THE NEAR EA5T TO CIVILIZATION
SAVE MY CHILDREN

By D avid H inshaw
^ou average American citizen in your average
American community imagine if y u cat«, die
txissibility of a report similar to the following I
ocing made of your conununity at any time and
under any condition».
Though much »addened, our workers are cut­
ting oil whom they must, an«i continuing with
those selected, principally children All arc mak­
ing winter plans and a king, pleading, t r fund»
now to buy what will cost many times n re later
on. Can you not cable us that the promised ap
propnation» are certain until the end of June

Near East, the cradle of the w' ite num’s civiliza­
tion, is perishing. It is perishing U- .»use of the
faith that is in it. Only the help of an aroused
American generosity can prevent this.
It is hard at a distance of th us.mds of miles
for Average American Citizens to gi p t c nee«!
Tolerant, Helpful, Kindly, Generous America
would never permit relief w rk<
to sign dr th
warrants for thousands of pet
is. did it but
realize the situation. That is exactly what hap­
pens when the workers in the N ar East are
forced from lack of funds to “cut otf wh>rn they
must." More than 4.000,000 people are destitute,
of this number 4«x>,cxx> are orpb.ni», orphans be
cause they were innocently caught in the net of
the great war.
These starving peoples live in the "fester" spot
of Europe and Asia. America entered the war
that autocracy might be crushed fr m the earth.
We are forever bound to Eur«>|<- !-• :uo- the
blood of our sons is mingled with European
soil. We must carry on tn their tuny . we
must carry on or their supreme sacrifice will have
been in vain.
France, Belgium, Italy .can all be helped hr
governmental aid. but die dying Christians of
the Near East have no government through
which governmental aid can be given them The
task is America’s. Liberty, equality, freed-<n of i
speech, freedom of worship, all of these America
has given to the world Slowly the other nations
of the world are accepting our ideals. Now we
are challenged practically to advance the Broth­
erhood of Man as taught bv the "Man of Sor­
rows" toon rears ago The people of His land
by ttie faith He gave them ask for bread. What
shall America give them ?
