BISHOP McDEVITT
ASKS AID OF RED
CROSS IN DRIVE
The Rt. Rev. Philip R. McDev
itt, bishop of the diocese of Har
risburg, to-day Issued an appeal
to the people of the Pennsylvania-
Delaware division of the Red
Cross to make their membership
in the organization unanimous.
Bishop McDevitt said: •
"The noble purpose of the
American Red Cross has happily
enlisted widespread co-operation,
and its great achievements have
everywhere commanded enthusi
astic admiration. Deserving of
admiration and co-operation as
the society assuredly is, there Is,
indeed, one element of its activ
ity which, when more fully under
stood, must further quicken the
zeal, sympathy and assistance of
men and women in every "walk of
life. This element I refer to is
found in one of the two fruits
which every good work produces.
The firßt of these two fruits falls
to those for whom the beneflcient
enterprise is undertaken. The
second is gathered by those who
are engaged in the meritorious
service. The immediate and pri
mary consequence of the splendid
notivitles of the American Red
Cross is the relief of the appalling
sufferings and distress which the
war has brought upon the na
tions. The secondary benefit, un
recognized, perhaps, but none the
less real, is the enrichment of the
. moral and the spiritual nature of
all those who take their part In
the mighty work for suffering
mankind."
