has essayed. The members meet every
Friday, all day, at the church to make
children's garments and baby layettes
for the refugees of the war-stricken,
allied countries. One hundred of the
lr.yettes and six boxes of clothing are
already completed and are waiting
shipment by Frank Judson, state Red
Cross director.
The women welcome any assistance
from those who are interested. The
work is self-support'ng, so donations
of money are especially needed. Old
garments in good condit'on can be
used. Miss Jessie Millard heads the
Red Cross auxiliary of the church.
The work is actively carried on by
the Ladies' Aid society. The officers
are Mesdames Casper Yost, G. L.

The Soul of Red Cross
I am the individual Red Cross
worker.
I am the foundation.
I am the present glorious struc
ture.
I am the initiative.
I am the personal effort.
I am the greatest means 'of life
and progress of this grandest of
humantarian missions.
It is not sufficient that I knit
woolen garments or make hospital
dressings. I am commanded to
secure new workers from among
my neighbors.
Recruits, recruits, recruits, and
more recruits!
I am, by my own voluntary en
listment in this imoortant work. :
self-constituted committee of one
to spread the mission of the Red
Cross and to urge my friends to
join in the work.
Have I done only what is given
me to do in actual labor, then have
I shirked in that greatest, most
helpful branch of Red Cross work
enlistment of new members and
workers.
My neighbors are they working
in tne causer is there a knitting
bag in their homes? Do they be
long to one of the faithful auxil
iaries which are turning out
thousands of dressings to save the
wounded boys over there?
If I know not whether my neigh
bor is a Red Cross worker, then
I shirk a responsibility, for the
growth of this wonderful work de
pends on individual initiative. The
Ked Cross is founded, fostered and
progressed by individual effort and
individual patriotism.
1 am commanded bv mv
listment to go into these homes
? my neighbors and enlist help,
if help is not now being given.
I am the most powerful factor
of the Red Cross because my heart
is full with appreciation of what
the work means to humanity to
you and to me.
I am humanity for born of mine
are the brave men over there, and
women know better than all the
strength of the tie that binds.
For that reason all future suc
cess depends upon my initiative
enlisting new members, keeping
faith and step with that apprecia
tion and knowledge of the work
felt so keenly by my heart and
soul.
I am fully working for the Red
Cross ONLY when working both
with heart and with hand.
I am Duty in woman's dress.'

members are urged to come and start
