The Proposed and Postponed Meet
ing.
* The meeting planned for the first
Tuesday. in February was postponed
to the first Tuesday in March, that
being Trade Day. And now we are
recalling the notice sent to chair
man all over the county. But please
do not be disgouraged. We shall try
again. -
We were to have had a meeting
at 11 A. M., especially for farmers
and business men from other towns;
and another meeting at night, es
pecially for men working in factories,
merchants, clerks, ete.
We had arranged for and secured
an army band. A French scldier and
an English soldier from the front,
each was to tell us the story of the
battle with the Madman of Europe.
Mr. Nolan and Mr. Stephens of the
Atlanta office were on the program.
We knew that such a meeting would
stir dormant patriotism to action.
Out of courtesy for the magical
word Red Cross this meeting is called
off. 3 : |
The Program’s Message.
But shall not the very effort to
reach people carry its influence? The
zeal of one person may set fire to
another, A vision of the willingness
of others to serve the country shouid
lead people to know that there must
be great need.
This Frenchman has lived and
fought in the trench; this English
man has offered his life there for the
world’s sake. Our men are doing the
same thing. Ought we not to do our
best to send them what they need,
to deny ourselves luxuries and to be
careful of food? Ought we not to
be willing to lend our savings to the
government that our men may be
properly equipped for fighting?
And could you hear Mr. Nolan pic
ture the desolation brought about by
this Desperado of Europe, your heart
would beat faster, and you would
icng for the chance to make one great
stroke to rid the world of the Pest.
" These men who are speaking in
the interest of our men and of us,
have given up business and invested
their time in the cauntry’s cause.
Shall all these sacrifices be in vain,
or shall they stir us to action?
~ And what shall we do? Invest what
we can in these War Stamps; tell
others about them; show those who
do not know that they are safe and
