these shout ask in vain"
These wrds, the last lines Of a poem
read to o1mpaign workers at yesterdays
Comn1Aity Chest meeting, sent the
army If 5000 campaigners out over the
weeb end with a grim determination to
turn on harder the faltering flow Of
finds that is coming into the Golfers
3f the Chest.
Tagging more than $45o,O00 behind
the pace expected at the outset Of the
campaign, workers we're being asked
today to quicken their drive to the
highest possible pitch, to make this
second Community Chest Sunday a day
of labor for the distressed of the city.
Not Half Way to Goal.
With three-ffths of the campaign
over, and Chest officials determined not
to extend the time of the campaign,
there was slightly less than half of the
money needed to give the unfortunates
of the city their daily bread at the rate
Of $500 for every day of 1888.
There remained ON the black calendar
just 178 days Of the coming year for
which, as yet, there has not been pro-
vided by Washington even a crumb Of
bread or sip of milk for the appealing
little figure of the Commun ty Chest
poster, like whom there are hundreds
in Washington asking:
Give us this day our daily bread"
The gifts that are coming in, it is
noted in an analysis by the Chest, show
that those who are giving, in the main,
or iT1nr acfy ffNefr Crr1fri13frNiav1c de
spite straitened circumstances. This
analysis shows that SlI79,564, or nearly
half Of the amount asked for this year,
has thus far been subscribed By 50062
givers. Last year the Chest total was
S2,419,7 1877 from approximately 10000
givers.
Many Realize Dire Need.
This, Chest of1c.slT pointed cut, in
dicate5 that those uno ere giving are
realizing the actual need for sacrifice
this year if there Is to be no ctarvatioa
and if poverty and distress are to be
minimized
1t also indicates, 1t was pointed out
that ther2 ere larga numbers of peo-
pie in WaShEgson 70 whom the dire
need which Washington faces this year
has not been brought hcme sufficiently.
Speaking to the workers as they
started out on their week end of solicit
ting, Campaign Chairman Newbold
NoyeS said:
Don't let encouragement get into
your hearts. We are turning into the
home stretch and the man or woman
who slows down in the home stretch
is gutter I know there are no quit
tiers among you But you must not
only not slow down. You must put on
a final burst CT energy and win this
race with the grim specter of poverty
and despair"
Churches Asked to Aid.
All churches in Washington have
been asked to again observe Com
munity Chest Sunday today.
In letter to the pastors Of all
churches E. c. Graham, president of
the Chest, asked permission for speakers
from the Chests Speakers Unit to ad-
dress their congregations again today
on the needs of the Chest this year.
In his letter Mr.. Graham stressed
the fact that the Chest faces the clos
ing OF its campaign half a million dol
lars short of its goal unless the people
of the Capital awake to the emergency
that is upon them and provide the
Chest with funds to carry on its work.
He asked that pastors emphasize the
need for contributions from housewives
and children, under the "cents-a-day'
plan.

tary to President Wilson. made an i'm
