Cross,” Urges Vice President Curtis America’s prominent citizens join In urging all men and women to become members of tbe Red Cross during the period of the annual roll •call from Armistice Day to Thanks giving Day. The Honorable Charles Curtis, Vice President of the United States, says: “The American Red Cross is in a position to and does more to relieve those stricken by misfortune than any other organization in the world. Its splendid v.-ork has done much to bring a frfenxily feeling in all parts of the world for the people of our country because they sustain the < American Red Croso. This wonderful organization is entitled to the liberal support of our peo ple.” The Honorable Andrew W. Mel lon, Secretary of the Treasury, says: “No one can predict when or where disaster may occur or acute emergency arise.' The American Red Cross represents our commu nity insurance against such misfor tunes. The organization stands ready at all lime« to render speedy reliei| to any stricken area in our own country or to assist in the re lief of disaster in foreign countries.

In America. Relief was given by the American Red Cross during the year in six for eign nations in disasters ranging from a tidal wavo in Newfoundland, an earthquake in Persia, floods in France to help for refugees from Russia and prevention of a smallpox epidemic in Costa Rica. The ,$5,pp0 Red Cross contribution to Newfoundland, following the tidal wave, which took twenty-six lives and destroyed many hemes and llshing boats, was the first from an outside country to reach the distressed people. The sum cf $5,000 was given to the fund for the rolief of the Mennonite refugees of German descent, who had ucie.rmhied to leave Russia for new lands. About 13,000. passed through Germany, where the German Red Cross, aided by Red Cross societies cf >Lher nations, helped them. The ma- jjrity are being transported to new countries in tho western world and the American Red Cross has transmit ted contributions from individuals hi this country.

NINETY DISASTERS CALL FOR RED GROSS RELIEF, AT GOST OF $1,200,000 Vice Chairman Fieser Cites Read iness to Act of National Soci ety, Which Lessens Loss of Life—3.500 Chapters Aid in Work. Readiness to act in an emergency, should a disaster strike, has become part of the Red Cross Chapter pro gram in thousands of communities. The need for this training of local committees was revealed last year, when more than ninety communities required disaster relief, work by the Red Cross. As in former years, tornadoes brought the greatest damage. Twenty- four serious tornadoes occurred. Fire also took toll of life and property in twenty-four communities. Seven forest fires did great damage; eighteen areas were affected by floods, and nine storms caused heavy losses. Other disasters were cloudbursts, cyclones, epidemics, mine explosions and ship wrecks. In the insular possessions of the United States the Red Cross gave relief in twelve disasters, chiefly from hurricanes. In foreign countries re lief was given by the American Red Cross in six instances of earthquakes, floods and to refugees. The disaster relief work of the Red Cross cost $1,208,151 last year. Sta tistics showed an approximate death rate of 790 persons In these disasters; buildings destroyed or damaged. 19.578; persons injured, 1,487, and per sons assisted by the Red Cross, 96,872. Through disaster preparedness of Red Cross Chapters, undoubtedly great numbers of lives were saved,* and much distress and grief following the calamities was prevented, according to James L. Ficisor, vice chairman In charge of domestic operations of the Red Cross, “This type of work is supported by the memberships of citizens of the United States, their volunteer contri butions. and their devoted work,” Mr. Fieaer said. “Every man and woman is urged to join as a member cf the local Red Cross Chapter, not only to be a part ner in supporting the work through his membership, but also to serve should an emergency occur.” Life Savers Numerous More than a quarter of a million persons are entitled to wear t!.- American Red Cross insignia, tlonof Jog .Uiey.diave boon taught the export life saving methods af-thd - orljanhra tion.

"In 1924, my health was poor. I felt miserable, and hadn’t r enough strength to dp my house work. It took all my willpower to keep up. I was pale and weak. "I got Cardui again and took it.

Lesson for November 2 SIMON PETER, FROM WEAKNESS TO STRENGTH I.FSSON TEXT—Mark 8:27-29; Luhe 22:31-34: John 18:25-27; 21:15-17. GOLDEN TEXT—Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Weak'Man Be comes Strong. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Weak Man Be comes Strong. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How a Weak Man Became Strong. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—How Christ Gives Strength. I. Peter Confessing Christ (Mark 8:27-29). The'time was near at hand when Christ should make the supreme offer ing of himself for sins on the cross. Knowing the tragic experience through which the disciples would pass be cause of it, lie sought to prepare them for it by leading them into the appre hension of the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith such as: the in tegrity of iris person, atoning death, resurrection, and second coming; Peter’s confession was provoked by two questions of Jesus. 1. “Whom do men say that l am?” Opinions differed, but all recognized bim to be a teacher or a prophet with more than human authority and power. 2. “Whom say ye that I am?” Jesus persistently claimed to be the very Son of God. lie would have his disciples to possess a personal and experiential knowledge of himself as to being God manifest in the flesh. II. Christ Warning Pater (Luke 22:31-34). 1. He told him of Satan’s desire concerning him (v. 31). Satan is con stantly striving to destroy men. . 2. Christ’s prayer for Peter (v 32), He prayed that Peter’a faith fall not, not that he should escape the siftings. 3. Peter’s confidence (v. 33). His fall began when he refused to listen to Christ’s words about the cross. Believers. begin to weaken when they ho longer desire to hear about Christ crucified. 4. Denial announced (v. 34). This was to take place tjiree times before the crowing of tbe cock. III. Peter Denying His Lord (John 18:25, 27). 1. Before the servant maid (vv. 15-18). Peter blundered In attempting to follow Jesus at this time (John 13:36). Presumptuous boldness frequently leads into embarrassing positions. Un der the taunt of the Jewish maid he openly denied the Lord. 2. Before the servants and offi cers (v. 25). Peter was now warming himself at the enemy’s fire. When questioned, he denied his relation to the Lord. Sep aration from everything that is op posed to the Lord k; necessary in order to have a clear testimony (II Cor. 6:14-18). 3. Before the kinsman of Malchus (v. 26). This man had seen Peter with Jesus in Gethsemane (v. 10) when Peter rashly cut off the ear of Malchus. He put the question straight to Peter, “Did I not see thee in the garden with him?” At the utterance of the third denial, the cock crew, reminding Peter of Christ’s warning (Mark 14:72). IV. Peter's Restoration (John 21:15-17). Peter hud thrice denied his Lord. Therefore, before his reinstatement In tbe Lord’s service he-must thrice confess* bis love for Jesus. In this reinstatement and commission of Peter is set forth the motive an(T'nat.ure of tbe service which 'has Christ’s ap proval in oil times. Love for Christ, not primarily, .love for the sheep, proves the genuine shepherd. 1. “Feed my lambs.” The word “feed” as well as “lambs” signifies that the work here enjoined is that of nurturing babes in Christ. 2. “Feed my sheep.” The word here means to feed, guide, correct, and lead Hie maturer classes of Christians. It carries with it not alone responsibility of feeding, but cor rective discipline. Failure in evitably follow If this be al'empted without love. 3. “Feed my sheep.” This doubtless relates to the care of aged Christians. The word “feed” re turns somewhat to the meaning as in tbe first instance where he says, “Feed my lambs,” so that the min ister’s responsibility to care for the aged is equivalent to that of the young. Peter was to express devotion to Christ by a martyr’s death. In God’s Husbandry Heart troubles in God’s husbandry are not wounds, but the putting in of the spade before planting the seeds.— IT. W.
