Love anud Paul F. Clark art the origina
tor ot the idea of such a society.
"There I far more suffering In Council
Bluffs than la known ot and It Is up to
tha pecpl who really want to do some
thing to help their fellow man to make
an Intelligent effort to alleviate It" said
Dr. Donald Macrae last evening.
"It U hard for me to keep warm in
my house during such Intensely cold
weather as baa been prevailing and 1
know there are hunCrecs of poopi who
are actually suffering from cold as well
aa hunger. Wa who bava good com
fortable homea and cheerful flrea are a
little too e3iir satisfied with our own
comforts to Uks much not of what
others are dolD? ar now they are getting
nlona. I am around more than some
other people aad 1 sea plenty of oppor
tunity for tho proffering of moat dea err
ing aid. I believe It la up to th churches
to take til lead In doing aometbiag.
"Thousands of people ar nightly con
gregating at the Auditorium, listening to
good music and fine talks and gatting
mellow to tenderness In the comfortable
temperature ef tha big building, while
there ar hundred ot their fellow
creature who are positively suffering.
'I don't mean to criticlss these religious
meetings. .They ar all right and we per
haps ought to have mora of them, but I
believe the churches ar not going far
snough or lit ths right direction to reach
tha people who need them most. Met
a plan 1 would like to proposal
Opea t'p th Charrhea.
"Open every day and every night whUe
ibis bitter weather ctnllauea nt least
throe ot the city churches, eas tn the
wast part ot town, on la the south and
on big centrally located church like the
Broadway Methodist: heat them com
fortably and invite tbe eold and hungry
to oome here, get warm and get some
thing to eat; let the women ot the
churches aerv hot ooffe. hot soups and
sandwiches and let th man who ar abft
pay all that tt costs. 1 will glvs fM) for
such a purpose, and I believe I could get
HW or Jl OK more la a tew how. If our
Christian religion i worth anything i
ought I be worth enough t relieve the
actual suffering that really ax lata
"Such a ntovement would strsagthon
tha churehea mare than a kit revival.
Th women ar alwaya ready t de their
part, aad 11 lb men will provide tbe
money to buy the food and heal the
ehurobea 1 am aura there will be oaougii
good Christian women ready la eook and
aerv th feou."
Or, Macrae waa very much tn earnest
la his suggestions and told of numerous
instances that had oca under his eb
cervaUon that appealed atrongly to blm,
and he pointed out the necessity for seme
such Movement for general relief. An
unusual number ot people ai out of
work, and with potatoes at II. 1 a bushel
and other things In proportion, many
ar undoubtedly not getting anough to
eat, "I wish th people ot Council Iliuffs
would las thl matter seriously, for the
