorious service
far safer place of investment. They are, per-
chance, waiting for you to deposit them IN the
bank Of heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt and where thieves do not break
through and steal"
A fifty-dollar bond will ransom the lives OF
five children; hundred-dollar bond will buy ter
precious lives of these innocent sufferers; thou
sand-dolar bond will rescue hundred little ones
from death Can you think Of any more glorious
JOY that life and opportunity could offer you that
would be yours if you could save you personally
could save the lives of a thousand little children
and give them warmth and happiness IN place OF
cold and hunger and wasting disease? Every
Liberty Bond or Victory Bond you consecrate to
this blessed use will be making heaven on earth
and storing UP priceless treasure in heaven above.
Will you give as a royal Christmas gift one or
five or ten of your bonds-NOW.
What are they earning for you, in their strong
box those Liberty Bonds? A few coupons clipt
off every six months; a few extra dollars OF
spending money Think Of the difference in the
dividends they will earn when you bank them as
treasure in heaven. Every bond given to The
Literary Digest Child-Feeding Fund will be the
price you have paid for the lives of group OF
little children Every dividend earned for you
will be the laughing faces and shining eyes of the
little children whom you have fed, and clothed.

cent on your investment!

your heart for your own dear ones, to love these
His little ones, back again to the laughter and
health that are the God-gven heritage of child
hood.
Two wonderful gifts are yours, this Christmas
time from the bountiful hands of loving Father:
With one hand He gives you comfortable home
table loaded with plenty, a happy family circle
and all the delights of this festive Day. With the
other hand He is leading tenderly towards you
hungry, ragged child, perhaps ten of them, per-
haps hundred You will not clutch eagerly
at the gift in the one hand and refuse the gift in
the other We want His presence and His bless
ing in our homes our churches, and at our feasts
as we celebrate His birthday, and so we will not
turn Him away with the little ones He loves We
will not expect Him to allow us to keep a part
of His precious gifts if we reject the other part.
A great Christmas tree was lighted in the
Metropolitan Opera House the other night for
these destitute children of Europe, and every
light that bazed out on the big tree represented
generous gift of life to some child DR.. Harry
Emerson Fosdick spoke straight to the hearts of
American fathers and mothers, not only in that
great auditorium, but throughout the city and
nation, when he sad "Most of us are going
Christmas, but one picture ought to haunt our
thoughts fact that mothers and fathers over
seas will have to decide this week which of their
children they will allow to die. There is not
enough food to go around; some of the children
are obvOus y failing away, but some show signs
of hanging on. Since some must die, shall not
the parents let the weaker go and save the
strong? 1t is a sorry business at Christmas time
for fathers and mothers to pick out from their
children those vho UiU haze to die for lack of
the special food necessary for children"
Make no mistake you fathers and mothers or
America. This grim, heart-rending decision will
not be made by those fathers and mothers who
have nothing to give their children to save their
lives The decision lDiU be made by you Who
haze plenty and to spare. The question of life
and death for these children is in your hands;
you, and you alone, can give them life. At your
Christmas table set an extra place which shall
represent to those who gather around the table,
one and If possible more than one, of the invisible
guests to whom you and your loved ones are to
become Godfathers and Godmothers. Save at
least one life, as you would save your own soul
but do not for q moment be satisfied with only
one if your heart your conscience, your ability
can care for many. Put into the plate before
that vacant chair your Christmas offerings for the
starving children. Immediately after the dinner
send the money to The Literary Digest Child
Feeding Fund for Mr. Hoovers life-saving work
Churches, hotels and clubs are urged to do
the same thing on a larger scale, perhaps with
ld-F eeding Fund" and mail them direct to The Liter
