years. 1t is established in all the
principal cities, the mining camps and
farming villages. The Salvation army
flag will be found all over the Com
monwealth. We have raised in that
time band of officers numbering 1900
who are fully employed in pushing the
interests OF the army, and there are
thousands of bandsmen and a splendid
lot of fighting soldiers.
In addition, We have opened up
social settlements throughout the whole
of the Commonwealth. There are shell
tiers for poor men, homes for discharg-

the aged and depressed we have num-

The children in these are sent by the
various governments for which we
have capitation fee, changing accord
