y May ~, the centenary OF the
birth OF Florence Nightingale, the
founder and heroine OF modern nurs-
mg, is fttingly chosen by more than
300 hospitals in 1the United States

With the modern hospitals as civic
Enterprise. The greatest asset of a
xDmm unity is the health Of its ctr
ems. Sickness and disease are d.
rect menace, and grave danger.
hospitals are essential for the sue
eessful treatment OF disease and it is
TIE duty OF the public to see that hoe
pitals are maintained and conducted

IN the Near East
are volunteers serving with HIGH
purpose, and they do not recognize
hardship when they meet 1t.
IheF nave had their opportunity ia
Wlthdraw with honor from the field al

FUSED to leave, because they know that
their departure would mean death for
tehs OF thousands Of women and chin.
dren whom their efforts have kent
awe and whom they are determined
10 save for better future.
A dozen cables are on my dask from,
various centers in Armenia, Anatolla,
Clilcia and Syria pleading piteously
Tor the lives Of hundreds of thousands
who are homeless: "Sixty.tiye thou.
sand refugees Constantinople alone -
Refugees focking into Aleppo -
Twenty thousand refugees at Ismld -
"One hundred thousand people AT
AleSandropol will starve unless relief
Is provided :" Refugees arriving from
Caucasus, escaping persecution, naked,
destitute! Urgent need to save most
OF them from death :" 1.-TWO hundred
thousand starving between Kars and
Alexandropol Severe winter adding
to distress"
Above all towers the mute appeal of
the more than 100000 little children,
orphaned, homeless, whom these Amer
lean relief workers have saved and
whom we here at home must sustain
not only through the winter and
spring, but through the summer and
autumn as well. II we do not provide.
they perish And with them dies the
hope of New Near East.
The Easter season is here-the sea
son that commentaries the Great Sac
rifice for mankind. America is known
as Christian nation. She is also the
wealthiest nation that history has ever
known.
Can we really enjoy our wealth and
claim the name of Christian if we turn
a deaf ear to the appeal which General
Leonard Wood, in behalf of the Near
East Relief, has sent forth broadcast
for Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save
these little children in Bible Lands?
