unfortunate people could be brought
home to them. 1t is not much to ask
OF man with job that he give the
price of a quart of milk day to some
Indernourishcd child, or that he deny
himself the cost of soft drink and a
candy bar day to see that some
mother does not deny herself the vital
nourishment of life that her children
might have their full share.
Not Routine Job.
''It is not job to be handled in a
routine manner. You must be fired
with the nobility of your task. Don't
ask your subscribers to set down as
little as they can get away with giving.
Impress upon the importance of giving
all they can Spare-that they must
sacrifice If suffering this Winter is not

can realize that the burdens they have
been carrying can be lightened and
retain their faith in the fullnesS and
goodness of humanity.
"One stands in amaZement at the
spirit of those unfortunates upon whom
has been placed the full burden OF
these troublous times.
I'VE counted it privilege to serve
