Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Harper´s Pictorial Library of the World War, Vol. 7 of 12 It is Indeed fitting, that among the records of the war, space should be found for War Relief Work. One of the outstanding facts in the war just finished with so much glory and credit to our beloved America, was the spontaneous and universal support given the Government by men and women of all creeds, classes and conditions. In the Five Liberty Loan Appeals, the amount asked for was oversubscribed. In the purchase of War Savings Stamps, everyone, the poor as well as the rich, displayed an unparalleled willingness to lend their aid to the Government. In responding to the appeals of the seven organizations approved by the Government to look after the welfare of both soldiers and civilians, our people displayed a generosity unequaled in the history of humanity. Thus were Americans at large brought into intimate contact with the sufferers of the war-ridden countries, so that, in the words of the Apostle St. Paul, their charity is spoken of throughout the whole world. This uprush of sympathy and eagerness to help the sufferers of the war, whether soldier or civilian, Gentile or Jew, forms one of the brightest pages in the history of the World War. But more especially in the personal service of our men and women was the Mercy of our People shown. In small hamlets as well as in big cities, any number of men and women were to be found freely spending themselves in providing for the comfort and amusement of our soldiers and sailors. In hospital and camp and service club and recreation center, the cheapest article dispensed was the sacrifice of our noble women, who counted no cost, overcame every obstacle and inconvenience, if only they might provide comfort and cheer to the men in service. Thus in a hundred different ways did these ministering Angels lighten the heart, naturally heavy from new and untried experiences, and make bright an otherwise dull and cheerless existence. It is to be hoped that the reading of this volume will cause to spring up in the heart of the reader new wells of Mercy and Charity, so that the work begun during the war may be carried on.
