“And when you give it, give absolutely all that you can spare, and don't consider yourself liberal in the giving. If you give with self-adulation, you are bot giving at all, you are giving to your own vanity; but if you give until it hurts, then your heart-blood goes into it."
has been said that St. Andrew's Bociety is allocating too much of the War Bond Drawing reneipts to War Charities. Just think for a minute of the War and not of the Drawing; think of the tragedy beyond words which is being enacted on the battle front; think of the vast relief organisation and the money that is needed to uphold it and think of your own daty in the matter. No, we are not giving too much, we are not giving enough.
