THERE is only one way to give to the Red Cross
give till your heart says stop. A little contribu
tion is only a salve to pride.
This is not to say that contributions of only one
dollar, or even of only one nickle, are not desired
and needed.
For you to give $5 when you can give $25 for
you to give $25 when you can give $100, or to give
$100 when you can give $500 is to dodge the heavi
est obligation this war has laid upon you. -
For remember, this is not a charity: this is a
duty.
This is not a time to give because others give.
This is a time to give because others need.
No man can tell how much you ought to give.
Except this: that "Over There" the need is so great
that only by cutting to the quick, only by giving all
that you think you can give and then more only by
giving not a little of your excess but much of it
only by taking from ycur own children and from
your wife and from yourself, can the needs of the
men who are fighting for you and the needs of the
children of the men who have died for you be met.
Ask your own soul how much it should be!
