LIPS THAT NEVER SMILED Dear Friends: I want you to excuse me for the letter I’m sending to you. I am a very miser able girl because my cruel destiny gave me very bad strokes since I was but a little child. I was only 12 years old when I was affected by T.B. For ten whole years I have been sick in bed suffering bitterly. I have not experi enced any joy in my life, and my lips have never smiled. I get awfully dis appointed and tears roll down my face whenever I think that there is nobody to care for me. My mother tries so hard to support my 5 younger brothers and sisters. They are not only very poor, but victims of the last earthquake too. Our house was completely destroyed, that is why they are living in a hut now. My sister who could help my mother a little got recently sick too. Please dear friends, don’t close your heart to my appeal and send whatever you want. If I had money to buy the medicine perhaps I would feel better. I’ll be grateful to you all my life. All my hopes are set on you. Yours respectfully, Panayiota Demopoulou Sanitarium Soteria Athens, Greece How can we call ourselves Christians and refuse to put a smile on the lips of this girl ? She certainly needs the Word of God as so many of the other 2,200 patients in this Sanitarium in Greece do. But as the Word of God is given to her, we must also make her feel in a tangi ble way our love by providing the need ed medicine, food and clothing. The isame we must do for her dear homeless earthquake-stricken family. At this Thanksgiving season the American Mission to Greeks has the op portunity of distributing to such needy families in Greece 2,000 food packages. With only one dollar 22 lbs. of butter, cheese, beans and rice Can be placed in 'the hands of a hungry family. This Thanksgiving, show you are thankful ■ for your abundance by sharing. Remem ber that 2/3 of the people in the world go hungry every night, and over three •million of them are in Greece, whose population is only eight million. Will they go hungry even after you have read this? Please send your gifts to Rev. Spiros Zodhiates, General Secretary, American Mission to Greeks, Inc., Dept. K, P.O. Box 423, New York 36, N.Y. (In Can ada: 90 Duplek Ave., Toronto 7, On tario.)
