NEAR ERST RELIEF
Golden Rule Sunday Dinner
Savings For Christmas
Foreign Orphans
“Will America permit 50,000 or
phans to face unknown conditions
through lack of funds to carry on the
work of the Near East relief with
Christian children whose parents
have died, victims of the ruthless
Turk or loathsome disease?"
This question is being asked of
Birmingham citizens, other residents
of the United States and those who j
live In 13 other lands. The answer
will be given December 2, when the
peoples of these nations have been
beseeched to dine on the simple fare
served the orphan children, beans,
rice, onions and bread or grist, soup,
cabbage and bread and perhaps con
densed milk. The difference in cost
between this menu and their regular
dinner is to be contributed to the
Near East relief fund. The day has
been set aside as Golden Rule Sunday
by proclamation of Governor Brandon
of Alabama and has the commenda
tion of President Calvin Coolidge.
T>r. Henry M. Edmonds heads the
Alabama committee of the Near East
relief and Dr. J,. E. Brubaker, presi
dent of the Birmingham pastors’
union, is in charge of church ob
servance of Golden Rule Sunday and
a committee of Birmingham citizens
is sponsoring the day.
Bishop James Cannon, chairman
of the social work commission of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
addressed the Birmingham' Golden
Rule committee Thursday, recounting
events which have led up to the pres
ent situation in the Near East. Mrs.
Jeannette Enrich, who has worked >
with the natives of Asia Minor since
1903, addressed three meetings Fri
day and conferred with speakers
for the cause Saturday. Sunday she
speaks in Jackson, Miss., before a
union meeting of church and club
women.
