This column's happiest readers are the men, women and children who know they're needed. The days we're busiest helping others are the happiest days of our lives.... Who needs you most? Surprisingly, God needs you - for instance, to help an abandoned orphan become a God-loving, responsible adult. Lepers need you (there are still 15-million lepers in the world), blind children need you, and so do we. ... Here in New York we are your agents, telling 'you where the Holy Father says your help is needed, and channeling your help promptly and safely to the people in need. . . . Want to feel good right now? Do without something you want but do not need, and .send the money instead for. one of the needs below. You'll feel good, especially if your gift is big enough -to mean a sacrifice to you. This is your chance to do something meaningful for the world-it's God's world-while you're still alive.
