I GODS NAME, HELL
Prayer from the Jeu0s of Stricken Europe

From across the Atlantic the pleading of hundreds
of thousands of Jews comes to us in prosperous,
blessed America
The cries of old men and women.
The cries of the sick and disheartened
The cries of mothers with their starving babes held
close to their breasts.
The cries of little children, orphaned by the war
and by pogroms.
IN GODS NAME HELP US!-is repeated and
repeated by these people who have suffered every
known type of horror.
They are dying over there by the thousands What
help we give them must come at once if we are to
save them.
During all of history the Jew has always taken
of his This has been said of them by all
peoples.
1t is the first time in history that Jews in America
have asked for help-and it is not for them
selves but for those who not only starving, but
prosecuted as we'll.

Of the $4,000, 900 raised by the Jews in America,
100000 is for the exclusive of the Hoover
Commission working in food relief. The
mainder of the fund is for rehabilitation work
the buying of tools, Seed and agricultural mple-
ments in order that these people may next year be
self-sustaning.
This relief is not confined to Jewish people alone.
In Poland and the Ukraine where devastation is
greatest, food and help is given without discrim-
inaton-Gentile and Jew alike are served.
In the name of the 100000 orphans,
In the name of the 400, 900 and more refugees,
In the of the thousands of mothers and
young girls who have been violated by brutes in
human form,
In the name of those who have been crazed by
grief and sorrow,
In the name of all of these,
In Gods name, help.
March 18th and 18th, 1922, have been set
aside as two Gift Days, when the people Of
Topeka will be asked TO help.
