THE HOPE OF THE WORLD By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT. T HE hope of the world is not alone that the armies of humanity will be victorious, but that the spirit and purpose of our warfare will prevail in our victory. The hope of the world is in the Red Cross, because the Red Cross is voicing this spirit and pur pose that must, through the force of our arms, triumph. Just to the de gree that we can evidence this Red Cross spirit of mercy and brother hood we will hold true in the dan gerous hour of victory to the ideals that have forced us into the trenches in the defense of human rights and human liberty. The one sane arid saving thought in this delirium of death that now possesses the world is the Red Cross. Wherever the storms of "battle hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless destruction, in trench and camp and hospital, these soldiers of mercy with heroism unsurpassed are carrying the flag of the highest conceivable ideals of humanity. The ideals for which our armies have taken the field are, by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed to friend and foe, in that unmistaka- L ble language of universal mercy and .9 1 . . , -. -r- . t ' 0 " 1 J orotnerhood. . In tne terms 01 . wasiea towns rebuilt, of broken humanity salvaged, of dying children rescued, of desolate families succored, the Red Cross declares the cause for which We war and proclaims the principles and ideals that must and will in the end prevail. Above the thunder of the guns, the roar of exploding mines, the crash of fallen cities and the cries of tortured humanity, the voice of the Red Cross carries clear and strong the one message of hope to our war burdened world. The black horror of this world's crisis would be unbearable were it not for the spirit and work of this mighty force. The normal mind re fuses to contemplate the situation without this saving power. It is the knowledge that in every city, town and hamlet, men, women and children are united in this work of declaring to the world, through the Red Cross, our message of mercy and brotherhood, that keeps our hearts from sinking under the burden of woe and sustains our faith in hu man kind. It is the constant daily, almost Hourly touch with the Red Cross work that is felt by every citi zen in the land, that inspires us with courage and hope. Out of this hell of slaughter the Red Cross will guide the warring na- -tions tb a heaven of world-wide peace and brotherhood. Because it is the living expression of those ideals and principles in de fense of which we are giving our all in lives and material wealth because on every field of death it is proclaim ing its message of life because it keeps ever before lis and the world the cause for which we war because it will preserve us in the hour of our victory from defeating ourselves the Red Cross is the hope of the world. teoSW the red cross UMi -rJffVli' V 13 HELPING . jjl j)y j WHITE AND COLORED IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE Dr. Dew, Who Is Holding A Revival Meeting At The Baptist Church Preached A Powerful Ser mon Cn R, C.
