"A great net'of mercy drawn through
an ocean of unspeakable pain"
"I'm afraid that's all I can spare"
You're a regular, red-blooded, true-blue American.
You love your country. . You love that flapping, snap
ping old flag. Your heart thumps hard when the troops
tramp by. You're loyal--100!
You intend to you want to help win the war
in a hurry.
"Sacrifice? Sure," you've been thinking. "Just
you wait till they really need it." And you've honestly
thought you meant that too.
But look yourself in the eye, now, and search up
and down inside of your heart did you mean it? Did
you really mean "sacrifice?"
Listen: You feel poor. This third Liberty Loan,
the high prices, the Income Tax you've done your bit.
You feel you've given all you can spare.
How about those mothers and little "kiddies" in the
shell-wrecked towns of that war-swept hell: hungry
ragged sobbing alone? Giving up their homes, their
husbands, their fathers.
While we over here with our fun and our com
forts we hold up our heads and feel patriotic because
we have given what? . Some loose bills off the top of
of our roll. We've given all we can ' spare!
Come, come! Let's quit fooling ourselves. Let us
learn whas "sacrifice" means. Let us give more than
we can spare let us "give till the heart says stop."
