THE LIGHT OF GODS LOVE
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Md.

The ligh. of Gods love
To guide us forever on our way;
His presence with us everywhere,
BY night and through the day.
The light of Gods love will give US
hope,
And brighten darkest night;
The heavy burdens tighten,
By His power and His might.
The light of Gods love is never lost;
1t shines Ger land and sea,
An image of our Lord and King
Christ, who died for thee.
The light of Gods love ever shining
On our pathway day by day,
Like a golden crown OF glory,
Lighting up every step of the way.

ARMIsTICE DAY

Sixteen years ago the greatest war
in all history came to sudden
Termination with the cessation OF
hostilities and declaration Of the
Armistice on November IL, 1918.
The hopes of the world for peace
ran high. This was to be The last
war. The Peace Treaty was to be
such a masterpiece of craftsmanship
that all future grounds for war
would be eliminated. Our soldiers
returned from across the seas with
the feeling that they had played a
victorious part in the ending of wars.
But, after sixteen years, what OF
these high hopes? Every nation in
the world is staggering under
crushing burden of taxation 10 main
tain greater armies and navies than
ever before, and just at present
Japan is determined to increase her
armament to the very Unfit
permitted!
Nations cannot train hundreds of
thousands of fighting men and not
create a war party, which will well
come any excuse to put the military
and naval training into practice.
There are circumstances that arise
under which no nation can refuse to
go to war, but those circumstances so
seldom arise, and their consequences
when they do are so disastrous, even
to the victor, that the sober thought
of the whole world is turning more
and more against war as means OF
settling international disputes.
When war was merely glorious
adventure for youthful fighters, it
had romantic appeal, and not the
far-reaching effect upon the rest OF
the population, as in this age with its
yeritable annihilating appliances.
War today touches every man.
woman and child, and we believe we
express the thought Of the vast ma
jority when we hope that our country
shall never again be plunged into it.

THE RED CROSS

The drive for enrolment of mem
bership to the Red Cross opens on
Armistice Day. You are needed.
Every man and woman in America
is invited to join. BY enrolling in
this great Legion of Mercy you will
be represented upon every scene of
distress.
In five years of economic depres-
sion and partial recovery Red Cross
has given direct relief to one out of
every five persons in the United
States.
These were your own fellow citi-
zens-victims of unemployment,
drought, tornado, flood, earthquake
and other causes of distress. In CIV
ing food, clothing, housing, nursing,
medical care, and helping them to a
self-sustaining livelihood, the Red
Cross spent $1S,855,525 and dis
tributed in addition wheat and cot
ton products valued in excess of
seventy million dollars.
President Roosevelt, who is Presi-
dent of the American Red Cross,
says of this humanitarian work:
"The Red Cross is the instrument
of expression of great group OF
Americans who have given gener-
ously for human welfare in times of
distress or emergency. In serving
the Red Cross you are also aiding by
example those similar great causes
for which this nation is daily striv-
ing"
Thousands of children, reached
through Red Cross public health
nurses, have had conditions of NAL
nutrition discovered and checked
that this generation may not pay in
future years for deprivations in
childhood.
Safeguarding the expectant moth
er has been an important work of
Red Cross nurses during these years.
These nurses aided at the birth of
more than 10000 babies and they
also made 1,2S9,O00 visits to or in
behalf of more than 100000 ma
ternity cases.
Sick and disabled veterans and
their dependent families have been
the special charge of the Red Cross
and the recurring problems of hos
pitalization, claims and welfare con-
tinue vital concern.
To lessen accidental deaths and in
juries among workers of the Civil
Works Administration, Emergency
Work Relief Administration, Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
and Civilian Conservation Corps, the
Red Cross trained in First Aid more
than $4,000 men engaged in these
projects throughout the nation.
Mullins have worked in the ranks
of volunteers under the Red Cross
banner during these trying years.
Millions have joined each year as
members, arming the Red Cross to
serve in their names in this battle
against want The annual member
ship dues are one dollar.
Join-your membership is needed!
