SELF-DENIAL WEEK.
How Salvation Army rlembers Help
Along Its Work.

The Salvation Army is all alive and
actively engaged in preparing for its
annual Self-Denial Week, which takes
place throughout the United States
from November 10th to 22d, inclusive.
Large sums of money have been
raised in past years, and 1t Is a wonder
full testimony to the Army's develop
ment and activity. Each member Of
the Army, as well as the friends Of It's
many social Institutions are asked to
abstain from all luxuries, and in many
cases officers and soldiers have deter
mined to do without certain articles Of
food which are ordinarily considered
necessary, in order that by their acts
of self-denial they may add financial
support to the Army and Its many diff
ferent branches Of work.
The social operations throughout
America have been greatly devel-
oped during the past twelve months.
New food and shelters have been open
ed in New York San Francisco and
Kansas City, respectively. AS a natu-
raj consequence, therefore, the demands
upon the Army funds have increased,
and this will require still greater effort
to raise a corresponding increased
amount during this special Self-Denial
Week. The total amount aimed at is
$40 600
