Robert Treat.
The following resolution has been
adopted by the general committee
in charge Of the drive:
Whereas, our hearts have been
moved by the tales Of Jewish misery
brought to our attention and our
consciences have been aroused TO
the clear obligation that rests ON
every jew to answer that cry OF the
100000 Jewish orphans calling TO us
to be rescued from destitutlon and
utter wretchedness and given a
chance to grow up into normal jew
ish manhood and womanhood; TO
hasten to the relief of the sick
among our people who are languish-
ing in hospitals without beds, with
out fuel, without nurses, and with
out medicines; to restore nome 10
the homeless wanderers whose
dwellings were destroyed by furious
armies or beastial mobs and who
now rove the wildernesses of East
erali Europe like wild animals; ana,
in general, to make possible the
gradual resumption of normal eco
nomic life by which, without loss OF
self respect, our people in those re-
ions may lift themselves out of their
present state of misery and dejec-
ton: therefore
1--WE, being representative BODY
of Jews of Perth Amboy, do hereby
resolve to exert ourselves to the ut
most to raise and to exceed the
quota of $4,000 which has been as
signed to the Jewry of Perth AM
boy as its share of the $14, 100000
fund being raised in this country for
the relief of our brethren abroad,
and we call upon our fellow Jews in
this community. at the cost of what
ever self-denial or sacrifice 1t may
demand, to contribute ungrudingly
all that it is possible for them to
give to the cause of our afflicted
people"
