Another Call for Help.
And this time it comes for
the relief of the ancient peo
ple of Bible lands, who are try
ing hard to re-establish them
selves but who cannot even
save themselves from starva
tion until another harvest can
,be gathered, unless they be
'helped to do sc. In Addition
Jto the hundreds of thousands
of adults who must be helped
[to help themselves, they tell us
there are two hundred and fif
ty thousand helpless and home
less little orphan children a
mong this people, that are be
ing cared for in orphanages,
supported by the liberality of
those who care to save such
children from death and de
gradation.
Relief for these suffering and
distressed millions of our fel
low mortals must come, of
course for the present, largely
from America, “the land of
plenty,” rather than from their
neighboring bankrupted na
tions of Europe. Their sad
state appeals to our sympathy
and sense of brotherly kindness
and our “plenty and to spare”
“too many drives,” some say,
and will try to excuse them
selves from doing anything on
that plea. Well, there may be
too many calls—l could not be
sure about that, but one thing
I am sure about is that there
are too many among us who j
are coveteous and selfish, coldj
hearted and unsympathetic and
are very much like Dives of
old in their attitude toward
suffering humanity as God, in
His providence, permits their
cases to be laid at their gates
from time to time. The Lord is
bringing to us many opportuni
ties now-a-days for making of
our money a blessing rather
than, through selfishness, to al
low it to curse us.
Fellow citizens, listen to me
please while I tell you that a
movement is now on all over
the country to relieve the des-
perate needs of these ancient
people of Bible lands, who havej
been so cruelly persecuted as
Christians and shamefully mis
treated as a people. This is
known as “Near East Relief”:
and all the expense of raising
the millions asked for is being
paid by a wealthy man of our
' country, who has been over
! there and seen for himself.
SI.OO Per Year.
I was finally prevailed upon
to consent to try organize the
county for raising the sum of
five hundred dollars. I have
been sick for two weeks and
this effort is being made now
at some disadvantage on that
account. A good man has
been asked to serve as chair
man in each_district of the
county and a reasonable a
mount alloted to each district
Being unable to get out and
attend to this important mat
ter by giving it more of my per
sonal attention, allow me,
please, through this means, to
appeal citizen to re
spond when called upon and
let us raise every dollar of the
$500.00 asked for. I am doing
this work without one cent of
compensation and expect to do
my part in the way of a con
tribution beside.
Yours sincerely,
Chas. T. Brown,
County Organizer.
