it great net of mercy drawn tkrongh
an ocean of unspeakable pain ”
“I'm afraid that’s all I can spare
99
You're a regular red-blooded true-blue Ameri-
can You love your country You love that flapping
snapping old flag Your heart thumps hard when
the troops tramp by You're loyal— 100!
You intend to — you want to — help win the war
In a hurry j
“Sacrifice? Sure” you've been thinking “Just
you wait till they really need it” And you've hon-
estly thought you meant that too
f
But— look yourself in the eye now and search up and down in-
side of your heart — did you mean it) Did you really mean “sacrifice”)
Listen : You feel poor This third Liberty Loan the high prices
the Income Tax— you’ve dona your bit You feel that you've given
all you can spare
What T Then what did you mean) What’s that you said about
loving your country) What did you think the word “sacrifice” means)
Surely you didn’t mean did you to give only what you can spare T
What about our boys who are giving their lives in the trenches)
Are they giving only what they can “spare” )
How about those mothers and little “kiddies' in the shell-wrecked
towns of that war-swept hell : — hungry — ragged — sobbing — alone)
Giving up their homes their husbands their fathers
While we — over here with our fun and our comforts— we hold up
our heads and feel patriotic because we have given — what ? Some
loose bills off the top of our roll “We’ve given all we can spare I ”
Come come ! Let's quit fooling ourselves Let
us learn what “ sacrifice ” means Let us give more
than we can spare-let us “give till the heart says
stop”
