“Light the World,” 1914

3 Comments

From an unsigned editorial in the December 1914 Relief Society Bulletin –

I know a good woman who has gathered over $400 to distribute to the destitute Saints in the European missions through President Hyrum M. Smith. Many of the givers of these gifts were poor widows themselves, struggling and almost destitute, but they have gladly denied themselves, and have appealed to the tender impulses of their friends to use their Christmas money in thus relieving the wants of our own Saints in Europe, whose fathers and husbands have gone out to this dreadful war. This, indeed, is a work of love and charity. Such work and kindred labors will prepare a Christmas atmosphere that will envelope us all in a robe of love and peace.

What are you giving this Christmas to the Master?

  1. That widows mite gets you every time. It seems no matter what I give, there are those that have very little that give so much more. It is what I call ‘Heart Money’. I have to believe that the dividends are huge in the here after.
