clothes Each outfit consists Of one pair Of warm
Wooen stockings, one pair Of boots, and a little
overcoat. This one meal day, and these boots,
stockings, and little coats can be supplied only if
give them If we do not the slaughter of the
nnocents by cold and starvation will be appalling.
Among the more than two million men and
women who will read this page there is not one
there cannot be q single One-whose heart will not
respond gladly and eagerly to the challenge of this
great need. We asked, you with us, to cooperate
with Mr.. Hoover in raising tWentythree million dol
lars to feed and clohe these children and save them
from death this winter. 1t can be done 1t shall be
done! THE LITERARY DIGEST knows it's read
erS and the deep earnestneSs the quick sympathy,
the great-hearted generosity they always show
when any real human need calls to them You have
never been called upon in vain. We counting
on you now with great confidence. We know,
also, how truly you represent the American spirit,
which beats in the hearts Of hundred and three
millions more in this big land of plenty, spirit
which leaps ready at every such call, and is never
weary in well-doing. We are not hermit nation,
isolated from the world, when suffering and want
cry out to us from anywhere under the great,
a beautiful, and Notwithstanding hope supports
these stricken people-Amerca will come to their
relief For in the far places of the earth, where
famine stalks, one name and one alone is synony-
nous with rescue and hope-and that name is
America
The small individual unit of ten dollars will
provide the coat and boots and stockings and one
meal day for one child this winter. We urge our
readers we urge every one whose eyes are on
these wordsto give quickly as many of these units
as possible to buy for themselves that precious and
priceless thing, the life of little childas many of
them as they can, apd every one will be shining
star in an eternal crown. 1t was the Divine Love
of little children who came to earth as little child,
and who reigns as the King of Glory, who said, i.
"Tnasmuch as we have done it unto Of the least
of these we have done it unto me-" He does not
forget nor fail to reward.
So deeply do ourselves feel the urgency OF
this great need, knowing all the facts, that we
should feel heavy burden of guilt if we did not go
beyond anything have felt possible heretofore in
order to save these innocent children from suffering
and death Therefore, THE LITERARY DIGEST
will start this fund with the of $4,000 to feed
and cothe twenty-five hundred little boys and girls
this winter. What an inspiration it will be to all OF
us-what an inspiration and example to many thou
sands who may be uncertain how much to gve-f
in the very first week there shall be great shower
of checks for 81 900, for $5000 for $4,000, as well
as deuge of smaller amounts, to send the fund
rolling on toward the necessary tWentythree mil
lions Let US all see again what the fathers heart is
like in this great rich land of America. Let us have
again wondrous revelation of the heart Of Amer
lean motherhood. Let us have great outpouring
of love and helpfulness in the name of Him who
said Feed my lambs!'
