“JOHN BULL” CALLING
DISTRICT PATRIOTIC APPEAL. According to a statement issued by the Patriotic Committee, John Bull was reading last night a story told of a certain man who went down from Jerusalem and fell among his enemies, who stripped him and wounded him and departed, leaving him half dead, as many of our boys are left in North Africa today. And by chance a man came that way, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. And likewise another man came and looked on him and passed by on the other side. But a "certain Samaritan came where he was, and when he saw him he had compassion on him. He bound up his wounds and set' him on his beast and took him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed he said to the host: Here is money—take care of this sick man, and whatsoever thou spendest more when I come again I will repay thee. For two thousand years the men who passed by on the other side when a stranger lay hurt have been held up to. obloquy and scorn, but today when our own boys are in need John Bull grieves to think that ninety-nine out of every hundred Mastertcnians have passed by on the other side.
