If not, would it not be well to tear from our Bibles the story of the
Good Samaritan and a large part of the New Testament?

"He that knoweth
to that man it is sin."

LOCAL EXPENSES

Frequently, perhaps usually, the ideal man or woman for full
time executive leadership in this work will be one who must have some
financial remuneration to meet necessary personal obligations. It is
hoped and believed that in every city some one or more persons can be
found who will quickly see that the best contribution they can make to
Armenian and Syrian relief and to the saving of lives will be by underwriting
the expense of an effective local campaign. Every dollar thus
contributed for publicity and promotion expenses should send many dollars
to buy bread for the starving. To provide funds for the local expenses
should be esteemed a special privilege yielding unusually large
returns in the form of relief. Local expenses may if necessary by
vote of the local committee be taken from local receipts but one hundred
cents of every dollar reaching New York will be cabled for relief. None
will be used for National Committee expenses which are met privately.

Regardless of how the local expenses are provided for THERE
MIST BE EXPENSE. Even the United States Government has to spend $3,000.000
in the work of selling its Liberty Bonds, gilt edge though the bonds are.
It costs to place facts before the people. The Local Committee that refuses
to incur expense for publicity, postage, stationery, etc. will almost
inevitably fail to secure a response in any degree commensurate with
the colossal need and with the city's share in meeting the demand for
bread with which to save the innocent noncombatants of Bible lands.
