Tt gives me pleasure to comply with the request to say a word of com- mendation for the coming campaign of the Red Cross. The noble work being done by the Red Cross in re- lieving the sufferings and misery in- cident to the present war is bevond all praise. I trust that there will be a most generous response to the appeal for funds and that Norwich will ge far beyond the quata assigned, REV. J. H. BRODERICK, St. Patrick’'s Church. Powerful Factor Towards Victory. Though the object of the Red Cross Society is mainly the relief of suffer- ing it is also a powerful factor to- wards victory since it helps to sus- tain the morale of tha allied nations, «nd keeps before us those high ideals r which we are contendinz, and 'h alone ¢ inspire us with the| stron= and steadfast determination to| continue the fight until the victory of justice, freedom and truth has been achleved. The Red Cross therefore deserves the liberal and enthusiastic support of everybody who believes in relieving suffering, and in the cause {ed upon by our s | inde | diers. th in_which we are engaged.
