Monsieur Moynier, President of the International Committee since its
foundation in 1864, has collected in a cabinet all the souvenirs,
orders, and testimonials of gratitude he has received during his long
connection with the universal Red Cross. The idea of Christian charity is
represented by an engraving of Christ dying upon the cross. Photographs
of the founders of the Red Cross in different countries fill one album,
and the publications of the International Committee form in themselves
quite a library. The University of Tomsk, on the 350th anniversary
of its foundation, unanimously conferred honorary membership of the
university upon Monsieur Moynier, the highest academic honor that can be
given in Russia. The Grand Duchess of Baden, in the name of the Baden
Women’s Union of the Red Cross, has sent to Monsieur Moynier, with a
personal letter, a medal and an illuminated address. The medal bears the
indication of the 50th jubilee of this union, which was actually formed
before the Red Cross, with a red cross in the center on the one side of
the medal and on the other the grand ducal arms and the motto of the
society, “Gott mit uns.”
Of the American Red Cross Text-Book on First Aid, by Major Charles
Lynch, U. S. A., Dr. Ferriere speaks most highly in the _International
Bulletin_, saying that it merits being translated and adopted by other
Red Cross Societies.
The _International Bulletin_, in referring to the international relief
work done by the Red Cross, says: “The international solidarity is
developing and may well some day crystallize into a convention like that
of Geneva, for the purpose of organizing specially for international
assistance at times of great calamities.”
