MOTHERS AND FATHERS OF AMERICA

GIVE TO YOUR OWN SONS!
It was at a little hospital in France. Onq
of the workers Young Men's Christian' .As,
sociation, Knights of Columbus what does
it matter, they are all the same was one
day passing by and suddenly thought of a
Scotch boy with whom he had been talking
before that same afternoon. He entered the
tent expecting to find the boy marked that
night for transfer home. But when he ap
; proached he saw that something had hap
pened, something had intervened between
all hopes and plans." The wounded lad's
; eyes were bright with fever and he beckon
ed to the man of mercy. "Come here, mum
my," he said; 'put your arm under my head
and I, think I will sleep tonight."
4 "And then," says the worker, "I saw that
he had become a child again. . 'Here me say
" my1' prayers now, mummy,' he said, and be
ginning 'Our Father which art in Heaven,
he felt his way through it like a blind man in
a narrow alley, till he got tangled in forget
fulness and stumbled for a moment into si
lence. Then, looking up at me, he said,
'Kiss me, .mummy,', and I kissed him and
tucked hira in as his mother used to do when
he was a boy at home, and by way of sleep
that night he found a dawn beyond our day
break." Your son, .perhaps, is there that boy you
i .s Hove so well.- He may be wounded. God foi-i
bid! But if ,lie is, an arm will pillow hisj
head tonight ?md fatherly hands will be on
w.hisaiid kindly .lips.. will speak those words
'; "that you"wotild speak If ydu were. hy " Ms
side. It will be the hands and lips of one of
that band of consecrated men, one of those
big-hearted brothers, who welcomed your
boy that home-sick day he came to camp,
who sailed withhim on. the transport who
went, perhaps, through the hell-fire of shot
and bursting shell to save him when he was
. wounded, who brought food and comfort
and friendliness and home to him on the
very fire-step of the front-line trench.
These big brothers are calling to you from
Franee for help. Nay, they are calling to
you from every cantonment, from every
camp, here and abroad, where our soldier
lads are gathered together. "Fathers and
Mothers of America ! ' they say, "your boys
are in our hands. We want to send them
back to you clean, strong, bravet victorious.
God willing, these shall not be wasted
months or years. We are working and pray
ing so that even while he fights your son
.will grow in stature body, mind and soul.
Money is needed-a veritable tide of gold
to make this possible. Fathers and Mothers
of America, give to jrour own sons!"
Shall we add our poor word to the passi
onate appeal for 170,500,000 that is being '
' made by these seven societies, these great
brotherhoods that stand behind our armies
the Young Men's Christian Association,
the Young Women's Christian Association,
the National Catholic War Council, the Jew- ,
ish, Welfare Board, the Salvation Army, the
American Library Association, the War
- Camp Community Service? No, there is no
need for us to tell you why you should give.
. Your own heart is crying out to you now to
give. Give money? WThy, you would give
your right hand, you would give your
beating heart itself, if it would bring your
boy comfort and happiness in his life or
peace in his death.
Little enough do we know what these lads
of ours are enduring without complaint;
little enough do we-know how they die
without bitterness, thinking never of self,
but of suffering chums and loved ones at
home, humble in their self-sacrifice. Little
can we hope to imagine what' "Y" or "K. of
C." men and huts mean to them, we who are
safe and warm and with friends.
"Sometimes," say3 a "Y" worker, "I sit
i
? all day beside a man, feeling my heart just
, break listening to him as he speaks words
of love and messages of deepest tenderness
in his dying fever to those far off across the
seas whom he thinks to be right up' near his
streteher-bed. . And then a man who has
been blinded wants me to hold one of his
hands; another poor lad sobs out his life,
his head in. my arms, crying for his mother
as you and I cried for ours when were were
lonely; and I guide the hands of another
a big boy, torn and shattered by a shell, as
he writes good-by to his sweetheart and
tells her God will bring them together
again."
What do we know of such things as these
we in America ? What do we know of the
horror of the rain-soaked trench at night,
with the shells flying overhead like bats out '
of hell? What do we know of the gnawing
cramp of hunger or the hideous wrench of
agonizing wounds ? Our eyes have not seen
the human wreckage of the battle-field, our
ears have not heard its awful' criea. Our
lips have not yet touched , the v cup. Our
meatless days, our wheatless meals,;. our
good ladies knitting would we dare look
on one poor crumpled form in Flanders field
and call these things "giving"? Not if we
are men,- If our fields.had been plowed by
murderous guns, if our cities had been loot
ed, razed, and ruined, if our men had been
crucified and shot, if our mothers, wives,
si.and daughters had been dragged -like, the
"'.women of Lille by gray-clad demons to ':"
slavery,; then, we, would be able to speak. a
language of sacrifice we do not yet know
or even dimly understand. Then would we
have learned something of the courage of
!. Christ, when he refused , the stupefying
drink upon the cross, and faced sufferings
yes, welcomed and greeted it, as a very end
and aim of life. . , - , . . ( : .
It is a splendid thing to give billions to
war that war may cease. It is thrice bless
ed to give to these magnificent and merci
ful organizations that have been formed not
to take life, but to save it, not to give wounds
but to bind them up, not to spread disaster
and blasting death, but to dispense good
cheer and kindness, and knowledge and
comfort and brotherly love among our own
boys. '
It is a privilege to give to this great cause
when for the first time in history Jew,
Protestant, and Catholic are sinking the bit
, ter differences of centuries,, when prejudi
ces are sweeping out like ash in furnace
winds, and creeds are commingling in the
final gold of truth. This cause is, indeed,
His cause, and each dollar we give is given
into the very treasury of Heaven.
If for a moment, far from the peril and
sudden death of the trenches, we are tempt
ed to shrink from our new sacrifices we have
but to look around about us to remember
our duty, for already in our streets the
crutch tells its simple story and carries its
mute appeal to the heart; already our con- .
sciences are challenged by the eloquence of
the empty sleeve; already we are faced by
the outward evidences of these our boys
who have laid not merely money, but life
and body themselves upon the altar.
P'athers and Mothers of America ! Your
sons need warm hearts to father them and
ministering hands to sustain them; they
need every comfort, every care, every pro- I
tection that money can buy and love pro
vide. Were peace declared tomorrow they
would need them even more, if possible,
during the trying months when they are
waiting to return to you. It is your own
flesh and blood that is calling you. As you
cherish American manhood, and in the
name of God who gives victory to the right,
answer the call.
