Our beloved President said: "I summon you to the comradeship in the Red
Cross; I summon you to say how sincerely, and how unanimously you
sustain the heart of the world."
It is not alone the unanimous financial support that is asked for by the
Red Cross in its great appeal for "universal membership"; but it is the
tremendous moral effect universal membership will produce. Universal
membership will emphasize unanimous loyalty, the keynote of American
citizenship, and the unanimity of the Christian spirit of America.
The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call has been staged on a mighty scale
of action. The goal set is for one Hundred Million Members. What
is the analysis of the success of such a stupendous undertaking?
IT IS YOUR INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT. YOUR heart YOUR
dollar. These must unite for the victory, lou must view iulk
SELF as the vital factor in the success of the Christmas Roll
Call. It is your sacred privilege, it must be your serious aim
to join the world's greatest humanitarian organization,
whose mission carries its emblem to the four cor
ners of the earth to relieve suffering and dis
tress in its every phase. Let your Dollar
follow its banners throughout the war
wrecked lands over the sea, to
express tne nnest laeais oj.
service and ministry.

Make your Red Cross Dollar the coin of a higher conscience. To give this
dollar is more than a privilege ; more than a duty. It is a gift that sym
bolizes the highest sentiments of Christianity.
Don't look upon your Red Cross Dollar as a charity; but a dollar conse
crated to the highest principles of SERVICE. SERVICE TO HUMANITY.
The curtain has dropped on the last act of the world war; but behind the
scenes of this fearful drama, humanity gasps its helplessness in its
suffering and distress ; its homelessness ; its grief and its sorrow. Peace
leaves in its wake a heroic task for the Red Cross. It confronts a new
and more fearful condition of want than has ever been known in the
history of mankind. Millions are homeless, suffering and destitute.
Hunger, disease and death menaces them. Quick and overwhelm
ing relief is necessary to save them. Their salvation depends
on YOUR dollar. Your dollar, because every reader of Red
Cross appeals is the unit of a mighty legion whose power de
pends on unity. Whose universal response makes possible the
restoration of war crushed lands, and the relief and recov
ery of their peoples. And through the agency of
UNIVERSAL MEMBERSHIP the greatest work
of the American Red Cross can be accom
lished. Enroll your name with joyful good
will, and add a new and
greater happiness to the
spirit of Christmas.
