American Society to Celebrate Its Birth Year With Nation wide Observance Tornadoes, floods, forest fires and other calamities and upheavals of na ture have visited the United States more than one thousand times in the last half century. AU of these were of severe intensity, causing loss of life and great property damage. Minor catastrophes were not counted in this list of disasters, which has been made public by the American Red Cross, in connection with the cele bration this year of its fiftieth birth- day ' # ' It was oh the evening of May 21, 1881, in the modest home of Miss Clara Barton in Washington, D..C., that the American Association of LbeBed Cross was first formed. Before the year was ^out. and before, indeed, the United States Government had officially moved to approve the Treaty of Geneva, adding this nation to the com pany, of thirty-two others adhering to the treaty to protect wounded in war- —life mid Intelligence gone, leaving only the thick empty cavern which fare.

This was In th(T north woods of Michigan, where forest tires swept the homestead farms of pioneering fam ilies. Miss Barton, as president of the Red Cross, had organized a branch in Dansvllle, New York, where she was sojourning. This little group imme diately raised money, food, clothipg and other supplies and sent them to the forest fire victims. In Rochester and Syracuse. New York, nearby, word ftpread-w«*4hi«~cUariULble voter prise, and Red Cross auxiliaries were organ ised there to help. So began the disas ter relief work of the Red Cross fifty years ago. .In the intervening years x millions of men. women and children 'have been aided. Thousands of homes have been restored. Thousands of persons, overwhelmed by floods, tor- nadoes, and fires until all they pos sessed had been wiped away, have been rehabilitated and prosperity and happiness again t. mi led upon them. This year has been dedicated by the Red Cross and its chapters in 3,500 communities to commemoration of the events which led to the birth of the society in the United Statea. President Hoover Speaks The celebration of the anniversary was Inaugurated In Washington at a dinner, attended by many distin guished men and women, at which Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes presided, and President Hoover, who is the president of the American Red -Cross., was the chief speaker. Judge Max Huber of Geneva. Switzerland, the president of the International Com mittee of the Red Cross, in which fifty- seven nations are joined in a Red Cross brotherhood, also was a speaker, as were Chairman John Barton Payne of the American Red Cross, and Miss Mabel T. Board man, secretary, and veteran leader of tbe society. Tbe Red Cross standard, which flies all around tbe world where mercy is needed, was first introduced as an ideal in our modern' civilization in ra in 1864. when the international Tosyfojfirention. afterward to be known as the Treaty of Geneva, was signed by twelve countries agreeing that on the battlefield tbe wounded should be given aid by doctors, nurses and others, who should wear the siga of 'the Red Cross, and be treated -as neutrals in the warfare. i ' Two Americans attended this first convention, the American Minister George C. Fogg, and Charles S. P. Bowies, representative In Europe of the Urfiltd States Sanitary Commis sion, a* volunteer organization of sym pathizers with the North in our Civil War. Facts they gave resulted in adop tion of some of the American ideas. Returning to the United States, Fogg and Bowles sought recognition of tbe Geneva Treaty, but tbe Grant admin istration took no Interest. Under Hayes, the same lethargy was en countered. ^ - Clara Barton Founder . But there had emerged from the Civil War period a middle-aged woman who had seen much service on the battle fields around Washington. This was Clara Barton. Ill health caused her to make a trip to Europe ia 1369. There she became Interested In the Red Cross idea, and joined a unit which saw service in the Franco-Prussian war. -Upon her return home, she launched ap active campaign for the treaty, but met the same opposition as her predecessors. However, Presi dent Garfield, when- he came jnto of fice. recognized the merits of the movement, and when death by assassi nation removed him, his successor, President Arthur.DTiight approval by the U. S. Senate of -the treaty. Thus was consummated a ’seventeen-year fight in this nation for a humanitarian ideal. Clara Barton was recognized as the society's founder and was Its presi dent for twenty-three years. She died in 1912 at the age of 90 years. It is not' generally thought of, but the flag so familiar in eWry civilized natibu as the emblem of the Red Cross, c simple derivation. Because *he originator of the 'movement, Henri Th. Power dT'GoJ ' The power pf God is available pew-- fionant, was a .Swiss, and the first treaty to protect wounded iu battle was drafted and signed in Switzerland, the flag of that Republic—a white cross upon a red background—was reversed; and the Red Cross .came into being. once c-ontained them.* Jesus was not crucified in the dp for. Ivg* waa "to suffer without the gate (Heb. 13:12). II. His Companions on the Cross (v. 33). ’ Two malefactors were •crucified with (dtp. This was iu fulfillment of the Scripture, “lie was numbered among the tnuisgressonT '(Isa. . r ktel2). He was sinless, but became aln {or u»: III. Hia Forgiving Lov# (v. 3D. He cried. “Father forgive them."* He not only had ill mind the soldiers who adea for the government, ’bht the Jews why in their blindness were ignorant of the enormity of their crime. IV. Th« World Rsveal.d (vv. 31 ~4.'t). Jesus Christ on the cross Is the su preme touchstone of Immaij life. It Is at the cross (list the world's heart is re\e»led. Take n cross section of tbe world at an> time since Christ was crucified, and representative* of the varhma etasses therein were found around Jesus on the cross. In a real sense the cross Is the Judgment of this world (John 12:31). 1. The Covetous (y. 34). They gambled for Ida seamless robe right under the cross where he was dying. Tlds represents those whose primary Interest in Christ is a means to get gain. If they had had eyes to see they could have beheld a robe of righteous ness being provided in his death to cover their sinful nakedness. 2. The Indifferent (v. .*C»). “The people stood beholding.’’ They gazed upon him with indifference. The great mass of the world still gazes upon the Crucified with stolid Indifference. 3. The acirfTers (vv. 33-31H. a. The rulers reviled him for his. j claim to l»e the Savior (v. .TV). Tjtey wanted a savior hut not a crucified sa- vlur. Many today are religions hut have only contempt for a salvation which centers In an atonement made by blood. They uttered a great truth when they salt!, ‘He saved other*, let him save himself.** He could not save ■^lIUIsWF iWfR 1 iWien-ff was to save others by giving himself. b. The soldiers reviled him for claiming to he a king (vv. 3t».'37). The title “King of the Jews" had been placed over him In hitter irony, hut It was true, for by right of the Davidic. Covenant he shall one dRy lie King over Israel (II Sam. 7:8-1ti), Through his death lie came into the'place of Lordship over all who w!.M acknowl edge him. 'Hie fact that the super- scription was <in Gre -k. Hebrew, and Latin shows that he'wa* to he King over all the-world.- c. The impmitent malefactor (v. 3Pi. This hruial man joined in revil ing the Savior, even though he per sonally w as uuder comletn tint ion. 4. The penitent malefactor (vv, 40- 431. This conscious sinner who dis cerned the heart of the Savior prayed for mercy. He saw that the dying man was the forgiving God. The fact that lie acknowledged ld\ sin as against God showed that he was penitent. His request foa Christ to remember him when he came into his kingdom shows that he recognized that the One who was dying on the cross was making atonement for sin and that he would one day come to reign as King. 'The salvitrion of this penitent thief was immediate. Christ said, *’Today shall thou lie with me in paradise.” V. The Death of Chriat (vv. 44-40.) So shocking was the.criine that na-"' tore herself threw around tUe Son of God a shropd to hide him from the godless crowd. Darkness was ti|*on the land at noonday. When tbe price of sin had been I he cried' willi a loud voice, showing'' that lie'still had vitality, that his deatlt was ’not through exhaustion .but by his will.
