Master said Woe unto you that full! for yc shall

TO save and to comfort. You will now respond in
Stany to this call. What The Digest has done while
waiting to tell you the facts has been done in utter

the Near East Relief the Y NJ c. A. and the Y. W. c. A.

emergency, and no funds were then available, dis
counted our faith in you and borrowed the $4,000
and bought the entire food cargo of the ClOntarf. We
told the committee to keep on buying other shipoads
of food until the pfu need was satisfied. 'He gives
twice who gives quickly" and we confidently de-
pending upon you tomake this act your own by great
oupourlng of gifts to pay for this first cargo of food
and to follow il with Others We appeal to all the
churches in America that have been the repositories
of the sacred ideals of our 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, as He has given you
happy homes and laughing children, as He has been
nercllui to YOU nave mercy upon these, His people.
The Literary Digest 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 fugtives. And now we urge
all who read these words to send perfect storm of
checks to provide food and shelter and medical care
for the half million sufferers in this awful inferno of

They can never repay you-those homeless Ones.
those tortured women and pful children. You will
never them face to face look into their eyes
shining with graude-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 ye shall be the Children of the Highest.
