Duty to Give Wisely.
DR.. Oliver ]. Hart, rector. st. Johns
Church, believe in the Community
Chest because believe that 1t Is our
duty not only to give but to give wisely.
I know of no magic way Of throwing
dollar in the air and having it reach
q real need. I am convinced that
every cent given to chance beggars
would be more wisely spent by
Community Chest agency. The
Budget Committee of the Chest Is
composed Of 80 of our most able and
public-spirited men and women who
serve without pay. I might differ
with their judgment at times because
of my particular interest in some
field but then I remember that they
have a much more comprehensive pic
ture of all the needs than I have.
Furthermore. 1 know that they try
to base their decisions on where the
greatest need is this year."
Dr.. Abram Simon, rabbi, Washing
tor Hebrew Congregation-"The Com
munity Chest in Washington has
had several years of experiment. We
have discovered to our utmost salts
faction that the Chest Is the most
economical and scientific method, not
only of financing the relief needs OF
community agencies, but also OF uni
flying the philanthropic interests and
| emotions of men and women Of all
religious denominations and social
classes. Inasmuch as no other type
of organization has been suggested,
adequate enough to meet the above re-
quirements, we are proud to continue
the Community Chest along the best
approved lines. and we urge our people
that their whole-hearted efforts unite
to make the Community Chest this
year an even greater financial sue
cess that it has been in the past.
You need the Community Chest as
a communal institution, even as the
poor require the Chest for the salts
faction of their material wants"
Gifts Must Be Increased.
Rev. J. Luther Frantz. pastor, st.
Marks Lutheran Church: The Com
munity Chest is again appealing TO
the people OF Washington for funds.
The requirements of the IS agencies
will be greater this Winter than ever
before, we are told. 1t is plainly evi-
dent, therefore. that an increase in
our giving will be needed. The people
Of Washington are favored In many
ways and they are liberal This will
be another opportunity for those of
us who have more of this worlds
goods to share with those less for
tunate. Let's not ask. Shall I give?'
but rather, How much can I give" ~
DR.. R. H. Miller. pastor, The Ma
tional City Christian Church: In
Washington the employed are more
fortunate than those of any other city
, and the unemployed more unfortunate.
The prosperity of the major portion
of our citizens makes the need and
suffering of the dependent more dis
stressing and appealing. Among
American cities Washington should
maintain the highest level in the gen.
erosity Of citizens for the Community
Chest. The Nation looks toward
Washington for leadership 1t is un-
thinkable that at the Nations Capital
there shall be any one who is hungry
or cold or homeless"
