SAL vAT|OA ARMY
AND ITS WORK HERE
HAS NO FIGHT TO MAKE ON ANY
MIssION. BUT PROTESTS
AGAINST USE OF NAME,
Editor of The Nirginian:


in your valuable paper In its issue OF
yesterday,
Your correspondent, 20. F. Med
states that recent attacks have been
made upon mission operating at
Eighteenth and Main streets. and that
these attacks were brought about by
members Of the Salvation Army. The
officers of the local work of the only
legally organized corps Of the Saliva
ton Army in Richmond have never
thought Of attacking the work done
by any mission or by its workers.
They wish all fellow laborers engaged
in any kind of mission work, which
ministers to the uplift of the down
trodden in our midst, godspeed. They
have not the slightest wish to attack

for our common Master and in their
present effort to reach the most wor-

information which is afforded through
the files OF the Associated Charities.

local papers of Richmond on Decem-

local officers of the Salvation Army
are Responsible. This Was written tn

was In operation an effort to secure
funds for the furnishing of Christmas
dinners to the poor. which closely
resembled the effort which the Sal
walton Army has made for the past
six years in this city as to permit the
strongest probability Of its being mis-

ICED organization bearing this name.
All that was desired on the part of
the officers in charge Of the work
here was that the public should not
be misled into contributing to the
effort Of another organizations. heliee-
ing that when they did so that they
were aiding the work of the Salvation
Army, Surely they cannot he blamed
for this when others were engaged
in the solicitation OF funds upon the
streets and were receiving the con-
