Interesting items taken from the

GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY
WHAT OF 1T AND WHY?

In the autumn of 1923 an interna-
tional group of social workers, meet
ing in Geneva, Switzerland, expressed
despair of educating the world to the
better day of brotherhood through the
customary perSuasionS of war and dip
lomacy. Yet the aim was so infinitely
to be desired! Could the persuasion
of the Golden Rule be made effective?
If on an appointed day, say the first
Sunday in December, the whole world
should sit at common table, eat
bread and salt, think of the hungry
and the sorrowing and make a dona-
ton for their aid, would not great
advance be made in practical rei-
gion?
The idea fired the Imagination OF
the world. Presidents, kings and pre-
mierS; the Pope, religions leaders and
Patriachs; powerful inanciers, in1u-
entail statesmen, educators, labor
leaders, approved and led friends and
followers to community of thought
and feeling such as this old round
earth has never known. On the third
anniversary of international Golden
Rule Sunday flfty-three countries
united in its observance and contribu-
ted to the Near East Relief orphans
who are the foremost beneficiarieS.
The day falls on December 2 this
year.
The immediate benefciaries of In
ternational Golden Rule Sunday are
the orphaned children of the Near
East. Their parents were killed or
died of persecution, deportation, ex-
posure or starvation in connection
with the various disasters of the late
war. The children are practically all
under sixteen years of age. All of
them are too young to be thrown upon
their own resources.

of wind by going south. The horde of

blow and Hoover used excellent judg-
ment in choosing the ocean voyage on
