godliness. Willing to work. but unable
to procure it, is the unhappy plight of
many unfortunate men and women, the
victims of this sad day Of depression,
who piteously cry out to us out Of the
despair of the night saying, help US,
pity us, for the hand of the depression
rests heavily upon u.s. What shall be
the reward to him who helps, to him
who would lift this burden by gen.
erous act of charity? He will be
brought closer to the stars and catch
glimpse Of heaven.
Sees Infinite Riches.
Gas Papini says, The Great Poor Man
in the day of his glory will, as justice
dictates, reward every one with His
inmate riches. He who has given a
little life to the poor will have life for
ever: he who has left the poor in pain
will himself be in pain. And then the
bare sky will be pcopled with other
more powerful suns, with stars flaming
more brightly in the heavens and there
will be q new heaven and a new earth
for those who helped the poor and the
chosen of God who were known to the
poor will live not as we live now, but
in the likeness of angels in happiness
and Joy forever"
ITO those who refuse to help in this
handsome enterprise OF charity, let me
quote the words of Newton D. Baker:
The saddest people in the United
States when this Winter is over will
not be those who nearly starved; it
will not be those who nearly froze: It
will not be those who were evicted
from their humble houses or tenements;
the saddest people, those who will hide
from their fellowman, will be those who
have to admit that In such moment
they did not do their share.
Shall we live cabined and confined
within ourselves and refuse to help?
Have we not seen enough of life. its
ups and downs, its stark tragedy with
out feeling that q great duty rests
upon us-a duty backed up the COM
pulsion of conscience and human need
to help to relieve this despair Through
the Community Chest a chance Is Of
fered for kindness, generosity and char
ity to work its spell Of magic on the
hearts and souls of men in q cause
bigger than you and me-the call of
stricken and suffering humanity.
Everlasting Investment.
| Here is a chance, a real chance to
make rare investment in an ever
lasting bank-a bank that neither Bit
| ing rains nor raging storms can destroy.
| To those who turn q deaf ear to our
| appeals, we answer that there is no
| heart so cold that, when it understands
the needs Of the people here, will refuse
to aspire to an act Of ennobling sacri-
fee
TT has been said that the ideal land
would be place where poverty was
| non-existent; where everybody vas rich
and prosperous Let me say to those
who urge this as a philosophy Of life,
that II there were not poor In the
| world there would be no mercy or kind
ness, that the land where poor people
live is the land where all the generous
qualities of the heart express themselves
the qualities of mercy, kindliness, gen.
erosity and charity. If nc Lne lived
In the world but rich people, avarice,
greed and meanness would be the domi-
nant note Of life.
ITO eyes tired from watching and
weeping, to hearts broken by worry, TO
the halt, the lame, the sick, the weary,
the blind and to the hungry, we lift
the torch Of charity. May its beautiful
rays warm the souls of the poor and
the needy in the District Of Columbia.
We fight for men, women and children;
we fight for life and love; we fight for
bread, We fight to keep alive in the
hearts Of men and women the divine
fame OF faith, and go to battle against
the meanest foes Of men--poyerty and
hunger, the wolves of misery. In an
! Swer to the cry Of humanity, we re-
spond to the trumpet call of charity.
Quotes "Green Pastures"
"In play called Green Pastures.
God. feeling lonely. came to the earth
to rescue his people from the pagan
pleasures which held them in bondage.
Beholding a faithful follower standing
alone, fighting the Lords battles, God
asked this lone defender how he came
to take up the cudgle for his Lord and
Master. The defender of God replied,
Because / believe in the Lord And
then the good Lord said, But how did
you find Me?' I found you,' replied
he, through sorrow and suffering
who knows but that in the provi-
dence Of God, we shall find ourselves
by helping those who sorrow and suf-
fer. Who knows but that in this small
way, through charity, we shall find that
| reward and compensation which will
bring with 1t our own redemption.

| life that God does not take cognizance
of. Therefore, through and by an act
Of charity, we can make it a mighty
force in removing the barriers that
block our way to everlasting life.
Therefore, to those who wish to lift
themselves out of the Valley Of Indif-

and happiness, we ask that they go
with us along the high road OF charity
| which Is the road that one must tread
who wishes to gather strength, refresh
ment and renewal In preparation for
that longer journey which brings us to
the stars, to heaven and to God"
