The , Ited Cross hall doue aud itt doing a jnaem orgble work u? our toy* in Khaki and for the wtricfceu pfgnkx of ltW|iui^ aud Frauee. Surely everyone eau spare the small pittance neccH*ary to enroll uuder the banner of such a splendid organi sation. Rck?w 1m given the appeal of Presi* dent Wilson to the American people : i ?'To the American People: One year ago twenty-two million Americaus. hy enrolling us members <>f the Hed Cross at Christina* time, scut to the h?en who were fighting our battles overseas a stim ulating message of cheer and good will. They made it clear that our people were of their owu free choice ' united with their government in the , determination not only to wage war with the Instru ments of destruction, but also by every moans- in their power , to repair the rav ages of the invader and sustain and renew the spirit of the army and of the homes whieb they represented, The frienda of the American Red Cro?8 In ttHly?H Itelglum, and France havetold, and will tell again, tbe story of how the fted Cross workers restored morale in the hospitals, in the camps, and at the cantonments, and we ought to be very proud that we have been permitted to be of service to those whose suffering* and whose glory are the heritage of humanity. "Now, by (iod's grace, the Red Cross Christmas message of 1918 is to be a message of peace as well as a message of good wiH. Hut peace does not mean , that we can fold our hands. It. means further sacrfice. Our membershop must hold together and be increased for the great tasks to eotno. We must prove conclusively to an attentive world that Americu is permanently aroused to the deeds 'of the nearer*, our old iucliffer j ence gone forever. "The exact nature of the future ser vice of the Red f)ross will depend upon the programme of the associated govern ment^ but there- ia immediate need to day for every heartening word and for every helpful service. We must not for get that our sodiers and our sailors are still under orders and atlW have duties to perform of the highest consequence, and that the Red Cross Christmas mem bership means a great deal to them. The p&Sple.of the saddened la ndty more over, returning home today where there are no homes must have the assurance that the hearts of mir people are with jthem in the dark . and doubtful days ahead. Let us, ho far as we can, help them back to faith in mercy and in future happiness. f J ? "As President of the Red Cross, con scious in this great hour of the value of such a message from the American people, I should be glad if every Ameri can would join the Red Cross for 1610, and thus send forth to the whole human family the Christ mas greeting for which It waits and for whi<4i it stands in greatest need.
