EVERY FAMILY ASKED FOR NEAR EAST HEEP laxal Committee Has Distributed Golden Rule Packets Which Should Be Read With Care. Every city, town and village, not I only in St. Joseph county, and iu ! the state of Indiana, but in every ' state of the nation and in sixty na- [ tions of the globe, will observe to ; some degree the annual Golden Rule ' Sunday, which comes next Sunday, i Dec. 6. This day has been set aside the world oxer when people are asked to think in terms of the thousands of homeless and parentless children in the Near East. These children are international wards. They are a p ;rt of the awf I legacy of the late disastrous world War in wliich America with other nations participated 'i’bty ar** not only [without father, without mother and j without known responsible relaiiv-, s [but many <>!’ them ait xxithait [country.

Many of the parents of : these children sacrificed their lives' 'in defense of the principle of religious liberty. They are practically all under J sixteen years of age, and most of i them are under twelve years of age. j I 'll of them are too young to be | ; thrown upon th"ir own resources. If I । this practical expression of the J j Golden Rule fails, they perish Certainly, if it had been our lot ! to die in defense of a sacred principle an/i if o*ir children had been | , left not only without parents or re- , 1 sponsible relatives, but also without a country, we would hope that some . co-relvcionist or other Golden Ra!" philanthropist would provide for our ! j children at least the necessities of life and opportunity for attaining j self support * Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you for your j ■ children thus left desolate) du yp ; even so to them.” The local committee, composed of C M Finch, \ustin Yearick. Mabel I McDaniel, and A I). Winner, and J R Munn, has arranged for the dis-| tribution of Golden Rule packets to’ every family in Walkerton. Thes ■ are to be examined carefully and the family asked to make a contribution of some sort toward the | support of these orphaned children ; The need is urg nt. but no family <« : asked for a. large subscription. Use j the blank check in the packet if you , ; care to. or if not, drop a loose coin lin the envelope and have it readv I when the collectors call for it. Every i family should have a small part in this practical application of the Golden Rule. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you. do ye even so to them.” Once There Was A Small Bo> Once there was a small boy who ha«d every toy and luxury. Yet he flung them aside crying, “I wish I had a mother." (For his mother was dead.) There are grown up boys and girls i with toys and pleasures, motors and I radios, who are unhappy. For they ’ do not know the joy of the love of a ’ Heavenly Father. Trj' this way of making life happy: establish relationship with God. A good way to begin is to go to church. If you have no other church home, come to the— First Presbyterian Church J. Budman Fleming, Minister. United Brethren Church J. C. Albright, Pastor.
