fuse to share It, to whom the Master said, Woe unto you
that are full! for ye shallthunger. Woe unto you that
laugh now! for We shall weep And then youNvill seize
gladly upon that other divine word Of the Christ and send
it across the sea with your speedy gifts to comfort and save,
and your gifts will make good the message: blessed are
ye that hunger now; for ye shall be filled. Blessed are e
that weep now; for ye shall laugh!'
THE LITERARY DIGEST well knows your good
works; it well knows that you are tirelcss and always ready
TO save and to %cornfort., You will now respond instantly to
this: call. What H DIGEST has done while waiting
to tell you the facts has been done in utter faith in you and
in your overwhelming response. The great ship cLON-
TART has discharged its load of food, and the starving
f~ugitives have already eaten the bread baked from the flour
in that cargo. 81 IS Q who did this, because when, on !
September 25fh,a a committee Of the Near East Relief, the
!. N. G. A. and the WV. {. "A. called upon THE LITER
AIRY DIGEST to help in this awful emergency, and
no funds were then available, WE DISCOUNTED OUR
FAITH IN o and borrowed the $4,000 and bought
the entire food cargo Of the CLONTARF. We told the
committee to keep on buying other shiploads Of food until
the pitiful need was satis6d. "FIe gives twice who gives
quickly" and we are confidently depending upon YOU to
make this act your own by a great %outpouring of gifts to
tapayaforathis first cargo of food andsto follow it with others.
We appeal - all the churches in America that have been
! the repositories of the saeredsidealst Of our nation; we ap-
peal to the thinking and working classes Of our 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, as He has given you happy homes
and laughing children, as He has been merciful to YOU,
have mercy upon these, His people,
@ LITERARY standing shoulder to
shoulder and heart to heart with you in this urgent task,
will start the fund with its own contribution Of $4,000 to
help feed these starving f~ugitives. And how we urge all
who read these words to send a perfect storm of checks to
provide food, and shelter, and medical care for the half
million sufferers in this awful inferno Of the Near East.
They can never repay you-those homeless ones, those
tortured women and pihful7 children. You will never see
them face to face, nor look into their eyes shining with
gratitude-never? Yes, PERHAPS YOU.WILL. But
now, the blessed Christ bids you give, and He viii repay,
TOR i was He who said. DO good and lend, hoping for
Il, nothing again, and your reward shall BE great, andye shall
