the lonely and forlorn, and those upon
whose backs are great burdens.
"And I wish I could put into my
voice a note Of human appeal that
might reach those who live upon
lonely promontory of selfshnesS and
forgetfulness and ask them to come
with you and me down into the great
valleys Of human need, where men,
women and children are crying out to
US in pathetic voices not to desert them
and not to forget them.

stand today before these cold hearts.
and are beating on their doors asking
them to come with us and serve in this
great cause, which is the cause that in

men, women and children. Nations die
without this faith.
