'VI net of uiercy drawn through
an ocean of unspeakable pain",

FIRST of the American Army they died in France!
Gresham! Enright! Hay! They died for us.
And willingly! But not, pray God, in vain !
For the sake of them, if for no other reason,
will you not give to the Red Cross which will care for
the men that follow them ?
For the sake of what they died for, will you not
give and give till the heart says stop ?
None of us here can give as greatly as they gave
and as others are yet to give. But can we not sacri
fice ourselves a little?;. Will you take a little from
the comforts of your life and give, not a mere "con
science gift" that salves your pride and lets you say
to yourself: "I have given to the Red Cross" but
a gift that cuts down into the quick and hurts be
cause it makes you deny yourself ?
Remember they gave till they died!
