GOOD SAMARITAN[Rev. Mr. Platt Preaches Special

Red Cross Sermon in I'res-ibyterian Church.Cood Col-'lection Taken.

The following is the cevmon of theRev. R. 13. Platt delivered in the Pres¬byterian church lust Sunday morn¬ing, the services being called a socc-iul Red Cross servico.Read Luke 10:25-37.The Good Samaritan of the Twen¬

tieth Century is The Red Cross So¬ciety. He has all the good qualitiesof both the masculino and the fem¬inine. Ho has has all the grace, thetenderness, the sympathy, and the pit¬ying love of the most tender heart¬ed woman and also, all tho daring,tho firmness, the strength, the stern-nes of the most stalwart man. Hiswatchword is Service. He nevershirks, never shrinks from the mostarduous task where human need isinvolved. He is not an individualbut an institution; an organization.Yet he is n personality. His soul hasbeen defined by another in thesewords: "To bind up the nation'swounds; to care for him who shallhave borne tho battle, and for hiswidow and his orphan.to do allwhich may achieve and cherish ajust and lasting peace among our¬selves and with all nations. The RedCross or the Good Samaritan of theTwentieth Century, will plead for ser¬

vice, record humanity at its best, out¬line the vision of a greater nation inthe non-mnterial fields, cheer the de¬spondent, and direct the wanderinggood intention. Ho is tho tie thatbinds the far-separated acts togeth¬er, until the little trickles of human¬ity shall all come together in a vaststream of human sympathy so pureand powerful as to accomplish a newthing on earth-'*The Good Samaritan of he Twen¬

tieth century is international in char¬acter.that is, he belongs to all na¬tions and to all people. Every civiliz¬ed nation today has him. He is Eng¬lish and American; Kreuch ami Ital¬ian; Russian and Japanese; Germanand Austrian; white, yellow, black.He was born in the first century ofthe Christian era. He was created bythe Man of Sorrows who knew humansuffering in all its intensity und whoreleased from his own divine person-ality those forces which minister incase of need. The Good Samaritanof that first century was but the pro-totypc of the Good Samaritan of to-day. That one helped one poor tray-eler who fell among enemies whilethis one of our day has succored mil-lions. He. has not confined his ac-tivities to times of war. When faminehas stalked about in any section ofthe lnnd he has supplied food; whenepidemic has ravaged the vitals of a

community he has applied the healingbalm; when earthquakes and ireshave rent the enrth and reduced pros-perous cities to ashes he has gother-ed up the fragments, and out of theruin anw waste has builded anew;when floods have overwhelmed andvandals have prowled about like thethieves in the night, the Red Crosshas been on hand to turn debris intonew homes, and to restore law andorder. The American Red Cross alonehas spent millions of dollars and reu-dercd billions of hours of personalservice in peace time and disasterswithin the last dozen years.While the Good Samaritan of the

Twentieth Century was created twothousand years ago he was not muchforce in an organized way until themiddle of the nineteenth century.Then a battle of tho Crimean workedsuch havoc among the soldiers andconditions among the wounded wereso acute as th it a Swiss journalistproposed that the nations organizerelief societies for the care of thewounded and the sick in time of bat-

e. War is most horrible but out ofall wars some good has come, and itis back to this war that wo must lookfor the impulse that made Red Crosswork a reatlity. The rulers of Europeculled a conference of the powers andat Geneva in October, 18G3, the RedCross Treaty was signed by fourteenpowers. It provided that each gov¬ernment extend its "sanction, ou l.or-ity and protection to volunteer relieforganizations in time of war; thatthe privilege of neutrality be extend¬ed by all the belligerents to the am¬

bulances, hospitals, doctors, nurses,all persons attached to the medicalrelief corps of the armies, and adoptedas the insignia the Greek cross ofred on a filed of white." This insig¬nia, with which we are all familiar,has the red to denote the spirit of thesacrifice and the white to denote pu¬rity of motive of service, and hassince then been respected, except bysavages. In 1877 a few patriotic cit¬izens of Americn fostered the idea ofthe Red Cross in the United States,and in 1881 they secured a charter ofincorporation under the laws of theDistrict of Columbia. The next yearour government signed the treaty ofGeneva with the other nations. Inevery disaster such as the Johnstown1flood, the San Francisco earthquakethe Red Cros rendered such serviceas to impress the Nation with its im¬portance, ever growing in knowledgennd favor until the Government recog¬nized its as the only volunteer organ¬ization that could be depended uponfor valuable service to tho nrmy andnavy. A General Order of the WarDepartment issued in 1911 mado theRed Cross the only society of the kindempowered to render aid to the landand sea forces of the nation in timeof war and directed that any and allother societies desiring to render sim¬ilar aid must do it thrpugh the Amer¬ican Red Cross. The President of theUnited States is also President _pfthe Red Cross and among its exec¬utives are officers of tho army andnavy. After war was declared be-

tween our country and Germany theRed Cross was put upon an entirelynew basis known as the Americaniied Cross War council. Mr. Wilsonasked Henry 1'. Davidson of the firmof J. P. Morgan & Co. to assume thechairmanship. Associated with himare some of the biggest brains of thecountry and ho has at Iii» disposalall the authority ho needs to makethe work effective at home and abroadEvery State has its Special Chair¬man, Mr. Henry W. Anderson, ofRichmond, being the chairman forVirginia. Then in, every town possiblechapters have been organized like theTazewell chapter, Mr. J. W. Chapmanbeing chairman, with as many aux¬iliaries nsc are necessary to makethe work easily within the reach ofevery man, woman and child in ev¬ery community. There are more thantwo million members in the organiza¬tion and people are joining so fnstthat no statistics of any given weekare aedquate for the next week. Rasehospitals are hing organized in ad¬dition to those we already hud;surgeons, physicians, nurses and tin-nurses uids; phnramacists, ambulancedrivers and assistants in all depart¬ments of Red Cross work arc rapid¬ly volunteering and getting ready forduty assigned them; comfort lingsund all kinds of-hospital supplies arcbeing made by the good women; themen are giving money and such ser¬vice ns they can render und all overthis country from ocean to ocean andfrom the lakes to tho gulf, the humof Red Cross activities is heard andthe nation is thrilled with the spiritof Red Cross work. The Good Sa¬maritan of the Twentieth Centuryis at work! If there is any one whohas heard about it und understandsthe meaning of it |i|id yet is opnosedto it and has a feeling of lethargyconcerning it let him remember theadvice Mr. Davidson gives. Ho saidto all who would jeer or oppose hewould say what he saw on a plac¬ard on tho door of a little churchout west. These were the words:"Do not shoot the organist. He isdoing the best he can." Yes, theGood Samaritan of the TwentiethCentury is doing the best lie can tosing the music of hope in the ears ofthe living; to whisper sweet lulla-hys of Eternal Rest to the souls ofthe dying. Don't shoot him.The active work of this Good Sa¬

maritan of the Twentieth Centuryis similar to work of that man ofthe First Century who went downfrom Jerusalem to Jericho. The iu-siduous influences of evil are thievesto steal away the good cnaractor ofour hoys serving Uncle Sam on landor sen; nt home or abroad. Promsuch thieves this Good Samaritanseeks to protect them hy providinghome influences us much ns possible.Rooms, good literature, recreation,such ns can be adapted to camp lifeare things which would be luckingin large measure but for the RedCross. Unnecessary disease becauseof unsanitary surroundings or be¬cause medical attention is lacking isanother thief that conspires to stealaway the health of the boys. Rutthe Red Cross reduces nil that to aminimum for ther is always on handdoctors and nurses und nil the medi¬cine required to make tho camp orthe ship as free from epidemic asyour home town. When a battle isfought and one or hundreds lie wtund-L'd, benumbed with pain or wild withdelcrium, tho first aid surgeons andnurses are there with the balm andthe oil of relief. We read that theGood Samaritan of Christ's day af¬ter pouring in the healing remediesput the wounded man on the beastund took him to the Inn. And sothis good Samaritan pro\fdcs thoRed Cross ambulance. At the riskof his own life the driver takes thowounded soldier and speeds with himus fast as possible to the bnsc hos¬pital where there is a regular stairof surgeons and nurses two hundredand seventy-live strong, with goodbeds, well equipped in every way tonurse the wounded back to hculth.The question has boon asked: does

At the conclusion of Mr. Platt's ad¬dress last Sunday morning, Mr. J. W.Chapman, chnriman of the Red CrossChapter of the County, made an in¬teresting and strong statement of theneeds of the Red Cross, and distribut¬ed pledge cards for monthly contribu¬tion.About $130 was pledged in all, to

TOWN AND COUNTY AUTOS.

Robert C. Wells, of Bluestonc, wnshere Tuesday, to attend the Republi¬can county meeting. This is the firsttime Mr. Wells has been to townsince he was run down by an auto¬mobile near his home some time ago,in which his buggy was smashed, andMr. Wells laid up for repairs for aweek or more. The car, so Mr. Wellssaid, belonged to a Mr. Walker at Gra¬ham. After the accident the autodriver made no hnlt whatever or ef¬fort to ascertain the amount of thedamage done, neither since hns hedone so, nor mnde any offer to paydamages or doctor's bills. Mr. Wellssaid the auto man sounded his hornonly when right at his buggy, not giv¬ing time to turn out the road. And,in this connection this scribbler wish-est otutter two protests. One isagainst a town man driving over ncountry man, and a country mnn driv¬ing over a town man. The other daya country auto came near runningover the editor of_ this paper. Theauto horn tooted just in time, andthe editor was scared almost "out ofhis hoots," as much by tho horn nsby the car. This careless drivingmust be stopped, both in town and thecountry.

At Fort Oglcthorpo there are 500German prisoners, taken tram intern¬ed .Gorman vessels that ran into ourharbors at Norfolk and Newport Newsfor protection, as will bo recalled. Ofthe crews of the two vessels, number¬ing some 1600 in all, 1 believe, fiOOwere sent to the army post at Chicka-nmuirn. The men are quartered in alarge building Bflvcrnl stories high,surrounded by large lawns;, aroundwhich runs u barbed wire fence 26feet high. There is a guard seatedhere ami tin re, with a dangerouslooking gnu across his hip, keeping azealous watch over the Kaiser's subjects. Notwithstanding, 1 was toldthat two men had uuujo tlll'ir escapea short time before, just how no oneseemed to know. It was a beautiful,quiet .Sunday afternoon I was there,The streets and sidewalks wero crowd¬ed with soldiers and others, like my¬self, sightseeing. The German pris¬oners were all out on the lawns, onthe porches, in the windows.every¬where. Some were talking, some1walking in the "grounds, others read¬ing and smoking. They wore alldressed in Ivhite, of courso, and worethe cleanest, finest looking body ofmen I ever saw.great stalwart fel¬lows, none of them apparently un¬der thirty years of age. They arewell cared for, and seemed contented.Their officers are quartered in a sen-arate building nearby. One or moretimes during the week the prisonersare allowed freedom of the large pa¬rade grounds, under heav guard, ofcourse. These men will bo allowed toreturn lo their homes after war cuds.I was told that the German goveri-ment pays each man now hjs regularwage the same an when in active ser¬vice. Of course, no ono is allowed tospeak to htem, not even allowed towalk donwri the bide of the street.Upon reaching the grounds you are

QujUvi.lt deven beyond the average of a culti¬vated class, she had inherited from along lino of Scotch-Irish ancestryracial qualities of both peoples thecannineBs, thoroughness und faithful¬ness of the Douglasses, and the Cnmp-liolla |iui| the Kings, as well as thegenial sympathy and the high-spiritedsense of humor of her Irish forbears,while (lie bountiful sense of hospi¬tality acquired from both types willbe remembered by thousands of theguests at her Russell county home.
