SALVATION ARMY,

Among the religious denominations
and workers for the good OF humanity
in albuquerque, the Salvation Army
cannot be overlooked. They occupy a
distinct place; a field that is all their
own. Into the slums, around the
street corners, into the red light dis
trict," anywhere and everywhere that
they think they can accomplish some
good, go the lassies of the Salvation
Army. Those who have not the fine
clothes in which to attend the differ
ent churches; those who would no go
to church if they had; those of the
demi-mOnde; those who make the
saloons and slums their abiding
places, are the ones appealed to by
the Salvation Army. Many a tramp,
on robbery bent; many a woman on
the downward path; many a n com
ing out of the saloons, have stopped
to listen as they preached the gospel
from the curb stoue-have listened
and turned away with better feeling.

pulses coursing through them, And
thus the Salvation Army accomplishes
good that Is not always shown in
making a convert. Each evening they
preach upon the streets, from $50 to

at the corner of Third street and Cop
