“Join Red. 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.
The Red Croso“Ts the agency'which
carries on when emergency has dis
rupted customary modes and
means of life in a community.”

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.
Whon Costs Rica was menaced by
a smallpox epidemic, the American
lied thousand tubes of
vaccine,' lu two' alfphmeloads, un
doubtedly ^ving tho country from a
sorioua out hr oak of the dread disease.
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.”

W I think: Cardin is a wonderful
medicine, for I improved greatly
after taking it,” says Mrs. A. W.
English, of R. F. D. 4, Roanoke, {j
Va. "When I was just a girl of
13, my mother gave this medi
cine to me, and it did me a great
deal of good. I was weak and
run-down. After I had taken
Cardui awhile, I felt much better.
"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. My improvement was wonder
ful. I can recommend Cardui to
others, for my health was so
much better after I had taken a
course of the Cardui Home
Treatment.”

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.

Heart troubles in God’s husbandry
