THE WAYS OF CHARITY.
In x iewing the nation-wide move
ment looking to the succoring of the
Belgian war victims, one is immed
iately struck by the generosity of the
response of the Amoriean people to
the call of distress from that unhappy
war torn land Hundreds of thousands
ol dollars have been raised by lontri-l
butions and in divers other ways and
shipload after shipload of the necessi- j
ties of life have been hurried across
the water in response in the universal
outburst of sympathy for the unfor
tunate and the afflicted: and tiie end!
is not yel
< me can hardly glance over the news’
< olumns of the Large outside dailies
but one or more articles arc encoun- j
tered telling of this or that movement!
for raising funds for ihe victims of [
war Organizations of every class and,
description arc busily at work and |
from the socially -elect to the humble
wage earner all are combining in the!
effort to alleviate the distress of those j
whom the touch of an untoward fate |
lias cast homeless and hungry on the I
tender mercies of the world The inn- |
tlvcs underlying the generosity of the!
American people cannot but be com
mended in terms of highest praise
Kindly hearts; those filled with sym
pathy- and tenderness for the unfor
tunate and afflicted are tiie greatest
evidence that man is higher than his
sordid surroundings; that his spirit
partakes of the qualities of his maker
and is indeed akin to divinity Those
who love theii fellow men are the salt
of the earth and we would not wish by
word or deed to detract from the merit
of these charitably inclined ones who
are working with might and main or
are giving from their possessions,
great or small as the may be. to aid in
the cause of those who beckon from
across the water Vet. withal, vve arc
struck by the quality of their mercy,
f’oneeedlng that the distress of ihe
peoples of Belgium is great, that they
are facing conditions which may en
dure for many a long day. to perhaps j
f"r years is ii not a fact that many
thousands of our own citizens are al-'
most equally distressed by the same ;
causes as imve brought hunger and
woe to the unfortunates of Belgium
and that the possibilities of relief are I
equally uncertain? one ran hardly i

tiio war has brought a cast amount of
distress upon our own people. Side by :
