I? if Nothing
to You,
All Ye WJw
, Pass By?
Is it nothing to you?
i
You, who may have debated
.whether to eat another wheatcake
or another egg this morning. You,
whose only knowledge of hunger
is the grumbling of an over-filled
stomach returning to its normal
shape.
Is it nothing to you that babies are
starving are shrinkyig like dried
pods into bags of loose skin and
sharp bones that their poor,
wasted little bodies and spirits are
finding peace only in the grim
arms of Death?
Is it nothing to you that- mothers
and fathers are gasping out their
lives their agony of body in
creased a thousand fold by their
agony of mind the bitter helpless
ness that comes only to a parent
who must watch a loved one suffer,
and die without power to aid?
Is it nothing to you this scourge
of hunger that knows neither creed
no race; this scourge under which
800J000 Armenians, Jews, Syrians,
Greeks, Assyrians and Persians in
the Near East are withering?
Is it nothing to You?,
You are tired of giving you say.
So are we all of us are tired. But
that's all, isn't it? We're tired, but
no one of us is DESTITUTE, is
HUNGRY or without home and
clothing. In fact, we're not really
tired-JUST BORED.
Do we dare to be tired or bored
with 800,000 men, women and
babies starving while the
WORLD LOOKS ON. Can
America, the creditor nation of
the earth, stand idly by while the
- first Christian nation of the world
is among those gasping out their
lives in starvation, nakedness and
filth?
m
This is not a drive. The American
people do not need a "drive" to
have pointed out to them the God
given privilege of the strong to
succor the weak.
From February 10 to February 20
you will be offered the opportunity
to contribute toward the relief of
these horrible conditions in the
Near East. When the solicitor
calls GIVE AS YOUR CON.
SCIENCE DICTATES.
