 "Never In the history of the world has there been greater need for the observance Of International Golden Rule Week than there iS In this cru. elal year of l94l," said Mir. Yickrey International Golden Rule Week December 7-i4, comes midway be. tween the feast of Thanksgiving when we thank beneficlent Provi- denee for our abundant hnrVeSts and the feasts Of Christmas and New Year, when we sing of Peace or Earth and Good Will to Men.
 Between these feastS those whC are employed, who have an Abund- anee of food. and who believe ir the Golden Rule aSe asked to in. dulgc in rational wholesome fast and to share their substance with some of millions whose harVegti have been fires, bombs and shrapne and for whom there can be Sit Christmas or New Year joys except as VIC practice as well aS preach tn Golden Rule.
 Golden Rule Week Is c test o our religion, of our social ereeds me of our sense of brotherhood. It is [ period for plain living, high think Ing and Saefitieial sharing witf others who are less fortunate. It 1! religion Rt work. Faith wthou works iS dead, creeds without deedI stultify. Profession without practice is hypocrisy.
 "AS q contribution both to house hold economy and the character building program Of the home, ThI Golden Rule Foundation provides { series Of economy menus for usC during Golden Rule Week.

A recognized authority from each country ha been asked to suggest food such a Q refugee mother there would wisl to give her children fl she werr obliged to combine the utmost eco nomy with adequate nourishmen and enjoyment.
 one day or at least one meal 0 Golden Rule Week will be devoted to each Of the war-stricken coun tries. The American public is aSket each day to enter Into fellowship with refugees or other inpovev1sheI citizens of these invaded lands b, partaking as nearly as possible o the same adequate but inexpensiv national dish that the refugees an' citizens Of war areas would wish l. have for their children under nor nal conditions.
 Having in spirit broken bread an entered into fellowship with tn suffering millions of homeless ref ugees, or destitute innocent victim of war, we are asked to contribut at least the difference between tn cost of the frugal menus and ou usual more elaborate food to provid the frugal meal to orphans and ref ugees on Christmas Day and othe days throughout the year.
