The Red Cross Creed By J. B. Cutler
Do something for somebody somewhere. While jogging along life’s road, help someone to carry his burden and lighter will grow your load. Do something for somebody gladly, it will sweeten your every care. In sharing the sorrows of others your own are less hard to bear. Do something for somebody striving to help where the way seems long. And the homeless hearts that languish cheer up with a little song. Do something for somebody always whatever may be your creed.
