Christmas Dinners for Thousands.
The spectacular side of the Saliva
ton Army's work reaches it's climax
at Christmas time. For many days
before the festival there may be seen
on every prominent corner in the
business district a Salvation lass,
who, despite snow, wind, sleet and
cold cheerfully stands with tam
BOURNE in hand, appealing to the pass
er-by for the wherewithal to provide
a happy Christmas for more than 12,-
600 of Chicago's poor. These people
have no one to plan pleasant Christ
mas surprises for them, and the
knowledge that the Salvation Army
has not forgotten them on the day of
universal rejoicing is n of the
brightest spots in their dreary lives.

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 broadcast sympathy.
The extent of this work is cOmpre-
hended by few who see the ~sober-clad
soldiers on their daily and nightly
rounds. It comprises many and varied
branches, such as wOrkingmen's no.
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
reached not only through personal So
licitation, but by means of periodicals,
of which the Army publishes SO, with
a total of more than 1,013, 900 copies
issued. 1t operates in 81 countries
and colonies and breaches the gospel
in % languages.
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

value of such an institution, where
thousands of poor, outcast girls, swift
ly drifting on the dark current to per-
dition, are rescued and find a peaceful
haven"
Vast Business System.
The executive work of the army
that falls upon the shoulders of its
o~ctogenarian leader Is enormous. Be
sides its multitudinous charitable in
situations, for all Of which the most
efficient business managent is re-
CURED, 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
it's building operations. 1t does all its
own planning and building, even train
ing it's own architects, builders and
workmen. Then it has large printing
and engraving plants and the manage

great business.
The army's profits from its ex-
tensive 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 a single cent from the financial
success of it's business enterprises.

Some Of the departments Of It's
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
Inebriates' homes, Boys and Girls
homes. Farm colonies, Emigration,
Naval and Military homes, Maternity
homes, nursing, Samaritan brigades,

lice court work and Indian school

No other religious organization in

Need of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University of HUI
mainly 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
its effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness of these workers. AS

elusive movement which must miss
none, the problems of organization
have grown greater. Charity has be-
come a science and it's application an
art requiring the highest DEVELOPMENT
of personal qualities of insight and
altruism. There is thus pressing need
for workers of quite exceptional DUAL:
ifcation. These qualifications must
first Of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and spe.
cial training.
This is the new work planned bv
Gen. Booth. Those women, for in.

ger of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
the value of better living conditions
in raising the moral courage of those
to whom fate has been unkind. They
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to impart
their knowledge and to inspire with
a desire for betterment.
Value of the Organization.
This will be but a small part of the
university's training in social service
as planned by the patriarchal evangel
list, but it w to show of what
value such an organization will be.

Anniversary of His Birth.

New York.-Gen. William Booth.
founder and commander-in-chief of the
Salvation Army, celebrated his eight
ieth 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
1ngs in every city and own 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
nounced the beginning of work to
found a 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 a fund of 81, 600, 900. The
gathering of this fund is the work

completion of his eightieth year.
AS a 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 t, the beginning of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
It 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 began 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 II
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity it has developed into a truly
astonishing organization
