WE WHO CANNOT GO SHOULD
FEEL IT A PRIVILEGE TO GIVE
We who cannot go to the front to
fight for our country in this time when
the services of each and every onj
are so much needed, still have the
privilege of helping in many, many’
ways and should not hesitate, nor
wait, but should immediately signify
our willingness to do anything we can.
Considering the amount of mondy
that the women of Americus spend on
clothes, amusements and gasoline, we
are not responding to tbe call of the
American Red Cross in the liberal
manner that might be expected of us.
We in this section of the state have sc
often boasted that we know no poverty
here; that we live in the most favored
section of the state, nay even the
country, and even if we were not ac
tuated by motives of patriotism, ou r
pride should make us now come for-

ward and give, in a measure at least.'
in proportion to the fullness with
which we have been blessed, for our
reputation for prosperity and hospital
ity and for enjoying , the good things
of life has gone abroad.
The deeper, nobler motive, however,’
will surely actuate us in this matte’-,
of doing and giving, if we can but
bring ourselves to actually realize the ■
stern necessity for immediate and un-,
stinted action. Os course we know]
that many of our boys have given
themselves to their country, and are
not among us any more; but still the’
war seems a long way from us. Will
it take the actual loss of some we
know and love to bring the grave sit
uation home to us?
Self denial and giving should be a
blessed privilege to us at this time,
and instead of grudgingly, stintingly
giving what we don’t particularFy need
anyway, would it not be far better and
bigger to practice some definite self
denial and give fully and freely to
our country, and for the comfort and
maybe even 'the life of our boy's?
