Christmas money to war orphans urged by Indiana Sunday School
The Indiana Sunday School Association asks 5400 schools to skip Christmas gifts and donate toys and candy to a fund aiding 40 000 Armenian and Syrian war orphans deported to the Arabian deserts. Indiana schools may raise about 25000 by contributing to a national relief fund of 1 million dollars as part of a 30 million nationwide drive. Visitations on December 6 will explain the plight to Hoosier children to prompt donations. The effort aligns with Great Samaritan messaging as churches and associations rally to help victims of war.
