They talk aboutthe many contributions they arc calledupon to make to various causes. They i also perhaps complain that the income tax is a very burdensome one. But if they would only exercise their imagination ana picture the tragedies abroad, the utter hopelessness and misery in the situations in the war zones, they would realize that they are exceedingly fortunate and that even if they had to deprive themselves of many of the comforts which they are now enjoying, they still would be in a state of luxury compared to the people abroad.“The people should not limit their gifts by their incomes, hut should lie prepared, if need be, to draw generously ■ I upon their reserve and capital. Gifts1 j that do not mean deprivation are of llt-% | tie value. With the gifts must go sacrifice.”| A. W. Kaffenburgh. vice chairman of lithe campaign committee, gave instrue-| tions as to the running of the campaign. Mrs J. Koshland spoke on the work to be done.»t01 m%i.njt
