As memberships are renewed this year it is Well that we be mindful of all for which this banner stands.1 1 Since the early days of the Church the color red has symbolized the blood of the martyrs. The choice of this insignia by the founders of the inter national Red Cross was guided by its purpose of healing through sacrifice. Under the Red Cross there has marched an ever-mobilized army willing to sacrifice strength and life for "the healing of the nations". Under this flag goes the ministry of heal ing (rom those natiohs who still honor the cross of Christ. There are governments in the world today that have trampled' underfoot the cross and all for which it stands. Many in these lands who are suf fering martyrdom today are looking to us for help. Wherever we send the Red Cross, healing and hope go with it. . This year should witness the greatest outpour ing of memberships in history. For the worldwide, ministry of the American Red Cross is needed as never before. So long as the people of the United States up hold in their hearts' and' with their gifts the ban ner of the Red Cross, there need be no fear of a Red revolution. universal, when every American youth will give one year of his life to learning to live with others and vith nature.

It would be good for all to keep this week in whatever way their souls desire. "Real recreation is diversification of occupation" says one of the writers of the classics that nobody reads these days. An exciting experience awaiting the most prosaic is that excursion, into another world by way of a book.
