WAR RELIEF

not enough of doing. So many
people are living on a religion
based upon God they have heard
about but never met. Our prob
lem in this hour calls for action.
The parable OF the Good Samari-
tan sums up the situation in our
times. Official religion came down
that road after the man had been
attacked and beaten and thrown
in the ditch to die. The priest
came and saw and walked on and
then came the keepers of the house
of official religion and went OH
their way also. Then the half-breed
came who was not even allowed
the full privileges of the temple
and he saw him and had compass
sion on him. Compassion is the
strongest word in the New Tesla
ment. Compassion is love in ac-
ton" emphasized Mr.. Bair. Com
passion is what the refugees in the
world today need more than just
love. We love them" continued
Rev. Bair, but IL we have compass
sion on them the amount we give
to this cause will be greater.
There will need to be a great
many noble sacrifices in the coming
years" said Rev. Bair, ''for the
suffering will be terrible, even after
peace is made. The refugee will be
problem so long as many of US
live.
I'VE must allow our sentimental
love to come to life and turn our
love into compassion. The day
of just giving God a little small
change that we have no use for
will have to come to an end or what
we call Christianity will come to
an end.
"As we shade our eyes to look
at the world burning today" said
Rev. Bair, I'VE see picture OF
smoke and dirt and debris, and to
the side OF that picture we see
starving, freezing. homeless old
men and women and thousands of
small children who are shading
their eyes looking into the smoking
ruins OF what was once their home
and their country, and by our gifts
here tonight we can develop the
negative a bit more and cause them
to see maybe only clmly. but def
nitely, the new world that is to be
built from the old, which man is
destroying. The picture they see
will depend upon the love and
compassion we have for them
now" concluded Rev. Bair.
Rev. Bair, who substituted for
Dean w. W. Whitehouse, of Wayne
University. was introduced by Rev.
Walter B. Heyler.
The Ypsilanti Male Chorus, d.
rected by Carl Lindegren, furnished
exceptionally fine music.
The meeting was sponsored by
the Council of Church Women and
the Ministerial Association.

There are some very exciting

going on here all the time.

enough so that I got a right to
think I've earned it that they should
let me die in peace at last. Yet I
still get excited and have wear and
tear on the heart"
Mr.. Goldwyn tapped his heart,
feelingly.
THE other night I go with my
wife to a restaurant for dinner" "
he continued. Anywhere else in the
world you go to a restaurant with
your wife for dinner, the most ex-
citing thing that can happen to
you is you get indigestion. But here,
in this town, where the drama is, I
sit there and girl walks in to eat.
my wife taps me on the hand
where I am lifting up my fork.
What a beautiful girl!' she says.
