—^In these difficult times we never know when the "fell clutch of circumstances" may deprive us of income and all reserve resources.
—Whilst we have. a job^ as long as we have anything more than the necessities of life—as long as we can find money to spend on luxuries-should we not spare and share some of it with those who need our help?
Suppose Nobody Cared !
What would the sick-the blind~the crip-pled-the children who have no homes-the friendless-what would they think of us? What would we think of ourselves?
GIVE that others may live life more abundantly. GIVE because you will be happier for being a good neighbor and a Good Samaritan to those who need your help.
