LET AMERICANS LEAD THE WAY.

Sunday, December 2, the first
Sunday after our national
Thanksgiving Day, has been
proclaimed throughout the world
as international Golden Rule
Sunday for the special purpose
of making generous and prac-
tical application for one day of
the Golden Rule for the benefit
of the hundred thousand home
less orphans of the Near East.
On this day, when families
gather for what is usually the
most united family circle and
the most bountiful dinner of the
week, every family is asked to
think of the hungry orphan chill
dren in the Near East and to
share with them the bounty God
has given.
One Of two ways is suggested;
First, that the usual Sunday din
ner of several courses and many
delicacies be given up for this
one day, and that all the family
join the children Of the Near
Fast in a simple meal, costing as
their meal costs, an average of
four cents for each person, and
that the difference between this
cost and the cost of the usual
Sunday dinner be given as con.
tribution and thank offering for
the purchase of food for the or
phans of the Near East; or, sec
ond, that, if the usual bountiful
Sunday dinner is served, the to-
tai cost be reckoned and the diff
ference between that and the
four-cen5 meal be given.
How little a thing to ask; how
little a thing to give ! Is there
anywhere in this prosperous
land one family who would re-
fuse Is there one family who
can dine in comfort and abund-
ance and be satisfied to stop with
this little indulgence in the prac-
tice of the Golden Rule T? How
many would prefer to extend it
also to share in the cost of
gasoline for an automobile trip,
tickets for theatre, and many
other indulgences, not for a sin
gle day, but for a whole week +?
This special Golden Rule din
ner offering is needed to meet
the emergencies of the moment.
1t will not suffice for longer-sup-
port Of the Near East work.
The regular Christmas offerings
and annual monthly subscrip-
tons are imperatively needed as
well, and cannot safely be di.
minished. But for this one day,
December 2, let there be a uni
versal demonstration of inter
national fraternity, good will
and sharing in full and glad ODE
dience to the Golden Rule, and
let Americans lead the way. We
appeal to all our readers to join
with the same noble unstint!ng
spirit they have ever shown in
responding to the call of the
children.
When you sit down to your
Golden Rule dinner next Sunday
you will be sitting down to a
meal in common with the whole
world, for the event is interna
tional. President Coolidge and
former President Wilson lead
those who will observe it; King
George, OF Great Britain, and
King George, of Greece, are
among the notables abroad who
win partake of the simple menu.
