"GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY"
INDORSED BY COOLIDGE
Sixty-Five Nations to Join in Move
to Aid War and Famine
Orphans in Near East.

President Coolidge indorsed plans
for the third anual observance OF
Golden Rule Sunday. December 6, in
letter TO the Near East Relief, made
public today. SiXty-five nations of the
world are expected to participate in
the coming observance The purpose
is to promote international goodwill
and to center attention on the need Of
the war and famine orphans in the
near East.
The President wrote: The reports
of the observance of international
Golden Rule Sunday last year in 80
countries, and its far-reaching results
in the training of orphans in the Near
East have been of great interest to
me. This expression OF brotherhood
inevitably has a beneficial influence
upon those who give as well as those
who receive.
"As practical help is the best express
sion of friendship, 1 feel that the aid
which we may give out Of our pros
perity to those impoverished by war
may be of the utmost value in the
promotion of international good will
The consistent observance of Golden
Rule Sunday cannot but help to bring
about the application of the Golden
Rule itself to the misunderstanding
of nations and of individuals.
Il earnestly hope that the voluntary
observance of this day may become
increasingly prevalent in the homes Of
America and throughout the world"
