world has gradually come to know
something of the great work they are
doing.
Varied Social Work.
While all Salvation Army operations
have as the ultimate goal the saving
of the whole man, body and soul. 1t is
the social and industrial part of the
work that attracts the most attention
and awakens the broadest sympathy.
The extent of this work is compre-
hended by few who see the sober-clad
soldiers on their daily and nightly
rounds. 1t comprises many and varied
branches, such as workingmen's ho-
tells, Industrial homes. rescue homes,
children's homes, maternity hospitals,
work in prisons and slums. farm col
onies. summer outings and Christmas
dinners. Some of its charities are
more than self-supporting. but every
cent that is made by them is used In
other branches of the work, and for
the rest the army depends on the con-
tributions OF philanthropic persons
who believe that no other agency is
SO potent in reaching and elevating
the submerged tenth" The public is

licitation. but by means of periodicals.
of which the Army publishes SO, with
total of more than 1.013.000 copies
issued. 1t operates in 81 countries
and colonies and breaches the gospel

The Army In Chicago.
Chicago is the headquarters for the
western territory of the Army in the
United States, with Commissioner
Thomas Estill in command, and the
operations of the army here are a
fine example of its work throughout

ChIIdren's Industrial Farm.
In California, 20 miles from Santa
Rosa. is one OF the Army's greatest In
stituions-the Lytton Springs Chi
dren's Industrial farm of $50 acres.
Once 1t was sanitarium and summer
retreat People went there to get the
benefits OF the mineral waters. the
balmiy air. the glorious vistas below
and fern-carpeted canyons behind On
1t there was big hotel and ten cot
tages. and these erstwhile abodes of
the sick and weary are now the haunts
and homes OF happy children.
About five years ago the Salvation
Army. working on the principle that
the country is the right place to bring
up children. founded the home. 1t
was the outgrowth OF small home
maintained by the order In San Fran
cisco. Maj C. W. Bourne and his wife
were installed as superintendents. and
the useful career of marvelously USE
ful institution was begun. 1t is now
the home of about 200 happy. healthy
and most useful children. The boys
are learning to be skillful farmers and
dairymen and the gir1s to be model
housekeepers-and all of them to be
good citizens. Much of the produce
OF the farm is sold In San Francisco.
Rescue and Maternity Home.
OF all It's institutions. the Salvation
Army in Chicago is perhaps proudest
OF the Rescue and Maternity Home.
or this the present matron. Mrs. En-
sign Smith. writes:
Our social operations and coloni-
zation schemes met the hearty ap-
proval of the socialistic minded. Our
children's homes and even slum posts
excited the admiration of philan-
thropists, but Just depict poor girl
strayed from the path of virtue and
rectitude. or one stepped In vileness,
and the majority of your listeners
would either ridicule or turn their of
Tended moral nostrils away in disgust.
Whence shall the poor. fallen girl turn
when the whole world is against her?
1t was the practical answer to this
momentous question from the myriads
of submerged daughters that opened
the rescue home. and the western
metropolis was not one whit behind
her sister cities, for in 1895 our insti-
tuition was formally opened"
Five times the home was moved to
more commodious quarters. and its
work has increased steadily. Last
year So children were born there. The
total number of girls received during
the year was 1876. About so of the
girls who have been in the home re-
turn regularly for the monthly meet
ings Scores of them arc now hannfIv
married and settled down in good
homes and with loving husbands.
What sociologists find to praise most
in the Salvation Armys maternity
homes is the fact that every effort Is
made to induce the unfortunate young
mothers to keep their children. This
Is admittedly the most potent factor
in their moral regeneration.

Vast Business System.
The executive work OF the army
that falls upon the shoulders Of its
octogenarian leader is enormous. Be-
sides its multitudinous charitable In
stitutions, for all of which the most
efficient business managent Is re-
quired. there are dozens OF other de-
partments of its work that are almost
unknown to the general public. For
instance, there Is the management Of
the great properties of the army and
its building operations. 1t does all its
own planning and building. even train
ing its own architects. builders and
workmen. Then It has large printing
and engraving plants and the manage
ment of its publications Is in itself a
great business.
The army's profits from its ex-
tensiye trading operations are devoted
entirely to the furtherance of its re-
form propaganda, the extension and
development Of its mission field. A
special point is rightly made of the
fact that no officer profits to the ex-
tent OF single cent from the financial
success of its business enterprises.
The funds OF the army are admins
tered by central board in London
and every account is subjected to
rigid inspection A regular audit of
the books is also made by account
ants of standing engaged from outside
the army roll. A board also consults
with the general on each detail Of
army policy as 1t arises. Day and
night ceaselessly-for the strain is
never off-this central committee,
keenly alert, watches every develop
ment affecting the good of men the
world over. Every section Of the
army is linked with this central com
mittee by the cable.

families. at a cost in cash, clothing,
coal and medicines of $2.642.36.
Clothing for the poor is collected all
over the city by the army's wagons
and is repaired and distributed from
its Industrial home. At this institu-
tion temporary employment is given
to many men who. having held re-
sponsible positions. have fallen low
through drink or other causes. Scores
of these men are reclaimed and later
placed in good positions, and on leav-
ing the home they are given money
which they earned by their work
there. Many self-supporting wom-

relieved by the army. nursed back to
health and restored to her place
among the wage-earners.

No other religious organization in

Need Of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University of HUI
manity grew naturally out of the de.
velopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With a field as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
of workers that can be secured and

GEN. BOOTH ON EIGHTIETH
BIRTHDAY STARTS NEW PLAN
Veteran Founder of Salvation Army Launches
Scheme for University of Humanity" in the
United States---All the World Celebrates
Anniversary of His Birth.

New York.-Gen. William Booth.
, founder and commander-in-chief of the
Salvation Army. celebrated his eight
teth birthday on Saturday, April 10.
and the event was made the occasion
OF rejoicing all over the civilized
world. The Army itself held big meet
ings in every city and town where it
is established, and these were partici-
pated in by hundreds Of thousands of
other citizens who were glad to do
honor to the distinguished philan-
thropist.
Gen. Booth himself presided over
several monster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
fact that he was operated on recently
for cataract did not deter him from
taking part In the celebrations held by
his devoted soldiers.
University Of Humanity Launched.
In America the day was marked
especially by the launching of another
of Gen. Booths original schemes for
social reform in the United States.
At every post of the army was an
uounced the beginning of work to
found University of Humanity. a
great institution for the training of
workers in social service. The uni
versity will be divided between New
York and Chicago, and it is expected
to begin with fund of 81, ,000, 900. The
gathering of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in
commemoration of its famous leaders
completion Of his eightieth year.
AS much-needed stone in the great
organizational structure that William
Booth has been building during the
past Al years, this idea of a school
for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he has lust
consented to the beginning of pre-
1iminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
1t is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery of civilization for the uplift-
ing of the submerged tenth, the vast
system of charities now so essential
a part of modern life, is to a very
large extent an outgrowth of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could best be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be-
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success Of this now familiar
principle of so-called missionary
work"
This whole plan of campaign for
raising the fallen begnn ON a very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
and crime-infested East end of Lon
don and under the impetus of William
Booths singular force of mind and
personality and the momentum that It
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity 1t has developed into truly
astonishing organization.
