ARMY'S FOUNDATION
Is. SPIRITUAL WORK
And to Bring About Best Re
suits Here a Big Home
is Needed.

The spiritual work of the salvation
Army is It's foundation. The care OF
the social and physical needs are very.
great nut only means to an end.
The activities under this depart
ment partalee of the nature of open
air meetings, hail meetings. company
meetings. and personal work.
Hardly can one conceive OF man
in large city who has not at one
time or another come within hearing
distance pf the Army stationed on the
street corner talking and singing to
the crowd gathered thereabout. Many
remarkable conversions. many con
fessions. many changes in thought
and in life directions have been
brought about because of the words
and songs which have fioated out TO
the ears OF passersby. Detected and
outcast individuals have been on their
way to suicide pier. but were
checked in their endeavor to end
their life by the touching, tender
notes OF some sweet song; many
man who has been on his way to per-
form some evil and vicious deed has
been checked and his energies direct
ed into the right channel by the in
fiuence Of the Army corps.
In the hali meetings lives have
been saved to the service of the
Master. souls have been born into the
Kingdom, because of.the Army's pre-
sentation of the saving power of the
grace OF God in. the hearts of sin
ners. HusbRndS have been restored
to their famdlles: children to their
parents; sacred memories OF those
who have passed beyond and who in
the past have been neglected. are
now revived and held in tenderour
thought.
The company meetings are held for
the spiritual uplift and inspiration Of
the members of,the local corps. also
to review and devise ways and means
OF further promoting the Kingdom of
God: for the training OF young re-
crults and for the spiritual admoni-
ton OF all present.
