THE HEROISM OF MERCY
By OPIE READ
maamm*aK3Hszaa* There is no greater heroism than the
heroism of mercy. There is no truer
" bravery than the bravery of tenderness.
Out of the crash of nation against nation
arises a Christ-like sympathy, and the
Ipp-Jferi. insignia of its tenderness is the cross of
red. It is the only remaining glow of a
Christian hope. It is religion under
Jgifr shell fire. It is a sigh set to the music
Jk *. of sympathetic action. If a man who
* speaks truth should say to you, “With
— l nw*—*"*■■■* the use of five dollars you can save a
useful life, alleviate a hundred nights of pain, ’ you would
grant him the money. You would not feel that you had
lost, but gained.
This is what the Red Cross says to you: “Give of your
safe and secure substance and I will sooth pain. I gather
up men, heroes who have been shot to the earth, and housing
them I will nurse them back to life. For myself I ask no
recompense. My reward is my conscience. My applause is
restoring man to his family.”
Hearing these words and feeling that they are true,
would you hesitate to open your purse, whose contents were
gathered in times of peace ?
The Red Cross appeals to you personally. To you it
opens its merciful heart and begs you for assistance. The
cutting down of one luxury a day would mean a soothing
tenderness on the red fields of France.
George Washington
Was Not Mentioned
Youthful French Orator Seemed to Think Lafayette Was
Really the Father of This Country.
By DR. ESTHER LOVEJOY.
What Is the attitude of the French
people toftard 'the Americans? The
French are a very polite people, and,
no matter what their inmost thoughts
may be, they are not.likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary, llut the children of
all the world are guileless. They can
he depended upon to express in public
the private opinions of their parents.
Tlie children of France are crazy about
Americans in uniform, so we guess
what their parents feel for us.
On one occasion 1 was pissing a pub
lic school with another Ited Cross wo
man physician in uniform and a
French visiting nurse. The school had
just been dismissed, and a group of
young boys came trooping out. In
stantly we were surrounded, and after
a second’s parley a young Mirabeau of
about twelve years, the spokesman of
tlie group, stepped forward, bowed
formally and delivered an address on
Lafayette and America, which was
punctuated h.v the applause of his ad
miring compatriots. The American
Eaglet could not possibly have scream
ed louder in the United States on the
Fourth of July than it did on that back
street of a munition town in France.
Washington Not Mentioned.
There seems to be some difference
of opinion on the relative importance
of certain historic characters connect
ed with the American Revolution.
SAVIOURS
By ANGELA MORGAN
Yours is the daring skill to tread n.
The waters of a world at war; 1
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are, * .
Courage and comfort, like a star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God is thrilling in your tone:
“Brothers, the ship is not alone; x '
Be not afraid!”
Ye are the Christs of this black hour.
The Great Physician come ag^n,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast;
Ye bind her bruised and broken soul;’
The sick, the maimed and the oppressed—
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unroll
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies.
With visions of an age new born, *
Ye bid the dead arise! ♦-
O World, that walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is crucified
After the thousand, thousand years—
See yet that Christ is not denied!
Lafayete «s in separately associated in
the mind of young France with tlie
United States and all it stands for.
George Washington wasn't mentioned.
According to tlie Juvenile French
version, Lafayette saved America.
This was the most glorious achieve
ment in the history of the world. Sin
gle handled and alone Lafayette sowed
the see.Js of liberty In the United
States liiat has spread from the At
lantic to. the Pacific and Bred the souis
of a hunidred million people. When the
American colonies were in a death
struggle, with tlie Hanoverian monster
on the throne of England the Ilohen
zollerns. and Hessians and Hindenburg
ers and, all the H's representing Hell
on Earth in ttwt day and generation
Lafayette crossed the ocean on a slow
sailing ship—so slow, so slow for so
swift a soul—and saved America. And
now, affter 140 yenrs, the hosts of
America, a million strong, are return
ing that historic visit for the purpose
of repaying the debt of gratitude.
To suiy that the audience followed
the speaker would be understating the
case. Tlsey all seemed familiar with
tlie speech, and their applause fre
quently anticipated its climaxes. Good
feeling was rampant. We shook hands
with all tlie youngsters within reach,
and as we turned the corner we looked
hack,' and they gave us a final “Vive
l’Anierlqua!"
