NEAR EAST CONTRIBUTIONS
 GO DIRECTLY TO RELIEF

Norwich people who will help the Near East relief by the "somebody's supper" plan next Monday evening and others who contribute to this agency for the re- lief Of the Armenians can be assured that practically every penny they give is ap- piled directly to relief work. said G. H. McDonough of Hartford, field man for the Near East relief, who was in this city Tuesday afternoon conferring with the local leaders.
 This is so, continued Mir. McDonough because administration expenses, both national and state, have been practically eliminated. Cleveland IT. Dodge, nation al treasurer, is personally bearing all the expenses of the national office including the printing. while a group of philan- thropists, including such men as Arthur Curtiss James, James M. Barton, Abra- ham Elkus and others, is meeting the expenses in the different states It is thus apparent that the use of contributed money for administrative expenses is re duced to minimum so small as to bt practically negligible and contributor: can be assured that practically every penny they give actually goes toward! providing something for some starvinl and destitute Armenian orphan.
 The handling of the money in Armeni; ] is also arranged in such a way that it il applied directly to the need, for it ii handled only through the authorizes agents of the Near East relief or i drawn upon by United States consuls t meet cases of real necessity which the, can vouch for.
 l The local officers are expecting larg response through the Somebody's sup per" plan which has been announced 10
 Norwich next Monday evening to sem
 many dollars across the water from thi

While God is a mighty force. and a Judge with per feet wisdom. He is also a loving Father and while we admire his great power, and We appreciate his perfect wisdom as the great Judge of nations and individ. uals. we are drawn to Him most because He Is a kind Father. and as such !ndi- catcs His love to us in many, many ways While we appreciate His wund. rous love we must at the same time re. member that He is just and therefore we cannot expect to escape the working of His just laws, and especially must we remember that whatsoever a man sow. eth, that will he also reap"
