JOSEPH L. SELLING
A
What would you do with the
industrious head of a family who
becomes so sick that he must quit
work, lose his pay, and ask us not
alone to sustain his family, but to
al4o send him to a hospital and
pay for keeping him there?
There's only one reply.
With the rapid growth of De-
troit comes the same rapid
growth of poverty, but not the
same rapid growth of contribu-
tors. Many of our new-corners,
good citizens as they are, arc
model husbands and fathers in
all respects, but one : failure to do
their duty by the poor of their
adopted city ; while it is usually
thoughtlessneis on their part, I
hope this 1V111 he a gentle re-
minder.
Then, again, many people fig-
ure their charity expenditures at
so small a percentage of their in-
comes that they are placing the
burden of the poor on others'
shoulders. That isn't right, is it?
Of course, there is the man who
will tell you he does his own char-
ity. Such a man is often a fervent
believer in the adage, "Charity
begins at home !" I have in mind,
at this moment, a young man who
made much money ill real estate.
In 1916 he gave us no contribu-

To those of you who have
will deliver his weekly sermon, begin-
never visited the Jewish Institute
ning at 10 o'clock.
WEALTHY bachelor said
to me one day this year
when I was asking him for
his subscription, "This is a pros-
perous year ; every one has work.
Why do you need money?"
The question didn't sound at all
unreasonable. On the face of it,
there should be no poverty. But
that same contributor, had he
visited the Jewish Institute and
investigated sonic of the relief
cases, would have solved the
problem for himself.
Non-employment does produce
much poverty, but not all of it by
ally means. Sickness is a large
factor in causing misery. We have
many cases Ivhcre parents are too
sick to work and their ailments
make it necessary to remove the
children, in order that the conta-
gion may not be communicated.
_It is not generally knoivn that the
L'inted Jewish Charities main-
tains two large houses as homes
for dependent children.
The wife deserter is with us in
good times, too. What can we do
with the forsaken wife and her
family of small children? I can
hear your answer-- - Take care of
them, of course."
and looked into the systematic
work done there, this is a special
invitation to so do. It will open
your eyes and I hope will open
your hearts wider.
Will you?
Our institution has suffered
two very severe losses during this
year The death of Abraham Ben-
jamin, our Secretary, not only
severed very friendly :ties, but
deprived us of the services of a
most efficient official.
And only a few days ago, the
tragic death of Jacob G. Brown,
our Vice-President, removed from
us a man who was invaluable in
every department of our organiza-
tion, and his passing has left an
aching void.
There are two things we ask
of our community—.
Greater financial support to ac-
complish greater results. More ac-
tive co-operation from women and
men who will give us of their
time and energy.
With both of these factors,
money and effort, at our disposal,
there is no limit to the good we
can do.
We should all be proud of the
United Jewish Charities. Will you
help to make it the model of its
kind?
