What to Do.

OST Of us have idea that if the powers that be
lVN would only listen to us, could tell them what
the trouble is, and, if they would only follow
advice affairs in Europe would soon be cleared up
The difficulty is that we are not in position to be
obeyed
Hence we don't know what to do.
The attitude of France is distressing the conditions
is distressing and for that matter there lot Of dis
tressing things going on all over the world.

everybody, would do it. We do not know what to do;
that is we do not know what practically can be DONE
In this there remains that thing to be done
that we always do the thing that do moth
ing but good.
We can help the children
The outlet for disposition to help along the
world that everybody should take advantage Of is the
movement to relieve the distress of the little ufortunates
Those who took advantage of the International Golden
Rule Sunday on December must feel glow Of salts
FACTION Some of these little ones, at least have benefited
by their help
Those who in their abundance of the good things Of
life, with cake, sweets candies ices, meats and other lux
ureg in plenty about them, denied themselves little
bit and sent money to the Near East Relief to re-
eve the suerings of the children, have not done this
deed in vain They have their reward
Those who for any failed to do this should re-
member that the opportunity is standing one, and
the way is always open.
Avenue New York City, and may rest assured that
every cent that goes there will be applied toward the al
deviation of human suffering.
Meanwhile we should not forget the little children
"who don't belong"
Revolutions and pogroms have driven numbereSs Rus
sian families out of their homes and countries Many Of
them have taken refuge and found temporary and
precarious shelter in Germany and Germany too poor
to help Them and hardly able to feed her children
Mrs. Lamprecht PetschenkO wife of Kurt
IAmprecht, manufacturer and merchant formerly OF
Moscow now of Berlin is in this country devoting untr
ing efforts to support the American Committee for the
Relief and Education of Russian Refugee Children IN
Germany
This committee has been able to give financial support
to about twentone organizations during the past hard
winter, and several of them from total collapse
Thousands of these little homeless strangers are in
Germany They go hungry day after day. We want to
feed them.
They have to walk about in rags We want to clothe
them.
They are living in cellars and novels, like animals We
want to find them shelter fit for human beings
They suffering from diseases Of all sorts We want
to restore them to health.
They are growing up in ignorance We want to edu-
cate them.
One of the horrors that dwels along in the wake of
is the horror of the suffering little children you
don't know what to do you do something to help
them. Such help is never in vain.~
The real practical, and immediate thing you can do
is to send what money you can spare, addressed to
National Committee, q Park Row, New York City.
If after reading about the suerngs Of the world you
have an impulse to help do not let this feeling evapoate
in mere sentiment Do something concrete, and your
sentiment will have helped the world Support the Near
Relief and the Relief for Russian Children in Germany
In this YOU cannot possibly make mistake.
So much of our effort to help is Of doubtful value so
much of our charity seems futile.
But in these two instances you can know positively
that whatever YOU do will be of real value.
