and Satisfy the Afflicted"

revel in abundance and refuse to share it, to whom the
Master said, Woe unto you that full! for We shall
hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for we shall
weep And then you will seize gladly upon that other
divine word of the Christ and send it the
with speedy gifts comfort and and your
gifts will make good the message: Blessed are we
that hunger for shall be filled Blessed
that weep now; for we shall taught"
The Literary Digest well knows your good works:
it we'll knows that you are tireess and always ready
and comfort You will now respond in
stanty to this CALL What The Digest has done while
waiting to tell you the facts has been done in utter
faith in and in overwhelming response. The
great ship Clontarf has discharged it's load of food
and the starving fugtves have already the bread
baked from the -four in that cargo 1t is you who did
this because when September 18th, committee of
the Near East Relief the Y M c. A. and the Y W. c. A.
called upon The Literary Digest help in this awful
emergency, and no funds were then available, dis
counted faith you and borrowed the $4,000 and
bought the entire food cargo of the Clonta We told
the committee to keep buying other shiploads Of
food until the pitiful need satisfied He gives
twice who gives quickly and we confidently de-
pending upon you make this your own by great
outpoung of gifts pay for this first cargo of food
and to follow it with others. We appeal to all the
churches in America that have been the repositories
Of the sacred ideals of nation; appeal to the
thinking and working classes OF broad land, to all
the institutions and organizations that have for their
object the safeguarding of human rights and human
lives. AS God has blessed you, He has given you
happy homes and laughing children, He has been
mercul to you, have mercy upon these, His people.
The Literary Digest standing shoulder to shoulder
and heart heart with you in this urgent task, will
start the fund with it's contribution of $4,000
help feed these starving fugitives. And now urge
all who read these words send perfect storm of
checks to provide food, and shelter and medical
for the half million sufferers in this awful inferno of
the Near East.
They repay you-thoSe homeless ones,
those tortured and pitiful children. You will
never see them face face look into their eyes
shining with gratitude never? Yes, perhaps you will.
But now the blessed Christ bids you give, and He will
repay for it was He who said DO good and lend,
hoping for nothing again. and your reward shall be
great and we shall be the Children of the Highest.
