It has come down to us through all . the ages in songjand story, and master painters have picture it on marvelous canvases Today passing in review, as we look out through the windows of our comfortable Bin in this great and happy land, are three. and a half millions of help- ss children, the innocent vietims of the greatest It matters e children, y that has ever afflieted humanity. not, as we gaze fn the’direction of th that. our eyes stretch across three thousand miles of _ ocean, we still can see them and we still can -hear them, if we wish to do so; and we cannot help heary ing the tragic appeal in their voices and seeing their arms stretched out to us, and their searehing eyes look ne into our souls, as they say, ‘‘Help us, or we per’ _ And if we fail to listen to this great eall of three and a half million of God's helpless cliildren ; if we close our éyes and ears to\this great démand of duty/we will be just as guiltyof the “slaughter of the innovents”’ as was Herod, nearly two thousand years ago. In these lands, swept by death and filled with dies too deep for tears, a sum of”human suffer- is being written greater perhaps than for all ages gone by.<,The mind grows numb and the heart’ sie! from a constant recital of tales of such tragedy as it is difficult to believe the twentieth century could hold. And so, when we received the letfer from Mr. Hooter telling ug that America must not allow hun- ger and cold to return to this mass of 3, 00,0000 helpless children our_soul was stirred and the- hot blood urged up in, ar heart, We felt it was our imperative duty to use all the power God has given us to aid thi noblehearted American in ‘continuing - the work of saving humanvlives to which he Ras’ de-.
