will to men. - ., -- - _ '
And so we giveIra.
Men and women of Ontario! We who stand for good will among men and nations;
we whose men fight that there may at last be real peace on earth—let us make this a
Christmas worthy of the day it commemorates—let us lay aside a generous proportion
of our Christmas money for the families of those who are fighting the good fight.
Give tQ the Canadian Patriotic Fund
the fund that guards the soldiers' families from want.
Great as the result will be among the families of our soldiers, greatery%Cmnay the
blessing be among us. the givers. Christmas will have a more vital meaning for us
than perhaps ever before, and as for the children, who can measure the impression they
will receive and keep of that Christmas Day when they shared their Christmas with
the loved ones of the men who saved their country I
Let each Canadian boy and girl get a lesson from this historic Christmas which
will go with them all through life.
Good men and women of Ontario! Can the need of our soldiers' families cry in
vain for the relief which this Fund alone makes possible? Can we—can we, in the face
of it all, again give lavishly among ourselves? Shall we not this year, with hearts full
of the spirit of Christmas. 12_y aside a generous proportion of our Christmas money
for the cause which so urgently needs it?
